A DAY IN THE LIFE: Estelle the Jewish Grandma.








1) The grandma is always cooking for her friends and family for the sustenance of her kinship is of the utmost importance to her.









2) Sitting before the meal discussing the importance of the day of atonement for Judaism, Yom Kipper.












3) The spread of food that she made for the pre-fast meal. Presentation is a big concern for her and how the food looks is just as important as taste.













4) She reads from the prayer book.













5) This is her praying before the yartzeit candles which symbolize dead family members including her husband.
















6) This is how she passes the time in between cooking meals, a daily ritual of crossword puzzles.
