Bears Indeed! Driving through Lake Tahoe, California, I spotted this View, and had to stop to snap a picture. I am sorry I cannot adequately credit the business; but I so appreciate their whimsy! Whimsy will return one day soon.

PCH There are few drives which can compare to the Pacific Coast Highway in California. She offers you endless miles of beauty and teases you with possible adventures, daring you to continue a few more miles. What lies down the road?

Arcadia Round Barn Once upon a time, this round barn, in Oklahoma, was the most photographed landmark, on Rout 66. I of course had no idea it existed, or was such an iconic piece of Americana, when we happened to pull over, to photograph it, as we traveled, pre-quarantine, on Rout 66. This is...

To read the story of how my parents met and began their ministry:
“When the barbarians of an age other than ours burned alive the saintly Chanina ben Teradion, shrouded in his Sefer Torah, the martyr bore witness from the flames: ‘The parchment is burning, but the letters are soaring aloft.’ How often, how very often, in Jewish history has the parchment, which is the people, been destroyed; and from the embers has the spirit risen and survived to inspired the scribes of other parchments, Jewish and non-Jewish, and to inspire new and fresh cultures withhold, eternal aspirations.”
“There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
“I know of only one duty, and that is to love.”
“If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am not for others, what am I? And if not now, when?”
“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: “What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”
“Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.”
“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory or defeat.”
“One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.”
