I Am Back
Just when you thought it was safe to come back to Hashem’s House, it is. And I am back and I am blogging once again. Actually I am here in Austin at New Horizons, a computer training facility, with my web design team. At 5 pm we will hand in the revised and great...

More Miracles Than I Can Count
Dear Ones: I haven’t posted in a while but it is not for lack of miracles and wonderful things to report. It is more because my retirement has been retired due to lack of interest in being retired…and I have really been busy. I am attending lots of classes about...
What the World Needs Now
Dear Ones: Up at about 8 am and reading the last few pages of Maryanne Williamson’s The Age of Miracles. Great read. Had just read her discussion about spending the money we are spending on war on hospitals, schools, feeding the hungry. Realizing she is right that...
Taking Time for Tea

And Now the Days of Awe
Dear Ones: Somewhere between Rosh Hashanah and Shabbat Davide and I left the synagogue to show our lovely faces at a benefit for AIR-Austin, the non-profit group who are getting www.hashemshouse.org back on the internet. AIR stands for Austin Internet Rally which will...

Torah is the law of the Land of Israel and of the Nation of Israel, even in the Diaspora…even here in Texas. The Sages in the Midrash further explain the Five Books of Moses, the Torah, the stories that help us understand the Torah text. Each Torah portion, called a...
Passover, 2008
Recently I mailed my tax papers to my accountant back in NJ. Now, I know that that doesn’t sound like anything great…but believe me, it is. This is the first time, since the accident in London, almost seven years ago, that I have been able to get my taxes done by...
