It truly is amazing that I manage to make my way through this world being as clueless as I am.
We had a lovely Bar Mitzvah service at shul yesterday. Noticing that the hue of the yarmulkes was a kelly green, I asked the young man if green was his favourite colour. He laughed, "No, it's for St. Patrick's Day."
"Really?" I replied, "when is that?"
"Rabbi, it's today."
I mean, I did know that it was in March...sometime...
And I also knew that yesterday was the 27th of Adar.
That's got to count for something, right??
My name is not Sarah, though I have nothing against the name. It's a beautiful name...in fact, it's my daughter's middle name. "Frume Sarah," besides being a character in "Fiddler on the Roof," is also a moniker bestowed upon me long ago by my dad. It refers to my tendency to stick fairly close to our cultural and religious traditions. In fact, while in Rabbinical school, my 25 page theological statement was entitled "They Don't Call Me Frume Sarah For Nothing."
