So beautifully written and full of Jewish Joy during an uncertain time in our history. We are so lucky to have you among our people and even lucky to count you as a cherished member or our family.

Absolutely amazing and so well written. Don’t know how you found the time to write such eloquent words in your hectic life but somehow you put the most poignant,inspiring words to paper. As your Christian mother I am so proud of you ❤️

It's a remarkable skill to paint such vivid imagery with one's words.

There are so many great sentences in the text. But this one stood out to me: "His words hung aloft like winged seeds in the humid air." Seriously, what a novel way to describe a voice. I've never read anything like that.

The rich and descriptive language allowed me to feel completely immersed in the narrative and present in the moment. I hope to see more writing pieces from Carisa in the future.
