My 10-Year-Old Son Needed a Haircut

. . . so his brother gave him a Mohawk:

At the Old Ball Game!

My son Jim, 18, hoists son Emerson, 10, atop his shoulders and son Jefferson, 12, joins in a thumbs-up Wednesday night at Camden Yards after the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Minnesota Twins 5-4. Jim got four free tickets from his boss, and the seats — Section 26, Row 17, behind the home-team dugout — were […]

Israel, Islam and Endogamy

Is heredity destiny? At least one rabbi says so: ‘Gentile sperm leads to barbaric offspring’ Rabbi Dov Lior, a senior authority on Jewish law in the Religious Zionism movement, asserted recently that a Jewish woman should never get pregnant using sperm donated by a non-Jewish man –- even if it is the last option available.
