A Letter to God the Day After Simchat Torah
Dear Hashem,
During the past month I blew a ram’s horn
ate a fish head
swung a chicken around my head
dressed in a suit
and sneakers
and sneakersthen wore a white robe
prayed and fasted for 25 hours
built a tent with a bamboo ceiling
and then ate all my meals in it
(sometimes in the rain)
(sometimes in the rain)I spent 3 consecutive days with my in-laws
and 3 more with my parents
walked around with a palm branch and a citrus fruit
whipped willow branches on the floor
ate roughly 8 lbs of meat
2 lbs of chopped fish
and 3 gallons of soup with noodles and/or Matzo balls
used 7 vacation days without leaving my neighborhood
and spent almost as much time in shul
as I did in my office
as I did in my officeAll I ask of You is: Please let me and my loved ones repeat this process for many years to come
very cute!
