Pets. They drool, shed and, from time to time, they toss up a hairball or oopsie on the carpeting. They track in mud, snow, leaves and sand. They dig deep holes by our favorite bushes and roll around in the dirt. Some skitter around in their cages at night, keeping us awake, others slither around, sticking out forked tongues at us. Ah, but we love them.

And on Tuesday, this week, Rabbi Gadi will bless them. Not in Andrew Levin Park, as in days gone by — enough of that chaos. Now we invite you to bring your pets on Zoom, where we can admire them, ooh and aah over them, and not need to keep them from running amok.

So Zoom at noon this Tuesday, October 22, and bring your pals, the ones who bark and meow, the scary ones who slither, and the pesky ones who party at night. We love them. Bless them.

It’s a fun time. Join us, even if your pet-owning days are done.
