[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 701764, member: 1963"] Aw Esther, I am sorry you are having such a rough time. We lived in a third floor apartment in a not so great neighborhood in Chicago when I was growing up. We had a Sukkah a couple times on the fire escape, but neighbors used to delight in throwing rocks and or firecrackers at it , so we gave it up before someone burned the back (wooden) part of the building down. I never enjoyed the family festivals either. I understood Yiddish, which the older relatives didn't know, and of course, children were not supposed to really interact with adults, which left me with my sister and my cousins, many of whom were quite a bit older than I was and rather hateful.
