Catching Up
We just got back from a wonderful family-trip to Israel and I am slowly catching up on things. First of all, our prayers go out to all soldiers and civilians in Israel who are in harm’s way. For some insightful commentary on what is happening see Yaacov Lozowick’s blog. As my life gets back to normal I’ll return to regular blogging. In the meantime, here are some things from the blogosphere and the web which deserve mention. Mark Washofsky has written a review of Simcha Fishbane’s The Boldness of an Halakhist: An Analysis of the Writings of Rabbi Yechiel Mechel Halevi Epstein’s "The Arukh Hashulhan"
. Michael Satlow has started to post podcasts of a lecture series “From Israelite to Jew.” Also see the syllabuses that he has posted at his website. The topic of these podcasts brings me to one of the books which I purchased in Israel and that I mentioned here, Israel Knohl’s מאין באנו. For some discussion of the book see here and here (in Hebrew). Leaving the world of Jewish Studies, a post on university libraries, digital resources and controlling bedlam on our computers (hat tip). While we are talking about controlling bedlam on our computers, DEVONthink 2.0 is now available in public-beta. Lastly, here are ten medical myths, part I, part II (hat tip).
