I left The Jewish Journal\’s booth at last Sunday\’s Israel Festival just before a loyal reader came up and asked whether I was around because he wanted, \”to clean an editor\’s clock.
As I write this article, Hurricane Isabel has come and gone; its destructive force headlined the news, offering a strange but appropriate counterpoint to writing about children\’s books on Sukkot and Simchat Torah. In today\’s world, these holidays, following on the heels of Yom Kippur, remind us of the swift changes life brings and underscore the fragile nature of our security.
