Happy Hebrew Birthday

At 7:50 am on Erev Succot, Raphaela was born one year ago today, at Hadassah Ein Kerem in Jerusalem.

Happy birthday my sweetest girl, the little person who has changed my life in ways that I could have never anticipated, and who has given me moments that I would not trade for anything in the world.

Predictably, disregarding for the moment that she has been ill this week, I am awake at two in the morning, checking emails and sterilizing bottles, so I can spend uninterrupted time with Raphaela later today, during normal daylight hours.

Happy birthday, Raphaela! Feel better soon. Our little girl turns 1 too, in just a few days... also during Sukkot.

Happy birthday to all the Succot babies out there! I can't help but wonder how all those kids who were in the Hadassah Hospital nursery at the same time as Raphaela last year are doing.
