“Covered Heads”

By

•

“As I stood on the rooftop drinking with my brother and his classmates on the night of their rabbinical school graduation, I wondered at the meaning of this metamorphosis. I looked over to see my brother raising drinks with his fellow rabbis, the Manhattan skyline spreading out behind them as darkness fell. What lesson could I draw from Steve’s ability to commit to a life so unlike the one we’d shared during childhood?”

An excerpt from our very own Brian Schwartz‘s memoir-in-progress has been posted at Mr. Beller’s Neighborhood. Enjoy.
