It’s vacation time, and my children and I are enjoying spontaneity, lack of formal schedule, exploring places we’ve never been to, painting their rooms, and just spending lots of time together as a family. I haven’t had much time to work, but some articles were published this week, though the one in The Tachlis Magazine I wrote week ago: Being Jewish in Tokyo (page 48).

Two articles in Jewish Home LA: on Israel advocacy on campus at University of California, Irvine and on Los Angeles volunteers in Israel helping feed the poor.

Have a wonderful Shabbos!
