You and I will never see eye to eye
And I refuse to believe that
We can fix the world around us
I know one thing for certain
That all we really need is love

Google It!
In a recent conversation with my daughter, she mentioned that there was a smell coming from the drain in her dishwasher. She was cutting up orange peels because she was out of lemons and was planning to run through a cycle with the hope that the scent of the peels would remove the odor. I immediately suggested that she Google the
Yeshivat Migdal HaTorah—A Hidden Gem
I still remember when Avi was accepted to one of the best hesder yeshiva programs for his post high school year(s) of learning. Avi was an honors student (and athlete) at TABC and felt that his hard work had paid off. Some would say it was a “no-brainer.”
However, there was another yeshiva
This Old Fax
I think it’s time to get rid of our fax machine. I’m talking about my family, but I guess I can be talking about society. Why not? Though I’m not sure we can get rid of it unless everyone else agrees to do so. We’d have to get everyone on the same page. Which is ironic, because when it comes to fax machines, the page they

Cuomo, last month issued an order temporarily barring Governor Cuomo from enforcing strict restrictions on the number of people allowed at houses of worship. In a 5-4 decision, the court determined
LIU Hudson Introduces MBA Cohort For the Observant Jewish Community
Professor Michael Stone remembers his years at City College of New York, when he and a group of Orthodox Jewish students would meet on campus to socialize after class, and then quickly head to RJJ (Rabbi Jacob Joseph) Yeshiva on the Lower East Side to be on time for shiur.
“That rush
Advice to Past Me: An Alumnus’ Story
I have a lot of advice for Past Me, but if we’re playing the time-travel game, I’m going to be practical: Invest in Zoom. Go to Notre Dame before the gargoyles are all gone. Don’t go so fast on your bike down that hill on Booth Avenue. Plan more zoo trips before March 2020.
