[letter to a friend]
I feel very deficient in allowing so much time to pass without remaining in touch with you, for I wouldn’t want to do anything to make you feel forgotten by old friends.
…What happens is that we all get so absorbed in our own little combats. The past year has been full of family and community commitments for Seymour and me, which I know you can imagine even if I don’t enumerate.
One of the things Seymour and I now do is attend and lead the daily evening service at our shul. It is during that service that I think of my friends and loved ones and pray for their health, safety and well-being, and for the strength and courage to carry our burdens.
