Suddenly, this once-dependent woman finds herself making Kiddush. Leading the seder. Speaking to her sons’ rebbeim. Suddenly, carefree children find their home altered forever. Sons have no father to learn with. Daughters have no father to care for them.
Yet the one challenge that dwarfs the others is financial. When a widow can’t buy groceries, or when there’s a turnoff of eviction notice, or when a child can’t get new clothes, it’s as if they lost their husband and father all over again.
