How to Keep Warm!

By Michalee Merritt

Living in New England it seems that the weather goes straight from hot and humid summer to cold dark fall. These past first weeks of November have been surprisingly warm. I have been taking long walks listening to the crunch of the leaves beneath my feet. As I’ve walked, I’ve thought about how I can keep this unexpected warmth in my life when I know that it IS going to get COLD and DARK. 

How can I keep this unexpected warmth in my life
when I know that it IS going to get COLD and DARK?

It has been a long time since I ran my own Chai Mitzvah group. I decided this is the time to keep this warmth going. Our sourcebooks are a treasure trove of learning and sharing. It brings me such joy when my group shares their stories of growing up Jewish. The warmth they had in their hearts and homes. I can’t wait to start our new Rosh Chodesh learning with some of my friends, new and old. It truly warms my heart!
