The Right Shul
I know some people who have never been in more than one shul during their entire adult lives. Now that I think about it, I prefer moving around, trying different shuls. Do you think that’s a good idea or not? The fact of the matter is that when I was too young to cross a […]

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.

More Zohran
What I appreciate about Mayor Zohran Mamdani are his crisp, finely tailored white shirts and thin black ties he wears. 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 […]
