Hi, Hope you’re having a great day. Don’t worry. I am not going to talk about the Super Bowl! At least not about the game itself. … Just one thing. As sad as the results may have been?

Hi – Hope you’re having a great day! Jews all over the world just celebrated Purim. And we read the Book of Esther, the Megillah. There’s something very strange about the Book. It doesn’t mention G-d. Not even once. Because the Megillah talks about a different kind of miracle. No splitting of the sea like […]
