Tomorrow night Sharon
will not be sleeping in her
bed. And I will not know
what time she finally comes
in, or if she comes in, or
where she has been, or whom
she is with. I feel frightened.
She is too young. She's not
ready.
I recall the blessing a
father makes at his son's Bar
Mitzvah, when he praises
God that he has arrived at
this day when he is no longer
responsible for the moral ac-
tions and education of his
child. "Barooch she-petarani
." "Praise be He, who has
released me from the respon-
sibility of this child."
I let her go, I am no longer
in charge. It's her life now.
Early next morning, Sha-
ron, Brian and I stand
around the butcher block is-
land in the center of our
kitchen, drinking freshly
ground coffee and eating
bagels hot from the oven.
Sharon smiles shyly. No one
says much. Her father loads
her boxes and baskets into
the car.
"Hurry, I don't want to be
late." Sharon nudges us.
In the courtyard, Brian and
I pause, grab Sharon's arm.
"Wait a minute. Come
here," I say.
We pull her towards us and
stand in a circle, our arms
slung around one, another's
waists: we called this a
"hug-all-together" when the
children were small.
Brian places his hands on
Sharon's shoulders; I lay
mine along her soft cheeks.
Embarrassed, she looks down
at the pebbled cement of the
courtyard.
"May God bless you," says
her father.
"And bring. you peace," I
say.
The three of us climb into
our Toyota, back out the
driveway; and drive Sharon
off to college. Ready or not.

New York, (JTA) — Jews
in Cuba face no discrimina-
tion, but the lack of teachers
and rabbis for the tiny com-
munity points to a precarious
future, a leader of Cuban
Jews told American Jewish
leaders here.
Since the revolution, some
85 percent of the island's
Jews have emigrated, leaving
a population of about 1,000
persons, mostly in Havana.
The same five synagogues
that existed 30 years ago still
stand although they are sus-
taining very serious physical
deterioration.
