Rosh Hashanah
Thursday, September 13, 2007
I got on the NJ transit this morning to find a massive amount of empty seats. My dear friends, Rosh Hashanah is here.
I arrived promptly at Penn Station around 730a and guess what?? Yes- you guess it right – EMPTY. I didn’t have to squeeze between people and…when I went to grab my coffee at Seattle C., I only had to walk up to the counter and not have to wait my usual 10 minutes. Sweet.
The subway + no commuters = ghost
Midtown during morning rush hour commute – yep, guess it right again. EMPTY.
But really, deep down, if this has anything to do with Jews and their new year, I call bull-crap. Rosh Hashanah doesn’t start until sundown tonight.
I think some people are really milking a two-day holiday into a three-day event. That just isn’t right. But then again, fake Jews (JAPS from the UES) and real Jews (Borough Park, Forest Hills and Kew gardens – actually I take it back, they are everywhere) take advantage of this glorious holiday why shouldn’t I - right?
Alas, I am here, at work, writing this, while EVERYONE else is at home chillin’.
L’Shana Tova – my fellow Jews L’Shana Tova !
