Full bodied fresh milk, and very sweet honey

My favorite artist is Louise August as when I was a poor rabbinical student my Mom died. All I could afford to memorialize her passing was a numbered signed lithograph of a lady lighting Shabbat candles. It was by Louise August. I thought that the lady depicted was the essential spirit of my Mom. It is now over 40 years later, and I still take pleasure in looking at pictures which capture Judaism in a positive, colorful and nostalgic way. The words, stories, poems and comments compiled in this short explanation of the Jewish holidays come from a variety of sources. Even after 34 years of being a rabbi, there were new insights, tastes of the past, and visions of the future which add to my spirituality. It is not a perfect score for the stories might be too rich for some, and honey of the pictures is way too sweet. Israel Independence Day, Holocaust Remembrance Day and minor holidays are not mentioned or depicted. For a quiok short snack, especially at the holiday time, this "nosh" of knowledge is quite acceptable.
