I was scheduled to deliver a brief sermon at our little temple during the service and I blew it off, confessing that I&#8217;d felt no connection there at Rosh Hashanah and would feel like a hypocrite trying to instruct and inspire. I had pretty much decided to skip services there all together but Spuds specifically asked to go there and I agreed to accompany him for a few hours. The four of us discussed alternative observances or gestures to capture the spirit of the day and Himself demurred working in a soup kitchen. I looked on line for services which might be appealing and that one could attend without being a member of a shul but the choices were either &quot;prayer free non-theistic humanistic&quot; or creepy Chabbd sponsored Ortho with men and women divided by mehitzah. I was Goldilocks and all the porridge seemed lousy. I am pissed off, mainly at myself, that I can&#8217;t seem to find the right fit to make Yom Kippur the experience it&#8217;s been in the past. I was in a big rush to get the minutes away from being 16 year old&#8217;s proof of driver&#8217;s training to take him to the DMV and my cellphone fell out of my pocket on Hollywood Blvd. A nice lady returned it but I don&#8217;t do things like that and it proved that I am atypically agitated. We got to the DMV and were informed that a photocopied birth certificate is unacceptable and I did some howling and steering wheel pounding. I suspect the not yet permitted to drive teenager riding shotgun was gratified and comforted to see that there seems to be a genetic propensity for loss of temper, despite the staggeringly bad example of safe driving. Sadly, I see bootcamp as a better anecdote towards becoming chill than the beautiful and most sacred of chants, Kol Nidre.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Layne blogs: It is erev Yom Kippur and I am attending bootcamp instead of Kol Nidre.
