Oh, Jessica. You are the best at writing what I’m feeling. As I turn 70 tomorrow, and finish kashering today and then try to cook, I’m facing my 4th non-Corona virus in less than 3 months. Nothing compared to what the families of the hostages must be feeling but a struggle in a different way. I cannot fathom how those families are trying to cope.

You took my thoughts and feelings and express it in such articulate and honest words that are an art form. A real talent!!

Thank you for putting words to my emotions yet again. May we all strive to have a heartfelt week ahead in whatever way feels comfortable in our souls and in our hearts.

I love you and your family so deeply. I realized as my birthday brings so many memories to the surface, that knowing your family for more than 40 ++ years has been a cherished and bright light in my life. My heart and memories are with your beloved sister Sarah, z”l , who along with your parents , were the first Steinbergs that I met. My life is more complete and special because of all of you Steinbergs/Goldbergs, and HarPaz family members who have such a special piece of my heart forever.

May this Pesach bring to each of us what we need most; chevrah, brachot, memories, prayer, appreciation for life and each other, and of course Matza crumbs and endless hope for a better tomorrow.
