This week (tomorrow night, actually) marks the beginning of the High Holy Days in Judaism (and Ramadan, BTW), so I wanted to honor that not by going to synagogue, but by posting a video by gestalt therapist Yaron Ziv about forgiveness -- done entirely in Hebrew. I listened to most of it, but couldn't understand a thing. For all I know, he could be the idiot Israeli brother to Deepak Chopra. But I loved to listen to him; it almost made me fall asleep, as though I were in synagogue. If he had broken out the Kol Nidre, that really would've rocked. Or the Sh'ma -- that, too, makes me feel warm inside. I guess it makes George Bush feel warm inside too, and that's why he started celebrating a week early.
