Week 188 below. 189.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues. Tonight, the sequel to Knives Out: "Glass Onion (2022)." Both movies are great and this one has one of the best portrayals of the vibe of the pandemic/2020.

Week 187 below. 188.02/ #MotzeiShabbasMovieNight this week was "The Freshman (1990)" - a very underrated comedy - because my oldest was home for Shabbas and he is a first year in college.

Week 182 below. 183.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues. We decided to show our kids "Toy Story 1 (1995)" again because - despite seeing it a few hundred times as young kids - they've forgotten much of it. The graphics are rudimentary, sure, but its still great.

Week 181 below. 182.02/ My niece is a student at Leffell HS. This is both horrible and now commonplace. This is the experience of nearly every American Jew, that "anti-Zionism" is just a handy cover and code-word for rank antisemitism.

Week 170 below. 171.02/ I highly recommend this article by @havivrettiggur. It's a very astute analysis of the situation in Israel, the fallacy of the anti-Israel paradigm & why the Israeli Left collapsed after 2000 & where they are now. timesofisrael.com/hamas-does-not…
