Josh took this photo of me waiting on the platform of the New Delhi Railway Station with all of our luggage as we learned that the train would be 5 hours late. I was warned this might happen and at this point in the vacation we were both more that used to things [...]

It has been a while since I posted a Talmud tidbit. This is partly because I have been traveling and because work has been killing me. Not since a certain South African took over my company have I battled such usurpers. On top of all this, I am in the midst of Yevamot which [...]

A known anti-war advocate was waiting to get on his flight at JFK wearing a t-shirt saying, in Arabic, “We will not be silent.” It shows the craziness, ignorance, and the great lengths our government is taking to make our skies safe.
