Cab company wait time would’ve had me miss services, so I improvised!

I’m in the Navy and just got posted to a new city (Augusta, GA). I was born and raised Jewish but beside the holidays have been pretty non-observant. I decided I want to get back into my Judaism. I found a great synagogue in town and even called them up to introduce myself and let them know I was coming to Shabbos.

I got showered and all dressed up only for the Taxi to tell me they were gonna be 45 minutes and I was gonna miss most of the service. I was upset but I was set on going to a service

So I improvised! Streamed a service (thank you Central Synagogue!), took out my old bootcamp siddur, and poured myself a glass of pomegranate juice for kiddish

It may not be perfect, but I made Shabbos work from the barracks lol☺️✡️🕍
