Rosh Hashoneh is just around the corner
!
For your holiday listening pleasure
Looking for a little introspection?
The ten days from Rosh Hashoneh through
Yomkipr
are a great time to think about life.
10Q emails you a thought-provoking question each day for ten days.
One year later, your answers are unlocked and returned to you, and the process begins anew.
Delicious honey cake recipe
If all that introspection makes you hungry, try Marcy Goldman's famous honey cake.

Honor Wall
|
From Lea Delson:
I am remembering my beloved uncle, Michael J. Harrison, who knew a lot more Yiddish than I do! He was a physicist, college professor, college Dean, and researcher. He had a great sense of humor and great devotion to the Jewish people, loved good food and good company, travel and information. He was a very warm, caring and loving person and uncle. He passed away on April 7, 2018 at age 85 in East Lansing, Michigan, and is survived by his devoted wife Ann Tukey Harrison. May his soul be bound in the bonds of eternal life.
