91. Location, Location, Location!
March 24, 2010
I returned to Van Cortland Park today for the first time since the winter began. A four and half mile walk is, well, a walk in the park compared to an hour on a treadmill. (On My Terms) It’s not simply that I can fool myself into believing that I burned more calories when there is no monitor measuri...

92. The Purity of Clarity
March 02, 2010
Rashi on the portion begins by describing the meticulous process that was necessary to produce the oil for the Menorah. The oil had to have the purity of being clear, without sediment.: They would choose olives from the top of the tree that had not grown with other olives pressing on it. They had t...

93. Where's Moshe?
February 22, 2010
In December 1974 the Austrian economist Friedrich August von Hayek received one of the first Nobel Prizes in economics. Hayek titled his speech “The Pretence of Knowledge.” Concluding his speech, he warned, “If man is not to do more harm than good in his efforts to improve the social order, he will ...

94. The Study Partner
February 19, 2010
I recently took out a sefer – holy book – that I studied in the summer of 1980 in order to certify as a Shochet – a ritual slaughterer. I was surprised to find that it was a far more enjoyable study and challenge than the first time. The book is highly technical and my chavrusa, or study partner, at...

95. Stairs & Ramps
February 15, 2010
After spending two years walking with Canadian crutches, and then a walker for a few years, I look at stairs and ramps with all sorts of mixed feelings. I used to look up at even just a few stairs with dread. Ramps were a reminder of my physical limitations. Exhausted at the top of stairs, I had a s...

96. Highs & Lows: From The Diary of A Former Slave
February 05, 2010
It’s very difficult to keep a diary while moving so much and so quickly. So much has happened since I last wrote in you that I haven’t been able to update you. Sorry!
I can tell you about the locusts, darkness, the Pesach Offering, rushing out the next morning, and, hopefully I will. But my ...

97. Hail To The King! From The Diary of A Former Slave VII
January 27, 2010
I once watched a drunken man running down the street in the rain, weaving from one side to the other. When I asked him what he was doing, he responded, “I’m running through the raindrops!”
I’m not drunk. I’m not even running. I can walk, even stand between the hailstones. They just won’t fal...

98. Job Descriptions
January 20, 2010
The Sages teach us that the Egyptians gave everyone jobs at which they were not skilled in order to increase their frustration and prevent them from having any sense of accomplishment. How did the Sages know?
The Foundation Stone™ did some serious research on this issue and found an interest...

99. Evil Exposed At Its Highest
January 13, 2010
We have left many questions unanswered in The Future, The Mouth, Back To The Garden and The Informant. A few people mentioned that they are frustrated when I leave unanswered questions, and end a post with To Be Continued. I apologize. My intentions are to allow people to reflect on the issues and h...

100. Weinberg's Snow Removal Service
January 06, 2010
I don’t have to go to the gym today! It took more time for me to shovel the snow than I would usually spend in the gym and I certainly burned enough calories. In fact, although my muscles ache and my back is sore, I enjoy shoveling snow (without Pip’s help. See Silence) more than using a treadmill. ...
