message and his mother Sophia's honey cake
Earlier this week, I shared a bit about Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, with Sophia Chiou, my delightful new neighbor from Taiwan. I described our custom of eating apples dipped in honey, symbolizing hopes for sweetness in the coming year.
Today, Sophia arrived at my house with three-year-old Iris, surprising me with wonderful homemade holiday gifts: nine-year-old Peter's card and Sophia's honey cake.
What brought this tender, caring woman and her family to Atlanta? Husband Tony Chiou is doing veterinary research this year at Emory University's Yerkes National Primate Research Center.
An auspicious start to the Jewish New Year 5771, radiating a great sweetness to all.
