Technically it isn&#8217;t Rosh Hashana yet\u2014it&#8217;s the eve of the eve\u2014but her class only meets once a week, so: close enough. Since I was in San Jose this afternoon for business, she invited me to come by afterward and do a Kaddish for the year 5771 with her at the start of the evening class.<\/p>\n<p>Mira introduced the Kaddish prayer and traditions, and then she read from her siddur while I played Kogan&#8217;s &#8220;Kaddish.&#8221;\u00a0I&#8217;m not sure if anyone else hears a difference, but for me anyway, this piece seems to work a lot better when I have a live audience.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, I spoke a bit about the music and my history with the piece. Then we fielded questions and broke challah together and ate it with honey and dates in hopes of a sweet new year 5772.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t help thinking that 5772 has got to be a sweeter year than 5771 has been for me and most of my near and dear, but it feels like bad luck to say such a thing out loud. What horrors 5772 could bring if we were to tempt it with such talk!
