Holding Hands
Holly, a member of our Kosher World Adventures family, was struck by a car on Shabbat and did not survive.
She and Andrew had both found love for a second time and chose to honeymoon with us in Hawaii. They had only nine months together.
There is an image I keep thinking about. In Israel, when kindergarten children go on a field trip, they walk in pairs, holding hands.
Sometimes I think that is how all of us should travel through life.
Find your walk-mate.
Walk together.
Hold hands.
On Shabbat, Andrew lost his walk-mate. Now it is our turn to hold his hand.
As we enter Elul and begin looking toward Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, I hope we can say: God, I have tried to spend my time holding other people’s hands. Now I am asking You to hold mine.
Baruch Dayan HaEmet.
