You might know it’s not a regular week in Israel… but do you know what it’s called?
Take a guess in the comments 
Not sure?
Comment THIS WEEK and I’ll send you a video lesson that explains it all — and teaches you the Hebrew you need to talk about it too!
I finally wrote my reading reflection for The Slave by Isaac Bashevis Singer, which I read a couple of months ago. It is a beautiful book, sad, haunting. I’m glad I read it. Of course, the whole time I was reading it I was thinking about Jews currently in captivity and how this seems to be an inescapable part of our history.

Decades later, I began researching and rescuing Kirschen's forgotten computer games and software for the Apple II, Atari ST, Commodore Amiga, and IBM PC.

Over the years, he and his wife Sali graciously made time to talk with me and send material related to his software.
I'm proud to have published histories on it for my blog, Emory University, the Internet Archive and Juiced.GS.

Sad news: "Dry Bones" cartoonist Yaakov Kirschen has died.
https://www.jns.org/dry-bones-cartoonist-yaakov-kirschen-dies-at-87/
I first encountered Kirschen through his "Mom and Me" and "Murray and Me" graphical chatbot programs (received from my uncle Jim when he handed down his Atari ST to us in the late 1980s).
Kirschen's work on "Mom" and "Murray" was profiled in-depth by the NYT, LAT, and others.

According to Rashi, the Plague of Frogs during Passover "was only one frog, but when they struck at it, it was split into many swarms."
So if you want a biblically accurate Seder, I suggest you get a frog piñata and fill it with frog shaped candies.
Seder for Breakfast on the First Day of Passover
1) Eat the meal (without talking for two hours beforehand)
Holy shit: Someone tried to burn down the #Pennsylvaia governor’s residence overnight while #JoshShapiro and his family were asleep. Shapiro and his family, who are #Jewish, had just celebrated #Passover there.

Arsonist set fire to Pa. governor’s mansion during Passover causing ‘significant damage’
The Governor of Pennsylvania’s Official Residence was set on fire by an arsonist. The Governor, Josh Shapiro, is Jewish and this happened during Passover.
This is truly disgusting.

This is as #Jewish as I get, folks. Live it up. 
True story: one of the first comics I ever drew as a kid was "Santa Flies Over a Jewish Neighborhood" and it was all anti-aircraft fire and dead reindeer hanging in the traces. I can still see Santa gritting his teeth, his beard whipping in the wind, as he whips the reindeer onward.
My wife is 100% into preparing tonight's #Passover dinner. I keep trying to let my assistance rise from 0% 
. We and a few visiting family will enjoy quite the feast, without the religious aspect.

Anybody know the oldest known recording of the song Kholemen Khaloymes? Planning a version of my own. Would like to hear the "original" if it's out there. Maybe @carkner or @yiddishwordoftheday would know? #klezmer #yiddish #jewish

#SandySprings passes restrictions on #protests, #canvassing and engaging with others without permission
Hayden Sumlin, April 4th, 2025
Excerpt:
"Police Chief DeSimone said the personal encroachment ordinance would assist public safety in Sandy Springs. He cited a case recently where two individuals silently walked across the City Green during the Oct. 10, 2023 'Stand in Solidarity with #Israel' vigil wearing 'Arab headdresses with two #Palestinian flags that walked into the crowd.'
" 'My guys had to grab them pretty quick and get them out of there; this ordinance will help us do that because they walked through there for only one reason, to intimidate,' DeSimone said.
"Councilwoman Reichel asked DeSimone if that meant his department, 'would arrest someone just for walking through a group of people?'
" 'Yes,' the police chief answered. 'If they were walking with a Nazi flag, under this ordinance we would arrest them. Palestinian flag, we would arrest them. Because they are doing it for only one reason and that is to intimidate the Jewish community.' [But it's okay for #ElonMusk and others in #Trump's circle to use Nazi salute? HYPOCRITES!]
"Councilwomen Reichel and Kelley pushed back on his comments about the ordinance and Palestinian people.
"At one point DeSimone asked Reichel, who is #Jewish, if she would consider it harassment for someone to walk by her with a Palestinian flag at a pro-Jewish event.
" 'I don’t think that would be harassing me. I mean, if they came up to me and started getting in my face or started pushing me, or started to physically touch me, that is harassing, yes,' she said. 'But I do believe in the #FirstAmendment and I believe in freedom of speech.' "
Okay I downloaded JVP's disgusting monstrosity of a haggadah. Posting some highlights in this thread as I read through it.
EDIT: after going through it, I realize this is the 2018 version, which is most prominently displayed on their site. I wonder what 2025 holds!
