Home alone

So I’ve been alone for ten days now, and it has been a whirlwind of doing whatever I want, deep cleaning, missing my wife and kids, and studying. I’ve watched so many things streaming, I’ve gamed, I only eat when I’m hungry enough to feel it, it’s actually been nice in that respect. The one…

So…sore…so busy!

Since the wife and kids left for a month in NC while I watch our cats, I’ve been taking things apart and deep cleaning every nook and cranny. This has not been an easy venture with 2 adults and our four kids, things get messy in the oddest places. Needless to say in 5 days…

Working hard or hardly working?

So, with my wife and kids now in NC (as of today) I am taking it upon myself to get our house in order back here in Philadelphia. I am in the process of cleaning the house from ceiling to floor and stepping up my workout game in our workout room. None of this is…

My birthday

Tomorrow, July 30th is my birthday and although I’ll be 43 years old, it’s my first birthday as a convert. Today I had a great lunch, we’re going to my mother’s house tonight to celebrate with a birthday cheesecake and pizza (4 kids and 3 adults… we’re outnumbered!) and then tomorrow I’m having Halal Guys…

Preparing for a month alone

The kids nor my wife have seen her parents in almost 2 years now, so we all planned that they would go from Philly to North Carolina for a month in August. I’ll be staying home with the cats and keeping an eye on the house, so we will be a part for 30 whole…

Look at all the newness!

I have added so many articles, a new interview I did with journalist Tom Ravlic, a new op-ed written by me and published by Fromthegman.net, and so so so much more. I am working a lot on making this site as content-rich as possible, in hope that it helps other people. There’s new content all…

Missing our first Shabbat service ever!!!

So due to FedEx screwing up delivery of my wife’s new Cochlear implant piece, it’s out for delivery today, which means we have to wait for it at home. This will be the very first Shabbat service we’ve missed in six months consecutively. We both feel horrible about missing it, but we’re going to watch…

We went to synagogue!

Yesterday we went to our synagogue Rodeph Shalom for the first time, it was finally opened since the Covid-19 pandemic began. It was also the first time our new cantor sang for us all, so it was doubly a special occasion. We (my wife and I) gathered up our four kids, hopped on two buses,…

New…everything

You’ve read correctly, I have been on an adding spree here at Son of Sinai, I’m on fire. New articles, new media, new recommendations… new, new, and more new!  I am including a link to what I believe to be an important article here so that you can find it and read it and hopefully…

Articles a plenty!

I have written and posted so many new articles here and updated my recommendations a bit as well. I have quite a few books to buy and read too, thanks to a suggestion by my Rabbi, and I’m so excited to study more. I’m currently reading, meditating, and praying more time than I’m not in…
