Dear Readers,
I have moved my blog to Medium. Please follow me there. Below, are links to my most recent posts:
Is Silence More Evil Than Evil
Excerpt: What we need to understand is how these “leaders” of evil gain momentum, snowballing such that their lies and canards convince the minions to carry out their desires and execute their violent wishes. The answer to this question, and, in my opinion, the core root of the spread of evil, is the apathy of the silent majority.
Does Alexa Observe Shabbat?
We have been fascinated by Echo and voice activated Alexa. Naturally, it became a topic of discussion at the Shabbat table as my children were explaining to our guests how Alexa works. My son Chaim innocently said to the guests, “So you just address it as Alexa and it listens to you.” As soon as he said the word Alexa, the now familiar blue light, turned itself on and Alexa was listening for commands.
The Wood Lulav Holder
Some 15 years ago, my friend and colleague Benji Pushett walked into my office carrying a long and narrow tan wood box. It looked like a something a pool shark would keep his cues in. Smiling, he said, “this is a present from my dad for you for Sukkot.”
