who knows forty-eight?


no. of Levite cities
48 male prophets
48 paths of wisdom to acquire Torah


earlier today Malka Shindler died. She was a young woman who was one of the office admin at the London School of Jewish Studies, where my husband works and I sometimes teach. Malka was always so lovely, super organised and efficient, and extremely helpful and friendly to all. Despite knowing how ill she had been, her death comes as a horrible shock. And I find it hard to understand that I will not see her again.  I would like to dedicate this counting in memory of Malka - may her memory be for a blessing.
