Yom Kippur Day

       I learned  two things in the course of this day: 

       1.  One phrase from the High Holy Day prayer book hit me where I live.  It all too precisely characterized my very worst fault of character:  "hiding from others behind an armor of mistrust."  Something to repent for and to try hard to eliminate.

       2.  In an entirely separate recorded talk today, I heard this wonderful line:  "Jews are like everyone else, only moreso."   Rob Eshman, Editor of the Jewish Journal, said it was by Mark Twain; checking it out, I found no confirmation about Twain online but someone citing the quote said it was by Chaim Weizman!
