Abchu and Avraham

For the little great-grandchildren of Abchu and Leah, who laughed and played tag on the happy procession to the flowered gravestones, Abchu is ancient history, as old as Avraham Avinu, our collective patriarch who dared to break idols and listen to a mystical directive, "Lech L'cha" "Go to yourself, go to the land that I will show you, and I will make you fruitful in the land, and you will be a blessing". What did Abchu's father YRachmiel say when Abchu announced in 1933 that he was on his way to the land that was promised to the more ancient Abraham? And how can we keep vibrant that story of Abchu and Leah for these delightful little ones, born in Israel, taking Israel as a given? By laughing and skipping our way to the gravestones in a happy parade of generations each year. By celebrating their energy and their sweetness, on the day they became part of the earth.
