Still vaguely sickly
Feb. 1st, 2016 10:55 pmIt's trying hard to be an ear infection. Blech.
I dreamed I was trying to find the perfect place to ghost hunt with Melinda and had found this old abandoned house on a country road but when we went back I was wrong. there was this huge house with a school attached (like maybe a Catholic school with the parish house) and the abandoned house was actually a barn but we tried it anyhow. Melinda sits down by the barn right by a big white peacock which gets mad and spends the rest of the dream biting me. My brain....
I had some questions for my Jewish friends. Isaac Adler in my Weird West story is Jewish (of damaged faith thanks to the Civil war). I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions (that I probably could just Google...)
How long is a service on average? What time of day normally? Would it have been longer in the 1860s? (I know for example that Catholic services would have been in Latin back then, for instance)
Any idea if they would have the rest of the day free after going to Temple back then?
what are they allowed and not allowed to do on the sabbath (I know about not traveling)
could they entertain a guest who came to the house on the sabbath
Any idea if a man would sit outside with just his kippah on or would he always have a hat on over it? (he's on the porch) What I've found is 'there is much debate.' Oh well.
And if you think of anything I might easily overlook with this character, feel free to point it out.
And it's been since forever since I've done a music monday. I'm still rather sad and what I often do in those times is go back to when I was really happy. This means going WAY back to college. Let's have a little hair band music. Feel free to hit me with some of your favorites too.
(this was my class song senior year until the administration put the kibosh on it)
