Stacey’s M.M. Post: Tomatoes

Jersey Tomatoes. The sound of those two words evokes a strong smell memory. I can smell the garden-fresh, bright red, ripe tomatoes my father grew in our backyard when I was a little girl.

I've been checking the weather all weekend. It simply cannot rain tonight, tomorrow, and Wednesday. However, it looks like it might on Wednesday. It's not supposed to rain on the High Holidays! I grew up in a pretty large synagogue in New Jersey. There were three services for Rosh Hashanah: two in the Sanctuary (and… Continue reading Stacey’s M.M.
