REPOST: May it be your will, Hashem… יהי רצון מלפניך

(reposted from last year – sorry; too busy making my lime pie to write something original)

… that we all have an easy fast and be inscribed for a gourd, sweet year.

יהי רצון מלפניך ה' אלוקינו ואלוקי אבותינו שֶׁיִּקָרַע רֹעַ גְּזַר דיננו, וְיִקָרְאּוּ לפניך זכויותינו.

I k now we don’t usually say “yehi ratzons” for Yom Kippur, but I found these old pictures from last year’s Sukkah Party, and I couldn’t resist.

גמר טוב וצום קל לכולם!!!

p.s.  Wondering what the “other half” does on Yom Kippur?  Here, courtesy of DovBear’s blog, are TEN different “other-half” perspectives on Kol Nidrei services.

And a great key-lime pie recipe for after the fast!

    I noticed the key-lime pie url includes the word "nummy". I hope that has nothing to do with the usage on the rest of your blog. . .

    @Anonymous - re "nummy" - not my recipe, so I have no say in how the word is used. :-)))

Are Jews an "underrepresented community" in children’s publishing?

I applied for a writing award yesterday. I'm not going to get it, but that's not what I wanted to share with you. Here's what I wanted to share. This box:   I stared at this box for a long, long time. And then I decided not to check it. Even though I believe people like me truly are underrepresented, we probably wouldn’t fit the definition in other people's minds. Why? Well, because we're European. Because we are white.
