L'Shana Tovah!

I think it's the year 5767, but I could be wrong...At any rate, Hippy New Weir to the weirld!
I'm not religious so won't be going to shul this or next weekend.

I don't even belong to a shul, but I teach at a JCC and since I teach 3 different classes, I light shabbat candles and sing blessings twice on Thursday and once on Fridays. Shabbat tunes & rhymes are usually stuck in my head thru the weekend.
Bringing in the light for Shabbat
Bringing in the light for Shabbat,
Put a little here, Put a little there.
Put a little light everywhere!
We're dressed up in our best cuz,
Shabbat comes like a guest,
we watch the candles shine
and
say
the prayer
for
wine!"
very catchy stuff...

There's a blessing/song called Adon Olam that's popular around now. A woman named Lynn Gold has made a list of tunes that Adon Olam can be sung to, Uncle John's Band is on it . I can't imagine how that might sound?

On the topic of mixing Jewish things & Deadheadism. Here are a few articles that may interest some
Deadheads do Kabbalah, Jews mythologize Grateful Dead Seder
And also Why are there so many Jewish Deadheads?

Apples & Honey to all!


From GDSTOO:



Bob Weir and RatDog:
We have started the ticketing process for the upcoming
tour. All orders received will be filled. It will take about
2 weeks to get it all done. We try and do this in as much of
a chronological manner as we can, but sometimes tickets
for a later date arrive before tickets for an earlier show get
to us, so not to worry about that.

Tickets are available for all shows and those of you who called
about the Buffalo shows, we have managed to secure some
more tickets, so you are welcome to mail in for those 2 days.
In other words, tickets for the Buffalo shows are available.
