The Meaning of Home

To me, home is way more than just the place you go to bed at night; it’s a place where you feel safe, happy, and loved. It’s a feeling, like the warmth of a fireplace against your skin. It’s a taste, like the savoury taste of a Shabbat dinner. It’s a smell, the smell of freshly baked brownies. It’s a sound, the sound of a cool breeze outside. And it’s a sight, the sight of my family, sitting together in the living room for family movie night. So no, home is not just a house… for if you’re lucky enough, your house will feel like home.
