Kindness goes a long way. I lost my mom when I was twenty-nine and that was hard enough, so I have a soft spot for kids who lose a parent before they get to be their parent’s friend. This week our Lev Hospitality Lodge hosted a beautiful group of ten young adults, Yesomim, guys who lost a parent, who came to Bozeman for two days of R&R. They visited Yellowstone, enjoyed snowmobiling, and were pampered with so much love. They also gifted Bozeman with a beautiful Rosh Chodesh Minyan which I cherished, singing Hallel with heart and soul. The organization that cares for these kids is called Links Family and I’m so impressed with my sister Mushkie and her husband Chanochie who are now active with the organization and helping bring joy and optimism to those who, like them, lost a parent.
