Make Me A Match
We’ve been focused on trying to make shidduchim for many years. After last week’s tribute to three young men who tragically passed away over the last few years, the reactions were varied. More than anything, it conjured up great sadness in many of us. As a follow up, I wanted to do something more upbeat and productive, […]

Zev At 20

By The Book
It was nasty and more than a little antagonistic. Am I referring to a debate at the United Nations? A meeting between the leaders of the U.S. and Iran? Nope.

On The Road Again
Our sages explain to us that concerning the 40 years the Jewish people spent wandering in the desert on their way to Eretz Yisrael, 38 of those years were spent in approximately one place. That means for 38 of the 40 years, the Jewish people were essentially encamped in the same location. Most of those 38 […]

An Unusual Week
Mr. and Mrs. Nudel, a’h This week we observed three major events which I’m fairly certain I’ve written about in the past, though perhaps not as a singular unit. Here’s the important thing. It’s now eight years later. This week, just before we went to press, we observed the 8th yahrzeit of my mother, Sara Rosa basAharon. Next […]
