Biweekly Journal Entry

[madeline miller]

I recently attended Shabbat services at a local Richmond synagogue, where I was able to confidently recite prayers and songs that I had forgotten over the years. I was able to help my friends follow along in our prayer books, as I felt more confident than I previously did in services and was better able to read and translate the Hebrew text. I flipped throughout the book during the service to test my knowledge, and was able to directly experience my progress in the language while doing so.
