Steve & Paul, A couple of years ago in her first High Holidays sermon, the new Assistant Rabbi delivered a sermon AGAINST photography... something like 'You need to live in the moment and just have your own memories.' We have not spoken since, and when we do I think I should unload on her. How ignorant!
My old friend the Rabbi from 2 congregations ago, is an avid photographer who enjoyed taking pictures of his family. The current Rabbi doesn't allow picture taking during the service, although I think that I remember a camcorder or two at past Bar/Bat Mitzvah services. Regards, Bob S.

My daughters first holy communion was weekend before last, (wife is catholic, I`m protestant, good thing we don`t live in Ireland), and the rules were no cameras, I`m still fuming!
