the Tip-Off

Dry Bones, cartoon, age, telephone, mobile, smartphone, texting, sms, seniors,  Back in the seventies I did a Dry Bones cartoon series in the Jerusalem Post called "You Know You've Been Here Too Long When . . ." Those cartoons pointed out the various amusing ways that we newcomers had adjusted to living in our new country. I'm now adjusting to living in another strange new country, "old age".

So I thought of "You Know You're Old When . . . ".

Our Job

antisemites, Dry Bones, cartoon, holidays, Holiday, Jewish Culture, haggadah, Israel, history, generations, continuity, jewish continuity  I really and deeply believe that it is "our job", keeping our history and peoplehood alive for the next generations and for generations to come to come. That's why I've spent the last year on the creation of a very special haggadah that I believe can deliver the gift of Jewish Continuity. You can check it out at a "Mom & Pop store" we've set up online. I'm the Pop and the Mom is the LSW (Long Suffering Wife).
