Older dyslexic brother born in Chicago on date of Ernest Hemingway’s death intended to do an adult bar mitzvah yesterday. (Haven’t heard yet how it went.) We attended the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Unity Temple in Oak Park during preschool/primary years. Lived in a modest apartment in a nearby working class neighborhood, not Oak Park. He converted to Judaism as a middle-age adult after years of studying the Bible seriously as a young adult, first as a charismatic Christian convert, then as a philosophy and religion undergraduate major, followed by MBA. His history. But his dyslexia (and shame and rage) was our family’s history, too.
