Went to Chabad tonight, which was fun, but I definately like Hillel better. Then again, it is probably hard to judge when there are so few people there. But I don't like gatherings of lots of people, so I probably would have liked it even less that way. What I love about Hillel isn't the dinner, which is just kind of a nice addendum, but the services.
Which reminds me - Susan called tonight to wish me Shabbat Shalom and left me a message that almost made me cry about how she went to services tonight at her home synagogue and was listening to the organ and it made her appreciate the warmth of Hillel services and of me and Judy. And then I decided, for the moment, that maybe after all I really do want to be a cantor. Because I want to help people discover their spiritual selves. But then maybe you can do that as a professor too. Maybe I will never decide what I want to be when I grow up.
Maybe I won't grow up.
I went to Elisa's apartment after Chabad, and she and her roommates are entering a gingerbread house contest. They've been working on their gingerbread house all day. It is breathtaking. I've never seen anything like it. It is a bakery - it has individual bricks, a shingled roof, tinted windows, a table, chairs, and some cakes that you can see through the window, awning, trees and a snowman outside. It is beautiful!
And tomorrow (or later today, technically) I will be home...
