Leah asked to go to Rosh Hashana services this year. We didn't attend Thursday services but we did end up at Friday's. She really enjoyed it! I do have to say the majority of the children at the family service had a good time. The leaders do a great job at making it interesting and interactive for the kids. Leah recognized some of the parts of the service (Aleinu, Ein Keloheinu and Adon Olam) and I even heard her trying to sing along to Ein Keloheinu and Adon Olam. I know most of the prayers and hymns by heart now due to working at the synagogue and with the Hebrew School for the last 4 years. It seems that Leah has picked up a lot along the way as well. She had a blast (literally) blowing her Shofar and has made me promise to get her a real one some day. She has also asked to attend Hebrew School. I told her we will give it a go. She is going to attend this upcoming Wednesday and then we will see where we will go from there.
All of this is new to us as Matt is pretty much secular and semi-agnostic and I go back and forth between an interest in religion (nothing too specific) and atheism.
Nevertheless Leah is showing an interest and we will support her along the journey. She has also asked if she can attend a service at her friend Mayah's church and at another friend's church. We are going to be attending those services in the next month or so.
Matt asked her if she wants to go back next week for Yom Kippur services and Leah shouter a 'yes!'. Good thing for that job of mine or else those would be some expensive tickets! lol
