How Will You Paint This Year?

My grandpa, Vilya, worked as an engineer in the Soviet Space Program, but he didn’t know how to fry an egg.  I found this out when I was five years old, and hungry. We were traveling on our own, without the women who fried our eggs and made our world go round.  A nuclear reactor had exploded about 100 kilometers from our home in Kiev, and my family was doing all they could to keep me safe from the fallout.

Is Purim the Saddest Jewish Holiday?

Sadness is not what comes to mind I think about Purim. Purim has always been my favorite Jewish holiday. As a child, I always thought of it as the “Jewish Halloween”, full of costumes, carnivals, and sweets, of course! As an adult it stayed basically the same to me, except with alcohol added to the mix. So how can this joyous holiday be a celebration one of the darkest moments in Jewish history?

A Girl, A Journey, and the Meaning of Home
