In the 22 days of this month, I’ve written about “My Name Is Earl,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” a love coach who compares looking for a mate to trying to catch a cab in NYC, weddings, Orthodox women singing, and John Zorn’s genius grant–with a side of Stephen Colbert.

If you missed any of these vital commentaries, feel free to check out “Recent Writings.”

To all my fellow Jews out there, wishing you a happy and healthy 5767. May it be a productive and peaceful one.
