Lately I've been complaining that I can't get through a day without a conversation about Sarah Palin. Blah blah blah, she's so terrifying/awful/hilarious. So, hoist to my own petard, I'm blogging about her- after three months, I know I know it's ridiculous. But not as ridiculous as this: sheitel.com is now selling a Sarah Palin wig. Yes folks, now you in the modest-haircovering Orthodox world can look like Our Sarah, lovin' Jews for Jesus and hatin' that mean old goverment (shoo! For serious, y'all.

Vaclav Havel writes in today's NYT. Whenever I reflect on the problems of today’s world, whether they concern the economy, society, culture, security, ecology or civilization in general, I always end up confronting the moral question: what action is responsible or acceptable? The moral order, our conscience and human rights — these are the most important issues at the beginning of the third millennium. Amen When are we going to get a president like that? I have jury duty, for the first time, tomorrow.

I'm mid-packing and the dust allergies are kicking up. Last night's going-away party was just lovely. An assortment of people from various sectors of my life. Activism, theater, work, Yiddishkeit, college, neighborhood. Prosecco, grilled croissants and peaches, and veg-pigs-in-blankets. Etc. Zoe and Ken's baby was born yesterday morning. A new small person in this big world. I can't wait to meet him, even as I'm heading out of town. You may have heard that I am making a big change in my life. Sounds nice...

Originally uploaded by michaeldolich. Been feeling pretty pissed off and aggressive these days. Therefore, I'm a dude. A dead dude. At a party with all my close friends, many didn't recognize me at all. plus, wearing guys' clothes is comfortable! Big jeans, sneakers, giant shirt, what. Great for balls-out dancing. I was objectifying people right and left. He may return on Wednesday. Symptomatic, of course. Many of you know all about this, but here's the background and the update. So, what now? I am honor...

Would that i had the proper habit of annotating my peculiar life herein. Foam soap. So unsatisfying in assuring me of a proper handwashing! I want to self-lather, not have my soap pre-lathered. Why is the darn stuff everywhere overnight? When did the silent revolution happen? Is it just because it's cheaper to whip up air than to buy the regular pink industrial stuff? The Obamas make tuna salad. Old-ish footage). Finally! Corollary: does 1600 Pennsylvania Ave belong to a CSA or purchase local foods?

You may have heard that I am making a big change in my life. After living in Philadelphia for four years, in a wonderful community with meaningful work and a delightful range of close friendships, I am moving to New York for a one-year yeshiva fellowship program. I've decided to make this move for a number of reasons, and I wanted to share a few with you, my friends and family, so that you can understand what I am doing and why it's meaningful to me. So, what is yeshiva? What is my program about? When yo...

It's been difficult to get internet this week- we had snow! Thinking back to Hebron last week, I'm not that depressed and angry about this trip tomorrow. I can turn off the shock-and-pain circuit in order to hold space for the group participants. I worry about numbness, I worry about effectiveness, and now I am worried about being too tired. Am drinking a nice Scotch, though, so what can be so wrong? Easy come easy go. Meanwhile in Philly our landlord is taking us to court! Originally uploaded by Emmalen.

Poetry and radical theology at a mental health treatment facility. Cross-posted at the Hadar blog.which you probably can't see, as I think it's private]. This is from a post that I wrote with my yeshiva buddy Sigal for the internal Hadar site where we all discuss, supposedly, our social-service projects. For those who are not keeping up, I'm in summer yeshiva in NYC with a fabulous posse of smartass yids. 14-hour days = no blogging.]. In each week- this and last- we brought a Mary Oliver poem (.
