From the essay
At the moment I’m on a business trip, in a hotel, with practically no distractions. From Mama’s and Papa’s letters to you the general situation is already quite well known. Shmulik is already three years old, with a whirl of untouched hair and, though younger, physically perhaps stronger than Chani, who herself is now in the middle of her first year at the yeshiva (Hebrew Academy), content, delighting us with her progress, and often bossing around both Shmulik and Lunia, who has grown a lot over the past year, helps us with kiddush and benching, initiates and joins in the games that shake our small—by your standards—house.
