Shalom and welcome to my blog.  This is my blog where I speak my mind on current issues and events in the Jewish and Israeli world and in our community.  I am an out of the box thinker and look at life differently than most.  Some of my views are controversial.  You may find yourself nodding your head and agreeing with me or yelling, screaming and throwing voodoo pins at me.  Either way you will be challenged and inspired in a thought provoking manner.  Enjoy and feel free to comment.
