The redesigned $10 bill starts circulating today.
More about the basic requirements for writing sofrut.
The Battle Hymn of the Human Immune System.
I very much like the sculpture Promises, Promises (in Israel, at the Open Museum in the Tefen Industrial Park).
I got a glossy circular with pictures of local real estate for sale. It was entertaining to be able to pinpoint exactly where one condo was from the view of a mural through the window.
For MA kosher consumers: Massachusetts Kosher Community Survey.
And in other Jewish Massachusetts news, my mom told me that they're working on building an eruv in Worcester. They started just after the holidays this past fall, and want to have it in place for this fall's holidays. While part of me snorted, knowing how much work went into the North Charles eruv (years and years), they've got a lot worked out already, with all the synagogues and Jewish communal groups backing the eruv, a representative from the city to work with (and only one municipality), as well as contacts with the utility companies. Interesting to me is that even the Reform synagogues are backing this, even though one of them (and the JCC) will be outside the first stage boundaries. (There's plans for stage two, but that will be once there's more money.) Having an eruv could revitalize the Jewish community, not only making Worcester a more viable locale for people to consider moving to (there's still the question of schools, especially high schools), but also opening lines of communication between groups that historically haven't talked.
Oh, and while looking for a link to put in here, I found that the rabbi of my parents' shul has some of his sermons online.
