\u2018Manna\u2019 brings art to Daily Chew<\/p>\n

\u2615\u00a0Daily Chew is a Jewish-owned cafe located at the back door of Morningside. Tables are now available\u00a0on Resy, so there\u2019s no excuse to miss this gem.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Daily Chew<\/a>\u00a0is launching a\u00a0community-centered art program on Thursday, Aug. 27, with\u00a0Artist Harvest Dinner<\/a>\u00a0to provide a first-look at \u201cManna.\u201d Curated by\u00a0Micaela Elle Art Advisory<\/a>, \u201cManna\u201d\u00a0features original work from Southeast artists Laura Deems, Cameron Wilson Ritcher, Jordan Patterson, Melanee Brown, and Christa Collins.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udfa8 The exhibition is inspired by the shared South African Jewish heritage of Daily Chew founder Julia Kesler Imerman and\u00a0Robinson to explore\u00a0how food, family, and tradition sustain us.<\/p>\n

Daily Chew has long worked directly with local farmers and artisans, and this\u00a0program extends that same support to independent artists building careers across the Southeast.<\/p>\n

\u201cDaily Chew has always been about more than food,\u201d Imerman said. \u201cBringing art into that space felt like a natural next step \u2014 a way to celebrate the artists and small businesses that make this community so vibrant, and to create even more reasons for our neighbors to come together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd25 The exhibit will be on display until late November.<\/p>\n

Modeling forgiveness
By\u00a0Jessica Dickson<\/a><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f\u00a0Recently, I worked with a father who told me he had raised his voice when his child accidentally spilled juice on his papers. When he saw her reaction, he realized how he affected his daughter. He acknowledged his mistake, apologized, and made an effort to repair the relationship.<\/p>\n

After he finished the story, we sat in silence for a few moments. I was in awe of his insight, thoughtfulness, and willingness to repair. It would have been easy to double down \u2013 to make his daughter focus on the mistake she had made. Instead, this father took responsibility for his actions. With one simple\u00a0parenting move<\/a>, he modeled several profound ideas: the importance of admitting when you miss the mark, the importance of continually working to do better next time, and, most importantly, love can survive a rupture.<\/p>\n

As we approach the High Holidays and enter the\u00a0Yamim Noraim \u2013\u00a0the Days of Awe \u2013 Jews are commanded to do\u00a0teshuvah, to repent and make amends for our sins. We are not only asked to seek forgiveness from God; we are also expected to ask forgiveness from the people we have wronged. Through this process, we take responsibility for our actions and work to repair the fractures in our relationships.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffc\u00a0There may be no one who needs parents to model this more than their children.<\/p>\n

Conflict is inevitable in families. We will lose our patience, say the wrong thing, or respond in ways we regret. What matters is our willingness to acknowledge our mistakes and repair the harm we have caused, and work hard to do better next time.<\/p>\n

When parents apologize to their children, we teach them that accountability matters, that relationships can survive moments of hurt, and that perfection is not a prerequisite for love.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcc5\u00a0These are important lessons for the High Holidays and beyond.<\/p>\n

Samuel Beckett\u2019s characters may have seemed inert, but he didn\u2019t wait to fight antisemitism<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udca5\u00a0A\u00a0newly published diary<\/a>\u00a0of Samuel Beckett\u2019s extended trip to Nazi Germany in the late 1930s helps to explain why the Nobel Prize-winning Irish author became active in the Resistance movement in Occupied France. Already discussed and cited by Beckett scholars in such studies as\u00a0Samuel Beckett\u2019s German Diaries 1936\u20131937<\/a>, the new book explains how the creator of\u00a0Waiting for Godot, that dramatization of stasis and futility, could turn out to be a man of action opposing the Holocaust and the downfall of German culture. \u00a0<\/p>\n

At a time when only an estimated 1% or so of French citizens dared to assist the Resistance, Beckett was from neutral Ireland, where sympathies were often skewed to the enemies of the much-loathed British. But he risked his life to participate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
