@dorbitz JimL, thank you!! This is the solemn, introspective holiday -- but we're very happy now as we've had dinner after fasting since after dinner yesterday (service started at 6:15pm last night, so it was for about 25 hours).
Although there is much due to the pandemic that has made us unhappy & scared, there are silver linings. Our daughter lives in Virginia, while we're up in NJ. We've been enjoying Friday evening services with her via Zoom and since July, she has been leading the service (and I've been helping). Last week, we "joined" her for the two days of Rosh Hashanah services over Zoom. Prior to the pandemic, we'd already semi-planned to come down to Virginia for Yom Kippur. So we are in Virginia right now. It was fun doing the service with Kate, in her family room, joining her synagogue community via Zoom. We head back home tomorrow.
