Oh, it’s so good to have you back! I savored every word you wrote. I missed you. That was a very insightful and thoughtful essay for today, and what a s**tshow day it’s been. The folks I follow on The Bulwark, all of the Principals, set my hair, what’s left of it, on fire! Thank you very much for putting it out. I’m glad you’re up to writing again. 😊💕✡️🎉

I think a little fire is ok. But you’re right that there needs to be a balance. Glad I could help provide that. And thanks as always for reading (and responding).

Thx for sharing. My partner is going through pancreatic cancer right now, and while we would praise HaShem for a miracle, we are ready to accept His will, no matter what.

So sorry to hear. Would your partner like their name to be added to my healing prayers?

“Biology and theology go hand in hand.” Joining the Amen chorus, Rabbi. Another miracle is the way and what you write.
