According to Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Kotzk God gives us the capacity, through holiness and commandments, to know God in ways beyond the imaginations of the philosophers.

For a guy who is generally unhinged, this is one of the most unhinged things ever “Build bigger armies or I’ll sic the neighborhood bully on you.”

Republicans becoming the pro-Russia party. Does not compute for us 80s kids.

My religious school students created Prayer Monopoly (they answer questions about the Amidah.) Note that the salary for rabbis (+$500) is higher than for cantors (+$300). Love these kids.

If someone wanted to give me a fellowship to get a PhD in Judaic Studies here at Pitt researching Hassidut in the Peshisecha and Kotzker and Amshinover schools of thought I would not say no. Adir Yolkut

Looking for a word in the Zohar via Sefaria | Free Virtual Jewish Library and it only comes up once and it's in a Sefaria sheet of your good friend and teacher, Adir Yolkut .

Listening to a seminar at American Jewish University on the incredible shrinking rabbinate. The takeaway: this is a very hard job, it is unstable, it is somewhat thankless, it might not be not a great financial decision, and the future is very cloudy. My response: yup! shira telushkin

My mom was editor of the school paper. Her teachers thought she was one of the brightest kids in the class. She became a public school teacher in LAUSD and worked for 37 years, all in minority and low incine neighborhoods.
