Rachel surprised me Saturday morning by reading two Hebrew words from the siddur (prayerbook). Her Hebrew reading is coming along — she recognizes all the letters and the sounds they make. Most vowels, too.

We decided this morning to try learning a new Hebrew word every week. This week, she wants to learn “monkey“. For those of you playing along at home, it’s “kof”.

At our seder this past spring, Rachel commented “All the grownups ate spoiled eggs.”

With a little context, I realized she meant boiled eggs.
