Yesterday I took a trip to Philadelphia. I met up with a friend at the shul I have attended in the past down there. It has been quite some time since I made this trek(it takes over 2 hours each way).
The drive was well worth it.
My soul needed the experience.
It's not a journey I can or plan to make very often.
Eventually I will set out to find an experience like this locally.
With everything else that is on my plate lately, this is just not a priority for me.
I am sure that at some point it will be.
My friend who met me,lives in Philadelphia,not far from the temple. 
We have been talking about meeting up there for 2 years. 
I think she was she was glad that we finally did. 
I can't equate what she may have experienced compared to what I experience. 
I can tell you she was visibly moved by it.
There was an energy that was palpable.
The gift I took away was that I was able to share something special with some one special.
I still have a desire to do that here in my community. That would be amazing.
I am not exactly sure how to do that  and as I said, right now I have too many other things occupying my time. 
However, there will come a day .....

Shavua Tov!
