Today, starting at sundown, Jews worldwide will celebrate Rosh Hashanah. It is considered the birthday of the universe, and who am I to argue? This holiday will continue for two days. It includes the repeated sounding of the shofar, or ram's horn, following a reading of the Torah in the morning. It also involves a lot of food.
Now the shofar is actually pretty badass.
But the dungchen, played by Tibetan Buddhists, is even more badass.
To my Jewish friends, "Shana tova!"

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
You have friends? When did this happen?
