Simchat Torah wasn't very Sameach for me.
Monday night in shul was very difficult for me. I found out that for whatever reason, we were excluded from an Anglo pot luck meal...
And watching the dancing was...I was ready to cry...
It was tremendously depressing watching fathers dancing with their kids, many with more kids than hands or shoulders. Watching them all dancing around the bimah, kids on shoulders...and then there was Zach.
I saw him standing off to the side, alone...I watched him dancing with his hands on the Rabbi's shoulders... with no kids of his own and I just wanted to cry.
I'm not sure how it affected him, he didn't seem nearly as upset as I was... am.
Needless to say, I didn't go to Hakafot today.
