DetailsI really am blessed. And on some crazy level my open heart surgery back in June has been a blessing as well. Since June my nights have become adventures in awareness. I lay In Bed from usually 11 pm until I fall asleep and read or listen to music. And I have discovered so many…
DetailsFor as long back as I can remember I make Potato Latkes for Hanukkah. It has become a family tradition. Well today for the first time my grandson Jake was my helper. He helped me peal the potatoes, he mixed the batter and was a huge help. I hope I am passing this tradition on…
DetailsOn this Shabbat I am thinking all about Temple Beth Sholom., the most important institution I my life and all that’s happened there since I’m 14 years old.
