and now we’re free.

“What do you want to do for your birthday?” My daughter asked, and I suddenly realized – I have no idea.  I have to learn from the beginning what I feel, what I want, where I want to go.  I know I want to be with as many children as possible, to feel all over again.  This Passover in Israel there is a sense of new beginnings, despite the elections – or perhaps because of the uncertainty of the elections.
