A nice, round number I'm happy to share with you that The Skeptic's Kaddish has reached 6,000 followers! And- I certainly wouldn't have gotten here if it hadn't been for all of the wonderful friends I've made around the world in these last 2½ years; my many poetry partners; and those of you who participate… Continue reading 6,000 – Thank You!
An Israeli tradition On Friday, our daughter's first grade class had their siddur (prayer book) party, which is considered a milestone for Orthodox Jewish children in Israel. Our daughter's school is unusual in Israel in that half the student body identifies as religious (Orthodox) and the other half identify as non-religious (i.e., secular), unlike the… Continue reading Prayer book party ’22

Sure, I thought I might publish the occasional poem, but never did I expect to… Continue reading 4,000 – Thank You!

I have written before about my anxiety regarding whether or not the Israeli government will allow our children to return to school this year after a year-and-a-half of various lockdowns and quarantines... More than anything, I want her… Continue reading Drop, or: Fall

She responded, "Yes, I am, but my father is even more excited." Now, subtlety was never my strong suit, but, to be fair, my wife is also very excited.… Continue reading First impressions of first grade
Friends, Initially, I intended not to mark this milestone for 'The Skeptic's Kaddish' publicly because... well... it rather feels to me like I'm flaunting this achievement. However, I have been seriously reconsidering this thinking because of my strong sense of community here on WordPress. I sincerely hope that none of you find this post to… Continue reading 1,000 – Thank You!
