Stuck in NY
And Taylor Swift is not helping.
I was supposed to be in Toronto for Shabbos, as scholar-in-residence at a shul. I just arrived in New York but I didn't realize that I need a permit to get into Canada, even though I am British. I applied online, but meanwhile I missed my flight. And even if my permit comes through, all the flights are booked because Taylor Swift is performing in Toronto. Yes, I know that I can get there by car or bus, but there’s no point setting out without getting my entry permit.
So, it looks like I am stuck in the US. If your shul is interested in having me as scholar-in-residence at short notice, please be in touch ASAP! You can email me at zoorabbi@zootorah.com.
Come to Lakewood.
I see at least three flights leaving tonight from
EWR or LGA with availability. And if you’re talking about that digital permit thing, it’s annoying, but it normally comes in relatively quickly.
