hospitable conditions
It's amazing how many people come out of the woodwork to call you when you put out a request on the shul's website saying that you don't have a sukkah and would like to be invited out for meals. I felt terrible turning people down once we got "filled up" for in-sukkah yom tov and Shabbat meals, particularly since everyone who called was someone we'd love to spend more time with. I'm not banking on it, but it would be really nifty if those who can't have us over duriing the holiday decided to invite us over some other time. Because, you know, we're not bad people, we like making new friends, and we'd be more than happy to reciprocate. One can hope...
BS"D
So would we! It does mean, of course, that you'd have to visit the Wild Wet Canadian West Coast!
Have a tzom kal & g'mar chatimah tovah to you & Julian!
I guess I daven at the wrong shul ;)
but we had guests every meal of yom tov anyway - one of whom called last minute, one of whom was offered on yom tov itself. Am I glad I cooked too much!
