Oranges, Scallions and Jelly Beans

There is a misconception among many Jewish families that the most authentic Passover Seders are those which follow the ancient text of the Haggadah line by line, word by word.

And that somehow, when we omit the "boring parts" or try to make the Passover Seders more fun, we are somehow cutting corners or "cheating."

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Media,Time and Freedom 

Earlier this week, I was in Manhattan to attend a series of meetings, and on the way home, my train was forced to stop as it waited for the train ahead to clear the tracks.

This is usual for those who live on Long Island. Trains halt for many reasons.

What was interesting this time was the exact location of our train.  We were stopped directly in front of a large high rise...Read more...

Where God Truly Dwells 

The Talmud, our collection of ancient laws and legends, tells the story of a man who walked the streets mourning the collapse of his marriage. 

"When our love was strong," he opined, "we could have lain together on the width of a sword. But now that we are not strong, a bed of one hundred feet does not suffice for us."
(Sanhedrin 7a).

It's a sad but often true story...Read more...
