Wow, I forgot to update for the past few days. Sorry guys.
In my defense, not much was happening. It was rather hot, and the kids were rather cranky from said heat.
And then today was rather busy. I attended the Bat Mitzvah at Temple Israel in the morning, and then hung out with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

The Bat Mitzvah... It reminded me far more of an Eagle ceremony or a Girl Scout Gold Award than the Episcopalian Confirmation. It's far more celebrating the individual person's achievement, whereas confirmations are typically done in batches whenever the bishop arranges to do one. I'll have to do a larger reflection on it later, for my independent study journal.
Mom also reminded me of a book I have to let the Rabbi read. Oh Ye Jigs and Juleps, by Virginia Hudson. It's a ten-year-old's viewpoint on the Episcopal Church at the turn of the last century. Back when we deserved the nickname "God's Frozen Chosen". It's amusing, to say the least. Parts of it still really apply, parts are obvious artifacts of the time period.
