My author copies of the book finally arrived and the book looks great!

I’m very excited about this publication.

I recently did a Q&A with the newspaper, The Jewish Vues. Links to order the book and read the Q&A to follow

@RonColeman Listen to the episode but more generally, think learning disabilities

Waiting for the morning prayers to start 5 minutes later today because sunrise is getting later due to Daylight Saving Time. If we don’t change the clock to Standard Time, we will have to continue starting later and later.

Even Avraham Avinu’s cattle knew the grass was greener on the other side

They can’t figure out what the Mishnah means so they say: “Let’s go out and learn.” Sometimes you need to leave your comfort zone and talk to people outside your normal circles in order to understand. Sometimes you need to leave the beis medrash. (Yerushalmi Terumos 5:2)

@GavBellino Yes! I debated whether it made sense to say Charan or Ur but decided to just keep it simple and say Ur.

@IsraelTechLaw I’m not sure why AI is part of the question. There is a Mesivta explanation of Tosafos and Mei Menuchos, Yisa Berachah and Artscroll English Tosafos. Should you use these cheat sefarim or bang your head? Ask your LOR.

@IsraelTechLaw If you don’t work at it, you don’t internalize it or retain it. That doesn’t mean AI has no place. It means that effort is an integral part of Talmud Torah.

@MarkK9w8bdmcfh @DBashIdeas The way this country works is that the people who care the most and make the most noise get taken care of

Today, the earliest time to put on tallis and tefillin in NYC was 6:20am. I and presumably @DBashIdeas found it difficult. It’s only getting later until we change the clock! Tomorrow’s 6:15am commuter minyan will have problems.

Standard Time is important for the morning prayers!

@MarkK9w8bdmcfh @DBashIdeas Only the majority is allowed to lobby for their rights? Is that how this country works?
