A Parent's Reward
Bringing forth again the scripture I mentioned in the "Shabbat Shalom" entry below; it bears repeating, since it marked the beginning of our Sabbath honorings, and recently when we were out of town, Raechel honored the Sabbath without us, making the challah and the brisket, and involving Naomi in this precious way. She is singing, "Baruch Attah, Adonai..."
"Behold: The heritage of Adonai is children; the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of youth. Praiseworthy is the man who fills his quiver with them;" (Psalm 127:2-5)
