An Honor

The Jewish High Holidays are just around the corner. Since Lori passed away, I haven't been to Temple very often. Part of it has been illness, part of it has been financial, and part of it has been loneliness. I used to go all the time, but for some reason or another, I haven't been attending like I should, and would in the past. Today I received a letter from the Temple, asking me if I would like the honor of reading and leading a portion of the High Holiday service. I thought about it - I'm not sure I really deserve it, but then I thought again - perhaps it's a way in which I can give back a little bit to the Temple that has given so much to me. I am deeply honored to have been chosen to do this, and I will do my best to give back of myself to my Temple.
