Oops!
I can’t believe it! A huge milestone!
At least I don’t forget my wedding anniversary. I did however, forget my one year Blogoversary. I am a week late…
This blog began last year on December 8, 2008. At the time, I had no idea that if anyone would ever read a single word I published. I am [...]

One Year Anniversary
KCET Visits PJC and Interviews Me
KCET (the local PBS affiliate) has been working on a city-wide project. It is called Departures and it focuses on the people and places that make the neighborhoods of Los Angeles. For the last six weeks they have been working on Venice. Today they came to the Pacific Jewish Center Shul on the Beach to [...]
Matisyahu, NBC and The Olympic Winter Games Make A Great Team
I first heard of Matisyahu while working as a Campus Rabbi at USC. The Jewish students on campus were really into his music (this was ~5 years ago) and some of my students invited me to join them at a Matisyahu concert.
He was performing at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood which was right near my [...]
President Obama’s New Hardware: Nobel Peace Prize
Wow, two semi-political posts in a row. For a non-partisan blog that is a lot.
But once again, it would be impossible to ignore this elephant in the room.
Optimistic at best presumptuous at worse, President Obama’s recent Nobel Peace Prize award really pushes the envelope of credibilty.
Today’s Sign The Apocalypse Is Upon Us
Yesterday morning I received a blogging gift.
Sometimes there is just not much to write and that’s every bloggers worst nightmare. I had a few things that were on my mind that I wished to share but none of those ideas fermented into anything worth posting.
I love blogging and I think it is important to supply [...]
Authentic Judaism and Authentic Charity
This post is really two Public Service Announcements.
Please read both and if you are able to help in any way possible, it is much appreciated.
One great thing about blogging is the opportunity to connect with other people for the sake of an important cause. Today, I present you with two important causes.
Book Review | The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook
Yesterday I flew from New York to Los Angeles. We got to the airport just under 3 hours before our flight. This is a direct result of missing a few flights in the last few years. We always err on the side of caution.
I stopped in a Hudson Books to peruse the available reading material. [...]

Elul Begins With A Warning | Anonymous Bloggers Take Note: Google Knows Your Every Move
A little while back I contributed a decent post to DovBear that generated an impressive response from legions of commenters on DovBear. The post was a comparison of anonymous vs. onymous blogging.
I argued that by blogging about important things anonymously, they are less effective and only perpetuate the near censorship of right-wing Orthodox Judaism. Some [...]
Jewish Blog Round-Up #225
Another week, another Haveil Havalim.
This week’s round-up is hosted by “How To Be An Israeli”. A number of excellent blog posts from the week that was are linked.
An excellent job all around.
My Book Review of DovBear on the Parsha is mentioned with a very nice comment:
Rabbi Fink talks of being swept away by DovBear’s passion [...]
Onymous Blogging
This post has been cross-posted to DovBear. – more discussion there.
Social Networking has been around for a long time. The term is nearly two centuries old and the concept perhaps 30 times that.
With the internet explosion around the new millennium social networking became all the rage on the world wide web. MySpace and others blazed [...]
