T he first call came when I was driving home from my teaching job. When her name appeared on caller ID I thought it was odd for her to call. She was an old friend from high school part of the same chevreh but you know how chevrehs are you’re close with two or three and hang out with the rest. She was part of the rest and now we mostly keep up through the group’s WhatsApp chat.
I answered. We chatted. It seemed like an aimless call and I wondered when she’d get to the point. The conversation naturally wound down and she said “It was great talking to you have a kesivah v’chasimah tovah!”
Oh so that’s what it was: a pre-Rosh Hashanah phone call. I hadn’t realized people my age did them. Those calls are for mothers and grandmothers aunts and mature people. But then I got another call from another person in my high-school chevreh.
So people my age did them. Just not me.
