This site remains under considerable reconstruction.
Most pages should still be available in their original location. However, I will be moving the vast majority of the old site (static html pages) into the Web 2.0 (blog) site. If you experience any "link rot", please let me know.
When I initially created this site I organized the material into what seemed to be meaningful categories (in the days before "tags").

The new tools should make this process easier.

Neapolitan
Over the years I have been asked: What kind of a rabbi are you? To which I answer without hesitation: A good rabbi! And then my interlocutor stammers a bit and says: No, no, what… oh, ah…. Are you…? At which point I gently interrupt and say: Neapolitan
