    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.

  • 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.

  • All photographs are by Mark Hurvitz unless they are obviously not (or credit otherwise is given).

    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?").
