Happy New Year…the calendar edition
Update: I don’t know how to get the pictures to work, so I’m changing them to links…I’ve also updated a bit of information.
Yesterday was a banner day, we received three calendars because of donations to various organizations, and the week before we received one from a store at the shuk where we buy our salads.
This one is from “Kupat HaIr.” It is a very technical calendar listing the times for candle lighting on Shabbat and Holidays, the latest time at which you can say the morning prayers. We gave them donations in the name of a specific person…this isn’t an organization I would normally give my money to.
Merkaz HaRav yeshiva got our donation after the tragedy that happened to their students. I have a friend whose son is studying there, so it was particularly close to home.
This one was the prettiest calendar. It is from the Community of Hebron. This one will probably be hung up in our home.
And finally, the shuk calendar. It isn’t the stand we normally go to–and their coleslaw had too much mayo for my taste, but it is a nice magnetic calendar.
Happy New Year, and may this one be filled with happiness and health.
I did not get a single calendar this year! This is the first time thats happened to me and now I have no idea when Shabbat starts, when the fast was over etc.
