Story of the Week:
As I walked down the busy footpath, knowing I was late for an important meeting, my eye fell upon one of those unfortunate, homeless vagabonds that are found in every city these days. Wearing what can only be described as rags, carrying every worldly possesion in two plastic bags, my heart was touched by this person' s condition. Some people turned to stare. Others quickly looked away as if the sight would somehow contaminate them. Recalling some long ago Sunday Cheder admonition to "care for the sick, feed the hungry and clothe the naked," I was moved by some powerful inner urge to reach out to this unfortunate person. Yes, where some people saw only rags, I saw a hidden beauty. A small voice inside my head called out, "Reach out, reach out!" So I did..........

Tragic Story of the week:
Obviously the shooting at Virginia Tech has dominated the news this week. However, I wanted to specifically mention the bravery of 76 year old Israeli Professor Liviu Librescu, who blocked the doorway of his classroom with his body (allowing his students to escape through the windows) and was shot dead by the crazy gunman. Professor Librescu survived the holocaust. He refused to swear allegiance to the post war communist regime in Romania, and thus ruined his career there. He was only allowed to leave Romania in 1978 after a personal intervention by the then Israeli Prime Minister, Menachem Begin. He survived the Holocaust but was killed saving the lives of his students, in a classroom in Virginia, ironically on Holocaust Remembrance Day, 2007.
Most of the stuff in this blog is total shite, but occasionally, things happen in the world, that make you take a step back and realise what is truly important. Professor Librescu definately deserves a mention in this, my year of writing the blog, as his heroic actions really touched me, and his death saddened me, this week.

SPECIAL ONE OFF FEATURE:- JJ's First Theorum on proof of the existence of G-d
"Last week's discussions were dominated by Dan's dastardly deeds. My proof of G-d's existence is that if you take every poker player to have played in our game, only two (Dan and Ilan) have the letters ANAL in their full name. So there you have it, G-d does exist as such a coincidence requires an all-seeing eye and He has a sense of humour. "
And on that note, after a short blog this week due to baby feeding duties/lack of sleep (gonna be like this for a while !), that's all for this week.
