Oct 7 will always be remembered with heavy hearts. But it’s also cause for celebrating the miracle of my dear cousin Rachel on her 108th (!!) birthday. Rachel is one of 2% of Jews who survived the Holocaust in Bitola (now in N. Macedonia). I’m so lucky my daughters still get to hear her stories.💙

Listen to a blessing in #Ladino for the Rosh Hashanah seder- a part of the Jewish new year celebration when we recite blessings over special foods to have our wishes come true in the year to come.
