My Journey - Sarah Rosenberg-Brown

Our visit to the  Warsaw Cemetery

We step through the gate of the Warsaw Cemetery among sounds of a bustling  modern city into a serene yet powerful scene.

As far as the  eye can see we are surrounded  by tall leafy trees, lush grass and thousands upon thousands of Jewish head stones.

As we wander the endless rows of graves commemorating the   righteous, birds sing and flit through the air.  

Standing  among the graves, cotton seeds drift down from the sky as if whispers of the neshamas(souls) of those who came  before us.

We are the bridge from the rich culture and history that are people so vibrantly  lived for over 800 years.

We teach our children and imbue them with the love of our tradition for the future.
