Thank you for the word that lift my spirit instead of making me cry.
My mother Phillis F. Hecht is having her Yahrzeit on this day. I will go out and help my fellow man so I may help my mother and myself. Reply

yiskor The prayer for my beloved Father, Mother and Sister has profound meaning to me in that I remember them in joy and sadness. The comfort that being a Jew has a deep feeling of belonging to the Jewish community our trials over time has not lessened our faith but makes it stronger Reply

in response to Sarah du Preez:

Remember, there are no Jewish converts. All Jews, past present and future were at Mount Sinai with Moses. You are simply returning to Judaism , not converting. Reply
