So the Pope is a White Sox fan who was also at a game I attended at the 2005 World Series. He spent time in a monastery in Wisconsin we’d swim across the lake to from the camp I attended. He also likes Aurelio’s pizza. His father was the superintendent of my middle school. We are practically twins!

Words I shared with my community today:
One of the many things I love about being Jewish is playing Jewish geography, and so many of you have told me that you love it as well.
When you find yourself drawn to other Jewish people on a cruise ship, that’s Jewish geography.

As so many of us are, I’m trying to pick which horrendous and anti democratic policies to most vociferously oppose. One unequivocal place I draw the line is when our Vice President essentially suggests that the Nazis weren’t so bad, and that we should give them another chance.
