Last Tuesday afternoon, the first of our own next-gen came into the world weighing 8 lbs 4 oz, 21" long, and sporting a bodacious pair of lungs. Chaya Zissel Braun (z"l).

See, here's the thing: lots of people talk about family values. They talk about two-parent households, what kind of parents make up two-parent households. They t...Had t...

http://wifelyperson.blogspot.com/2015/08/general-disgust.html

Between the stabbings at the Pride Parade in Jerusalem, the firebombing of a Palestinian home with the residents asleep inside, and the garbage spewing out of the mouth of the Clown Candidate Cavalcade, I cannot just pick a topic and go with it. Quite the opposite. I have four opening lines, and I don't feel like writing about any of it. We That's a BIG word. כל ישראל ערבית זה בזה. All Israel is responsible one for another.

http://wifelyperson.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
The Wifely Person Speaks. Monday, November 24, 2014. I had planned to write about the kitchen tonight, but I cannot. It seems so frivolous when held up against the events of this past week. The kitchen can wait. Photo: Kobi Gideon, GPO/Flash 90). But on the morning of November 18th, as a group of Orthodox men were saying shacharit Amidah. What about Zidan Sayif?

The Wifely Person Speaks. Monday, July 27, 2015. My very first blog. Entry was about Tisha b'Av, Israel, and me. You can go back and read it if you want, but it's pretty straight forward.

The various rabbis pretty much tell non-Orthodox Jews to donate their US dollars to obscure kollels. Photo credit:MARC ISRAEL SELLEM). Of kids wit...
