L'shana tova! So my first holiday in Curacao was an interesting experience. I had some friends from work for dinner on Friday night. I cooked a holiday meal and it was a nice evening.
At services today, we finished the Torah reading and then instead of moving directly into the Rabbi's sermon, we had kiddush. The whole cake, coffee, soda and social thing in the middle. It was really nice. Of course that meant we didn't finish till close to 2. I was invited by a family from school for lunch. We had a nice meal a bit more Sephardic in nature. It is a beautiful chapel... a round room with a glass dome for the ceiling so you can see the sky.
Tomorrow, I will again go to the same place, but for Kol Nidre next week, I will visit the old synagogue with the sand floor. It is reform, but they do the service by candlelight and it is supposed to be something really special. I will report more on it next week.
