I got Yoreh-Yoreh from a yeshiva, but Make-ItSo from Picard. Jewish stuff and occasionally Star Trek. Seforim lover. I would write more if I had more self discipline.

Today is Sigd.
Celebrated by Ethiopian Jews as a holiday, it marks 50 days from Yom Kippur. Celebrants fast in the morning, read scripture, and have communal gatherings and celebrations as part of the break fast.

A census taker comes to a Jewish man's house.
Q: Does Moshe Cohen live here?
A: No
Q: What's your name?
A: Moshe Cohen
Q: I thought you said Moshe Cohen didn't live here?
A: You call this living?

A Rebecca jar.
The vaguely Mediterranean form, the Egyptian-style lotuses, and the inclusion of the Hebrew name "Rebecca" hark back to ancient times and the story of the biblical Rebecca at the well. (1897, Great Britain)

Amazing that a grown woman would decide not only to pick on some children, but then brag about it in public.
What's next? Is she going to brag about how she beat up kids in the playground? Maybe push some middle schoolers into a lake?

The coverage of the NYC mayoral race is just more proof that we need to get the media to not all be concentrated in one city.

I submitted a paper where I quoted Targum Pseudo-Jonathan. (AKA Targum Yerushalmi). Apparently, recent scholarship has shown it to be a product of 12th century Italy, and not ancient Palestine.
I feel both cheated, and like I'm going to be a major know-it-all the next time a rabbi quotes it.

I'm watching a Baltimore city zoning hearing right now (riveting, right?) and they're trying to decide if a sukkah counts as a temporary structure and therefore needs a zoning variance.
