3. I was raised Irish Catholic, but Jewish prayers usually bring tears to my eyes they are so beautiful.

I have Jewish family, they married in to the family.

I used to go the Temple with them every week.
The prayers and music, I loved so much, and the rabbi's sermons.

The lighting of candles, singing the prayer, it is so meaningful for me.

I am going to light a candle at sundown for Ariel and Kfer and add the names of their parents.
And say your prayer.
