May our garden continue to produce a glorious assortment of flowers and trees, each attached firmly to its roots.

It’s a clear sign to everyone; this boy is no longer a baby.

Sections → Magazine → Teens and TwentiesThe importance of death customs has been ingrained in me since birth.

Teachers and students work hard all year long – and everyone deserves a break from education over the summer. However, this two-month break can often have some pretty devastating consequences.

What makes me say that? The plethora of large cream envelopes, addressed in calligraphic letters, bearing stamps with pictures of creamy white roses.
Reflections On Jewish Budapest
Posted on: June 7th, 2013
Sections → Features → Features On The Jewish WorldIn the quaint and picturesque Hungarian town of Szentendre (Saint Andrew), just outside of Budapest, our group of five new friends who had gathered from throughout the Jewish world bask in the sunlight, seemingly frozen in time. We weave along the cobblestone streets browsing in and out of charming little shops offering handmade crafts, delicate latticework, whimsical wooden toys and intricately painted porcelain. We sit outside and feast on pastries that look more like art than edibles and ice coffee is reminiscent of ice cream floats.
