I return to the family, soon to be refugees, travelling in the dark of the year to pay taxes, to be counted in the census, the advanced state of pregnancy of one young mother notwithstanding.
I am moved by your story of returning to your family after such a long absence, the nativity gifted to you and your siblings, and mostly the realization that some of us live in a world of great, though humble privilege, where so many have so little and lost so much. May our good deeds in our corner of the world, our mitzvah, help to be part of the healing of this very fractured world - tikkun olam.
As always, your observations are clear and human and considering all of us. What else can we do but our best, or as close to it as may come. Happy New Year — three cheers for mitzvah!
Thought provoking, tender, reminding us of our fortunateness ... luv goodest man luv Catch luv
Thank you, Catchy — it's a devastating time, but we must hold onto hope or love or whatever we can!
