An Offer I Can't Refuse
I'm rocking the (temporarily) single parent routine, right? Juggling work, school, Tae Kwon Do and piano lessons. Trying to fit it all in. Without medication.
Like my mom would say, "Shove a broom up my arse so I can sweep as I go along."
Which brings me to Hebrew School. Every Sunday morning, my kids get dragged, kicking and screaming (like every other Jewish kid in America), to learn about the rituals and responsibilities associated with being one of the Chosen People. I use that time to run home and take a poop in peace.
Feel me?
Today I got this "friendly reminder":
Important Notice
Please join us for the First Grade Family Education Day
"Shabbat Can Be"
This Sunday
9:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon
Cantor will teach parents ways to create a Warm and Nurturing Shabbat Home Experience.
Meaningful home Jewish rituals will also be discussed.
The children will be brought in part way through the program for Art Project and to Participate....
Don't let your child be the only one without a parent present! (Become an enlightened parent so that you can more intelligently discuss these topics with your child.)
Bagels, Coffee, and Juice will be served.
Looks like this Sunday I will be enjoying complex carbohydrates while fellow parents invade my personal space to talk about meaningful rituals that don't include private poops. Of course I'll be there. Don't want mine to be the *only children without a parent present*.
Gotta love Jewish guilt.

Sounds cool. I would say it's and offer you wouldn't want to refuse, indeed. I think it will be worth your time, plus you'll learn a lot on how you can manage to do all your activities well. And yeah, don't want your children to be the *only children without a parent present*.
Good luck and hope you have fun!

ha ha ha -- I wonder if Jewish guilt is as bad as Catholic guilt :)
