i'm up late

i found a synagogue more or less local to me
that has a woman rabbi
but
it will be a pain to drive to
and
it's serious suburbs

whereas
there are a bunch near me
in fact
one is closer than the whole foods
but
that guy looks like a used car salesman in his picture
and they are meeting at the methodist church while they're building
and
i don't know

i just feel like i should try again

and the place i went before
they are all organized and web friendly
i could take their class and get my piece of paper, or whatever
so i could be legit
although
i guess it depends
on how legit you wanna get

i was trying to warm up to the idea of conservative
but i was listening to recordings on their website
and
their affiliate school was in the baseball finals
and the rabbi was saying
he supported the school not letting them play
because some things are just too important
[even though they knew that would be an issue
if they were good enough to get to the end
which apparently they didn't think they would be]

and
that's when i realized
i could never be conservative
because i was horrified


surely it's like a special mitzvah to play baseball
and anyway
how often do you make it to the finals
i mean they just forfeited the game
so they ruined it for their kids
but they ruined it for the other kids too
and reinforced
for everyone
that jews are bad sports

that's some crap
i want no part of that
