    Number of comments: 4
    A few years ago I made a statement to someone that I could comprehend the Shoah. It was a crass statement. As former areas of Ukraine are opened and more is learned about the Shoah there, the more and more I cannot comprehend. My grandfather left the town of Nemirov [...]

    Glenn Beck is a dangerous nut and one that happens to have his own television show. Why so many people give him any credence is beyond me. He sort of reminds me of this fellow:OratorA great deal of the Fuhrer's appeal lay in his inflammatory speeches attacking Jews, social democrats, [...]

    Why do we do this every year? We do we rid our homes of leavened bread and go to such extremes? Perhaps the answer is in this post. I like this answer as well. For me, the act of sweeping away the unleavened bread is an act of freedom. How [...]

    Since last week, Winn-Dixie has been having a sell on Passover items. The items range from potato starch to matzo. They have been making an effort over the past few years to offer more kosher items. Keeping kosher in Mississippi can be difficult but doable. I wanted to thank Winn-Dixie [...]
