Hosting Guests And Guesting Hosts

Malkie Hirsch
By Malkie Gordon Hirsch
Shabbos is always busy around here and this week was no exception.
Today was my mother’s birthday, and since I got remarried I find myself hosting things like I used to, prior to our three-year hiatus.
The way this Shabbos came about was a bit unusual, but it still provided me with the chance to reopen my home the way it used to be. At times, though, I still feel like I’ve gone through a pretty intense identity shift when it comes to hosting events in my house.
