I finally got my hands on a computer after a day! Phew. First of all, I am glad to write a report on your books. I don’t usually because it’s not like the author is ever going to see it, let alone care; but I know you do. You said so.

I didn’t say this but it was really cool to learn a bit about Jewish tradition. Despite talking to Ruchama a lot a year or so ago, I still didn’t know a lot. I don’t have any Jewish friends. I didn’t realize that Link was doing it to honor his grandmother. That’s very beautiful. I kind of thought he was just hopping on a new train because that’s something I did a lot as a kid. I would be upset if I had such a rich history as his and nobody told me about it.

You’re right. All religions have people like that–I used to be 100% like that. I’m glad Link isn’t just leaving where he came from too. And I’m glad you weren’t intending on disparaging Christianity–that you didn’t. I also didn’t say this, but his bar mitzvah was SO cute! 

Yeah, my mom’s the one with the PhD–the one you met. Well, I only have one mom, but that’s her. And thank you! I really did put a lot of effort into writing that. It took thirty minutes. You probably never noticed before because when I’m not purposefully trying to write professionally, I write like how I think, which is usually not professional. Thanks for the analysis.

Keep calm and write on! Have no fear. It would take a lot for me to be mad at my favorite author. 

Be blessed,

Jade
