Rearview Mirror
With Pesach behind us and Orlando, at least for us, in the rearview mirror, I can say it was truly delightful. And as I told my friends, Dani and Eli, it truly was the ultimate Pesach. Coincidentally, that is what they call their Pesach programs, as these endeavors are known. Here in Orlando, where we […]

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 […]

The Need To Know
Here in the U.S., it’s just a bit more frustrating when events in Israel happen over Shabbos or yom tov. A woman who lives near us here in Florida says she has a grandson in Gaza, so she keeps her radio on over Shabbos. I don’t remember which war it was, but my dad once left […]

At least now we don’t have to worry about any more paralyzing snowstorms since the worst appears to be behind us.
