One might think everybody should be joyous during holidays but this year many families will have empty seats around their tables. Whether the absences are due to war, accidents, illness/ old age, they will be missed.
My brother and sister-in-law will be hosting this year's potluck dinner for 26. This will be my family's first New Year's holiday table without my Dad. Even though last year he was quieter than usual, he managed to eat his mashed potatoes with his cup of hot tea and have some dessert.
May we bless the memory of our loved ones by sharing family stories.Best wishes for a more peaceful world ...
Shanah tova. Happy New Year!
