Happy Valentine’s Day.
I remember that my school disallowed us bringing in Valentine’s Day cards for our classmates. No, it wasn’t an economic issue- it was the purported connection of the holiday with Saint Valentine.

Valentine’s Day? That’s what everyone says it is.
Except, in my tradition, this was a day celebrated by others. Given the official name for the day as “Saint Valentine’s Day”, it should surprise no one that it was not part of my routine. A child going to yeshiva (a Jewish [very] religious school) is not to be considering any day involving saints as pertaining to them. (That’s true, regardless of Hallmark’s yeoman efforts to make us all forget that first word of the celebration.)
Today is Valentine’s Day.
I grew up with this being a day celebrated by others. After all, it is “Saint Valentine’s Day” .(I know that Hallmark has been working overtime to make us all forget that first word in the title.) And, a child going to yeshiva (a Jewish [very] religious school) is not to be considering any day involving saints.
