Ready to go!
We have completed the celebration of our Tishrei holidays. This morning a congregant saw me at services and said, "I thought you were in Italy." My response, "I am in Italy but my body is still here until tomorrow."
We have a wonderful group of 29 people. Many of us will take a shuttle to Toronto and fly from there. If all goes smoothly by Wednesday we will all be in Venice.
Looking forward to good camaraderie, great food and wine, beautiful sites, and gorgeous countryside.
We will visit the Jewish sites along the way and go to Shabbat services in Florence in both the Reform congregation and the large Orthodox one. We will hopefully have meetings with the Israeli ambassador to the Vatican and leaders of the Jewish community in Rome. Thanks to our connections here in Rochester, and the kindness of Bishop Matano, we will meet with an official of the office of Catholic-Jewish relations in the Vatican.
