Behind the Scenes with Author J.M. Hoffman. Australia: Melbourne (Day 2 in Country). Flinders Street Station, Melbourne, Australia. After an exhausting journey.

My day started with a wonderful breakfast with friends at Batch Espresso, just one of many cafes and restaurants on the trendy Carlisle St. that was a short walk from my hotel. St Kilda Pier, Melbourne, Australia. I headed off to dinner content.

The Case of the Bat in the House | J.M. Hoffman
https://jmhoffmanfiction.wordpress.com/2016/07/31/the-case-of-the-bat-in-the-house
Behind the Scenes with Author J.M. Hoffman. The Case of the Bat in the House. I wish it were fiction. When I awoke around 3:30am on Thursday, I was thirsty, and I also had a vague sense that something was wrong — probably just a bad dream, I mistakenly thought. A common brown bat. I did what any rational person would do under the circumstances: I ran in terror back to my bedroom and slammed the door.

Though I started working at Vassar Temple five years ago, I first heard about the place two years before that from my colleague and dear friend Rabbi Shoshana Hantman. “They’re a really nice group of people,” she was fond of saying about Vassar Temple. With only a few exceptions, she was absolutely right. Artistic gifts from students and teachers adorn my office door. Those feats, noteworthy in themselves, are al...

Behind the Scenes with Author J.M. Hoffman. Australia: Days 1, 2, and 3 (Getting There). A surprise travel companion makes any flight a joy. I used to think that Alaska. Was far away. Then I thought that South Africa. Was distant. But Australia, wow! Melbourne is so remote that there are no direct flights from New York. You have to transfer somewhere. Boarding was delayed, for reasons no one made clear, but not by much. To go from the West to the East you fly north. I live a place called the West, and I ...

Joel M. Hoffman, PhD. Teacher . translator . author. Remembering Ariel Sharon: A Real-Life Hero. Remembering Ariel Sharon: A Real-Life Hero. January 11, 2014. Ariel Sharon died today. It was eight years ago that a stroke left the prominent Israeli leader in a coma, and about two weeks ago, while I was in Israel, that news reports circulated that Sharon’s condition had “worsened.”. In a sense, it was ludicrous. How much worse could the comatose 85-year-old’s health get? In 2001, Sharon became Israel’...
