41. Reasons: Joyful Mourning
August 08, 2011
I have heard people explain the Holocaust as the expression of God’s anger with Reform Judaism, which began in Germany. That would not explain why the Germans massacred so many more traditional Jews, or why Poland and Hungary were burned by the fires of the concentration camps.
People are de...

42. Captions: Reading The Kinot
August 01, 2011
The black and white photograph of a tree covered in snow is magnificent. It is even more powerful than a color picture. The stark contrast between the light and dark allows me to experience the chill of the snow. I can almost feel the powder that could be fresh white buds, in my cold fingers. ...

43. The Story of Khalid the Kind
July 25, 2011
Long, long ago, a lone traveler set out to cross the Sahara Desert, heading north from Timbuktu. Days passed and he made steady progress on the road to Marrakesh. On the eighth day of his journey, the traveler was set upon by a ferocious sand storm. The wind lashed him without mercy and confused his...

44. Hearing the Voice
July 18, 2011
“He came there to the cave and spent the night there; and, behold! The word of God came to him and said to him, ‘Why are you here, Elijah?’ (I Kings 19:9)”
“The word of God came to him and said to him, ‘Why are you here, Elijah,” sounds like, “They heard the Voice of God, the Lord, walking i...

45. Beyond Room
July 11, 2011
I just read “Room,” by Emma Donoghue and haven’t been able to stop thinking about what happens when Room opens. Room, totally enclosed except for a tiny skylight, is the entire world of Jack, a five-year old prisoner who lives in Room with Ma. Room has everything Jack needs and desires, and Ma and h...

46. Things Change by Prof Gerald August
July 04, 2011
Things changed in this week’s Torah reading. Miriam died. Moses was told he would not lead the people into the Promised Land. Everything changed for the Children of Israel.
How do we handle change? Things don’t always remain the same. And that can produce confusion, pain and debilitation. Bu...

47. Seeds of Light
June 27, 2011
I have self-diagnosed yet again. It seems that I suffer from Cryptomnesia, or, unacknowledged memories. There are times when I am inspired by an idea that was long ago planted in my memory by something I read or heard. The idea is not truly mine, but it certainly feels that way. (Jonathan Lethem pla...

48. Fighting With The Laundry
June 20, 2011
Ever since I saw my father zt’l washing his Tzitzit, I have washed my own. Please understand; my siblings and I would battle each other for the merit of serving our parents and cleaning for them. The only things we were willing to just stand back and observe was my father preparing my mother’s Shabb...

49. Kvetching - The Blame Game
June 13, 2011
There is a complex in Switzerland known as CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, where something called the Large Hadron Collider has been sputtering into operation. Its purpose is to discover whether a hypothetical particle called the Higgs boson (called by some, “The God Particle) ...

50. To Grab or Grip
June 10, 2011
“In man the most precise function that the hand is capable of is to place the tip of the thumb in opposition to the tip of the index finger, so they make maximum contact. In this position small objects can be manipulated with an unlimited potential for fine pressure adjustments or minute directional...
