“And he [Jacob] blessed them that day, saying, ‘By you will Israel bless, saying, ‘May God make you as Ephraim and Menasheh \u2026.” (Genesis 48:20)<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t forget the stories you\u2019ve told me,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Zeidie<\/span><\/i>, about your childhood in the Old<\/span>
\n<\/span>Country: you\u2019d climb the hills of Galilee<\/span>
\n<\/span>On Friday afternoons alone, and hold<\/span>
\n<\/span>The Sabbath-bride in your arms as you\u2019d turn<\/span>
\n<\/span>Towards Jerusalem and sing to her. \u00a0Or<\/span>
\n<\/span>How you would sleep on Bethel\u2019s stones and yearn<\/span>
\n<\/span>To leap, to dance with the angels you saw.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Rest now, <\/span>Zeidie<\/span><\/i>, immerse yourself in sleep<\/span>
\n<\/span>The way you used to immerse yourself in<\/span>
\n<\/span>The Kinneret and emerge pure. \u00a0Don\u2019t weep<\/span>
\n<\/span>Any more, please, you\u2019ll get better, you\u2019ve been<\/span><\/p>\n

Sick before. \u00a0Why are you crying? \u00a0\u201cNext year<\/span>
\n<\/span>In Jerusalem?\u201d \u00a0I promise. I swear.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":103939,"id":103939,"title":"-62558ed9218ff--62558ed921900gen48-old man grandfather
