 Just read the story in NJJN. Glad to know you're keeping it alive.
 Meanwhile, tell me when I can buy the book.
 I'll order it, put some bridge money in your pocket.
 Happy Hanukah.
 Leaving for Fl. on TUES. Back mid-APRIL.
 When you're old, you're cold.

Dear Art! Yes and yes to your ongoing mission for promoting, advancing  the acts that sharpen and deepen our individual and collective power of ….'memory.'
In this spirit, I want to share an adage that very recently came to my attention, with credit to the great, internationally renowned Israeli(South African born) educator: Avraham Infeld—recalling the past is not so much history as it is memory. In this spirit, I cite a revered colleague, and  esteemed teacher, Professor Michael Meyer, Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati. The Jew speaks less in terms of "history" than  TOLDOT, expressing  the human chronicles  of one's culture.  At the core of course is  the root,

י  ל   ד

A major part of my own personal creed!

Blessings  for Shavua tov, as we pray for moments of respite from the tragedies of the day to day and hour to hour, extending condolences to loved ones of all those dear  who have fallen, and prayers for healing for all those injured in acts of terror.

In friendship, dear Art

Paul (Shaul)
