Frum Women’s Dreams

HIGH ALERT At the door I acted as an El Al security agent and inspected visitors for any crumb of chometz. Little children were instructed to wash their hands and maybe feet too. (I didn’t actually make them take baths… but almost)

Many dreams of young girls are universal: good friends pretty clothes a kind chassan and a beautiful wedding. My daughter will say that I am chauvinistic and I tell her I am. Girls are girls and boys are boys and that’s just fine with me. Besides there’s nothing wrong with those dreams. (Life lesson: It’s what you do when they don’t come true that is the measure of true worth.)

But there are different dreams unique to frum women. Things most women don’t even think about. A beautiful sheitel a house within two blocks of shul free/reduced yeshivah tuition and of course a Pesach kitchen. If frum women produced Disney movies the song “Dreams Come True” would have a stanza about a Pesach kitchen.

I know this for a fact because I am a frum woman and I have dreamed for a long time about having a Pesach kitchen.
