I grew up surrounded by the study of Torah, amidst a constant flow of people coming to learn in our home. I woke up early to the sound of my father’s learning, and I fell asleep to the tune of his laining practice. My father learned with me and my sister on a regular basis for all the years that we lived at home, with my mother encouraging us.  Both of my parents were powerful believers that everyone---boys and girls, no matter what their abilities---should have access to a strong Jewish education.

On Saturday, November 14, tens of thousands of pro-Trump demonstrators as far as the eye could see rallied just east of the White House in Freedom Plaza, Washington D.C., standing in allegiance with President Donald Trump as they marched towards the Supreme Court.

The President, who has yet to formally concede, joined the procession with a wide smile and his signature thumbs up as his motorcade passed through.

Much is discussed and written about leadership. Historically, the Jewish people crave effective, responsible, and dignified leaders. This has been especially evident, again, during the current pandemic, when we hold our breath hoping that a reasonable and proper voice will emerge every time someone speaks on our behalf.
