All set to teach one of my favorite classes.
(See: Washington and the Jews, as well as Jews and American Politics to learn more about the history of the Jews in the U.S.)
Intermission
A flare up of sciatica limits the time I can spend at my desk so I will post less frequently for the next few days.
If you feel chatty, leave topics you’d like for me to address upon my return.

Happy Birthday Israel

The Blog’s New Clothes
We’re reading Parashat Tetzaveh this week, known to a friend of mine as the “Fashion Parashah.” In it we learn all about the priestly vestments that Aaron and his sons will wear.
My blog has been wearing the same outfit since 2010, through 618 posts. I woke up today and decided it was time for a new look. I’m still not sure how I feel about it, but it is clean and readable and I think it will be friendlier for folks reading via tablet and smartphone. If anything about it is acutely uncomfortable for you, let me know. WordPress is a powerful platform, and I have options.
