After the delicious food, we moved out to the back deck for presentations by the March of Life team. Special music included “Avinu Malkeinu” and “Am Yisrael Chai!” by me, with guitar. Then, Rozalie shared her history of participation with the March of Life and the March of Remembrance, as well as her personal history of family lost in the Holocaust. The crowd paid close attention and responded with words of comfort and encouragement.
I painted about 20 of these little holiday messages on the curled, fallen pieces of bark from the Eucalyptus trees….we used them as gifts, mostly for the Holocaust survivors. Such fun!
We ended with Yiddish songs, including “Tumbalalaika.”
