A conversation with a Rabbi

Tough Questions on Veteran's Day
The passing of Mr. Young just before Veteran's Day has me thinking more about this holiday than perhaps ever before. I have seen many comments, all from the heart and therefore wonderful to see. It does, however, bring some questions to my mind. Does thanking Mr. Young for his service (I take that to mean military service…

Climate pact with China
I'm not 100% up to speed on this but why is it that the announcement has barely been made that the deal is being attacked by Republicans.
