Lisa's parents are visiting, and we're having a really nice time. Yesterday was Rosh Hashana, so we went to services at the Oxford Jewish Congregation, which is a very unusual and special community here in Oxford. It is a single community representing multiple religious traditions within Judaism, and on Rosh Hashana they had both a "liberal" and an orthodox service. Unsurprisingly, we went to the liberal service, which is approximately like a U.S. Reform service. We didn't require Adam and Meyer to skip school to come with us, and since they had missed some school last week because of being sick, they chose not to come to services.
But we had a nice Rosh Hashana dinner in the evening. I made a brisket and finally used the apples growing in our backyard to make some homemade applesauce, which was really good and complemented the brisket perfectly. Consistent with my (recent) tradition of failing to take any pictures of people and only taking pictures of things nobody cares about, here's some pictures of food:
L'shana Tova!
