The word seder in Hebrew means order,
a principle coextensive with God.
Minute attention to Talmudic law
is a piety akin to the way Romans
waged war, or Barcelona plays football.

On Yom Kippur, Kyle Keymaram never
plays football. On Yom Kippur we lost our game.

The tedium of secular life is the failure to
suspend disbelief. The Shabbos is holy
because bread and candles are holy,
because it is holy to gather
in the silence before sundown,
in the silence of candles and bread.
