Guys, It is amazing how a 'word picture' can focus one.

    Years ago, a dear friend from South Africa, happily remarried to a rancher NE of Napa, told me about the first time she went to the Reform Temple in San Francisco on Rosh HaShana, Jewish New Year. On that Holy Day, we blow the ram's horn, or 'shofar' in Hebrew.
   She was accompanied by her husband, his father and his step-mother, all non-Jews (she is Jewish). When they pulled out the ram's horn on the Dais of the Temple, she said,"Wonderful! They are going to blow the 'shofar' now!"
Her father-in-law's response was classic: "Boy, you Jews sure treat your staff well!"  Roll Eyes Shocked Cheesy
Best,
Shabbat Shalom,
Joey
