Rosh Hashanah began on Monday night. So did the chills. Is it a bad sign if the new year starts off with the entire family (well, all the family members who gathered at Mama’s house) getting ill with a nasty stomach virus? It was not an enjoyable celebration (sorry, family, although I did enjoy seeing you; next time, please leave your illnesses at home and we’ll have a better time). And since it seems I already fasted this week, do I still have to fast next week on Yom Kippur? Just wondering (and trying).
