Key
Capricious
On Sunday, an acquaintance and I wanted to visit the Jewish cemetery in Lublin.
We went to a yeshiva to pick up the keys, but the guard at the yeshiva refused to give us the keys.
When my acquaintance asked “why?” the guard answered. “I don’t feel like giving you the keys.”
My acquaintance was upset, but I’m used to the capriciousness of guards.

L'Chaim!
Yesterday I watched "Fiddler on the Roof", today Nat Geo brought me a documentary on the Hasidic in New York. It must be coincidental, but I'm on a Jewish spree again. Feeling the same as I did a few years back when I wanted to convert to Judaism. Perhaps I should look into it. (or reread the Jewish Messiah?)

I find the liberal, atheist Jews the most appealing - and intriguing-ones. No need to convert .

Dear Arnon,
What is your reaction on the suicide of Anil Ramdas?
Regards
An unorthodox capriciousness now broadcast around the world. The yeshiva has a graveyard troll.
Accountability

As I wrote here before, sometimes a question (or an interview) sounds like a police inquiry.

Sadness.

Thanks Arnon for your reply. Question was not meant as interogation. I was very sad myself and had the impression that in the Netherlands nobody cared at all that Ramdas felt the need to "leave" us. Regards.
