So proud of you, Yiftach.
Your mitzvah reminds me to be a better, more generous person, too.
Keeping Grammy Phyllis in mind. And you and your family, too!

This doesn’t prevent Jewish kids from doing stupid things like other kids, but it is nice that this is built into the culture. I think it seeps in and means more later. Thanks for the comment!

I’m impressed. One thing I’ve always admired about the Jewish culture is the practicality, and from what I’ve absorbed about the bar/bat mitzvah celebrations, it’s something that is missing from the American culture in these days of the nanny state and PC and “it’s for the chilldrennnn” mindset. Providing a channel for kids to step up to the plate and choose to act and accept responsibility like adults is badly needed in the country today.

Incidentally, Seth told me there’s a viral email going around with the Jewish Zodiac text and descriptions but no credit to him. If you see that mail, set the sender straight and don’t forward it on without proper attribution.

[...] violations have occurred at the hands of settlers, and, to my great shame, at the hands of Tzahal, our Israeli Defense Force, when they have uprooted, destroyed or stolen [...]

Let me know if you want me to walk you through it (Wordpress also?). Or, you know, just follow their famous 3-step here (under Manual Update). For a real challenge, try following it in Hebrew.

You’re brave, Yiftach! I’ve been putting off upgrading mine because I don’t want anything to go on. Maybe now I’ll feel inspired to go ahead and try. First, I guess I better copy down all the files from the server, just in case I need to restore.

I ran into the same damn error, my bank actually turned my Savings Account into a Checking Accout (with a monthly service fee no less)!
