I thought I'd make some little tzedakah pouches.. I've never seen a little pouch for it before, but I know it's helpful in terms of my own bag to keep it separately contained?

In honor of Leonard Nimoy’s 93rd birthday, I’d like to shine a light on a couple of his lesser known roles: those of Rashi and Maimonides, two great Rabbis in Jewish history.

Nimoy hugely influenced me not only by his portrayal of Spock, but through the ways he showed the world his Judaism without fear, and with nothing but love and pride.

Happy heavenly birthday, Mr. Nimoy. May your memory be a blessing. 🖖🏻

A Brief Note to Gerim, Converts to Judaism:

Y'all are some of the most commited, knowledgeable, active members of your communities and I love you for it.

You're not a Jew because of an accident of birth, you chose to be a Jew. I can't think of anything more Jewish than choosing to be a Jew, as an adult, with full knowledge of what that can entail.

I didn't have to choose it. It was given to me, with little effort on my part. You had to work for it.

I hope you feel the love I'm trying to send to you because it is sincere and heartfelt.

Don't let the momzers grind you down.
