    by Yael Fischman

    We studied together, the B Mitzvah and I, about Tallit and Tefillin. Still wearing them, we sat down to write abut the experience.  What they wrote is private; this is what came to me, in words  at least. Someday, I shall  translate the words and the feeling into a wire kippah or wall hanging. 'Til then sweet readers, enjoy these words which I  share today:

    Legacy inherited

    Unquestioned access

    to treasure most ancient.

    To transmit:

    To move though the generations 

    from desert to shtetl

    to an America which WAS the goldene medine

    To ask the questions...
