You always "bring it" -- every time. Your efforts do not go unnoticed and everyone that attends any event at shul feels the care that goes into what you do. You are such a blessing! I'm so happy you got to spend some time participating in services as well...you deserve it! You're such an inspiration <3

What a beautiful read Chavie! Although we don’t know each other, I relate so deeply to so much of what you share, and really enjoy the realness of your writing. That food and those table scapes look magnificent.

Your community is very lucky.

(And just want to add, that bit with the “young employee who can’t think outside the box” gave me a laugh. I’ve been on the receiving end of that so many times )

You said it for many of us. Whether we have a young family to take care of, or being a full time caregiver to an older spouse you hit the nail on the head. We all come to shul with good intentions, but our mind wanders to our other responsibilities. This year I am going concentrate on my relationship with Hashem at shul and home too. Thank you.

Once again, you wrote a truly remarkably TRUE observation. Now that I am older and (wiser) I feel that I can concentrate and hone in on my services (so to speak) there is so to be thankful for and I am grateful and happy
