I am a Torah Observant Jew (for some - read: "Ultra" Orthodox Jew); a 13th Generation American; and a Student of History and Religion with a bit of Politics on the Side.
I also write stuff and post it.
I mostly post on Quora; Mewe; and Facebook
(I still do it on Facebook but, I am trying to wean myself from that platform.)
I shall probably subject y'all to my scrawls in my Member blog.
“All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless […]
I began writing this on September 14, 2001. I have added on a bit here and there… Every so often, I choke up. Every so often I cry. “I, on the day I am afraid, I call to You, let not the wanton forsakers the precious [Torah] victimize me. Pay them their due, [when you] […]
The American Descent into Madness – Victor Davis Hanson’s Private Papers (victorhanson.com) Because I listen/ watch y’all while doing something else, I seldom com to your website any more – I’m pretty much YouTubing it.But – after reading VDH today (which I just started doing on a regular basis – I’ve been watching/ listening to […]
I posted this on Quora (and here when I first wrote it).I keep on tweaking it but, it has had a constant stream of “Likes” on Quora, more than anything else I have written.I think this is the way to go in defeating the Lies and Insanity of the “Woke”.No one can stand up when […]
Their prayers have been answered. Only the names have changed. Now we call it a Democrat Congress led by Slo Jo and the Vice Pro…
Ki Sissa, the Torah portion this week, describes the sin of the Golden Calf. The haftorah, the section of Tanakh that we read after the Torah reading is Kings I; Chapter 18 – …… 17And it was when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, “Is this you, the one who brings trouble upon […]
I posted this two years ago on Facebook.Rabbi Avigdor Miller is considered one of the Great Torah Sages of the 20th Century.He spoke much about contemporary life in the 70’s and 80’s, taking the portion of the Torah that we read each week and showing how it applies now, to This World…(Kis Sisa, which is […]
In this week’s Torah portion, G_d says: “I will dwell among the sons of Israel…”The simple meaning is that G-d dwells in each and every one of us!Good Shabbos!11th
A rather long winded post on my part… The pictures are of my grandfather, Norman Thompson, and the young King Hussein of Jordan. And – it appears that the tremendous wealth that Hashem has given to the Oil Emirates, plus the relatively new death cult Shia heresy of Iran’s Vilayat al-Faqih, is beginning to put […]
A Memory from 2015: In my last sentence, I reflect:“In a world gone mad in the conflict between the total freedom of hedonism and the death cult fanaticism of Islamist ideologies, Jewish Law remains a source of both reasoning and inspiration.” This is true and…The Great Arab Muslim Sectarian Civil War continues apace but, some […]
Twenty Below tonight in Minnesnowta! Life is Beautiful All the Time!
In this week’s Torah portion, Mishpatim, it is written:“Do not be a follower of the majority for evil; and do not respond to a grievance by yielding to the majority to pervert [the law]….Distance yourself from a false word… Do not accept a bribe, for the bribe blind those who see and corrupt words that […]
This question was asked on Quora.I answered (contrary to nearly all other answers which said “Don’t”): Why not? Can it hurt? Might it help? Look – if there is G-d, then He is the Creator of All and Everything and is Great enough that He knows YOU personally better than you know yourself. If He […]
What the heck. I write. I might as well post stuff I write here. This is a memory from Feb. 18, 2019 Life is Beautiful All the Time…After spending a wonderful week in Lakewood; celebrating with all of my children and grandchildren; and, not incidentally, doing repairs and odd jobs at each of their places […]
