It's a brisk fall evening on Kingston Avenue in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, a thoroughfare lined with kosher bakeries and restaurants. Tough it is almost midnight, many stores are still open and several blocks have been cordoned off by the police. I am in a crowd of hundreds of women angling for a glimpse of the revelers before us: A sea of men in black and white, most wearing wide-brimmed hats, spinning, beads of sweat dripping from their beards as they match the frenetic pace of the music pumping from a stage in the street. I can't help but cheer a little. The joy is infectious.

As some of you may know, this week is a big week for us Children of Abraham. It’s Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur, our big holidays, when even if you don’t do another Jewish thing all year, you gotta do this.

I guess as you get older, you don’t mind so much – either because you like the ritual or because you’re getting close to your “Use By” date and you want to have all the bases covered.
