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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

A March 10 – 11 survey by Public Policy Polling reveals that a majority of Republicans in Alabama and Mississippi – states with primary elections last night Tuesday March 13 – believe the President of the United States is a Muslim. Forty-five percent of Republican voters in Alabama think Obama is a Muslim, while 41 [...]

This Wednesday night, March 7, marks the beginning of the Jewish festival of Purim, commemorating the events of the biblical Book of Esther in ancient Persia (now Iran). The wicked Persian premier, Haman, plotted to wipe out all the Jews (sound familiar?) but was ultimately thwarted. Purim falls into the “they tried to kill us, [...]

A few weeks ago, I signed up with a program called Partners in Torah. It is run by that fabulous adult Jewish education organization, Aish HaTorah. [1] The premise is quite simple. People who, for various reasons, cannot get together with a study partner to learn Torah, Jewish history, Hebrew, Talmud, Halacha (Jewish law), and [...]

It is a sad day indeed when someone poaches your nanny. Let me say right off the bat that I’ve been extremely lucky with all of the nannies I’ve hired over the years for Exhibits One and Two when they were mere tots. Each one better than the next with not a clunker in the [...]

Just when I barely got my mind around the fact that my son, Exhibit Two, was no longer five years old and was, in actual fact, a teenager… he turns 20!! (My son with his sister, the lovely Exhibit One) It seems hardly fair, to my mind. For those of you who think that you [...]
