Chanuka 2014
Avi was born on a Saturday night on the 5th night of Chanuka. Once again, the 5th night fell on Saturday night. And once again, I layned Mikketz from the Torah.
Many people assume that it "must" be hard on me during this time of year, especially when I layn. Why "must" I? Are there any rules that I must follow?
Rather, my focus last week was to chant the Torah at least half as well as Avi had done on his bar mitzvah and the two years since. Last Shabbat was a day for remembering Avi's bar mitzvah. There is no reason why it should have been hard. If any time "must be hard" on me, it would be Presidents Week in February.
