This is my Tribe.  It’s not my “Jewish” Tribe – in fact, most of them are not Jewish!  It’s the Tribe of women with whom I have been exercising with every morning, usually at 8:15 am, the women who push me to work harder, who encourage me when I’m not feeling strong, who partner with me even though I am definitely not going to help their time.  We are all so different, yet we share this common bond.  This is the Tribe that I had over for Shabbat dinner.  In Judaism, Hachnasat Orchim, or Welcoming Guests, is a mitzvah that began when Abraham opened up his tent wandering strangers.  I love to open up my home to guests, feeding them delicious food, plentiful wine and warm company.  It was especially fun to share my homemade challah with 10 terrific, fun, fabulous women – which everyone ate, despite our current “weight loss challenge”.  What a fun night!
