Max's Kosher

Nice Pastrami sandwich with cole slaw.

Hot dog on a bun. 

Crispy sweet potato fries. 

Too bad Max's Kosher Cafe in Silver Spring closed.  :-(

Someone Pimp My Ride, Please

Talking about a bare bones Jeep. 

Ain't nothing left here, but this skeleton. 

Yes, it's gutted, but it still drives! 

This is the anti-luxury automobile.  ;-)

Never Truly Alone

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Never Truly Alone."

Alone, in the quiet.

There is pain, suffering, and loss.

Anxiety and depression.

But wait, there is also faith.

Never Truly Alone

Help The Handicapped

Seeing this wheelchair was a reminder to me to:

• Always try to help the handicapped. 

Life is tough on everybody, but when you have a disability, it can be even harder. 

It doesn't take much to see or ask if there is anything you can do to help someone. 

Just the gesture alone can go a long way to making people feel valued, cared about, and that they are not alone out there. 

We all need help sometimes, so why not help others?  ;-)

Leadership With Heart

 
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Leadership With Heart."

“Leadership with Heart“—you’ll see this as my byline for my Times of Israel blog, and which I also use daily under my signature line in my professional emails. To me, it represents my goal of becoming a leader and doing it with a “lev tahor” (pure heart), represented as much as possible to others through good thoughts, words, and deeds.

In terms of impact, I was pleasantly surprised recently when at least three different people came up to me after I did or said something, and they responded with something like, “Oh, I get it. That’s what ‘Leadership with Heart’ means in your tagline.” I can’t tell you how happy that made me to hear that. I wasn’t just saying it, but acting it, and others noticed it positively.

View from Starbucks

This was a nice table view from Starbucks in Potomac. 

Beautiful little brick courtyard on the side. 

Tables and chairs outside and in. 

This one had this great little pink flowers on the table. 

Happy Sunday!  ;-)

7 Rules of Life

An Army That Sings and Dances

Please see my new poem in The Times of Israel called "An Army That Sing and Dances."

Holy warriors that turn their gaze upwards to our Heavenly Father.
In joy and tears.
By song and dance.
With an uplifted heart and a yearning soul.
Soldiers of the Holy Land.
They stand before G-d Almighty.
Ready to lay down their lives in complete faith.
The Redemption is here.
Just open your eyes.
Oh L-rd, return us to the Promised Land.
In joy and tears.
By song and dance.
With an uplifted heart and a yearning soul.
To serve You, and only You.

An Army That Sings and Dances

David Slays Goliath

This video clip is totally awesome:

David standing up to and killing Goliath. 

Faith over fear. 

With G-d, anything is possible!  ;-)

Sprinkling of Jewish Wit and Wisdom

 
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Sprinkling of Jewish Wit and Wisdom."

Jews are well known for their sharp wit, humor, and wisdom, which, of course, is thanks to the blessings bestowed on His people by Hashem. In the article I share some recent Jewish tidbits.

Hyper Lips

These were some pretty big lips at CVS.

They literally stretched from one aisle to the next. 

I'd like to see the lips open and hear some words come out like where the sales are at!  

Even just some daily blah, blah, blah.  ;-)
