Highmoon's Ponderings

Currently Reading: Farewell Espana: The World of the Sephardim Remembered

Quick entry:
My wife and I are finally settled in the new apt, though my office still looks like a disaster area. At least the computer is up. Good thing, too, cause I felt so disconnected!

Gotta go out and get stuff for Shabbat. More in the days to follow.

Concerning the book I am reading: Excellent! Most people think that Jews are all Chasidics who wear black suits and hats and leave their sideburns really long. Wrong! Though smaller in number today, the greatest group of Jews in the middle ages (up to 1492, when they were expulsed from Spain) was the Sephardim Jews, those who lived in Spain. I am one of them. We are slowly rebuilding our traditions, and this book offers a great look at our history in excellent detail. I am thoroughly enjoying it.
