how may i help you?
Today put on my best pinch-hitter hat and I helped out in our shul office for a couple of hours, mainly answering phones. And damned if I didn't almost-say "Hello! Young Israel of Cornell - how may I help you?" when I picked up the phone. Every. Single. Time. But only almost. I'm sure it would have been very confusing for the guy calling about minyanim in the greater Boston area to have gotten the impression that he had dialed upstate New York instead.

Well, (607) vs. (617)--it's an easy mistake to make.

That must explain why I get so confused when I get calls from Binghamton about donating money to the "Binghamton Foundation"/hillel/etc. And then just don't ask me to give my 10 digit phone number to anyone for a week!
