Shana Tova -- A Good Year. Shana Tova u'metukhah tikvateinu. A good and sweet year. That goes out to all the tribe of Israel. Even to those who say they just learned of their Jewish heritage. Yes, George Allen -- I can wish you a good year. I just hope and pray that it doesn't include your reelection. I can't help thinking that if Webb beats Allen, that would be a pretty good fresh start to the year. It's been a rough year in Israel, and here. We could use some fresh hope.

I'll be taking a break from blogging during the Jewish New Year holiday this weekend. See ya'll next week -- when I can get started on getting another 500 visitors to The Fisch Fry.
