That's *Ms.* Brittany-Spearser Rebbe to you!
I know that in the entries I've written so far about Hebrew class, I've mentioned that I am kicking some Hebrew butt. I've also acknowledged that a day would come when I would no longer do so. That day has arrived.
I don't know if it's because I was a little groggy in class today because I'm still sick or if we've just exceeded the number of words I'm capable of remembering at once, but I am now officially confused. For the first time, while doing my homework, I have to search frantically through the glossary I have created for the textbook to figure out what the heck the book is saying -- even with the words we just learned in class today.
I think I can guess pretty accurately that from here on out, getting up and dressed and off to class won't be so fun for me. It's not fun to suck.
In other Jewish-y news, I contacted the Recon synagogue in Cleveland, Kol Halev about the exorbitant cost of attending high holiday services, and they kindly offered to let us pay whatever we could afford. We are now officially on The List to attend their services. So I'll be actually GOING to high holiday services for the first time since... 1998?
That's so bizarre. I love high holiday services. But in 1999-2002, I was at college and unable to attend a synagogue. Then in 2003, my family had just left our synagogue at home and I was completely confused about how to get tickets without membership. Then in 2004, I had a complete nervous breakdown on the first day of Rosh Hashanah that resulted in me staying in bed for a good two weeks.
Also, in my quest for good podcasts, I've discovered There are Jews in Alabama? and I'm loving it. Nothing beats Shalom Y'all, but considering that I'll get new material to listen to every week, I'll take it.
Ok, I can't write this entry and watch Gilmore Girls at the same time. I'll be done now. I'll leave you with my Hassidic Rebbe Name:
You are very wise, humble and pious, Rebecca...
from this day forward you will now be known as the holy Reb Tzemer Yerushalmi Feldman of Uzliany , also known as the 'Brittany-Spearser Rebbe'...now let your chassidish adventures begin, your talmidim are waiting!
