Last week discovered a pair of rabbits copulating outside the kitchen window. Did not realize the incredible efficiency of the act - perhaps 10 seconds!

A question for the halachic minds out there - is it against halacha to post nude pictures of oneself on the Internet if the pictures are completely anonymous? No - there are no anonymous nude pictures of me on the Internet, it is a purely hypothetical question!

David Ben-Gurion once said - ''Were I to know that all German Jewish children could be rescued by transferring them to England and only half by transfer to Palestine, I would opt for the latter, because our concern is not only the personal interest of these children, but the historic interest of the Jewish people.'' This quote really bothers me, especially in the context of many other behaviors of Jews before, during, and after the Holocaust. Idealogues really bother me. There are several blogs right now that are discussing the whitewashing of personalities in Artscroll books. When will we talk about the whitewashing of Zionist leaders?
