Good Friday, Passover, and Easter Weekend 2018

Today is Good Friday.

Good Friday, also known as “Holy Friday,” is the Friday immediately preceding Easter Sunday. It is celebrated traditionally as the day on which Jesus was crucified.  …

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled

And Jesus said:

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

And whither I go ye know,

and the way ye know.

New York City’s Mayor de Blasio Displeases as He Appeases

And so it begins.  How shall it end?

When he’s not dropping groundhogs, the new mayor of New York City, Warren Wilhelm Jr. * Bill de Blasio, is thinking up new ways to celebrate diversity, as should be expected from a progressive mayor.

Blessed Passover and Happy Easter. Open Thread.

Shalom!  On Passover may you rejoice in your traditions and always be blessed with the rich and bountiful gifts of life.  Rabbi Philip R. Alstat said that faith

gives the oppressed the strength to outlive the oppressors and to endure until the day of ultimate triumph when we shall “be brought forth from bondage unto freedom, from sorrow unto joy, from mourning unto festivity, from darkness unto great light, and from servitude unto redemption.”

And so, have faith!  Blessed Passover.
