Between Rosh HaShanah (Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement, 10 days later) Jews go to a body of water, preferably one with fish, and throw bread into it. They also say a little prayer that their sins should be cast off as they cast off the bread. You can see why this is done right before Yom Kippur, a day of Judgement.
Location: Meadow Lake, Queens

After making my own Tashlich, I took those pictures of the water. Then, I was about to leave and this family came up. I was like, "great, maybe I can ask these people if I can take their picture, so it will be more 'tashlichy.'" They walked up and said to me, "do you want to take our picture?" and I realized they are one of my Shabbos hosting families. Hahahah, one of their kids recognized me from way across the park and I didn't realize it until they were right there.

Fraud in unexpected places....

My friend put up a Facebook status today, "wants to know- how long did YOU work at your job for before you were asked to commit fraud?"

She hasn't been at her job all that long. What gets better, is that when I commented that she was a therapist, what fraud is there? Well, her FB friends chimed in. Apparently, people are asked to bill more hours than they work as both therapists and tutors. Actually, that doesn't sound like much, but as I look at it, more than one person had comments fitting that description.

Who would have thought? Surely, not me!

So, let's see what else turns up, both here and on her status....
