I could pretty much summarize it as eat, shul, eat, shul, eat, shul eat....:)

( Three Day YomTov )

Next holiday is Yom Kippur, which is this coming Shabbat. And then...more holidays. Just not quite so intense as R"H and Y"K.

The holidays totally snuck up on me - they're very early this year plus this was a fairly eventful summer.

So. Rosh HaShanah (as well as Sukkot and Shemini Atzert/Simchat Torah) all abut Shabbat this year, making them three-day holidays. That means planning for six meals.

( Guest Lists/Menus )

Right now - I bought everything pretty much everything but the fresh fruit, the kugels and the desserts. I have the soup and the fish cooking. The turkey is defrosting. I'm doing pretty much all the real cooking on Wednesday - the stuffing, the beef stew, the turkey, the noodles for the soup and the carrots.

I'm taking October off from work, as I just told my employers. This is not a vacation - it's the Jewish holidays, which anyone can tell you are *not* restful, and can be very, very intense.

And this year they fall Tuesday/Wednesday, except for Yom Kippur, which falls on a Thursday.

I work Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday. And I'm not working erev yom tov (except erev Y"K, because we close early anyway.) So, I'm off the first, third and fourth weeks of the month. We're closed on R"H anyway, which helps. It's going to be so weird coming back after the holidays are over.
