My author copies of the book finally arrived and the book looks great!
I’m very excited about this publication.

Sometimes I wonder why we don’t see multiple Israel real estate events a night, five days a week. Make the protesters work hard.

In the days of horse-drawn carriages, horses’ hooves often DASHED mud onto passengers in wet weather.
To block the mud, people installed wooden BOARDS up front.
They called them ‘dashboards.’

Wait, no, we had sports in NYC this week. Don’t tell me we’re going to have it again next week.

I always related to this saying because it punctures the arrogance and superficiality of someone who would criticize Torah. But now that I see the extra layer of accusation — because you’re lazy — I appreciate it even more.

This is mind-blowing. The name of the current war in Lebanon is known in Hebrew as “the war of the ceasefire”

Every interaction I had with Robert Louis Wilken showed his humility and generosity of spirit. When we first met he surprised me by treating me like a close friend. I last emailed him about one of Ishai Ribo’s songs, which he found deeply meaningful. May his memory be a blessing.

In memory of Robert Louis Wilken, who died today from cancer at 89, here, from 2004, is one of his most important essays. It is one of the intellectual touchstones of my life and work. What a great, great man we lost today.

Hot take: If you need milk and sugar just to consume your coffee, you don’t like coffee. Drink a milkshake and pop a caffeine pill.
