It's amazing (and annoying) . . .

. . . how much easier it is to wake up early on a bright June morning than on a still-pitch-black morning in January. Sigh. Most employers don't particularly care that you have to add the Yaaleh v'Yavo prayer, the Hallel psalms, and the Musaf Amidah additional prayer to your Shacharit (Morning Service) on Rosh Chodesh (Beginning of a Month). They still expect you to get to work on time.

June or not, I'm still yawning. That extra-early wake-up time is a killer.

Chodesh Tov, (Have a) Good Month!
