What’s the number one change you want to see in Arlington in 2021?
Thank
On Friday, April 2, I took a bad fall in front of the B&B liquor store on Mass Ave in the Heights. My daughter was with me, but there were several other people who called 911 and stayed to be supportive. I just want to say thank you to those of you who were there. I was in alot of pain and couldn t move off my side, so I didn t see anyone s face, so I don t know who you are. I m doing ok. Bruised ribs, lots a bruising and a broken bone in my wrist. I ve had a lot of loss in the last few years and it s caused me to be sure to let people know when they ve been good to me and to say thank you. So, thank you for being there.:)
My Jewish Learning is a not-for-profit and relies on your helpDonate
I’ve had a lot of names in my life. I have an English name that my parents gave me. I took on a Hebrew name when I chose to identify as Jewish. And I took on a different Hebrew name after my divorce, to symbolize becoming a new person. In the three communities where I’ve served, I’ve been called by just my first name, and by the titles rabbi and rav.
So when I encounter people, I can usually tell when and where they know me based on what they call me. I’ve also been blessed with the privilege of naming another human being. My husband and I chose a name for our daughter that reminds us of the spiritual journey of parenthood and of beloved relatives each time we refer to her. These experiences help us understand some of the mysteries within Parashat Shemot.
