My little baby Ezra is getting big. Last week, my little baby kinder-gartner starred in his first school play, as the very special letter "Yud." Now, if you are thinking kabbalistically, as you should be, you know that this is indeed a very, very important letter. Anyhow, their dear teacher knows just how to do things, with her perfect little program, her clever play, and the elaborate siddur-receiving ceremony. That last upload is an exceptionally beautiful (I think) Naomi-design, overlaid upon Ezra's "lines," which he delivered in an adorable, casual-yet-awkward sort of way. All the children were wearing paper crowns and paper vests each with its own beautiful golden letter. I laughed and cried quite ridiculously, but despite being as doting a mom as any, forgot my camera. One of the superior mommies snapped photos of Ezra (letter "Yud") and Natalie (letter "Hay") as they did their bit (must remind her to send them), and of all the children belting out their lovely songs--and they did Oifn Pripitchik !! After it was all over, they partook of a chocolate-cherry Albertson's cake, upon which Morah Esther had written each of their Hebrew names in icing. And, in a variation on a Talmudic theme, each child ate his own enornmous slab of name-cake.
