I had planned on mentioning it.<br />It's strange at how the same time we're losing so many Jews to to intermarriage, apathy etc, there's such growth in Jewish life for those who are attracted to it.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-46209343122742764582009-09-14T07:54:43.965+03:002009-09-14T07:54:43.965+03:00You are right.

No kids, no heshek).<br />At our house we now do at least 2 sedarim: Pesach, and Rosh Hashana, and most years Tu b'Shevat. <br />And also, what about ushpizin? There was a time when <i>Conservadox</i> Jews did not do the ushpizin ceremony on Sukkot, but now some do.<br />And at Chabad (where we daven), there is <i>no</i> charge for seats for the chagim! The way it should be.Lady-Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992305067771885711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-1423700122558861722009-09-13T06:49:26.117+03:002009-09-13T06:49:26.117+03:00I have no idea about the High Holiday "ticket...I have no idea about the High Holiday "ticket business" outside of Orthodox and other more traditional shuls.
