Is The SREB’s Academic Common Market A ‘Zombie Initiative’? When I dropped out of college, the biggest hurdle that prevented me from returning back to finish my degree was the financial aspect. In 2007, I was in a bad car accident and I received a bit over $10,000 in insurance settlement money. My immediate response to this was not to take a vacation or...

Pennsylvania’s Higher Education Is Not For The Poor Almost 30 years ago I embarked on the exercise of applying to colleges. I had been preparing for this – having scored well on both the PSAT and the SAT exams; participated in the P.E.P.P. program administered by Penn State; and I was on track to graduate in the top 10% of my graduating class....

The Significance of the 11th of Nisan It did not dawn on me until last week that this year is the 15th anniversary of my conversion to Judaism (the second time, via an Orthodox beit din). Yes, it was just a few days before Pesach and things were a bit of a whirlwind. But I was thrilled to go into the holiday...

Social media can be exhausting sometimes. And I am often reminded at why I shy away from saying I am Orthodox - even though I converted al pi #halacha. Basically dude is saying "If you don't promise to be 1000% observant in the mikva, your conversion is invalid.". Ok dude -- ok 👌👍 #JewSky #gerut

Sen. Fetterman’s support of Iran war is a betrayal of our votes for him | Opinion Fetterman has talked about his support for “America First” policies. How does championing an unauthorized war put our country and its families first? ask Mindy Isser and Robert Zayd KiaNouri-Zigmund.

Opinion | Crime that happens in prison is still crime Are violent acts within Alabama's prisons acceptable forms of punishment sanctioned by the state?

Yep! And let's also talk about how #Alabama incarcerates more of its population than any other state. Isn't that at least a little bit concerning? I mean we are talking about people who go to #prison for things like writing bad checks and having drugs in their car. (via @alreporter.com ) #wakeup

Apparently it was a #meteor that made the ‘boom’ and shook my house this morning. Surprising but I also think of how Israelis must feel constantly hearing/feeling what we almost never do! #Cleveland

What a pompous a$$. First thing, not everyone in #prison is a violent criminal - so no victim to speak of except their drug dealer who lost a customer; and second #Alabama not only engaged in excessive sentencing but draconian laws that turn decent folks into #criminals. So please 🙄

Bob & Elvis Are Not Jewish As Jews we have this interesting past time of mulling about the Jewish status of prominent individuals (in fact, there is an entire website dedicated to this subject). I personally find it pretty interesting who pops up for speculation and it is wild to see the ‘traits’ that someone determines are Jewish or not. But...
