Grand Central Station and Grand Reunions

 

The best thing about my (previous) job is knowing that in a tiny way, I made a positive difference to ‘my’ students time at university. It’s such a privilege to ‘watch them fly’. Yesterday, I had an invitation to celebrate Passover with one of my ‘chicks’, and her lovely parents. 

That meant I had to catch a train…

…which was no hardship…


…as it gave me the chance to visit the glory of Grand Central Station.


It made my heart sing to spend time with Hannah…


…and join her family and friends for an unconventional Seder ❤️.

Remember them, never forget, never again.
