Re: Hilly where have you been?

[Trudi Goodman <goobietheg...>]

If you want to be Jewish Hilly, then try it, you might just like it!!!!  You 
probably won't like it though because Jews have a "tendency" to be thinking 
and thinking and doing and doing for somebody else besides themselves!

It just strikes this cynical New Englander that she probably wants to be 
elected more than she wants to bench Shabbos beim meinem hois!

L'shanah Tovah everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A happiest and sweetest of New Years!!!!!!
