I also have more first cousins who divorced each other than many people have cousins to begin with, fwiw.

I've thought about this all week and I came to the conclusion that minus all the wanton executions, Don Corleone is just an admor running a chassidishe hoif, iykyk.

One of the things about being in college with people who are more than a decade younger than you is that when they talk about something being of its time, or of a different era, that era may very well be the premodern year of our lord 2008.

The part that makes it the best movie of all time? I'm not trying to be contrarian, it's an ok movie! But I'm not getting the hype.

Finally trying to watch The Godfather and I need someone to explain it to me like I'm five? Because I must be missing something?

The first memory I have of hearing a dramatic story is in preschool when my teacher told the story of Hillel sleeping on the roof in the snow, and niche reference but if I'm being perfectly honest that is the moment that turned me anticapitalist.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?"

Turns out, mom was right.

I remember the Embarrassing Things from the late 90s. And incidentally, I have an unfinished poem from 2016 titled Hasidic Lore and Hillary Clinton, about how my (then) hero featured prominently in the stories of modern day miracles my father told about his heroes.
