A friend of mine forwarded me an email with a PowerPoint presentation of photos from Jewish life in Poland. It was a fascinating glimpse into the life of yesteryear. One of the slides featured a photo of a family visiting a grave. The inscription on the tombstone read,
"A righteous man who led a life of good deeds, who lived from the fruits of his labor all his years, who died young, who was a giver of charity, the worthy one."
The words gave me pause as I reflected upon what I would like to be written about me. And I realized I should work on myself to be worthy of the words, "who led a life of good deeds."
