Happy Gregorian!
As we all have celebrated the recent coming of the sun around the Earth a miraculously 365 and 1/4 time the gears in my head have spun and I think. Though is not a Judaism event many houses of moish did this occasionally observe and I wonder about assimilationism. Over more, I am pondering the differentification between assimilation and occulteration. What make we different? Are the people Jews have same cultural rights in AmeriC-C-C-a? Serious now, point one that has delineated us in house of moish hoboken is recent adventure in tumbling down mountain with silly long flat shoes.
Traveling to white powder covered bumpy land natives know as Pinoccios. We sanged songs of Jewy time long past and litted small pillers of rememberance fires, we mixed broken ices and knew each other, we welcomed the Shabath Queen and feasted on resting day. Jew we all were as one but it could not have been so much togetherness without the Kristian Ameri-States. We traveled on their messiahday in the vacationing they call "winter" but is the ex-mess and evergreen vacation. So in honouring of suns two thousand and nineth rotation around the Earth I think we are acculterated and that is okay.
Nothing is wrong with living in larger non-Jewy world. Houses of Moishe get that. Living in worlds two is what Jewsies have done and what we do this year. Committed not only to resolutions of the gregorian year but also as Jews. Here is to 2009!
