Chaim Wieden
Thank you, Daddy. Dien Shaindle
At what age did you learn the difference between a carburetor and a piston? When did you know the difference between a Phillip’s head and a straight head? When did you learn the difference between the mambo and a samba? Were you ever given the advice to always frequent the same local businesses, and gas stations?
Were you ever given the courage to build something substantial, like a stage for amateur performances, including the electrical needs of said stage? Minor fixes for a washing machine, how to use a hammer and nails? What about how to change a tire? Use the mirrors on your car; how to make a three-point parallel park, how to successfully make a u- turn; when and how to shake hands? How to run a business? Why being a Kohen is both an honor and responsibility?
Dad had a great sense of humor. My dad loved to dance. My dad invested his time and energy throughout my life, insuring I learn or become aware of, the important things in life, these are simply a very few of those things.
