Back Online

Sorry, faithful readers, of whom I hope to have a few before too long, about being off-line for a week. I am about to get this blog up and running at last. Later this week, I hope, I will have a discussion with my frequent interlocutor, Sam Kliger, director of Russian-Jewish Affairs at the American Jewish Committee, about the situation in Israel and what should be done from here on. I will share some insights on a story I have been strugglin with for weeks concerning the knotty matter of Pope Pius and the Jews. Then next Sunday, I'm off to Israel for a week for a long awaited reunion with my Israeli relatives amidst the chaos and carnage now ensuing. Then I will have two weeks in Crimea with Tanya and her family, hopefully blogging a good deal on realities in Ukraine and our mutual search for the lost world of the Khazars. Anyway, Rubyjewsday is back on line. Thanks, Dima!
