Some Random Recommended Reading
1. Go. Read this. trust me.
2. Started and finished the book The World To Come over the weekend. I highly recommend it. It's a compelling read that fictionalizes a historical event (the 2001 theft of a painting by Marc Chagall, worth millions, that disappeared during a cocktail party in NY's Jewish Museum). Worth picking up.
3. Some perfect devices for all of us (germophobes, unite!) who use a paper towel or article of clothing to open and close doorknobs in public restrooms.
4. Sick stuff:

4. Sick stuff:
British respondents who were asked who in their opinion is the man that most endangers world peace placed Bush as the second most dangerous man, only second to al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.5. Couldn't have happened to a nicer person:
An international poll published in the Guardian found that Bush is perceived to be more dangerous than dictators like North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The "Excuse Me flag"? That's a bit over the top. Who said you're entitled to a cubic yard of space around you on a busy public sidewalk anyway? So obnoxious.

True. I liked the automatic disinfectant mister over the doorknobs. And the special doorknob-shaped paper towel dispenser for next to the bathroom door.
The World To Come was great. I found the part about the orphanage that housed all the kids left orphaned by pogroms and the later scenes set in Russia to be especialy compelling.
I read a book that has a similar theme. (Holocaust historical fiction) Its called The Boy Who Loved Ann Frank. It should be up your alley.
You might also suggest that people read Rabbi Mordechai Kamenetzky's article from this past week's Jewish Star. We need more of THAT kind of writing.
Must....please give us a link to that article.
