Get Taxi App / Joel Chasnoff Comedy Show
Argh. It’s not yet 7 AM and I’m awake. I was also awake before 6 AM which is probably a result of being asleep by 10 PM. If I had milk for my coffee, I might feel differently right now but both makolot (convenience stores) next to my apartment are closed. What fun is it [...]

Come Out and Laugh….If You’re an Adult
Hello, my loyal readers! Are you excited for July 4th, American Independence Day? Or as England calls it, “the nakba.” I’m keeping two days myself; does anyone know a good egalitarian minyan with a mechitzah and hamburgers? Just remember the important historical lesson here: no taxatzia without representatzia. If you happen to be in Tel [...]
