Actually, I'm going to the Olympics, but there is no cute-rhyme-y way to say that. I just got an email from my-friend-the-Vancouver-rabbi about the first Shabbat services in the "Multi-Faith Centre" ... athletes stopped by to say hello (they haven't even all arrived yet), but none stayed, although several chaplains of other faiths experienced Shabbat with the rabbi. The rabbi's advice from this past Shabbat? Be flexible and open-minded ... you don't know what will happen. : )
I am excited ... I'm not sure we will have any actual congregants while we are there, but I know it will be a fascinating experience simply being in the Olympic Village!
Now, I guess it really is time to find some warm clothes and shoes ... I leave in a week! : )
