This week will be a busy one for me. I will have to make sure that the home of each of my clients is clean and tidy, that all electrical appliances are in good working order and that the fridge is filled with whatever each family needs. It's a drill I know very well, and one that I am excited to do, because when everything in each apartment is just right, I know it means that the family is coming home. And that's a great feeling for me, and for all our brethren.
For those of my clients who live in Jerusalem, there's so much to look forward to. Before the holidays, there's the rush to prepare. On Yom Tov, there's holiness in the air, absolutely everywhere. And there is no sight more exciting and heart-thumping than the sight of dozens and then hundreds and thousands of Jews making their way to the Kotel (the Wailing Wall) for prayer services. There at the foot of the Temple Mount, the words of prayer reverberate against the walls and in everyone's soul.
Got to go get ready for another family. They're coming home for the holidays.
