Last night, I fell asleep watching “America’s Got Talent,” which has to be the worst show ever created (and I love these types of shows). In the morning, I was awoken by Sophia calling for me from the bedroom. It sounded like a cry for help. “Neil! Neil” she yelled. I rushed upstairs, and saw […]

Have you ever found yourself feeling like you’re going a little insane? I don’t usually talk about these things, but you’re all my friends and Google doesn’t spider everything so it remains on the internet forever, so I’m safe, right? On Mother’s Day, I posted a video of ABBA singing “Mama Mia.” I thought it […]
I don’t trust anything I can’t understand.  Today, I did some searching for some information on Kabbalah because I’m still curious on why it’s so attractive to so many big-name celebrities here in Los Angeles. I found a website in Israel that supposedly helps explain Kabbalah. In one post, the writer of the website gives […]
The paparazzi were out in force as Britney Spears went to the Kabbalah Center on Robertson. I’m much more interested in whatever is in the bag. I didn’t know they have a bookstore. Do they have Judaica? Do they serve coffee and muffins in the bookstore (kosher, of course) or just Kabbalah water? Have any of my […]
It started out innocently. A message on Twitter. A meeting in Central Park. Lunch at a kosher restaurant on 38th Street. I had never expected to see my brother, Avram, again. When he left the Yeshiva and moved to California, he was considered dead, and my older brother, Shimon, prohibited me from having any contact. […]
I sometimes forget that I met my ex-wife Sophia online, not on a dating site, but on a long-vanished forum on LA Freenet, an experiment in free internet service in Los Angeles. Our first conversation was about children’s books. I said my favorite was Curious George Goes to the Zoo. Â She liked The Little Prince. […]
I’m sure Martin Luther King Day is going to inspire many posts today, and each one will be different, and reflect the writer’s own interests, whether it be race relations, politics, or religion. Martin Luther King makes me think of morality. The civil rights movement of the 1960s was all about morality, a clear case […]
Lay-up, foul-shot, block that ball! Read this book and learn it all. Page by page and you’ll go far Be a star like Kareen Abdul Jabbar! Alas, it never did come true Perhaps Scholastic I should sue.
Vartan, my father-in-law, was taken to the hospital last week. The Cedars-Sinai Hospital emergency room was too busy at the time, so he was taken to a nearby hospital which is nowhere near the caliber of Cedars Sinai. Sophia was nursing a cold, so I drove down by myself to the hospital to see what […]
There was some discussion about Sophia coming to New York for Rosh Hashanah, but I said I wasn’t in the mood, because when she is here, it requires a big readjustment in my mind, so we ended up being separated during the holidays — again. I was home with my mother during Rosh Hashanah, and […]
