A Selfie at Mount Sinai

Facebook Shaddow Next Tuesday night at 2:23am I hope to be sitting up and wide awake on a chair in my living room.

Next Wednesday, I plan on eating some dairy Blintzes & Cheesecake.

No, these are not my Facebook Status Posts or latest tweets, in fact I will be officially taking a break from social media and technology for 48 hours next week in the middle of the week. Instead, the above activities are actually connected to an important refresher course I plan on attending next week.

You see, next Tuesday evening, we begin celebrating one of the important but less famous Jewish Holidays. It is known as Shavuos, and it falls seven weeks after the beginning of Passover, but for some reason, it is a little less known, although it is no less important in t… Read More »

Last Saturday like every other Shabbat, my kids woke up and began playing and enjoying breakfast while I studied and prepared for Shabbat Services. Usually they all like to take turns at joining me or my wife for the walk to Shul, with some joining me each week to get there early to finish the setup and some coming with my wife a little later on.

What I love about these thirty minute walks are the special conversations I get to have with my children. In those short and private walks we spend quality time and talk about the week that passed, the things that are on their minds, and anything and everything else.
