gilanaArghh. I ordered tickets to the Kris Delmhorst cd release at the Somerville Theater weeks ago. I've really looking forward to the show; Peter Mulvey is playing with her, and they're my two favorite local musicians.
I just looked at my calendar and realized that it's the same night as Simchat Torah. I've been going to Tremont Street shul semi-regularly now, and they have the biggest bash in Boston for Simchat Torah, closing down the whole street and filling it with people singing and dancing with the Torah. I've been in past years and was a little overwhelmed because I didn't know anyone; I'd been looking forward to going this year now that I'm more comfortable there, and hopefully even getting to dance with a Torah. I don't see any way I can do both that night. I can go the next morning and still fulfill the mitzvah, but it's not really the same.
So do I go to the concert and feel like a bad Jew, or go to shul and miss a show I really want to go to (plus bail on friends on an outing I organized)? I'm leaning toward going to the concert, but I'm bummed either way. Sigh.
