Snow Day!!!

Just in time!  Apparently, it would have set some kind of record if it hadn’t snowed in November, but on Wednesday, it finally snowed.  We were having a “homeschool jammie day” but that didn’t stop the kids from running outside to play.

Once Naomi Rivka was more appropriately attired, I let her go out and build a snow city.  I warned her that it probably wouldn’t stick, but for a few minutes there, it actually looked like winter was on its way…

    Homeschool Jammie day! We do that more often than not.. :) Unless company is expected, then we must dress ourselves and appear civilized!

    As far as snow coverage - it is so much less than what is stereotypical in my mind for Canada! I simply just assumed that Canada would have significantly more snow accumulation than us here in the lower 48. :) Yet again I have learned something new- each day! :D

    We had our first snow over the weekend and it melted by afternoon. But it's snowing again today so maybe a little more will stick since the high for today is only 18 degrees.

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused o...
