Leave the Leaves
By Rabbi Yosef Koval
Up until a week ago when the snow hit Northeast Ohio, my lawn looked much like yours—completely covered in leaves. Just before the snowfall, I was outside raking piles of leaves to the curb for city collection, and the task reminded me of an episode years ago when my children were about 10-12 years old.
