...I mean, Yom Kippur.

But no, it's nearly upon us. And in keeping with the tradition of the day and its intent that means I'm making both an open call to anyone who would like an apology for any way I may have offended them during the past year but also I'm asking for advice from those who I haven't offended as to which charitable organization I should make a donation to. I have good local, national and international charities in mind but I'd like to add a little to the mix this year. Does anyone know a good one for Canadian Forces personnel? Or have something new and dear to them?

Anyways, it's all good for today. For the next, oh, 36 hours or so I'm religiously mandated to be as little of a jerk as is possible.
 
I'm fond of the Humane Society. or Polar Bears International.

But I think what you're looking for is more along the lines of herofund.ca  They help the families of military personnel.

Cheers for that.

Mmm, and this year I'm going the full five steps. Come sundown no food or drink, no shoes, no sex, no washing and no perfumes for 25 hours. I'm going to be one stinky, frustrated, barefooted Chosen person at that.

G'mar Hatimah Tovah.

L'Shana Tovah.

Cheers although most of that is over my head. You want to throw in a Yid Army  shout out for my boys at White Hart though that'd be decent of you.

You're much more committed than I am. Also, remember, no jewellery or anything fancy like that.

What? But without my multiple thick gold chains how will I pity the fools?

I'll throw my hat into the ring, as I am looking for sponsors for my half-marathon run in support of the United Way!

Totally up to you.  The other charities mentioned in this discussion are equally worthy.

And, best wishes to you and everyone who celebrates!

Goodness, charming, at times crotchety, and incredibly virile, too.

By the way, you're not married, are you.
 
On a more serious note, if I may make a suggestion for charitable donations, I would recommend the Parkinson Society Canada.  They're at http://www.parkinson.ca/site/c.kgLNIWODKpF/b.5842619/k.C7EB/Welcome/apps/s/custom.asp

Not intending to be a buzz kill, but my father suffers from Parkinson disease.  As it has progressed, my dad has quite literally become a shell of his former self.  There's lots of worthy causes out there, but I would love to think that someday Parkinson disease will be something we no longer have to think about.

Of course not. That's why no sex counts as a sacrifice.

Hey-yo!

But seriously, no, the no washing thing has landed me in quarantine according to my decidedly un-chosen person better half.
 
I really believe in the work that Sick Kids Hospital does, not only in treatment but also as a leading researcher of children's diseases.

I'd like an apology for you not agreeing with all of my posts.

Does it work that way?  :) I've got a hebrew first name, so that counts for something right? "exalted by god" is my name.
