Corinne goes to Rosh Hashana services at Congregation Beth Aaron in Billings, MT. This is a Reform Temple, but it's the closest to where we could find a suitable campground. There are only 4 synagogues in all of Montana. About 50 families belong to the congregation.
During the reading of the Torah, a South African congregant talks about seeing African villagers carrying their fire with them from village to village, just like Abraham did when he was going up the mountain to sacrifice Isaac.
The Rabbi is a student who is doing a year Rabbinic internship at this synagogue. She does a very good job.
GPS "Gina" says "Left Honking Road" for "Left on King Road". We get a good laugh out of that.
It is 92 degrees today. Bob goes to a park and uses the day to plan the rest of our trip.
In the late afternoon Bob meets Corinne and a half dozen members of the synagogue at a local bridge over a creek to do the Tashlich service. Rabbi Karen leads us in some responsive readings and we throw some old bread into the water to symbolize throwing our sins away and being cleansed of them.
