There will be people who tell you not to believe in dreams. “They are not real,” those people will say. But many times, this comes from the lips of people who lost their dreams along the way. That is sad. This doesn’t mean their dreams can never come true, but they must rekindle the belief…
Dearest Bea, Wow! What a great time for you. I’m so excited for you! Now, you’ll move onto a new chapter of your life. I am celebrating your success with cake tonight and a yummy dinner. I have already put money into your savings account. I wish you could be there to hug you and…
I like this song. Makes you tap your foot and realize that the one thing you can always count on is change. What’s going on when you are thirteen or fourteen will be very different when you are twenty five and thirty and forty two. And what is happening now can either shape you for…
Today, I ran the awards ceremony with our school principal. I do so wish I could go to your awards ceremonies. If I did, I’m thinking it would become quite a dramatic and ugly scene. I won’t do that to you. I know what day you are graduating Bea and I’ll be thinking about you…
I hope you don’t think your generation of kids made up rebelling against their parents. All kids do to an extent. These kids are actually German kids dancing to African American/ Jewish influenced jazz music of the 1930’s and 1940’s.

Your grandparents ( my parents) both served in the Vietnam War. Thankfully, neither of them dealt with combat situations. Today, I’m saluting and…
Yeah, I just learned how to post a YouTube video from my phone! Now I don’t have to lug my laptop all over Europe!
I believe this. Somebody’s out there watchin’ what’s going on. And things wrong now, WILL be made right. You are not alone. That day will come. Just wait on God’s plan. Just take HIS hand (in your imagination/mind’s eye) and hold on tight. Live with God’s laws. You CAN control what YOU do. You cannot…
It is the festival of Shavuot (Shavuos) and during this time, we read the story of Ruth from the Bible. Ruth was born a Moabite (an ancient race of people who lived in the Middle East). She married a Jew and lived with his family including his mother, Naomi. When her husband dies, Ruth refuses…
You’ve probably never heard of blintzes. They are so yummy! They are sweet (like you both) with cheese filling and fruit. Since I know SOMEONE likes the idea of being a chef/cook, I thought you both might enjoy watching to make them. Jews eat these during the dairy festival of Shavuos. Shavuos is a holiday…
