This year the Jewish year started very early, on Labor Day, it happens, not often, but it happens.
We had a lot of celebrating! This dinner was at a friends house, a wonderful house full of great people. I hosted one night as did my Sister in law. We even went to Temple and were in an outdoor service. There was an indoor service but they demanded a vaccine card. No way! I’m vaccinated, but I hate the idea of a vaccine passport. At least the Temple was full of people and a lot of young families with kids milling around. If not for the masks outside, it would have been normal.
Our lovely hosts Burt and Marsha, the feast was amazing and all made by Marsha.
Davida did a wonderful job blowing the shofar. Not an easy task!
The birthday boy!
Not a kid anymore. Btw, he doesn’t like frosting, so his portion wasn’t frosted. What a lovely evening, what a celebration of life and a new year.
On the second day of Rosh, we didn’t have services, so we escaped the heat of the valley for the cool fog of Ventura. Here is the longest wooden pier in CA. 1,600 ft.
Love the flags.
Iconic image. I saw a fisherman who caught an interesting fish, I think it was called a shovel head, the head did look like a shovel. He but the head off and gutted the fish right there. Said it would make a delicious meal. Sorry, no pictures.
Looking back towards town.
Main Street is now a pedestrian walk with all restaurants having seating outside. It was a Wednesday morning so not a lot of action.
The mission of course!
The Masonic Temple, with the emblem on the side. The ground floor is shops, I wonder if there still is a Masonic society or if they just left the symbol on the building.
A lovely mural.
Thats’ it! all in all it was a great holiday.
