I'm not big into getting brachot from holy people, but I would make an exception to get a bracha from one very holy Jew, Agam Berger.

I'm so old I remember He-Man from the 80's. Back then she wasn't so bad, they just called her Lyn.

When I was young, if I didn’t need to work, I’d probably have just stayed in bed all day.

Work pushed me to overcome my fears. I'm a better person because of it.

Now, some want Universal Basic Income - “free money.”

On the one hand, this is wonderful and commendable, on the other this business does more than $1B in sales annually

Shlomo decorated the mikdash far more than the Mishkan. Where those decoration decisions his own? Did he have carte blanche or where there limitations on how he could design things?

This is directionally correct.
I spent shabbos with a YU rosh yeshiva. I pressed him on the return of prophecy and if we should be actively pursuing it and he was literally speechless

I think Judaism is stagnant because there are no accepted thinkers anymore willing to say anything new, but regurgitating thinkers from the past, maybe forming some kind of synthesis. We hope some thinker in the past will save Judaism. Ramchal is not going to save Judaism.

How fortunate are the jewish people to have a treasure like prof. Yonatan grossman. So excited for this @ShabbosReads

Ok, @ModernTalmud i see you

Hashem told David that David’s son would build the beit hamikdash. Why didn't Hashem ever tell Shlomo to do that?

@HilzFuld In the age of instant AI apps why not have potential olim upload their resume/LinkedIn and the app can match them with companies in israel looking to hire?

“Growing up in Jerusalem, I was surrounded by incredible flavors, spices and food that told stories. I wanted to bring that same feeling here, not only for the local Jewish community, but for all of South Florida.”

Chef Raz Shabtai and his team celebrate as they learn that their restaurant, Mutra, earned a Michelin star.

Mutra is now, after only a year of operation, the first and only Kosher restaurant to have earned a Michelin star in the world.

Mazel Tov to everyone at Mutra!
