An Empty Seat At The Seder
I’ve written a lot about my brother Binyomin and the fact that he passed away almost a half year ago. It was just a few days after Sukkos, after we had celebrated a beautiful and long yom tov in Jerusalem with a big part of the family. He had not been well for months after they discovered […]

At least now we don’t have to worry about any more paralyzing snowstorms since the worst appears to be behind us. That is, unless another monster nor’easter is planning to head our way in the upcoming days and weeks. Full disclosure compels me to admit that we escaped to Florida before the blizzard hit, so […]
