The Sukkah in the Pool

The Sukkah in the Pool

Posted on September 28, 20232 Comments on The Sukkah in the Pool

Sukkot just doesn’t work for Florida. It is our rainy season so, for some years the lawns become muddy, and the mosquitos are hungry and angry. We had the infamous year where the sukkah couldn’t withstand the rain storm and fell into the deep end of the pool, leaving glitter from the decorations! The year … Continue reading The Sukkah in the Pool

Exterminating the Locusts

Posted on September 18, 2023September 17, 20235 Comments on Exterminating the Locusts

Every year during the liturgy of Al Chet I come undone. I am overwhelmed with the sins that I have committed. As it says in one of the statements in the Al Chet, “for the sin which we have committed before you intentionally or unintentionally.” The sadness that I feel for missing the mark is … Continue reading Exterminating the Locusts

The Invitation

Recently, we received a very large black envelope. It had gold calligraphy with our names and address on the front beautifully scripted. I excitedly opened the envelope and pulled out a gorgeous invitation.

The title of this blog is the email title that I received from Blake Guichet, someone that I follow on social media. It made me stop and read her email. The quote comes from Winston Churchill, “You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life”. As believers, we have … Continue reading “You Have Enemies? Good.”

The last time we had a garden was in Marietta, Georgia. The soil was deep red clay which stained your hands, your clothes and anything else that it came into contact with. We worked hard to grow some vegetables in our little patch of ground. As we approach Shavuot in just a few days, I … Continue reading Ruth the Expert Farmer

We were all excited! Driving down to Ft. Lauderdale early in the morning, anticipating our cruise was making us all punchy! We pulled into the parking lot and were directed to a spot towards the back, when we saw them. Monkeys! Two adult monkey’s and a baby were sitting there looking at us. At this … Continue reading The Great Escape

There is a beautiful piyyut (liturgical poem) that is sung during Yom Kippur that is called, “Ki Hinei Hachomer” (Like Clay In the Hands Of the Potter) which I have fallen in love with! It is a medieval liturgical poem and it is based on Jeremiah 18:6; “Can I not, O house of Israel, deal … Continue reading The Accuser

The King Has Not Left the Building

Posted on August 24, 2020August 19, 20201 Comment on The King Has Not Left the Building

Is it just me or is everyone exhausted? This year has beat us up pretty badly. We have dealt with friends and families, facing illness, death, loneliness, isolation, confusion, complete upheaval of our everyday lives, and don’t forget the hunting for toilet paper! It has been an eye opener for those of us who love … Continue reading The King Has Not Left the Building
