One year, he asked my why I had ashes smeared on my forehead, and I said that it was to mark Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. He said, "Well, happy Ash Wednesday."

For years we had a running joke, in which I would wish him a happy Yom Kippur and a happy Tisha B'Av; and he would wish me a happy Ash Wednesday and a happy Good Friday.

Unfortunately, he died earlier this year, and it was not a happy day.

We also have a close friend who is an observant Jew. Cooking for him has become one of my favorite challenges. Not only does he keep kosher, he is Italian and an excellent cook. I have recently made several meals for him that he is still raving about. That is a huge level of praise for me.

Be well, FA.
