Free at last

We are not "supposed" to celebrate the end of the fall holiday season. We are supposed to be sad to see it go. Our return to normal life is supposed to be a departure from the closeness to G-d, and we should not feel liberated. However, I am not shy to admit it! I feel like quoting from Martin Luther King this morning!

It will take me some time to get back into the swing of things, but nevertheless, I am glad to see the end. The Sukkah is down, the endless foil packages are disappearing from the fridge, and the world is slowly returning to normal......
