Let's also note that Rosh Hashanah began yesterday at sundown, so Shanah Tovah!  I refer to this sort of thing as an Abrahamic Convergence...

Many thanks for mentioning my blog and I am glad you also found that lovely hymn inspiring! I am going to post something about the "Obsession" DVD and I thank you for bringing it to my attention.
