Thank you Mike!! I am heading to NYC to take care of my adult children who are the primary motivators for recording these stories. I am so appreciative of your e-mailing me. Where is your Mom from??? I would love to know more if you have a chance. Recipe always welcome! Philly is one of my favorite cities and have spent lots of time there.

Shana Tovah,

Irene

shalom irene

i almost never leave a post to anything on the net, but…
thanks (toda) for sharing your story about your mother’s friends
my mother is a holocaust survivor from eastern europe; and from my life
for so many decades in central phila pa (usa); what you described is what i
consider to be one of the most unique ethnic traits in jewish culture; even with
non-relatives, you are treated like family in many situations; i could just
picture it:
“Here, eat, do you have enough, here i have some more of this (or that)…aren’t you hungry? you need to eat more!…Here have some…”
well, you get the drift. but again thanks for sharing such a wonderful story.

Hi Dorothye,

I am indeed but Elizabeth and David won’t be with us, still we hope to have a good turn out. I understand how he feels. I would miss the leftovers as well. I always make turkey pot pie the day after Thanksgiving.

Thanks for writing Dorothye. The same to you and Melvyn. Off to see the kids in NYC this week so the next post will most likely be after Thanksgiving.

Love,
Irene
