Keeping My Past From My Present
Act of ‘Chesed’ helps struggling University Heights family
A post titled Jewish Actor Michael Douglas and Family Turn Their Celebrity Into Serious Philanthropy caught my eye this morning. While I would have no problems defining Michael's father as Jewish, I don't believe Michael's mother was Jewish, and, as such, according to Orthodox Judaism, he wouldn't be recognized as Jewish. So, either the site which posted the article accepts the definition of the Reform movement as who is Jewish or I am misinformed about the actor's mother's roots.

Always listening
Matt Novak writes about listening devices in an article titled The FBI Can Neither Confirm Nor Deny Wiretapping Your Amazon Echo.
We live in a world awash in microphones. They’re in our smartphones, they’re in our computers, and they’re in our TVs. We used to expect that they were only listening when we asked them to listen. But increasingly we’ve invited our internet-connected gadgets to be “always listening.” http://paleofuture.gizmodo.com/the-fbi-can-neither-confirm-nor-deny-wiretapping-your-a-1776092971
How many of us have read the above article and have decided to change the way we speak, knowing what we can say can be eavesdropped by others? How many of us have read Pirkei avot ""Know what is above you — a seeing eye and a listening ear" and have resolved to change the way we speak?
Harvard’s clueless illiberalism
Ellen Futterman offers her best wishes to a Chabad rabbi in an article titled Suffering Seniors; Kudos to Rabbi Novack.
Congrats to Rabbi Hershey Novack, co-director of Chabad on Campus, who is being honored as one of America’s most inspiring rabbis by the Forward, a national Jewish newspaper. His name will be included as part of a larger list published next week by the newspaper, honoring these rabbis for their charismatic leadership within the local Jewish community.
According to the Forward, “In a time of growing secularization and general anxiety about the country’s future, (these) leaders are swimming against that tide and giving their communities a sense of strength and purpose. http://www.stljewishlight.com/news/news_schmooze/article_d5606e1a-1788-11e6-87a0-1782ac322c4e.html

One nation un indivisible

In the week that a video is aired of a Hillary Clinton supporter introducing the Presidential candidate by stating, "only Hillary can bring us together as one nation un indivisible with liberty and justice for all," those who read the Torah portion of the week in the diaspora will be reminded numerous times about the word she omitted. Click here and count how many times the phrase, "I am the L-rd your G-d" appears in Parshat Kedoshim.
