L'shana tovah y'all from Morocco!

My first Rosh Hashanah in Morocco!  The closest synagogue is in Fes which is about 40 miles from Ifrane.  Since I have no connection to the Jewish community there and no transportation, I am spending the holiday at work and home.  I have not quite figured out how to be Jewish in Morocco yet.  Right now I'm just trying to adjust to a new job and a totally new life as an American ex-pat in Morocco - being able to emerse myself in work has help.  Also, interaction with 60 students makes feeling alone or isolated impossible.  I am amazed everyday how easy it is to connect with people here, especially my students.  Once you cease to see the "other" in people and see the common humanity that we all share, it can be a transformative experience.  Well, I'm tired.  As a Rosh Hashanah treat for myself tonight, I will get 8 hours sleep tonight. L'shana tovah, y'all!!!
