Brain fog. I guess that is the best way to describe the past 20 minutes as I struggle with how to put in writing the description of our spiritual, familial and entertaining trip as a family to NY.
If I can put it in a nutshell, perhaps the best description I can give you is, appreciation for what we've got and to never take it for granted. Interestingly, that was also the theme of today's Tanya class.
Having a profound appreciation of being the Rebbe's chossid and Shluchim to Houston. Having a profound appreciation for a wonderful family and having the wisdom to recognize it. But, not just to appreciate it, but to do something about it with the small and large inputs that ensure that we never to take it for granted.
We would like to thank all those who helped us in the logistics and operation of Chabad of Uptown during our leave, including Michael Pasternak, Rabbi & Mrs. Goldstein for leading Shabbos along with Avremi Fishman and Abrasha Grinshtein, Matt Trusch for the classes and everyone else who lent a hand.
This week, we also saw Mendel off for a month long, first time experience at overnight camp in upstate Michigan - of course he is elated. The kids started Camp Gan Israel day camp as well and had an amazing first day.
