It even has a beautiful siddur (prayer book) inside and my Hebrew name on the outside.
I just wanted to thank my wonderful family for this and especially, my son-in-law, Itzchak for ordering this for me from Israel.
I love it, and thank you guys so much!

For Mothers Day
You don't know what you have until you don't have it anymore.
Often, people become lazy in their relationships or they stop appreciating what/who they have--we end up taking them for granted, not paying them our loving attention or worse mistreating them.
But one day, those people won't necessarily be there for us anymore.
That's when our eyes are opened to what we've done, but then it's too late to go back and undo the mistakes we made.
One good friend told me that marriage is not like Hollywood; it's not all loving all the time:
"There are good days and bad, but it's better to have 5 even really bad days a month with your partner than 30 bad days a month by yourself, alone."
Don't wait until it's too late to love and care for your spouse, children, grandchildren, etc.
Eventually, the clock runs out and regret won't bring anyone back.

Appreciate Who You Have In Your Life
Can't believe it's been 7 years already!
Came across this picture where I'm sneaking up behind her at the veggie restaurant.
My mom was always so full of life!
And while she went regularly to work, she also made sure to took care of us and the home.
Whatever time I found myself coming home from school or work, there was a wonderful home-cooked meal waiting for me, and the salad always came first!
After I met my wife, Dossy, my mom and dad welcomed her to the family with open arms and hearts, and then together with our own children (their grandchildren), we were one (extended) family.
Mom, hope you and Dad are doing well and G-d bless you both in Heaven! ;-)

Missing My Dear Mom
Two things struck me:
1) The deals on beautiful brand name clothing was unbelievable!
2) So many stores have closed during Covid; what a darn shame what's happened to our small businesses.
Anyway, it's an adventure to go to the outlets, and hard not to spend when the deals are all around you.
The best is to get gifts for the people you love! ;-)

@Hagerstown Outlets
He was the President of Congregation Ramath Orah on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in NYC.
I used to be so proud of him standing up at the bimah (podium) and giving the Shabbat announcements every week and everything he did to care for the synagogue and community.
Also, I loved to go up and sit next to him by Ark where the holy Torahs are kept.
He was an exceptional human being, as was his son, my father (and my father's siblings, my Uncle Sid and Aunt Ruth).
Good to the core people! People of faith and family!
I miss my Opa and Oma (grandmother) as well as my dear parents very much.
Like the Chanukah Menorah, they were the light of my upbringing and set me on a path to go forward with my own family.
Chanukah is a time of miracles and I feel that I have seen them not only in our history, but in our lives today! ;-)
My Wonderful Opa
I'm sitting resting on Shabbat, minding my own business, and reading the Favorite Tales of Sholom Aleichem, but then my wife tells me a story circulating in the news that seemed like it could even be one better. At least my exaggerated version of it did as a tall tale in the making.
