I was sitting on the curb last Saturday waiting for Anthony and Dan when KAI CHANG came up and asked to take my photo. Here they are and don’t forget to check out more at humanbeat. [...] Doing the math, I was 4yrs old when this was on tv. I don’t care too much for Barbra Streisand, but it is a moving interview and a descent rendition of Hatikva! Happy Birthday Israel! Ah…I am so glad to be classically educated. I feel badly for these kids today, no Latin, no great works of the Greeks and Romans. Yeah they know stuff about Zeus, but quote some Horace or Homer to them and they are lost. Just this week I found myself mentioning certain legends of the Odyssey [...] There is some bad flooding in hoboken. USH is no exception! The basement flooded with about 2 inches of water. I am here cleaning up the mess. This photo of the Star of David on the fence is taken looking out the window from the staircase. Yours truly was on a break and thought it [...] We are such a strange group of people. There once was a man from Belarus who decided to reinvent a language. This man, Eliezer Ben Yehuda, invented Modern Hebrew. Yeah that is pretty much it. He invented it. Some might say resurrect. But see, while this is FREAKING amazing, it seems to be a not-too-uncommon practice amongst Jews. There are some 20+ recognized [...] Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. And I said: ‘Oh that I had wings like a dove! then would I fly away, and be at rest. Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah [...] It isn’t too warm out, but not too cold either. Nice enough to pause for a soon to be spring shot of the fountain in the park. Moed Katan 26a: R’Abba was chilling with some other sages and had to go to the bathroom. He and his homies were laying tefillin so he had to remove them first. He placed them down only to have an ostrich eat them! What a mess. R’Abba said that he is now obliged to rent his [...] I know this might be a complicated question – or the answer might be complicated – but what would Christians be today if there were no Jesus? Would they be more pagan than they are now? Would they be Jews, Muslims, or maybe Zoroastrians? Sometimes it is the simple things in life that come to mind when you are trying to be thankful. This morning I didn’t have any coffee because my alarm clock went off in the middle of the night. I think something happened to the battery. Wait, these 2 things are connected because I overslept when [...] Another fun Dor Chadash event. Idan and I went to Symphony Space to see and hear them perform. Now I admit I have almost no cultural context to properly place these people within. However, I am guessing from Idan’s comments and from the reaction of the audience that they represent cultural or musical superstars in [...] Matteo, my Ducati 749 Dark, and I were were out for a spin today. The gym, then the bookstore, and wrapping it up with a long way home ride along the waterfront. Earlier in the day I saw a while Lamborghini cruising on 6th Ave. What a wonderful and unique car. I don’t know the [...] It would appear that the standard verse for my name – נתן is Proverbs 20:27 נר יהוה נשמת אדם חפש כל חדרי בטן A man’s soul is the lamp of Hashem, which searches the chambers of one’s innards A note in my Tanach says: By means of the soul, G-d searches man’s innermost thoughts and [...] The award winning Israeli author Alef Bet Yehoshua spoke at a Dor Chadash event about his current shtick. You might recall his semi-ill-thought-out comments castigating American Jews about this time last year. Let me try to summarize, he started with 3 definitions… Jew – The traditional and halachic definition is simply the child of a [...] |
