““I’m going to do a Torah reading in six months.”

“I’m leading the Shabbat service on Friday and have a speech the Saturday when he’s going up to the Torah. I’m so excited for the experience. Learning about our Bar and Bat Mitzvah teaches us about our past, and how things rolled out to be what they are today. It’s really cool to see how things happened and then connect them to current experiences.”

“And the best part is we get to do it together!”

“Have you done a lot of things together?”

“We shared a womb!”

“We’ve spent every day of our lives together. I feel like sometimes there’s a lot of competition, because we’re the same age, but we get along really well. We think alike sometimes.”

“She guesses the numbers in my head!”

“But I never realize he’s my twin brother; I just know he’s there. I only realize he’s my twin when people come up to me and say, ‘what’s it like having a twin?’ I really don’t know what to say because it’s just so normal for me. There’s never been a time he wasn’t there. Except for two minutes.”

“She came into the world a whole two minutes before me!”

“Best two minutes of my life.” ”
