Happy Jewish New Year 2013

This morning, while doing errands on our favorite street in Jerusalem (Palmach), I started singing;  both Raphaela and I start singing spontaneously when we are happy and relaxed.  Raphaela pulled on my arm and shouted, "Mommy, stop singing!"

I looked down at her and said, "Do you know why I sing?" She shook her head. "Because I see that it bothers you..." And I smiled.

Raphaela, my big little girl with a birthday in two weeks, burst out laughing.  Here we go, charging into the new Jewish year, and wishing all of you blessings and joy beyond imagination.
