Dear Parents,

All week, I have been looking forward to Shabbat, and not just because it’s Friday and the end of the work/school week. Really, it’s feeling an awful lot like the movie, “Groundhog Day,” in my house, and the weekend doesn’t feel much different. I am guessing you can relate. I have been looking forward to Friday all week because last week, for the first time in MONTHS, my husband, child and I were all together for Shabbat. Despite the work we all had to accomplish over the course of the day, in between we managed to make a challah and prepare a beautiful meal together. I am so grateful for the blessing of my family, and that we are so lucky to be healthy and together—and that is what I am holding onto as I move into this Shabbat. I wish you all a peaceful Shabbat, one with moments, big or small, for deep appreciation.
