Last night we were formally welcomed to our new synagogue, Congregation Beth Israel, with a lovely musical service in the gorgeous sanctuary. Rachel managed to sit on Drew's lap for a while, but then got restless. So, she spent most of the hourlong service crawling around in the lobby.
You can imagine how her yelps reverberated througout the synagogue. Luckily Rabbi Cahana has a sense of humor (he has a 16-year-old son and 11-year-old triplet girls) so he didn't even stop his sermon!
Later, at the reception, Rachel continued crawling around. She probably was amazed at all the room she had -- it must have felt like a giant playground! No chairs and nothing else to impede her progress except a lot of legs.
An elderly woman noticed Rachel and said to Drew, "that is one happy baby!" And most of the time, it is true. We feel very blessed.
