My Supernova
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "My Supernova."
Years ago, there was a time when I rebelled against religion, Judaism, and G-d. It was my version of running to the Supernova Music Festival, where I could dance and party to the music under the desert sky. I was young, and probably like many others, went through a stage when I wanted to express my freedom and independence.
On October 7, of the almost 1,200 people massacred that day, 364 were at the music festival. No one can say why anyone lost their lives, were brutally tortured and raped, or were abducted by these radical Islamic terrorists that day—it was pure evil—but like me missing Rosh Hashanah years ago, people at Supernova were also misplaced from the holy Shabbat services and the singing and dancing with the Torahs for the holiday. This is a kind of Jewish tragedy.

Putin: Will He Stay or Go?
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Putin: Will He Stay or Go?"Perhaps Putin dodged a bullet today, but we'll see over time if he continues to be so lucky and who is ultimately right about Vladimir Putin's future: will he be whisked away to some Siberian gulag or will he continue his absolute reign over Russia and its people and continue his war for Soviet-era power and dominance?

Do NOT Wash Hands
This was a funny picture that my wife took at the Department of Commerce cafeteria.
It's a drinking fountain and says: "Please do not wash your hands. Thank you."
So somebody wrote underneath it "here."
And somebody else crossed that out and wrote "ever."
I guess people are fed up with all the signs reminding them to wash.
Seems like we have a hygiene rebellion on our hands! ;-)
