some sayings of ר‘משבצונה“ל
For many years I have worked hard, and struggled with mastering virtuous. Now, in addition, I’m working on becoming more virtual.
This is an expression of that effort.

לצאצאיהם All photographs are by Mark Hurvitz unless they are obviously not.
The photos in the banner at the top (only a shallow sliver of a much larger photo) are either from our home or our travels and are offered for their beauty alone (though a brain-teaser for me: “Where was that?”). st. paintings At least three colors of painted messages on the pavement. By the time there are three colors that fit within the photo, none can have any “meaning” what remains is the pattern.
3 pavements Three pavements poured next to each other (contiguous), but not at a property line.

my questions
on the importance of questions
In my haggadah, after we recite the Four Questions, I have a page that begins:
The eldest reads:
Nobel Prize winning physicist Isador Isaac Rabi’s mother did not ask him: “What did you learn in school today?” each day. She asked him: “Did you ask a good question today?”
When our children went off to school I made sure to suggest that they ask good questions.
So how many questions do I have?
This page is devoted to some of them. I have many questions scattered throughout this site. I’ll do what I can to collect them here.
- “Little Jerusalem”
- “The Jerusalem of…”
…and based on what criteria?

Genesis 1:1–2
To see the full size image and those of previous years click the graphic above. I began creating a Web site in my head as early as August 1995 when I drafted the following
For a project I’m pursuing regarding Jewish involvement on the internet and the World Wide Web in particular, I’m interested in learning about any sites about which you may know. For example, do any rabbis have Home pages? Which synagogues or synagogue organizations have Web sites? Does Marge Piercy have a site at which you can read portions of “He She and It”? Does Howard Rheingold have a site where you can learn more about creating a Virtual [Jewish] Community? Is there a Web Camera at the Kotel? In the Wilderness of Zin?

¡warning! This site remains under considerable reconstruction.
Most pages should still be available in their original location. However, I will be moving the vast majority of the old site (static html pages) into the Web 2.0 (blog) site. If you experience any “link rot”, please let me know.
When I initially created this site I organized the material into what seemed to be meaningful categories (in the days before “tags”). But the time came when, it was hard to figure out which link to click if you wanted to know about Sammy Levinger’s (“who”?) death (“what”?) while fighting during the Spanish Civil War (“when”?), though we had visited Belchite the site (“where?”) of the battle where he sustained his mortal wounds. The new tools should make this process easier.
‘//rite on!
