A Note Between Friends

I'm sure you have noticed a gap in this effort. And I am sorry for it. I am sorry nobody else took up the torch. But family crisis intervened and that is what my G-d would want me to attend to. And so I did. At first I felt bad because I had failed in my committent to consistency in this effort. That, of course, is ridiculous. Tending to my father is more important. Being consistent in caring, love, work, helping my kid, feeding my family and all such things matters more than a blog, much as I love the blog. Shabbat will always come again and my absence here does not mean my absence from Shabbat. The wonderful news is that the eternal circle of the Torah will enable me always to pick up again because each Torah portion, like the seasons, comes around again. I so hope that some of you that have chosen to follow this blog (at least for its beginnings) will continue to do so. The joy is in the learning.
