“Let’s help our girls grow up without the yardstick of perfection looming over them”
We were remarkably moved by the beautiful piece about Yishai Green in last week’s issue. Yishai’s words brought us to tears more than once. If only all of our nonreligious brothers and sisters knew how much we love them. There is no division between us; we are one people.
Yishai is remarkable for having the courage to see truth and act on it. We should all be so courageous. Thank you, Mishpacha magazine, for publishing such an important and uplifting story of unity.

Shul with a View by Rabbi Ron Yitzchok Eisenman is one of my absolute favorite columns. As I once lived in Passaic and attended some of his classes, I hear his voice as I read.

The story about the man who made sure to honor his mother’s last wishes really hit home for me. My own mother was nifteres just eight months ago, 24 years after her husband, my father, passed away. I believe what kept her going all those years was the desire to have a great-grandson named for her husband. Eighteen months ago, her dream was realized, and once she got to meet and hold him, she felt she could leave us peacefully.
