Lil E's Tryin' a Hand at School



Lil E starts at the synagogue preschool in the fall. He went to a meet-and-greet picnic today at a local park with a playground. Highlights included:

I was pushing him in the swing. Another Dad came along with his daughter and they started using the swing beside us. After a little time, we introduced ourselves and the one dad said his name was ______. And Lil E, right in time said, "Dad: Jim. Mommy: Karen," as if he was handling the introductions. And not "as if," he was. What a trip!

Then he met these two boys and couldn't get their names out of his head and went all over looking for "J" and "S." Then he'd go play with them.

Oh there was more...but lastly, we're on the way back, walking to the car and he reaches forward to grab the hand of the little girl we were walking out with. (Picture above.)

This kid's alright and he's ready, right? And he ain't even two yet. Go, E! Go, my Lil E...

BREAKING NEWS: USC to Absorb HUC in LA?

This just in from "The God Blog." A source told Jewish Journal editor-in-chief Rob Eshman that the University of Southern California and Hebrew Union College-Jewish institute of Religion, which already share some faculty and facilities, are working on a deal to fold the L.A. campus into USC as a Jewish studies program. “Its a win win,“ the source said. “HUC gets a big chunk of money for what it owns—about a block of prime real estate by the USC campus—and USC gets to solidify a Jewish studies and outreach program that it has been building for some time now.“ Hebrew Union College in Los Angeles has been having big problems -- a consolidation of resources may present a novel and impactful solution. VERY INTERESTING.

A Year-end Letter Update from James and Family

Dear Friends and Family, On the brink of the new year on December 31, 2019 we stood at the foot of Kehinde Wiley's brand new monumental equestrian sculpture in downtown Richmond at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. There were a bunch of families gathered around taking pictures together. Emblematic of this entire year and entitled “ Rumors of War ,” the monument depicts an unarmed Black man in heroic pose atop a horse. The man’s sneakers are in the stirrups, looking back over their shoulder like Napoleon as they ride forward up a ridge . It was a strange harbinger of the year that was, and how it’s going. Kamala Harris will be named our vice president in a few weeks. In between, the apocalyptic has been commonplace; I mean, what a year. Emil started high school this fall. Graduation this past spring from Mark Day School was likely the year’s highlight. Karen is still at Mark Day. This fall they've been doing hybrid learning. It’s the first time Karen and Emil have not been goi
