Resentment

“Carrying resentments is like letting someone whom you don’t like live inside your head rent-free.”

Rabbi Joseph Telushkin

Shir Hamaalot October 4, 2018
I have had struggles with my faith, with Judaism, over the last year. But now, even after the passing of the High Holidays, of Sukkot, of Shiminei Atzeret, of Simchat Torah, I find myself drawn back to the Torah, to the words of the sages, the commentators, the rabbis, and the beauty of living in the mercy of Hashem. Because as we watch once more the walls o […]
It is Still Too Hard to be a Working Parent September 12, 2018
It is Still Too Hard to be a Working Parent Opinion: I was a data scientist and mom. Then I had to choose. Source: Why It’s So Hard to Be a Working Mom. Even at Facebook. | WIRED Shanah Tovah, everyone. I hope your Rosh Hashanah was remarkable and moving, and that the Days of Awe are profound. I wanted to break into your journey of teshuvah for a moment to s […]
Evolution July 20, 2018
A question, posed out of respect: If Halachah was fixed and never meant to evolve over time, what is the reason for retaining “minority opinions” in Mishnah and Gemara? View On WordPress
Permission July 13, 2018
I believe that G-d wants us to find the joy in wonder in every moment of our lives. Might it be that the more we give ourselves permission to be in that state of joy and wonderment, the closer we will be to Hashem?View On WordPress
Ch-ch-ch-choices July 10, 2018
(U.S. Air Force photo/Lance Cheung) There are countless points during a man’s life when he is compelled to choose between doing what is right for himself and what is right for others – family, friends, the people you love, your community, your country, and sometimes complete strangers. The correct choice, almost without exception, is to choose what is right […]
The Kosher Cheeseburger July 6, 2018
Rabbi Shai Cherry notes in his lectures that th prohibition against mixing meat and milk only applies to Kosher meat. Of course, that does not mean that cheeseburgers are back on the menu for observant Jews: after all, we’re not supposed to be eating non-Kosher meat in the first place. View On WordPress
Criticize Well June 5, 2018
If you are one of those people who is preternaturally compelled to criticize faiths and the faithful, that is your right (in America, anyway). If you want your critique to be taken seriously, however, try focusing on one faith at a time. Indiscriminately lumping all religions together and then opening fire is lazy, imprecise, often wrong, and readily dismiss […]

Age and Tolerance As I age, I am finding myself turning into a bit of a grumpy old man. I dismiss it as mostly harmless, but sometimes I wonder.
R.I.P. Philip Roth May 23, 2018
Portnoy’s Complaint was a revelatory book for me, not only a point of literary connection to Jews living far away, but also a comforting reassurance that I was not the only one dealing with very deep issues fitting into gentile society. I have two other volumes of Roth’s work on by shelf, and I have yet to read it. I will get to it all eventually, but the gr […]
Freedom May 4, 2018
For most of the Ancients, freedom was freedom from our natural desires and material needs. It rested on a mastery of these deep, natural urges in favor of self-control, restraint, and education into virtue. Andrew SullivanView On WordPress

Be A Great Painter, Asher Lev February 27, 2018
Be A Great Painter, Asher Lev““Be a great painter, Asher Lev.” He was still looking out the window at the sun and the sky. “That will be the only justification for all the pain your art will cause.” Chaim Potok, My Name is Asher Lev I think about this quote often.
