My article, On the Front Lines: Life of a Hospital Chaplain is in the latest issue of Kesher Magazine. Rabbi Weiner is very inspiring!

Have a wonderful Shabbos, and an easy and meaningful fast!

My two-part story, Friends and Foes, will be in this and next week’s issues of Hamodia’s Inyan Magazine, IY”H. The story is set in besieged Yerushalayim and is based on the midrashim about Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai. Hope you find it enjoyable and inspiring.
