You wrote your brother, then alive, a long email (back when you wrote and read for hours, we both did), and we slept ’til 11 (back when we slept so late), and if I don’t write this down, it will all fall away, but even I can’t remember which city that was, which bus we’d taken, what we’d drunk the night before.
An Arm Fixed to a Wing
Olivia Clare Friedman’s An Arm Fixed to a Wing seeks out the spiritual elements that haunt the everyday, the divine wing fastened to an earthly arm.

Because of the pandemic, her funeral was put off.

Four Reasons to Leverage Pop Culture in the Judaic Studies Classroom | The Lehrhaus
Olivia Friedman This is a story about teenagers and Torah. But it’s not your typical story. There are some students who are born with the taste of Torah on their tongues.

These are all examples of literary foils, individuals who play off each others’ strengths and weaknesses to demonstrate striking, and important, differences.

When Daenerys falls apart without love, Sansa has learned to live without it.
