I very much appreciated your sensitive interpretation of the Jewish high holidays - and you offered reflections that I had not considered in spite of growing up Jewish. The one addition I might offer is that in many schools of Judaism the soul is less "accounted for" than it is "read" as a sacred text and thus interpreted rather than tallied. One prays "to be inscribed in the Book of Life" for another year. Thank you for creating this bridge between Judaism and Christianity in a personal and caring fashion. --Norm

Norm, Thank you, this comment means a lot to me. I really appreciate your insight about "account" vs. "read"...I love the idea of reading the soul as a sacred text, that is so meaningful, and of course what you said about tallied vs. interpreted is so good, I like what you've added so much more...reading the soul. I'll be pondering that for a while.
