In the year 5784…
may we embrace the potential of each generation of seeds to transform the fields of our planet for good. May these seeds yield growth, blessing, repair, and peace.

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.

which jews…?
I found this image on a crazy anti-Zionist site: to which I answer: All are Jews! I am not a racist. The site may also be anti-Semitic, it sure feels that way, but I’ve not had a chance to study it thoroughly. What is Zionism? … Continue reading
