Thanks for the links. Wolfman DDS was pretty funny, but you should check out their video from two years ago, “Jewno“, a spoof of Juno. It’s downright hilarious.

Comment on Jewish efforts for Haiti by Rocky Mountain Jew

@ Ben M

Sadly this is all too true. When these events happen, the world - and media - tend to almost overly focus on the tragedy, only for it to disappear from headlines soon after.

With Haiti being so close to the United States, though, maybe the US government will take a longer-term view to providing both emergency and structural aid.

I just wonder whether, six months from now, anyone will pay attention to Haiti. It sounds like the country needs year of repair, not just emergency aid. Will anyone still care in six months?

Comment on The passing of Miep Gies by tehilla goldberg

thank you for writing about miep g.

There is a book , a biography of anne frank by a Melissa Muller, I believe. I heard her speak in person about ten years ago at a reading of her book. “Hello” was there too, he signed my book. Melissa spoke extensively about Miep G. Aside from the fact that she was a guardian angel to Anne Frank and her family–she sounded truly remarkable and ever so humble. I believe there is an introduction written by her to Melissa Muller’s book. Melissa Muller spoke about her a lot. She met with her extensively in order to write her biography of Anne Frank. Miep Geis, truly a righteous woman (together with her husband Jan). May they rest in peace…..shabbat shalom.
