SHANAH TOVAH 5772 FROM THE INDIAN COUNTRY

I am waiting for the sun to go down so that I can light the candles and welcome 5772..
My family is not with me on this special night: they are celebrating in vaious ways in Portland Quiberon Paris Miami
so I decided to drop in on my Indian family, when I arrived there they were preparing for a ceremony. It would be symbolic for me... My jewish family is celebrating Jewis New Year and my Indian family is celebrating enacting an ancient ceremony.
so L Shanah Tova to all my Friends, near and Far..
I would like to remember, two friends and mentors who are not with us any more: Dr Cecil Helman, CapeTown and London and Dr Joel Glaser, Miami.
