Although we are devout (dare I say frum?) home-shulers, I can’t imagine not being a member of our local synagogue. So today – let’s hear it for the shul!
Homeshuler’s Top 10 Reasons to Join a Shul
10. Your mother wants you to. (Isn’t that a good enough reason?)
9. A great place to meet other Jewish families to home-shul with.
8. Kiddush. There really is such a thing as a free lunch.
7. Someday you, or someone you love, may want to be buried in their cemetery (sorry, but it’s true.)
6. A community of people to care for you when you are in need.
5. Your rabbi is probably a really nice man/woman. (Does that count as a reason?)
4. You might actually learn something. It’s hard to home-shul without a little knowledge.
3. What, you’re not going to have a bar/bat-mitzvah someday?
2. See # 10.
And the number one reason:
1. It’s not going to get any better without you.
Got any more? (And did you catch my 2 references to 80′s music?)
We should do that at CBI.
Do what?
OK, got the first reference (title – nice, but were those Romantics sporting Jew-fros)?), but cannot find #2. Do tell!
Never mind – I found it! Guess it was better than saying: let’s hear it for the goys…! Eesh.
Good for you. Let’s hope this conversation doesn’t cause one or more of those songs to run through your head all day.
