Missing Moshe
For us, these seven years have passed swiftly. For his five beautiful children, no doubt these seven years have felt more like an eternity. The memories of that day—as well as the shock—will live with us forever. Moshe Hirsch, our son-in-law, at just 39 years old, departed this world way too soon. Nison making a […]

In fact, while it’s the name of a Yiddish publication of the past, today’s Algemeiner is shiny, new, and making an important and vital impact on the Jewish world, and even the non-Jewish world. Though they are celebrating their 12th annual gala […]

Hostage
A few days ago, I finished reading the book by former hostage Eli Sharabi who was held by Hamas for almost 500 days under the most inhumane conditions. His riveting story of being held prisoner underground in Gaza is both difficult to read and impossible to put down. A few weeks ago, I wrote about […]

Fly With Me
Here are some notes and observations about flying, which for the most part, is mostly about biding your time in airports while watching the screen near your boarding gate, waiting for any updates that will keep you waiting longer than the expected delay. We’ve come a long way from five years ago, when you had […]
