Monday, June 11, 2012. During Passover and Succot Jerusalem is subjected to an unsustainable influx of American religious Jewish pilgrims. It is these two holidays of the Jewish calendar when American frum. And inflated priced and oversized etrogim encased in fine silver, in hand. These and other unsavory thoughts were going through Fred’s mind one Shabbat afternoon after Passover during the counting of the Omer. When Fred first arrived in Israel as an oleh.

Tishma: Kaddish
http://drshael.blogspot.com/2012/08/kaddish.html
Wednesday, August 15, 2012. Now the neighborhood was a hodgepodge, a microcosm of this troubled world with rows of taxis parked on side streets markers where the drivers lived. Indeed, times had changed and the synagogue was in sync with the neighborhood like a couple growing fat together never really noticing their changing contours. How could I ever refuse my mother in law! Sitting patiently in the back of the room decked out in my tallit and tefillin, waiting expectantly to recite the kaddish at any m...

Tishma: April 2012
http://drshael.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 26, 2012. Did he have promise as an artist, writer or intellectual? Although Moshe Posnitz never interacted with me in a socially meaningful manner, he did relate to the elderly Mrs. Liebschitz who shared his other wall with him. Moshe Posnitz, sandwiched between the elderly Mrs. Liebschitz and me. What a thought! Would I still be living here, in these primitive conditions, alone in the world when I reached his age?

Tishma: May 2012
http://drshael.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 24, 2012. Raising Cain At Shiloh. The owners of the small house, Blossom and Fred had contracted the one armed builder, Froika two years before in what appeared to be an impossible task: To build a three-room house out of a one room 19. How will he be able to unroll building plans tightly wound like a spring, spread them out and keep them from springing back like a slinky with only one hand? 8220;We will do what Jews under attack know how to do best”! Skeptical as Fred and Blossom were, one...

Tishma: July 2012
http://drshael.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 9, 2012. Big Fish in a Small Pond. Sitting in his courtyard admiring a magnificent but modest dwelling that Fred and Blossom built after innumerable heartaches and aggravation he began to wax philosophical. How lucky can a man be, to have found a soul mate and together with some imagination and chutzpah create a Garden of Eden here on earth, in Jerusalem, the center of the spiritual universe, in the middle of a Farsi slum? Is there anything in creation that is truly perfect? Educated in the ...

Tishma: Fork in the Road
http://drshael.blogspot.com/2012/09/fork-in-road.html
Monday, September 10, 2012. Fork in the Road. Ben had considered the option of not showing up; he was in no mood to face the dean and the dreaded consequence he must bear for demonstrating such an awful lapse of judgment. What difference did it make? He was convinced that he was being dismissed. And for what? For having convictions, Ben asked himself. What was so terrible about believing in something so strongly that he was willing to go to the wall? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Educated in the Un...
