All alone

The holidays Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur have recently passed and for me, the holidays were different than they were any other year. This year, I am an only child.

Bracing for a smile

Ever since seventh grade I longed for the day I would get my braces off. Sure, over the almost three years of having them, I got used to them, but still, in the back of my mind, I always wanted my orthodontist to tell me he was taking them off that very minute.

Change of pace

How was the transition? Difficult? Easy? I’m curious to know.
That is the question I hear from every parent I meet from the Hebrew Academy of Morris County.
