Baynonim: 2004/08/01 - 2004/08/08

A man in the middle. Saturday, August 07, 2004. Why I like the shteeble vs Why I like the shul. At the shteeble we finish before 11:30, and often before 11; at the shul we sing all the the old songs, and psuke d'zimra isn't rushed. At the shteeble, the rav rarely speaks and when he does his words seldom make me feel uncomfortable or introspective; at the shul the rabbi speaks every week but often with power, charisma and polish.

A man in the middle. Tuesday, November 09, 2004. When last we saw Adam Ragil,. He was approaching the lecturn. At a meeting of the shteeble membership. At this point, I was interrupted for the first or second time. Among the objections from the crowd: We had face-to-face seating in the shuls we grew up in. There's nothing wrong with it. It's not disrespectful. We turned out fine, didn't we? I demanded silence. We've banished whiskey from the shul. Saw his opening "Let's ask the rabbi," he called in his b...

A man in the middle. Wednesday, October 20, 2004. A week of politics on baynonim: Part 2. Go to: Part 1. If you're a swing voter, like me, you're having trouble choosing between the atrocious president, and the atrocious candidate. Do I want to cast my vote for an undistinguished senator, who has no plan for ending the war, saving social security, or developing the economy? If you have an answer I'd like to hear it. Here, again, are the rules:. Not as boring as it sounds. Read on). In the ownership socie...

The rambling thoughts of a Modern Orthodox Chassid (whatever that means). Contact me at emansouth @ aol.com. Tuesday, August 31, 2004. According to Norman Podhoretz, in the September Commentary. As a policy matter I never discuss politics on this blog. I leave that to bloggers far less qualified than I. Nevertheless, I think the Podhoretz article is brilliant and should be required reading.

A man in the middle. Saturday, July 17, 2004. Welcome to the blog. Welcome to my blog, baynonim. My neighborhood has two places to pray. One is a shteeble, the other is a shul. Though I'm a card-carrying Orthodox Jew, and an FFB besides, I don’t really belong at either place. I thought it might be fun to blog about the reasons. Posted by Adam Ragil : 11:20:00 PM 0 comments. Go West, Young Jew. The Small Town Jew. Rivka, the Mom. Back of the Beys. Out of Step Jew. If I forget thee. Eicha at the DNC.

Bird on a mountain: November 2004
http://birdonamountain.blogspot.com/2004_11_01_archive.html
Bird on a mountain. Trying to fly, sitting on this mountain. Tuesday, November 23, 2004. Yunnan Paiyao does NOT taste good. I just got home from my accupuncturist. He told me to dissolve this foul smelling powder in warm water and drink it 8 times in the next 48 hours. And guess what? It tastes just as foul as it smells. I wonder if there are people out there who like the taste? Chinese medicine has some pretty strange remedies. Part of my treatment this evening was burning mugwort. Not a good day.

A man in the middle. Thursday, October 21, 2004. My favorite magazine is having a baynonim moment of it's own. Up to Bush in the months immidiately following September 11, but now the editors have seen enough. Here is the money quote:. I'm not sold on Kerry, yet, but Bush is running out of time. If there are any Bush-supporters in the Readership, please raise your voices in the comment section. Posted by Adam Ragil : 4:06:00 PM. 1 of the many reasons to vote for Bush. A prominent Arafat aide who asked th...

A man in the middle. Tuesday, September 07, 2004. Must find. time. to. blog. Boy, was it busy today. Not to blow my own horn. But I don't think I've missed blogging on a regular weekday since I began writing regularly, back on erev Tisha b'Av. The streak is intact, but barely. Have you ever seen. Do the Right Thing? Our situation is not dissimilar. The Rabbi, for example, wants to say. He people, mostly, do not. The Rabbi wants to read from the Torah and the Megillah and serve as. Boards are set up to ru...
