I dreamt last night I’d acquired an appallingly large belly after consuming (with reckless abandon) the dozens of cookies left over from a large kiddush last Shabbat. I woke up this morning feeling great virtual remorse.
Then I checked my email and found…this.
Thank you, Yehoshua Halevi, for perhaps the most paradoxical holiday greetings this Chanukah.
There is a famous Moomin-mamma saying (translated from Swedish) that goes, “Everything that is nice is good for the stomach.”
If you follow the Moomin zen, then this is a very healthy card indeed!
And for those of you who have never heard of Moomins, it’s the creation of a Finnish author called Tove Jansson who wrote strangely philosophical childrens books and comics.
Well, happy, anyway.
Oh, we’re going to miss the sufganiyot this year!
