Last night we went to a synagogue to meet with the Rabbi and talk about our up coming simcha (celebration) in November. Our son is getting married to someone who is not of the Jewish faith and the Rabbi is performing an inter-faith ceremony. I have not been in that particular Temple for many years and as soon as I stepped into the front door the memories began to flood my mind. My husband and I were married in that same Temple 38 years ago. We entered the same Chapel where the ceremony was performed and it seemed to me so so long ago when we stood at that alter to share our vows.
The particular Rabbi that performed our ceremony has long since passed away but the halls still carried his spirit of his kindness and good will everywhere. We walked into the larger sanctuary where the larger crowds gather for the holidays and big events and at once could not feel the over whelming feeling of greatness among those ominous concrete walls surrounding us.
This Temple is not as close as the one we usually attend but I am thinking maybe we will make more of an effort to take the drive downtown more often. It was an experience I would like to repeat and soon.
