Chanukah Miracle

babyblessinghamsa.jpg

With great joy and gratitude to HaShem Karen and I are pleased to announce that Offspring #2 gave birth to a beautiful (naturally) baby girl, 7lbs. 1 oz, a few minutes ago. Ma’ayan Ariel now has a baby sister.

Mazal Tov to our entire family. May our new granddaughter build a bayit ne’eman b’yisroel, an everlasting house in Israel.

Comment Rules


Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.

  1. No profanity.
  2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism.

That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.

    Thanks so much to all of you for your lovely and generous comments. Offspring#2 of Offspring#2 will be named on Wednesday, second day of Rosh Chodesh, at Shacharit.
    May we all share only simchas together.

    Mazel Tov! Life is, indeed, beautiful all the time.
    And, apropos of simchas, our daughter became a kallah on the 1st night of Chanukah.
    In these interesting times, may we all have only simchas and nachas from all that we do…

    I was just thinking of your daughter today, knowing that she was due Chanukah-time.
    Mazel tov to the proud parents, the big sister, the grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
    May Mommy and Baby recover quickly and easily, and may you have continued naches from your children and grandchildren, Robert & Karen.
    MAZEL TOV!
