CLOTHESMINDEDNESS – You Are What You Wear

by Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Jax, FL.

Grateful for a place to park his weary bones, the traveler quickly makes for the staircase, halting only to request that the innkeeper wake him well before dawn. “Got a train to catch,” he importantly blurts out.

Before he knows it, there’s a hand shaking him awake. “It’s well before dawn,” says a voice; “your train.”

From a speech at the memorial to Pesha Leah Lapine

Pesha Leah Lapine and I were not only cousins, we were good friends. I remember the night we became friends. Pesha Leah and I were exactly the same age, and had done the same things at the same time. We had each gone from the social issues of the sixties, to a growing sense of Judaism in the seventies. Everything Pesha Leah said that night made me laugh and I laughed until my sides ached.
