To mark the occasion, I am lighting Shabbat candles, using the candlesticks handed down through my mom by my Aunt Giza, many years gone now but still warm in my heart.
Shabbat Shalom everyone. Chicken soup...here I come :-)

Day 59: Shabbat Shalom
It's Friday night and Rabbi Chaim and his wife Mina have invited me to dinner. I'm not particularly observant, though I like many of our traditions, but I do very much appreciate having some Yiddishkite introduced into my life from time to time. And no one does it better than they. To my great good fortune, Chaim and Mina live only a couple of blocks from my house. It's an opportunity to speak Hebrew, connect with my religion and, not least, partake of Mina's fabulous cooking.
