The last prayer of Yom Kippur is the Neilah service, trying to get the last prayers in before the gates of Heaven close.

I posted a "thank goodness that's over" comment in yesterday's Pub by mistake.  Standing in sneakers for some ten hours can get a little agonizing.

The last Yom Kippur service may be Neilah, but the "Avodah" service during Mincha, which recounts the Temple service in ancient times, is the "Kneel-a-Lot" service.

It is, except we didn't have room to kneel.

It was at a Chabad, where he has a tent for these services, but it was too cold to use the tent, so we were crowded inside, where it was so hot I had to take my jacket off to keep from passing out. (Note many people are still cold when it is too hot for me to function well)

I do like the Chabad atmosphere of kids running through, though, showing the next generation is being raised properly, while all the old guys pray.

Kids with plush shofar toys. Wanting to touch the Torah.

Usually, this Chabad has a lot of Leviim; today, for the blessing of the Cohanim, we had three Cohanim, and one Levi (me) to wash their hands. It is an honor

The other Dem candidates will make sure the power outages are spread equally.

JFK: Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.

All the Dem candidates: Ask what free stuff your country can give you
