Eleven Months
My brother Binyomin, a’h, has three great daughters: Perel, Naomi, and Malkie. Let me tell you two things about them. Perel is named after my sister-in-law Sandy’s grandmother.

Beyond his sartorial choices, I’ve rarely encountered a political figure as openly hostile and, shall I say, contemptible as he is. People say all the time that Mamdani bristles with anger toward many groups, but […]

Those Summer Days
It might be the most coveted and enjoyable season of the year depending on which part of the world you reside in. Although it’s summer in the northern hemisphere, it’s winter in locations like Melbourne, Australia and Johannesburg, South Africa, but nothing like your typical New York winter.
