Tisha B’Av and the Three Weeks
July 29, 2012Good things really do come in threes
June 28, 2012When I first met Jessica she introduced me to a kind of superstition that I was not really familiar with — that things come in threes. Good things, bad things, you name it. If there are two, you can bet a third is around the corner. And we have certainly had our shares of threes: […]
Four Weddings and its Funeral
May 14, 2012Quite often, Jessica and I post about things we are having at our wedding. This post is about something that won’t be.

After covering the basics (our Hebrew names, our parents Hebrew names) […]

During our visit we went over the set list, going through which Jewish […]
This is a Jewish wedding, after all
June 14, 2011On Sunday, Jess and I went to Coolidge Corner in Brookline, MA to work on some of the Jewish details of the wedding. In addition to stopping at Rami’s so we could use the best Groupon ever for some falafel, we made a stop at Kolbo and The Israel Book Shop. The purpose of our […]
