As part of a ritual we created to say farewell to our foster daughter, Dafna, below is the story of my family's history of fostering across the generations, from escaping the Nazis to offering shelter to teenagers fleeing Vietnam. We read this during the goodbye ceremony.

"On this night, as we gather in our narrow places, / how can we not mourn the loss of our dear ones,
those in captivity, those gone,
those no longer our friends?"
