because it’s not very open in our neighborhood, we just had this view: Today I’m taking part in a Day of Action to #StopAsianHate. On March 26, 1790, the Naturalization Act was signed into law, prohibiting non-white people from becoming citizens of the United States. Technically it starts tomorrow night, but because of the sabbath leading straight into the first night, we have to be Passover ready by tonight. The boys are on spring break and Gabbie is busy all week with school and dance!

We have a special meal called a seder, which consists of reading from a book about the exodus from Egypt and eating certain foods in honor of the holiday, such as a vegetable to represent spring, a mix of apples and wine to represent the bricks the Jewish slaves built with, and matzah, to remember the unleavened bread that the Jewish people brought when they left Egypt. It’s usually the weekend of Mother’s Day. For the past few years, Gabbie has also had dance competitions on Mother’s Day, so I guess that is a tradition too! My boys don’t really do sports (Simon played soccer this year but that’s in the fall) and my activities don’t change for spring time other than getting outside more!

n’t think the author truly knew the laws, and mainly wrote about them from her own outside views, meaning that some of the portrayals of how Miriam’s family observed Judaism are incorrect. First, Miriam’s siblings are seen opening food packages before Shabbat so that they can eat the food on Shabbat. There is such a law with regards to opening food packages, but I have always been told that you can open things in order to eat them, and I think this scene stands out because it makes Jewish people seem just a little crazy, to have to do something like this in order to eat during the sabbath day. Miriam’s mother took the other side, and she used the argument that Israel was given to the Jewish people after the Holocaust, which is true, but she neglected to mention that Jewish people have always lived in Israel and that Jewish people are in fact indigenous to the area.

Two weeks ago, Gabbie had a busy dance weekend. On Friday, she had a school dance team competition. Each studio has it’s own slot in the schedule, so it was only our studio there at the time, and we got to see all of the dancers perform, which is nice. Well, I never would have thought a year ago that I’d be explaining how we remain socially distanced during dance performances, much less seeing the girls wear masks while they dance.

I love the signs of spring like the flowers starting to bloom, buds on the trees, and the grass turning greener. And maybe next year we can go to NJ like we were planning to do last year??!
