A heads up to the Loyal Readers:
I'm spending this shabbat in Washington Heights and I'm giving the derasha at the Bridge Shul where I interened last year.
The plan is to tie in Mikeitz, Hannukah, and contemporary Sociology of Religion. I have the ideas, just need to work on the ending.
It should be a fun derasha, so if you're in town, davening starts at 8:30.
If there was ever an incentive to wake up before chatzos . . .
Just kidding. I'm always awake *well* before sof z'man krias shema. Should've been a guy . . .
...and I'm not even going to be around this shabbas. I've never here when I need to be, it seems...
It's gonna be a Yuter/Rieser tag team, apparently, if I can find time to work on the intro to the haftarah... (oops, sorry, Josh; I think I just scared off half the audience). Welcome back to M'romei Washington!
Nicely done. :)
