I'm impressed; first that you had the ingredients on hand and then that you were able to use your energy to produce something that had to have felt so essentially Jewish. I, on the other hand, recently widowed after a 55 year marriage, sat immobile, tied up in knots at the savagery and my lack of a partner with whom to share the grief. I made a donation to HIAS and tried to get back to the business of living. And I think, ultimately, that is what we must do: live for ourselves and for those who no longer can.
