As your school year is about to begin, I wanted to send you my best wishes for a great year from all of us at SOS. I also wanted you to know about a very special pair of candlesticks that Mara will be bringing to you when you meet in Budapest.
My husband and I recently cleaned out the home that his parents lived in for about 60 years. His mother is no longer alive and his 99 year old father has moved to an assisted living facility. When we were going through some cupboards, we found the candlesticks that were used by my husband’s grandmother. The family decided that we would like them to go to you, our friends at the Krakow JCC, and the children of Frajda.
It is so significant that you will be using a pair of candlesticks that were brought to the United States many years ago and are now on their way back to Europe. It fills us with joy to know that you are educating, supporting and helping families with the rebirth of Jewish life.
Thank you for all you are doing for the families in Krakow. The picture below is of me handing Mara the candlesticks. ~ Fran Pfeffer
