Character Takes Center Stage in SCDS’s “The Man Who Came to Dinner” - The Commentator

Dec 8, 2024 | yucommentator.org | David Deutsch

Style over substance is an oft derogatory critique, but when there’s this much style it’s hard to complain. While not as philosophical as last year’s production of “The Anastasia Trials in the Court of Women,” when watching the Stern College Dramatics Society version of “The Man Who Came to Dinner” you’ll be too busy laughing to notice. Outrageously funny and quick-witted, the whole production oozes charm from the cutting dialogue to the over-the-top performances.

As longtime board members for Rosecrance Behavioral Health, we feel pride every day to be affiliated with an organization and so many people doing lifesaving work. Rosecrance served over 54,000 people last year throughout three states. That’s powerful. And last month the Rosecrance leaders and team members again did what they do best.
The Glass is Half Full (of Piss)

[A note on mental health—please read before reading the rest…. When you know or suspect that the emperor (of life itself) wears no clothes, but have felt alone and isolated in this viewpoint, and scared to express it for fear of being misunderstood or ostracized, hearing someone else proclaim “The emperor is stark raving naked!” can feel joyful, refreshing, and freeing; it can make you feel less alone and crazy, and more sane (in an insane world).

Dust swirled at his feet as he and his platoon entered the cramped military helicopter, flying low over the shoreline towards an unspecified forest about 10 kilometers from the Lebanon border.

Despite increases in consumption, and contrary to the prophecies of generations of Malthusians, the world hasn’t run out of a single metal or mineral. In fact, resources have generally grown cheaper relative to income over the past two centuries. Even on the largest cosmic scale, resources may well be limitless.

Sam Savetsky Puts Principles Into Practice At Yeshivat Migdal HaTorah

Jun 22, 2023 | jewishlink.news | David Deutsch

By David Deutsch Reflecting on a transformative year at Migdal HaTorah, Sam Savetsky continues his upward trajectory as he prepares himself for Shana Bet next fall.
