Haven't read parts I or II? Click here to read before continuing on! I trembled as Justin pulled into the driveway. At last. Daniel burst out the doors and onto dry land without a second thought; Kevin glanced at us still in the front seats before following after him. They had the pizza. I sat still clutching my ginger beers before Justin nudged me again to get me to come inside. Reluctantly, I slunk out the vehicle and into the warm house where I hoped to bundle up and get cozy ...

Pizza in the Rain Pt. II
Check out the first part in this series here before reading! That Shabbat, I found Kevin during the oneg and asked him when would be a good time to come over that evening before heading downtown to go do whatever crazy, post-Shabbas stuff we felt like doing, especially since it was July and havdalah was excruciatingly late.

Spoilers ahead! Now I realise I haven't shared any reviews of any installments from the Veronica Speedwell mystery series. I started it after I was well ...
Existential Loneliness
This past Shabbas my rabbi shared about his experiences at a conference, and this sparked a memory of mine, one which might be worth sharing here. To contextualize, said rabbi of mine met with fellow clergy and leaders of like-minded philosophies and practices, and the hot topic which seemed to be on everyone's lips was this new concept of "existential loneliness."
