There was a women's Eichah reading in Teaneck last night. It was so sad and beautiful. I found it was very easy to be moved, partly because I've been feeling emotional lately for a number of reasons. But I think that being a mother makes it more profound for me too. Worrying about my daughter and the things that have happened to family's throughout history is so deeply painful. To read if it in a room of mothers and daughters, even more so.
