Birthday season begins in earnest...

Happy birthday, gilana!

(Oh yeah, and I'm sponsoring tomorrow morning's kiddush at the shul, so there'll be birthday cake. So if you come for that, we'll sing to you too! :-)

Wow, if kiddush is in honor of your birthday, I think I will cancel my plans of hiding underneath a blanket on the couch. =)

Hey, it's really cool that for your birthday this year you get to fast. Bet that was on the top of your list of things you wanted to do!

Anyway, since I will undoubtedly forget between now and then, happy birthday in advance.

Yeah, lucky me. :-) But it'll feel so good when I stop!

Actually, I always enjoy YK (fasting discomfort aside), so it could be worse. Some years I get Simchat Torah instead, though, and that's of course more the proper mode for celebrating a birthday. A worthwhile trade. And at least I'm not in the April birthday cycle with its high probability of Pesach "cake" 8-)

There are kabbalists who state that Yom Kippur is the most joyous holiday in the Jewish year.

I'm starting to understand that, a little.

Thanks so much! It's been a fabulous one so far -- hope yours will be as good. I'm hoping to make it to shul tomorrow, but if not, I plan to see you tomorrow night!

well, my sister was born on yom kippur. she gets this every year. just imagine.
(and i was born on tisha b'av and my brother was born on 17th of Tammuz. seriously. although i do have a brother born on yom h'atzmaut and a sister born on yom yerushalayim, so it's not all bad.)

just browsing and came across your journal. (interests: hebrew) yom huladet sameach.
