Living simply rejoicing in their callings He, a shoemaker finest quality long-lasting leather She, a seamstress understated grace in bridal gowns and accessories home - Lower East Side 1930's NYC tenement-style hearts - in Jerusalem Their bags packed ready to go Hark, Elijah heralds the dawn

such creative and moving words, Gershon. You eloquently captured that feeling of 'being ready.' Not only are you witty, but you're also deep and have such a capacity to voice things that need to be said. I'm impressed with your poetic abilities. Have a splendid evening, Sara
