Tamar,

I appreciate the information. Even though I grew up with quite a few Jews, this was something that I did not know. Still, it makes me realize how much more alike we all are than different, even in our faiths.

I tried to post to post to you on the calendar issue (the relationship between the Jewish calendar and the date of Easter), but the UT must've "hiccuped" and it did get through. Just another point about our shared heritage.< s >
