“The pre-Pesach Stealth Mom secretly throwing out old socks matched my current mood perfectly”
I was quite saddened (and a bit disappointed) to see your cover story about Pesach in Orlando. What happened to teaching children the value of working hard, scrubbing, cleaning, kashering, cooking, and then having the beautiful feeling of sitting down to the Seder together with the satisfaction of a job very well done?
In the same issue, you had the most inspiring article about Rabbi Hillel Zaltzman — a man who sacrificed for decades in Communist Russia to preserve our mesorah and pass it on from generation to generation. Now here we are living in a country that allows us religious freedom and we don’t even sacrifice for it.
In my humble opinion, the cover story belonged to Rabbi Zaltzman — a man who represents everything that Pesach stands for, someone who would never trade the beauty of our Pesach mesorah for a week with Mickey Mouse!
