The poor man. Picking the wrong actor role for his stereotype, when Mister Rogers is right there.

From a Jewish perspective, I've got Torah and Talmud and thousands of years of difficult books to read, don't need you for that.

Does that mean you're in charge of the Shteynarts now? I've been looking for the Shteynart manager.

That sounds like it could've been a nice idea (with you involved)! Like some mesh of twitch streaming and news and whatever else would've worked. Sad it didn't work out.

Miriam Shapira-Luria - Wikipedia

unfortunately, all of this on wiki is made up... by the sources.
All we really know about her is 3 lines written by her descendant the Maharil saying she was a Rosh Yeshivah who corresponded with others and taught students from behind a curtain.

my favorite bit of Jewish education history was finding out my greatx24grandmother was a Rosh Yeshivah!

I decided it's cholent. A kosher place made 1 with substitutions and it was... good cholent flavor.

Next time, try 2 liters of seltzer. You will feel stuffed. Bonus: you will burp a lot.

Chabad often does that. The often go around looking for people who need it. Call any Chabad in the area and tell them you're homebound.

I guess you're not in a largish Jewish city. Some places have young guys and students who go around reading Megillah for people.

Sometimes good people try to force equivalence where non exists to try to emphasize a point, and instead it diminishes the point.

Just saw someone say Nazis and Reconstruction both came after recent integration. Except Jews had been integrated in Germany for 1000 years.

The Lubavitcher Rebbe, a Holocaust (and Soviet) survivor, told a Jewish journalist in the 70s that fascists could be back in power "tomorrow morning", and the guy thought he was off the wall.
