I want to go home …
by tamarjacobson
It is that time of year again.
Rosh Hashanah.
And I want to go home.
I want to be surrounded by family large and small, wide and thin, happy and sad. I want to be enveloped with noise of laughter, shouts of young children, sunshine, the sea, and eating all together.
I cannot help it.
And I just want to say …
… I want to go home.

Hello Floral Joy,
Nope – home was far away this year. I “celebrated” the strangest Rosh Hashanah ever. Perhaps one day I will be able to write about it š
Thanks for your comment and kind words. I think I will fast this weekend … surely, it can’t hurt?
Good luck to you too if you fast as well!
Hi Tamar, I hope you did get to go home. When I was home for Rosh Hashanah, it was very different: my family is getting old and we are seeing those of us who were once tiny now have our own tiny ones. I hope you got to enjoy and good luck if you choose to fast this coming weekend. š
Thats what I thought, Tamar – but I believe my sister is working on this weekend – not at home – otherwise, indeed, why not….
Shana Tova to all
And why don’t you go home, Tamar? Not that a person can’t wish for something without doing something.
A comment on your previous post. Through a series of coincidences, I learned that dear Ronni Gill performs/ed with your son. Ronni and I go back decades to when his wife and I were Head Start buddies in Beantown. Olam katan.
Shanah tova, Tamar
Thanks for sharing your comment here, sky. Indeed, t feels good to feel good about wanting to go home and see the family!
i wish you could go. i also wish i felt the same way about going home. my experience is so different. i often dread the trip. now that my mother is gone, i really dread it. i try to focus on the excitement of seeing my sister.
