Feeling much better...

Out tutoring last night, then woke up SO painfully engorged at 6:30 - 12 hours since I'd nursed anyone: eek!

Chills, fever, and a bunch of tylenol/ibuprofen later and I'm starting, STARTING to feel human again.

Called mommy to beg her to make us supper, but she was out & hasn't phoned back, so I guess we're on our own, and I'm okay to make it as long as the littles don't bug me too much.

Supper:

Sticky chicky wings with same teriyaki sauce as last Shabbos
Rice
Umm... supposed to be beef/veg soup but no veges in the house. Urgh.

Remembered today that I invited the parents for Shabbos dinner this week, AND Judy, and now Sara... oh, well; that's only 4 extra and Sara will be here to help cook! Oh, and guests for lunch, too. Can't just have ONE person; we have to invite a million at a time! If you think that's not a problem, well, you've never seen our living room.

Dug up these costumes on Sunday. Mary bought them for YM & EC when they were babies; size 2 and size 3 matching leopard costumes. It's a cheapo copout but I am thinking of zipping Naomi into one and having Elisheva do her face. She's both excited and nervous about "being a cat for Purim."

We've started practicing Mah Nishtana! She said today, "at Pesach I will stand up at the table and sing Maoz Tzur." I reminded her that Maoz Tzur is for Chanukah time and she got flustered and embarrassed. She actually remembers most of it from last year - amazing!

Must run while the littles sleep.

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad. She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel. She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.” I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community. Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos. Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach . Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused o...
