Exhibit Two Gets Aished! (Exhibit Two at Aish HaTorah in Jerusalem earlier this month) A bit of explanation is in order. Aish = Aish HaTorah. [1] Aish HaTorah is an apolitical network of Jewish educational centers in 35 branches on five continents. [2] Aish is all about Jewish education and kiruv… drawing Jews closer to [...]

One year ago, yesterday, May 17, 2011, I created this blog, the Kosher Samurai. One year ago, today, I published my first blog article, set out below. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I prefer to spell it bl*g or bl*gging. I have some strange aversion to the way the word is usually spelled. Not sure why. I just do. [...]

Do you ever get the impression that there are people out there who just can’t wait for the world to go to hell in a handcart? Whether it is a complete socio-economic meltdown, a total financial collapse, a global political conflagration or a good old-fashioned 3rd World War… do you get the feeling that there [...]

Today is Star Wars Day, for obvious reasons. [1] Here are a couple of Star Wars related photos that have tickled me over the past year or so. For me, Imperial Stormtroopers are a constant source of fun! I love nerd humour! Yoda is also good for a few laughs. We’ve all seen Star Wars [...]

He is taking part in the Jerusalem Fellowships program for three weeks, studying at Aish HaTorah in Jerusalem as well as traveling to various other places as part of the program.

Ever been within earshot of elderly people when they are in mid-rant? I don’t know what happens to older people when they reach a certain point in their lives. Perhaps old age loosens inhibitions, kind of like drugs or alcohol but without the knowledge that tomorrow, everything will be back to normal and you’ll be [...]

A few weeks ago, I broke down and got a Twitter account. One of the things I’m following on Twitter is a series of tweets called Life After Z Day. The premise is elegantly simple. The Upcoming Zombie Apocalypse has smacked us in the face like a bloody severed hand. Despite things hitting the fan [...]

There was a point in my innocent yet not too distant past when I had dreams of tending bonsai trees in my home. I saw myself as a kind of Mr. Miyagi in The Karate Kid, carefully pruning and bending, shaping and creating the tiny tree over time into a work of art. I was [...]

The other day, I received a series of text messages from my son, Exhibit Two, asking some questions about preparing for The Upcoming Zombie Apocalypse. Me being a ‘Noted Zombie Expert’ (in addition to his dear old Daddio), it was only natural that he come to me. I put this question to him… a question I [...]

Sadie’s is on the northwest corner of Portland and Adelaide streets. One block east of Bathurst and two blocks south of Queen Street West. My [...]
