I'm Free, I'm Free!

Oh heavens, it will be so good not to have to wake up at six for the next ... counting on fingers ... TEN DAYS!!!! YAY!!!!!

Yes, btw, Passover is a very happy holiday, and Happy Passover! is the appropriate greeting. You know, I am free with the Yiddish, but Yiddish is not universal among Jewish people. It's the language of the Jews of Eastern Europe, certainly the largest group of Jews there were (and probably still are), but not the only. It's my heritage, but a friend whose parents were refugees from Nazi Germany, and who is of German Jewish stock going back centuries, does not have Yiddish in her background, and their foods and traditions are a little different. Most different for me, though, is another teacher at school who was a refugee from Iran (along with her family) after the revolution there. The history of the Persian Jews goes back to Biblical times, and their customs, foods, etc. are very distinctive.

Okay, finished with that holiday. I look forward to a week of sleeping, reading, getting tasks done, one medical test, more sleeping, and so on. Especially the sleeping.
