89.02/ #NachasAlert: my son has a piece (pgs. 2-3) in his high school's Torah journal. The final draft was 3 pages long so this published version was cut down significantly. (Now I get to teach him the academic trick of publishing 'chapters' as articles).

89.03/ This is such a good video, it can be played on an endless loop and it brings a big smile to my face whenever I see it. It's fine while silent but the sound makes it a masterpiece

81.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues. Another all-time favorite: "Big Trouble in Little China"
81.03/ For #CINvsKC, naturally I would like the Bengals to lose and - if it's not too much to ask - by more than 21 so the Steelers playoff loss doesn't look quite as terrible as it did (at least on paper)

73.02/ Find someone who loves you as much as a self-appointed gabbai loves banging on the bimah before shemona esrei to remind us to remember Al-Hanissim (or yell out "Asher Yatzarta!" at mussaf)
73.03/ I must have spent half of my waking hours over Shabbas in shul or benching. And as a synagogue enthusiast, I like the rarity of needing 3 sifrei Torah, but holy schnitzel it takes a long time.

#ChodeshTov everyone! Happy #Elul, the "deep breath before the plunge" (as Gandalf says).

56.02/ Excellent shibboleth action here from Rabbi Ruttenberg, in a benevolent, non-murdery, way, of course.
56.03/ Honored with #haftara yesterday but it had been so long since I last did one that my eyesight has gotten bad enough that I was juggling a mask, fogged glasses, & the too small print of even a full-size Artscroll. And why did Yeshayahu have to make up so many weird words?!
Here is a thread from my Covenant & Conversation essay on #MatotMasei called "Priorities". You can read it in full here: bit.ly/335HhZJ and download the accompanying Family Edition here: bit.ly/2YE0X3o. #ShabbatShalom & #ChodeshTov 
It is hard to think of any other religion or civilisation that has so predicated its very existence on putting children and their education first.
There have been affluent Jewish communities in the past that built magnificent synagogues – e.g. Alexandria in the 1st centuries of the Common Era. Yet because they did not put children first, they contributed little to the Jewish story. They flourished briefly, then disappeared.

#Antisemitism is a complex, protean phenomenon because antisemites must be able to hold together two beliefs that seem to contradict one another: #Jews are so powerful that they should be feared, and at the same time so powerless that they can be attacked without fear.
It would seem that no one could be so irrational as to believe both of these things simultaneously.
#ChodeshTov! During #Ellul I will be sharing some short #EllulThoughts to help us all get in the right mindset as we approach #RoshHashanah and #YomKippur. I hope you enjoy these and find them meaningful. Please feel free to share and retweet if you wish.
These quotes will mainly come from the introductions to my #RoshHashanah & #YomKippur machzorim (published by Koren Publishers Jerusalem); others will come from my two ‘Letters to the Next Generation’ booklets - which can both be downloaded as PDF files from my website.
Here is the link to download the PDF for ‘Letters to the Next Generation: Reflections on Yom Kippur’ - rabbisacks.org/wp-content/upl…
