Maybe I should explain about the candlesticks. You see, for years now, whenever I light Sabbath or holiday candles, I have used little candlesticks, as befits a girl in her mother's home. However, as my mother pointed out to me, in the societies where that is the norm, I would be married and in my own home, perhaps with children, by now. I would definitely be lighting using full-size candlesticks. I will be 22 this coming birthday; I'm fairly certain that that makes me an adult. It is time for tall candlesticks.
The pair I want comes from the Emanuel Judaica site. (Are you surprised?) They are made of metal, six-and-a-half inches tall, and they are pink! They cost $39.00 for the pair, which I think is a pretty good deal! Then, if I get money from my grandparents, which I usually do, I will buy a pretty hand washing cup and towel for when I do ritual hand washing in the morning.
So excited!
And posting "Jacob's" picture again, just in case:
It is a wonderful feeling when you suddenly know your an adult, isn't it? My moment came when I was a student and had to sign a year long lease on the house that four of us were to share and organize suplies of electricity, water and so on - no phone, students couldn't afford them then! I was 21, too.
ReplyDeleteHope you manage to buy your washing cup and towel too.
Thinking of little Jacob. (My son is Jacob, too, so your little man comes to mind every time I think of or speak to him)
