I am going to tell you a story. “It is a tale as old as time.” No it is not Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. It is the Haggadah, the Hebrew word for “telling.” This is the story of a Passover meal. There is an order to this meal, a Seder (order). The night before … Continue reading BY HIS STRIPES
How DO WE remember
It’s a practice When you think of the word practice, can’t you hear Allen Iverson’s rant, “Practice, we are talking about practice.” The word gets a bad rap. I think of all the times my mother would tell me, “Go practice your piano.” I would rather go to the dentist. Practice - to carry out … Continue reading How DO WE remember

THE GIFTS OF THE MAGI VS THE SCORN OF THE SCRIBES
They were the Magi of the east. They were stargazers. It was their job to read the stars and tell the kings what the stars were saying and foretelling futures. In our day we would call them astrologers. One night a new star appeared, and they knew it meant a king had been born to … Continue reading THE GIFTS OF THE MAGI VS THE SCORN OF THE SCRIBES
