Life: I'm cooking up a delicious collection of food for friends at Jewish New Year time (the Rosh HaShana holiday begins on Sunday).

Here's a look at the seed crackers I've prepared.

Here's a message I've shared far a wide. I hope that you'll ponder and enjoy it.

When you pray with tears, you unlock the Heavenly gates; 

when you pray with joy, there are no gates.

~R. Lazer Brody

Who you are is a gift from G-d. 

Who you become is your gift TO G-d!!!!

~ Rabbi David Aaron

Those messages are not just for the Jewish kids in the class. 

May the world be blessed with unending goodness in 5776.

See you next year!

Britons aren't doing much better. Roads are melting in Cambridge, possibly elsewhere. Wildfires and drownings are part of the horror.

Lack of sleep due to heat stress worsens the problems.
