I love my comfortable, small, completely-equipped room here in Mid-Town.  Not spending much time there, of course; but, I have had time to observe the faith/cultural community located in my view just across the street — The Sutton Place Synagogue.  Loved watching parents with million-dollar strollers or taxis delivering their delivering their precious passengers to the nursery school where I could see through the fourth floor windows, teachers welcoming them.

Finally had a moment this morning, after reading the SJ online, to check out their website.  So many activities and services going on there.  I found this link particularly interesting:

If I were not headed out to MOMA this morning, I just might join them for Tot Shabat this Sabbath morning.  On Shabat, the school windows are all shuttered, but you can see where city children play on the rooftop in nice weather.

Shalom.
