I never used to make a point of reading the social and personal columns of The Jewish Chronicle. In fact, I didn’t read much of the paper at all but, entering the realm of the lower middle aged, my interest developed in surprising ways. I’m not sure whether I was prodded by a greater sense of my own mortality or whether I simply lost my bearings but I started to read the obituary reviews therein and started to better understand the sheer breadth of the Jewish experience.Read more…Ten Important People Of The Twentieth Century

Since Orwell’s 1984, politics and it’s talking heads (and I don’t mean the defunct 80’s one-hit wonder) have long been labeled “big brother”. Especially in today’s atmosphere of vastly opposing political opinions where so much attention is fixed on big brother’s every tic and twitch, very little attention is paid to his momma. The media has become such an all-encompassing force in our daily retinue, indeed into the very fiber of our lives that it’s treated like just another mundane phenomenon, very much like the weather or the outcome of a rumor about your neighbors; in other words information is received, and barely digested before being tossed aside.Read more…Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin Dies

What Americans can give to the victims and heroes of 9/11 is not all that different than what they gave after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941. The nature of the offense to America is so radically different than it was on those who perished at Pearl Harbor that it requires a great deal more careful thought and discernment. The enemy that caused the events of 9/11 is positioned throughout the world and in the most cowardly way remains largely in hiding. They are empowered by hatred and the perverted notion that they are killing others for God.Read more…The Watch Power
One of the most usual reactions a person has when another asks what time of the day it is, is to look at one’s wrist so as to take a look at the small portable clock displaying the time. Frequently watching time, or better yet, looking at a wrist watch or wall-hanging clock to find out how much time one has left before performing an action, is a common practice, found in all time-conscious societies.Living in today’s fast-paced world, time is being regarded as a luxury, as well as a threat.Read more…Watching vs. Enjoying Time
Ever since the wristwatch became the most common type of watch–worn on the wrist and safely fastened with a watch strap or watchband, which is usually made of natural or synthetic materials like leather, metal, nylon or fabric–time has reasonably gained the title of it being omnipresent. Watching time is not a recent practice, neither is its power over our daily lives. What seems to be of recent descent is time’s ability, especially in the eyes of time-conscious people, to surpass its own, human-manifested mostly, dimensions.Read more…Remembering Our Mentors
