It happened in Poland on a Friday night back in 1929, when Imma
was six years old. The adored youngest of ten children, she sat
at the dinner table, probably singing the wonderful Sabbath

accident, Imma didn't get her portion.

 Silent
Applause
By Sheila Segal
I never actually broke a window when playing
catch against the side of the house, but I suspect I came fairly
close many times. My family good-naturedly tolerated my
enthusiasm, but it was really my grandparents who were my
biggest fans.

Let us not be annoyed
by the constant repetition of truths.
Just as our muscles are strengthened by
the constant repetition of certain
movements, so are our convictions
strengthened by a similar repetition of
the truths behind them.
