There are many significant milestones in a person’s life.

This past week, my wife and I reached a new milestone: We became grandparents! So, …
There is the voice of right – and the right to voice. The so-called rabbis of T’ruah have neither. Their credibility is shot as soon as someone looks at their “About” page. Perhaps the only really credible and non-controversial part of their description is where they correctly point out, that …
