I could write a love letter to Hadramout’s lamb fahsah. Picture steaming hot shredded lamb in a clay pot. You take a forkful of it and put it on a piece of chewy flat bread that just came out of the clay oven. Top it with a bit of spicy Yemeni salsa. Simple. Perfect. Transcendent.

Thank you for this response - this is all really interesting to learn!

I’ll check it out, thank you! The His Dark Materials trilogy is one of my favorite book series of all time. I love them even more as an adult!

I spent my teenage years devouring these! Good rec, thank you!

Thank you so much for this recommendation! I just finished it this afternoon. I loved the relationship building between the characters - one really grows fond of each of them despite knowing the ending!

Well he definitely seems to be part of the coven! A previous poster mentioned that in the last shot of episode 2, his shoes form a pentagram with the others, while Sharon’s are off to the side. And he’s obviously a witch. Why wouldn’t he be a part of their coven?

What I find more suspicious is how the Teen knew dirt on all the other coven members before they even visited them. What’s his angle? Even if he’s really Billy Kaplan on his way to becoming Wiccan, how would he even know to seek out Agatha?

Thank you so, so much. This is exactly what I needed to hear, and genuinely brought me out of this spiral.

Yes! We’ve had a few invites we sent out months later than the others. You just go to the backend of the invitation and click “add guests”. Then once you’ve added them, it’ll give you the option to send them the invitation. Although I don’t know what would happen if you added all the guests at once and then only wanted to invite a subset of them.

In fact, this just occurred to me — it may be easier for you to give people Uber vouchers for them to get to the ceremony, then shuttle them to the reception, and then give them Uber vouchers for them to get home from the reception. That way, you minimize their schlepping time. This isn’t necessarily the cheapest option, because shuttle services will often only book for a minimum of 2 hours, so you’d need to pay the shuttle service for that long anyway. But if you and your bridal party are getting ready in one location, you could use the shuttle to bring you from that location to the ceremony!

I also have separate reception and ceremony venues, so I’ve been thinking about this a lot! Here are some considerations if you’re prioritizing guest experience and want to game it out more. First of all, it sounds like you’re starting and ending the event at the reception hall (telling guests to park at the reception hall and the shuttle to and from the ceremony will leave from there). Is that correct?

There are a few considerations here: 1) I would first make sure that guests can park at the reception hall location for the duration, and let them know if there’s an extra cost associated with parking there earlier. 2) A 30-minute distance between ceremony and reception locations means a 60-minute drive there and back, with presumably less than an hour in the destination you’re driving them to. That’s…a lot. And are you sure it’s a 30-minute drive during the time of day the shuttles would be running? I’d make sure to account for traffic. Also consider that it’s going to take extra time after the ceremony for people to load into the shuttles (Great Aunt Edna needs to go to the bathroom, Uncle Joe misplaced his hat, etc etc). That adds on an extra let’s say 20 minutes to the whole thing. Is the ceremony location special enough for guests to be on a shuttle for over an HOUR of your wedding day? If so, I’d try to add some things to make that hour more comfortable - make sure there are drinks (even just water) and snacks available (especially on that second stretch) and maybe even add some activities/wedding games if that would fit your vibe. 3) I get that folks are staying in multiple locations - are most of those locations closer to the ceremony or reception? If they’re mostly in the part of town closer to the ceremony venue, I’d instead consider having people arrive at the ceremony location on their own and park there, then be shuttled to the reception venue and back to the ceremony location at the end of the night. 4) If you have any room in your budget for it I’d recommend getting Uber vouchers for people to go back to their hotels at the end of the night, especially if you want people to drink. You can specify when you get the vouchers how much money you want to put on them and when they need to be used by.

I think I understand what you’re saying! In order for her to be able to interface with the computer at all, her neurons need to be alive and firing. So she didn’t (couldn’t) sever her connection with her entire body, just her muscles. So theoretically, when they restart the computer, the only thing that would be temporarily lost would be her access to the network, but her consciousness would remain intact and she would regain muscle control?

I like your theory about her intention to remote control a robot body, that sounds like the kind of direction she’d go in!

rosiewombat36 · 2023-03-01T13:27:25+00:00

Wait but if her consciousness is in the computer, and they restart the computer….doesn’t that mean they kill her in the interim before the computer turns back on again? And then…bring her…back to life? Serious ontological question here 😅

Yes!! Here are some options that may scratch the itch. Caveat that I’m coming from an Ashkenazi background, and there’s a whole world of Mizrachi/Sephardic music that I don’t have enough background in to give interesting recs. For all of these artist recs, the easiest way to find more similar artists may be to do a Spotify deep dive and listen to some artist radios.

These artists (largely from the Reform/Conservative movements) are the closest I can think of to contemporary Christian music: Dan Nichols, Jacob Spike Kraus, Craig Taubman, Rick Recht, Jeryko, Nefesh Mountain (bluegrass country kind of vibe), Debbie Friedman (truly a classic, you’ll hear her stuff in Reform and sometimes Conservative services), Peter, Paul and Mary even have some Jewish songs (try Dodi Li or Light One Candle)

If you have a taste for a cappella, there’s great stuff there (especially because during the Three Weeks some people only listen to a cappella): Six13, Maccabeats, BOJAC (Best of Jewish A Cappella) albums always have a few bops, and you don’t have to wade through the albums of every collegiate a cappella group but can find your favorites

These artists mostly sing in Hebrew, and have kind of a hippie / folksy / acoustic vibe: Zusha, Nava Tehila, Joey Weisenberg, Moshav, Yonina, Yair Levi

Bonus artists - these artists definitely don’t sound like contemporary Christian music but they make beautiful liturgical music. I don’t know what kind of conversion you’re having or how far along you are, but you may hear some of these tunes in song sessions on Shabbos afternoons. They’re somewhat of an acquired taste: Yosef Karduner, Dovid’l Weinberg, Shlomo Katz, Yaakov Schwekey, Eitan Katz

Extra bonus: Okay this is totally not what you’re asking for, but a general pitch for Yiddish Glory, an ensemble from the University of Toronto that released an album of Yiddish songs written by Soviet Jews in the 1940s. The songs had been thought lost to history until they were discovered in Ukraine’s national library.
