Presence

A few good posts I've read in the past few days:

- I See Dead People - Dan Rabinowitz details the arcane history of dead Rebbe cards. It's posts like this that make me thank God for the open distribution network that is the Internet.
- Searching for the Middle Ground - Jewboy contemplates his son's future education. I feel much the same way about this topic.
- The Names of God and Biblical Criticism - approaching the Torah as a narrative (as opposed to a historical) text offers a better explanation than a documentary hypothesis approach. It's things like this that I think the Rav was talking about when he said modern biblical scholarship didn't bother him.
- and finally: Vote Torah - now that I understand that it does actually make a difference, make sure to vote in the WZO elections.

Have a Good Shabbos!
