Bitter and Sweet

Sandra Feder uses the title, Bitter and Sweet, “to acknowledge duality in everyday life.  Judaism and Jewish teaching provide many wonderful ways to recognize that life holds some of both.”  She has written a delightful story of young Hannah who has to move and leave her friends and house behind.  She thinks there things will only be unpleasant in her new home. She discovers that there are both bitter and sweet things in her new home, Shabbat wine is sweet, and she makes a new friend.  She finds out that you have to sweeten the bitter yourself.
