Last night was Erev Rosh Hashana, which means that as of sundown yesterday, it is a new year in the Jewish calendar: 5774. Yay.
Last year Erev Rosh Hashana fell on September 16, the night before my surgery. So in Jewish calendar time, a year has passed since my surgery.
Weird.
Anyway, last night I went to services. It was ok. Starting at 6pm was pretty lame in my opinion, since getting across DC in the middle of rush hour traffic is next to impossible to do quickly. Especially when you're relying on public transportation. So I was 5 minutes late and it took another 5 minutes to find a seat. Blah. Anyway. After services I went to the Sixth and I NYE Party, where we had a countdown to sundown, which was kinda awesome. It was certainly a much better new years than December 31 was!
