JBR ~ Born 125 Years Ago

My late grandmother, Janet, was born 125 years ago today.

She's been gone since 1995, yet she is often in my thoughts. 🩷

As is my late grandfather, Mefford.

Happy Hanukkah

A 1931 photograph taken from the window of Rachel Posner's home in Kiel, Germany.

On the back of the photograph, Posner, the wife of Rabbi Akiva Posner, wrote:

" 'Death to Judah, ' so the flag says. 'Judah will live forever,' so the light answers."
