On this happy occasion of Mothers Day, we give thanks to all of those great moms out there from everyone here at the J! And, wed like to share the poem, A Woman of Valor, which comes from the Book of Proverbs. In Hebrew, a “Woman of Valor” is Eshet Chayil. It has become Jewish custom for husbands to recite this poem to their wives at the end of the week, and to think about and be thankful for all his wife has done for him and their family throughout the past week. It is written as follows: A woman of valor–seek her out, for she is to be valued above rubies. Her husband trusts her, and they cannot fail to prosper. All the days of her life she is good to him. She opens her hands to those in need and offers her help to the poor. Adorned with strength and dignity, she looks to the future with cheerful trust. Her speech is wise, and the law of kindness is on her lips. Her children rise up to call her blessed, her husband likewise praises her: ‘Many women have done well, but you surpass them all.’ Charm is deceptive and beauty shortlived, but a woman loyal to God has truly earned praise. Give her honor for her work; her life proclaims her praise. — from Proverbs 31
