A Productive Vacation
For many of you it is spring break. Do you feel like a newly
freed Israelite, having escaped from the hard work of school? For a whole week
you can get up at whatever time you want! But remember, even when we are free —
especially when we are free — we have the responsibility to take care of
ourselves and others.Â
So, don’t just loll around the house and watch TV. Help your
mom with the groceries; play catch with your little brother; plant a garden for
Mother Earth.
