Shabbat Message
Baby Steps
by Rabbi Yosef Koval
One of the many wonderful gifts from G-d which I am so grateful for is being blessed with wonderful children and grandchildren, thank G-d! As an added “cherry on top” I am even further blessed with the fact that one of my married children, Hadassa, lives nearby and I can see her and the children often.
Last week I was asked by my 4-year-old granddaughter, Adina, to come to her school as her class is learning the Hebrew alphabet and they are up to the letter “zayin”. Since the Yiddish word for “grandfather” is “Zaidy” – which begins with the letter zayin – her teacher invited any student to bring their grandfather into the classroom to visit the class. Of course, I was delighted to accept the invitation and on Thursday morning I made my grand appearance.
