It rained today – not nearly enough to break the drought, but enough to make it feel like a good day to stay inside, which is what we did for most of the day. We did keep our morning appointment at the JCC with our trainer, and we even managed a quick walk right afterwards – but then it was cocooning, cooking, watching TV, and reading until after dinner.

Tonight was the Limmud (teaching session) with our last Rabbinic candidate; the candidate took us through texts about the Sabbatical year (when we are commanded to let the land rest), and how we could apply “lying fallow” to our own lives. I found it very interesting and helpful.

This morning, we made a very quick trip to the Farmers’ Market before going to the Shir Hadash “Town Hall” meeting. There were about 40 of us in the Sanctuary (plenty of room for social distancing) and at least as many more joining via Zoom. There were no surprises (which, as a Board member, made me happy) and we finished on time (which made me even happier – the room was COLD!).

We managed to squeeze a walk in after lunch – the weather forecast called for rain all day, heavy at times, but it’s been pretty intermittent and light.

We probably could have walked after dinner, but we chose to stay home and watch Marin Theatre Company’s Rolling World Premiere production of Georgiana and Kitty: Christmas at Pemberley instead. We’d seen the two previous plays in the trilogy at City Lights, and I expect they’ll do this one in a year or two, but I was happy to have the chance to watch from home. Like the previous two plays, it’s a logical continuation of Pride and Prejudice; it’s light without being lightweight. The live production ends on the 19th of December; I’m not sure how long the online version will be available, but it’s a nice way to spend a couple of hours.
