That is the Armenian hand painted Havdalah set we are trying to order (the 4 pieces on the right) and there’s a matching Passover set.  We can’t get their cart to work so I’m waiting to hear back from them or I’ll be calling tomorrow   I’m so excited.

Ever since dh found out his grandmother’s death bed confession was that she was Jewish his entire life has begun to make sense to him.  It’s been amazing to see him come alive!  He had talked of wearing a Star of David as a child but couldn’t remember why–now he remembers that his grandmother gave it to him.  He has been learning the blessings and wanting to begin traditions for our children that will give their lives the context that his has missed.  I’m so grateful God led us to the place we are so that we can do this with community and support

I’m getting Star of David necklaces for my children to memorialize their baptism and dh wants a new tallit, clip and kippah for his birthday in May.  I’m getting him a Star of David necklace too–and I hope it reminds him of his grandmother who he loved dearly. She helped raise him and he says often that I remind him of her. That should have tipped me off she was Jewish LOLOL
