Back to School

I'm going to be going to yeshiva so I'm not sure if this blog will continue having new posts. I originally said I would blog about: Science, Miracles, Metaphors, Lakewood, Black Hats, Israel, Metzitzah and Jumping Elephants. I already wrote about the ones crossed out and about many more topics. Other topics that I would have wanted to mention: Proving Judaism, Anti-Science, Hilchos Haircuts, Hilchos Music, The Internet, and much more. Maybe I’ll figure out a way to continue blogging.

P.S.

I changed the format so all 25 posts show on the Nebach! page itself so you don't need to look at the archives.
