Holy women who were so connected, so complete, so pure

I

t’s hard to see that parade of mothers and their children dance past while I stand alone in the shadows. Indeed, I may not yet be able to draw inspiration from the mothering heritage of the Mothers of our People. But I can draw strength from them as holy women who were so connected, so complete, so pure. They may not have always had children of their own, but Hashem was always their Father.
