Chapter 82: The Trivia Before the Appeal (Ask for a First Order, Woo Woo)

Two days before the trial was the traditional Jewish New Year, and in order to make Kamazepin more comfortable in the face of a whole court of Jews (Kamacipin had complained many times that "I have never seen as many Jews in my life as in this case, and I feel like I'm in Jerusalem every time the court is held"), the old rabbi personally extended a cordial invitation to him to experience the pure Jewish New Year and the hospitality of the Jewish community, and Kamasipin also wanted to take the opportunity to make friends with legends in the community - and maybe even get some clients for himself.

So Kamaxiping took the whole family and appeared in the small courtyard covered with grapes on the ceiling.

It's already September, and bunches of green grapes have begun to hang on the trellises, and it is said that the grapes of the Mizrasi Rabi family are sweet and delicious, and they are shared with their neighbors after harvesting every year, which is a gift that everyone loves.

But Edward always felt that this was the old rabbi picking on the door, and he was reluctant to spend money on gifts, so he used his own agricultural products instead of fooling them, and the giver because this was the heart of the community rabbis, even if this thing was as sour as vinegar, he had to praise a few words against his will, and over time the reputation probably spread out like this.

There are even people from other communities who come to beg for it, and when they find that the taste is not right, they are embarrassed to say it, otherwise it will not prove that they have a hole in their brains and listen to the wind or rain, of course, it may also be to take the opportunity to talk to the famous Mizrasi Rabi, after having the first common topic, it is much more convenient to talk about business.

So one pretended not to know about the grape sour, and the other pretended not to know about the other to know the grape sour, and in the process of giving a gracious and peaceful gift, the relationship between the rabbi and his followers and customers became closer.

Rosh Hashanah is the first day of the seventh month of the Christian calendar and the first month of the civil calendar, and it is a new year shared by both humans and animals.

The tenth day after the New Year is the most important festival in Judaism, Yom Kippur.

Since the Hebrew calendar is a lunisolar calendar and the Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar, the days of the festival vary from year to year, but generally in early to mid-September.

New Year's Day is a religious holiday, and it's also the busiest time for Itezka Mizrasi Rabi, who greets his faithful in the church early in the morning.

In the backyard of the church, the priests blew the Shof three times, and the people prayed three times.

The Shawf was made of spiral-shaped horns, a full two and a half feet long, and its whimpering, low, horn sound like an old woman's exhausted cry, expressing both fear and faith in God.

Edward muttered that almost all religions like to use the horns of herbivores as trumpets, especially cows and sheep, and he doesn't know what they have done in their previous lives, and can offend all religions......

The morning was spent in solemn and solemn prayers, and at noon everyone had a hasty lunch.

After a short rest, the old rabbi and the believers stood in the courtyard, turned on the faucet, and let the water flow into the sewer, and in a deep voice, Rabbi Mizrasi recited a verse from the book of Micah, "Cast all our sins into the deep sea", shook the edge of the garment three times, and then threw the bread crumbs into the running water.

The implication of this ritual is that sins are like dust on clothes, so shake them off.

But a person who attends the ritual is not a little religious, and he wonders if sin can be removed by shaking, then can it be likened to urine? Every male is born with the instinct to shake it off.

As for the bread crumbs, it is the embodiment of sin, and throwing it into the flowing water means abandoning the sin and becoming pure.

Then the old rabbi lit a bonfire, and many devout believers who thought that shaking their clothes could no longer remove their sins would write down the sins of the past year on paper and throw them into the fire to express their complete freedom from their sins.

Edward noticed a few well-dressed people of the upper class, who threw not pieces of paper into the fire, but an exercise book.

The flames rolled up with a sting, reflecting their faces, and their faces were filled with excitement and lightness, which meant that this year's affairs were written off, and next year they could devote themselves to the heavy "work" without any psychological burden.

Edward sighed, at this moment he felt that having a faith did not seem to be a bad thing, at least it was more effective than a psychiatrist, and he could find peace and tranquility in his heart without having to eat any strange chemicals.

Mr. Ma said well, "religion is opium", which has the effect of anesthesia and pain relief.

It's a pity that he is a time-traveler, and the compulsory education he received in his previous life, as well as his interest in reading the black history of various religions, have made atheism firmly engraved in his bones.

This made him really unacceptable to Abraham's godlines.

For example, in the New Year, as Chinese people know, the Spring Festival is the opportunity to drive away the beasts at the end of the year, and the big families get together to be lively, set off firecrackers, eat, drink, have fun, and save enough fat and physical strength to cope with the cold winter and spring ploughing in the coming year.

In the 9.6 million square kilometers and even the entire radiation area of the Chinese civilization in East Asia, the way everyone celebrates the Lunar New Year may be different, but the atmosphere is happy and peaceful.

But the Jewish New Year is nonsense, the essence of this holiday is to commemorate God's creation of the heavens and the earth - this is a matter of course, but there is another thing that is more evil - for Abraham to sacrifice to God with his own son Isaac.

According to the Bible, Abraham had a son named Ishmael at the age of 85, and then the old gentleman continued to work hard and had a son named Isaac with his 90-year-old wife at the age of 100.

After that, the eldest son left the family.

One day, God told Abraham that he had offered his only son, Isaac, in the form of a burnt offering.

Burnt offerings were extremely cruel and demanded that the sacrificial animals be killed, their blood sprinkled around the altar, then skinned and fleshed, and finally burned to ashes.

Abraham decided to do as he was instructed because of his piety, and of course, at the moment when he was about to go under the knife, suddenly God said, "I'm just testing you, don't take it seriously."

Let the descendants of an agrarian nation that has lasted for thousands of years accept this kind of teaching, Edward thinks that his kung fu is not yet home, and the white skin and yellow heart are estimated to be going through this life, although he has no good feelings, but he still has to endure it.

In addition, Abraham has a nephew who lives in the city of Sodom, yes, it is the righteous Rod, and he is also tested quite differently, exchanging his two daughters for the angel who is going to be anused by the in the city.

This thing is actually more nonsense,, of course, I think that Sanbian is not as good as a round, and finally have a chance to spend the New Year, how can I give up because of two women? In the old Chinese saying, this is a typical temple gate carrying a pig's head......

"NND, no wonder this group of whiteskins burned and looted while acting as good people, and the role change was free, and there was no psychological burden at all, so it turned out to be like this. Hey, atheism is miserable, I can't do anything in my heart, will I have a split personality if I continue like this? ”

Edward was not interested in this, but had a kind of ridicule and impatience with feudal superstition, but now that he was working for his grandfather, he could only follow it, at least his face had to be solemn.

Touching the black melon skin hat on his head, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "This hat is not bad, I really should send a few to Kabamazepin, the area is not large enough to cover the top of the head, it can be called a bald companion ......"

However, before the solemn and mysterious religious ceremony, there was a sudden touch in my heart: "Is it a sin for me to defend Sheldon like this?" Why is my conscience always a little bit hard to pass? If Sheldon succeeds in exonerating himself, won't Alice Cones die in vain? ”

The thought gradually expanded, eventually taking over all of his mind.

"I've been under so much pressure lately!" He shook his head, "My mind is starting to get confused, thinking about these things that I don't have." Isn't a lawyer just a person who receives money to do things and provide services? It is important to comply with the contract and professional ethics, and as for ethics, for lawyers, it is a negative emotion. ”

Yes, the burden on his shoulders is too heavy.

He had to win, and it was no longer a deal between him and his grandfather, but a matter of where Sheldon would go on in life.

If the Court of Appeals upholds the original verdict, Sheldon will only be able to testify, and it is almost impossible to receive a lighter sentence as punishment for his previous "non-cooperation".

At that point, what awaits him is either more than 20 years in prison - if he opens his mouth to testify.

On the contrary, it is very likely that he will be sent to a psychiatric hospital and become an idiot who no one knows one day in the future.

Edward would never allow this to happen to him.

The original "party" with Meghan was also a good opportunity to release stress, and when she heard her breathtaking roar from the depths of his throat, Edward usually echoed it, both physically and vocally.

Although it is almost impossible to get out of bed after the incident, it must be admitted that this is almost the best way to reduce stress, and it can also lose weight and communicate feelings by the way.

Recently, I have been getting together less with Meghan, but it's not that there is a problem between the two.

She's so busy!

FAKE NEWS, IN VIEW OF HER RECENT PERFORMANCE IN THE RATINGS, HAS INVESTED A LOT OF RESOURCES IN HER HEAD, MORE PROGRAM TIME AND BETTER TIME SLOTS, AS WELL AS A HUGE PROGRAM PRODUCTION BUDGET, WHICH ALSO MEANS THAT SHE HAS TO SPEND MORE TIME IN THE OFFICE AND STUDIO, AND AT THE SAME TIME, SHE HAS TO SPEND MORE ENERGY ON ALL KINDS OF COPYWRITING PREPARATION.

Secondly, the follow-up impact of the Woodstock festival is scary, and the follow-up developments have also kept Six Sisters Records busy. In particular, the temporary joining of Bob Dylan and Joan Baggy made this "music festival", which was originally a bit of a grass stage group entertaining themselves, suddenly became a holy place in the hearts of music fans in August.

And the "Bohemian Rhapsody" sung by the two big names with Sheldon respectively set off a monstrous wave in the New World, and more than half a month has passed, and the momentum is still rising, and it is swept away across the ocean to old Europe.

The first of them is the United Kingdom, which is directly at the top of the list, and it can't be down in two or three months.

For a time, the whole Western world was singing "Mom, I killed someone......"

And the Russian propaganda agency also went against the norm, with an unexpectedly light and agile attitude, the first time to introduce copyright, allowing it to be broadcast in China, of course, it is also a "appreciation guide" with a large piece of paper attached:

This is a typical hybrid music, absurd, hallucinatory melodies that are occupied by psychedelics as if they were the daily lives of capitalist youth.

At the same time, the daily violence not only harms society, but also the perpetrators themselves, as evidenced by the confessional section of the song.

However, in order to paralyze the working people, the bourgeoisie transferred their fighting spirit to the exploration of metaphysics through various religions, which caused these young people to lose the courage and confidence to forge ahead......

TASS also specially distributed a letter from an old comrade in Pravda, the first half of which is similar to the "Appreciation Guide", with the last sentence:

Young people are all beautiful sounds, and they are all light songs and dances. I'm telling you, those capitalist youths don't have any interest when they grow up listening to this. This is heroic!

But the Six Sisters record company doesn't care about this.

In their eyes, as long as there is royalties, success is a great victory, and under the guidance of the idea of seeing money, they even whimsically applied to the Russian Cultural Office in Mi - Sheldon and others wanted to go on tour in the Soviet Union!

Ignoring the fact that they had just been bombed half a year ago - yes, a limited edition by the drummer and guitarist, created by the lead singer and bassist, and the band's attempt to blow Ambassador Dobrynin into the sky with a mortar.

The director of the office stared at Meghan like an idiot for a full thirty seconds without speaking, and the latter thought that the other party was a party member Puritans and probably had never seen her kind of American liberal style with her shirt broken and three buttons, not only did two chest expansion exercises, but also said that she liked vodka and romantic and deep Russian men.

This request was rightfully rejected, but the GDR Cultural Counsellor, who lived next to the Russians, expressed great interest......

In addition, the director of Russia also apologized for this, brushing her well-trimmed beard, adding a little Moscow-style guttural voice to pure American English, and staring at Meghan with slender blue eyes, wanting to apologize for inviting her to taste authentic Russian caviar on Saturday night, if she had time.

Meghan accepted the invitation, of course, and then made a phone call to tell Edward that there was an important event on Saturday night and that she would have to come back late......

As a result, almost everyone in the tiny Six Sisters record company is 996......

Edward has no channel to vent his pressure, his eyes have been red recently, he looked at it and went to Fetcher to arrange, he felt that it was too embarrassing, the girls in the Playboy Club were of good quality and quantity, but it seemed to be very troublesome to provoke, and he would probably think that this was a life practice, but now all his energy is spent on the case, and he has no time to do this.
