Bob “Dylan” Zimmerman has a lot of fans in Minnesota. One Yom Kippur, a Jewish family (not particularly observant) decided that instead of fasting and praying, they would go on a quest— a trek of discovery to Bob Dylan’s hometown. They would walk the streets he walked, see the diners he frequented, etc. They asked their college-aged daughter if she’d like to come. Well, she had been attending the local campus Chabad Jewish Center and had already decided to spend that Yok Kippur in synagogue.
After the holiday they met up. The parents told amazing stories about their trip. So moving. So spiritual in a way. “How was your day dear?” “Well,” she said, “It was pretty amazing too. You’ll never guess who was in synagogue— Bob Dylan!”
