Approaching Passover, the main theme is to rid your household of leavened bread—meaning the type that we normally eat—in all of its varieties, from loaves to crumbs and any mixtures in between.
This piece made me think a lot about what it means to read the Torah and learn with my friend who lives in Jerusalem. She is an observant Jew who I have known for over 20 years. I am grateful for her. She is a good teacher.
Mazel Tov to your grandson! Growing and maturing.
I love the analogy of the leaven. Quite a lot to think about for me.
I found this extremely moving. I could see every word and, more than that, I could see every person, in it.
Thank you Veronica.
