FOR MOM, STILL WITH US


On this Rosh Hashanah,

                        we say no erasures ever,

we mobilize words against mortality,

                             we launch photographs against


                    forgetting, we share

stories in defense of memory, and

       recall those


                       who  brought us here, and we

             bind our love in books,

placing seals squarely

                                    on our hearts.



On the occasion of the publication of a Memory Book in honor
of my beloved  mother, Ruth Lisa Schechter
