Dear Readers,
In honor of Father’s Day, we asked a few daughters and sons who work with their dads to write a couple of paragraphs about the experience of spending their adult lives alongside their fathers. The responses were incredibly passionate, respectful, heartfelt and in some cases, humorous. In all instances, however, they were longer than two or three paragraphs, a clear indication of just how grateful these people are to learn from and work beside their fathers. Thank you Bryan Konikoff, Rashi Brashevitzky, Bill Nusbaum, and Bill and Eric Miller for sharing. How lucky you all are!
Not able to veer far from politics this year, even on our pages for Father’s Day, we have a fun piece about two famous Jewish sons-in-law. In this especially combative election season, it seems that everything is a competition!
And, then there’s the article from the very tired Orthodox Jewish dad. Working, studying and making certain to be home for family dinnertime is exhausting…but oh so rewarding. Just read his piece. Or speak to nearly any parent with young kids.
This Father’s Day, Sunday, June 19, no matter how you celebrate… dining out or cooking out, with gifts or with memories, we wish dads, grandfathers, uncles and favorite friends a very happy day!
