Conscious Transitions –

... faint, and he would sit alone in his room meditating. On the eve of Shavuot , the last evening of his life, his disciples gathered around him and he spoke to them about the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai.

Even the Torah devotes a surprising amount of space to meat, its proper preparation, which cuts are appropriate for ...nor factory-raised cows and chickens, nor slaughtering animals in needlessly cruel ways.

Aah, the coffee shop dream

... arguably the greatest stretch of coffee-fueled creativity known to man. This is when every convention of the modern coffeehouse—the many-antlered coat rack, the marble tabletop, the day's newspaper spread Torah-like on bamboo holders—fell into place, and its role as the intellectual sparring ring was cemented.

Flirting with Avodah Zara

... days as a bochur, I strive that they should be spent in holiness and purity, in learning and teaching Torah, and doing Mivtzoim. I strive that I be zoiche to get married in Kedusha to the other half of my... side. In my opinion, this is one of them.

Toldot - commentary from Garden of the Dark Moon Jubilee עַד אֲשֶׁר-תָּשׁוּב, חֲמַת אָחִיךָ until my brother's sisters' viciousness is turned away ...
