My dear Friends
The Sabbath is falling and I am waiting to join some of the Jewish students for Kabbalat Shabbat, the beginning of the Sabbath. While I was in Toronto, I nearly joined a group of Indian Jews from Bombay for the Jewish New year, did not get there becuase I was ill, but for sure will one day.
As I write, I am sitting beside a very nice lady from India in one of the local libraries-she has admired my shirt, which I bought in Toronto in a beautiful Indian shop, where the family who owned it befriended me. So-having also met some Indian Catholics from Kochin, where the Jews lived for thousands of years, I decided to learn anIndian language-start with Hindi, I decided!
Of course Hindi and most of the Indo-European languages derive from their 'Mother' language which is Sanskrit. Like Hebrew, it comes to life when it is chanted, and the script, used in Hindi is fascinating.
I am in a completely new world, and living every minute of it!
More later
Shabbat Shalom

I so admire you always wanting to learn somrthing new. Barbara
Good to have you back on board. Hindi is certainly easier than Polish.
Hope all is well.
Love and Shalom
