On this All Hallows Eve, the dogwood outside my window stands bare, and I’m thinking of many who have passed on, including a dear former colleague who died yesterday morning. Life is so vulnerable.
All of us go down to the dust, yet even at the grave we make our song: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

No matter where I go, what latitude, what continent, what ocean is nearby, whatever the weather or the season, the coastline is consistently my happy place.

If the Trump administration wanted to oppose antisemitism, they could start with themselves. They are trivializing the concept of antisemitism, making it meaningless — and that is a terrible antisemitic action.
