I am back. I have one revelation to discuss today. My neighbor's father died yesterday and the funeral was today. My wife had me drop a pitcher off at her house for use after the funeral. It is Jewish ritual that when one comes back from a cemetery, they wash/rinse their hands before entering the house. I had to explain the purpose of the pitcher and something dawned on me. There are numerous references in Judiasm, during many holidays and rituals, that involve the washing of hands. I am wondering if this is not a religion whose rituals are all based on OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). Just a thought.
I have to go check the stove to make sure it is not on and should really wash my hands again. Ciao.
