Premonitions and Predictions for 2010

December 30, 2009 · Filed Under Baum's Blog 

Happy New Year!  It seems like all the hoopla Y2K was just yesterday – it’s hard to believe it was 10 years ago!

Here we are at the doorstep of another year.  Someone on our Facebook fan page commented that she gets to start over several times a year because she marks January 1 as well as the Jewish New Year, Fiscal Year, Academic Year, and her birthday.  Sounds good to me!

At Congregation Beth Adam and OurJewishCommunity.org, we have a tradition of expressing our premonitions and predictions for the new year each January.  We ask people (that’s you folks!) to predict things for the coming year, and Rabbi Barr and I seal up the predictions and read them the following year.  The one rule is that we ask you not to predict deaths.  To hear more about this, listen to our Friday night Shabbat Service webcast on 1/1/10.

So, here’s what we want you to do.  Email your predictions for the new year to me at rabbi@ourjewishcommunity.org.  Next January, I’ll read the list of predictions during our Shabbat service webcast and I’ll post the list here on my blog (all of this is anonymous).  Let’s see what we expect to have happen during the next 365 days so that we can “ah we were right!” or “oops we were way off” next year at this time (hopefully, more of the former).

So, start sending me emails – and have  a wonderful New Year!
