You and I will change the world, you and I, then all will join us.

Though it’s been said before, it doesn’t matter. You and I will change the world. You and I will start from the beginning.

It may be difficult, but it’s nothing, it’s not so terrible.

Am I awake? Am I prepared? Are you listening to my prayer? Can you hear my voice? Can you understand? Am I awake? Am I prepared? Yai-lai lai lai lai…

God, Torah, the Jewish People and the surrounding Community.

We remember, with love, the Six Million whose lives were taken during the Holocaust.

My Russian Grandmother and Her American Vacuum Cleaner

the arrival into the family's dusty agricultural midst of the big, shiny

American sweeper sent as a gift by her Great-Uncle.
