Judith – Hanukkah’s Wonder Woman

December 10, 2020 /2 Comments/in , /by

Judith – Hanukkah’s Wonder Woman The history is murky, the action would be rated PG16 for the violence alone. But a city in lockdown, a fearsome enemy and a woman of valor saving the day? That, right there, is the stuff of inspiration. My grandson Dan, who was learning about Hanukkah in kindergarten in preparation […]

July 4, 2020 in , /by

Justice and the Time of Sycomores Between the waves a few weeks ago, Arik and I braved the outside world and took a stroll along the Lachish Stream Park in Ashdod. Sycomore trees along the path were bursting with fruit, and so Amos the prophet came to us. It was the same day I cried […]

June 7, 2019 in , , /by
