Join us as we prepare for High Holy Days of 5769 with Selichot. The
month of Elul is a time of contemplation of the year past and doing the
work of
repentance. Selichot is an important step in this process: the prayers
of forgiveness. Central to the Selichot service is the prayer listing
God's thirteen attributes of mercy.

Back in 1889, Sid and Leah's bull took sick and died, so they needed to
go to the auction to buy a new one. Sid couldn't leave the farm because
he was busy starting a farming equipment business, so Leah took the
train to the city to buy a bull. If she was successful, she would take
the train back to the farm, then she and Sid would borrow their
neighbor's wagon to go to town and pick up their newly purchased bull.
The bidding was furious at the livestock auction, and Leah found
herself bidding on the last remaining bull. It took everything she had
but ten cents; but she was finally the successful bidder.
Unfortunately, the train home was fifty cents.
"Please, Mr. Conductor, couldn't you make an exception just once?"
pleaded Leah.
"Sorry lady," he replied, "but you can send your husband a telegram to
tell him your problem. The office is just down the street."
At the Telegraph office, Leah asked, "Mister, how many vords can I send
to mine husband for a dime?"
"It's ten cents a word," the clerk answered.
Leah pondered her dilemma, then finally said, "OK, here's mine message:
"COMFORTABLE."
