A Father’s Love Song for his Son: Light will Fill You by Maor Shooshan

Somehow this song landed in my facebook feed, and I proceeded to listen to it 10 times straight! The melody is SO beautiful, and the message, I think, is especially appropriate for this time of year, when we moms need all the koach we can get to do all the things we need to do. And (Maor tells us) just like Hashem fills us with light to continue on, so too our love for our children fills them with light–to shine. You can follow Maor on...

A Motto for Pesach Cleaning:  “WE ARE RICH!” By Sivan Rahav Meir

It’s fourteen days until Seder night arrives. Each year the following thought from Dr. Miri Kahana helps me muster the strength needed for all the cleaning, shopping, and cooking that lie ahead: “I wanted to share a thought to which I continually return: all of this arduous cleaning we must do is only because we are very rich. Not just me, but all of us. Each of us lives with our family in our own home. There is a separate room for the parents, a kitchen, a shower, and a bathroom. Our houses are full of furniture, clothes,...

My Response to a Jew with No Connection to Israel by Anat Ishai

This eloquent and powerful response of Anat Ishai http://instagram.com/challah.mom is also, I think, the best response to those who wonder how it’s possible that yesterday the UN ranked Israel the 4th happiest country in the world. All the other countries in the top 10 are peaceful, wealthy countries like Finland, Denmark, New Zealand, and Luxemburg with no real enemies. What is Israel, a country where most people struggle to get by financially, and surrounded (and partially populated) by enemies obsessed with our destruction...

Our Shocked Dinner Guest

Last night we hosted a lovely older Jewish couple from Chicago. At one point, the husband mentioned that he’s a lawyer, so Josh mentioned that his dad’s a law professor. “Where’d you go to law school?” Josh asked our guest. “Harvard Law.” “Really? Which year did you graduate?” “1969.” “Really?? My dad graduated in 1969! Did you know him??” Our guest, it turned out, didn’t recognize my father-in-law’s name. Even though our guest had been the editor of the...
