I have no particular reason for pondering this, of course.

43% of British Jews do not attend Rosh Hashah services. Source: www.jpr.org.uk/reports/jews...

Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur
• In 2022, 57% of all British Jews attended at least one in-person synagogue service
on Rosh Hashana and, separately, 15% participated in one online.
• Three-quarters (74%) of all Jews observed Rosh Hashana rituals (e.g. lighting candles,
eating apple and honey) at home.
• Jews in their forties were more likely than any other age band to attend an in-person
synagogue service on Rosh Hashana; of all age bands, those aged from their twenties
to their forties were most likely to observe rituals at home.
• Six out of ten (59%) non-synagogue members observed Rosh Hashana rituals at home,
although far fewer attended a synagogue service in-person (13%) or online (8%).
• 56% of all Jews say they fast on Yom Kippur every year, three-percentage points
higher than a decade ago. 13% of Jews do not fast for health reasons and a further
18% never fast – a considerable decline from a decade ago when the equivalent
proportion was 26%.

It's a rough start to a rough week in what promises to be a rough month, but my hair has decided to be amazing today so we'll celebrate the small wins.

OP stands in front of a book case. Their hair falls in front of their face in a perfect, dark pink, corkscrew curl.

What... and I cannot possibly emphasise this enough... what the absolute fuck.

MS PowerPoint design suggestions for a slide with the text "Hur växte begreppet sionist/sionism fram, och vad betydde set under samtiden? Hur har värdering av begreppet förändrats till idag?" (How did the term Zionist/Zionism emerge, and what did it mean in that time? How has the evolution of the term changed till today?)

Recommended clip art is a splat in the first slide and a can of roach spray in the third slide.

🎶Frodo of the Nine Fingers And the ring of doom Why does he have nine fingers? Where is the ring of doom?🎶

Cynthia Ozick, "Notes Toward Finding the Right Question", Lilith Magazine 17 July 1979: "The philosopher Suzanne K. Langer somewhere observes that every answer is concealed in the question that elicits it, and that what we must strive to do, then, is not look for the right answer, but attempt rather to discover the right question."

Here are the household TBR shelves.

A couple shelves containing books that either OP, their spouse, or possibly both have not yet gotten around to reading.

Since I keep promising @canadianerrant.bsky.social here is the current state of the garden--very overgrown and in need of mulching.

The shade garden which needs a lot more stone added to the path.

Courgette is growing big but not yielding anywhere near as much as last year. Herb garden has mostly recovered after a bad winter. Cherry trees had a major aphid infestation in the early spring and didn't fruit but they're still alive so we'll call that a win.

Plum trees are happy, and that phlox is enormous.

We can agree that bright white window guards would be very very bad here, yeah?

One of the things I love about Sweden is that I can wander into the vaccine clinic, look at the menu, and decide what I want to order today (shingles and TBE). They even sell gift certificates!
