My father a"h said this was his 'favorite' @Yahrtzeits & felt that Mr. Rosenberger should be more well known as he brought back a "lost" Mitzva to thousands of people!
He also said it's fitting that he shares a @Yahrtzeits with R'Meir Shapiro who had major impact with the Daf.

I realized that my post earlier came out a bit messed up - reposting as one post
@ShabbosReads I'm not a big reader. Slow reader, actually - when I read Harry Potter, by the 3rd book I couldn't remember who Harry was 🤓😂
But I spent a lot of time reading this over Shabbos/RH and it was worth every minute.
The Dance of Teshuva by Rav David Ebner z"l - essays & poetry, presented by 18Forty. For a slow reader like me, it was perfect. As the saying goes, good things come in small packages.
The first essay, "The Dance of Teshuva," could have ended the book right there and it would have been worthwhile for me. The idea: if teshuva is done by habit and not with heart, is it really teshuva?
The message is deep and makes you think. A lot. But it left me wondering the reverse: the second time we sin - if it's done by habit and not with soul and heart, does that make us better than we think we are?
Then "Between Man & Man." One line rang so loud I kept going back to it (notice the folded page): "Journeys, not destinations, are the only thing of importance."
We spend so much time focused on the end goal that we forget to focus on how we're getting there. So much happens along the way - it would be a shame to miss it all in exchange for the final stop.
And I'd be lying if I didn't admit that when I read "a ferd bleibt a ferd" (an ass always remains an ass), a few individuals immediately came to mind. Yes, on RH 🙈

"Rabbi David Ebner, was an Elul Jew, most comfortable in the season in which we examine ourselves and imagine who we might yet become." 🔥
let the #ElulJews revolution begin.

Rosh Hashanah reading from @18_forty!
The best books about teshuva ultimately ask you to stop reading—to put the book down, look up, and turn toward God.
18Forty is proud to present "The Dance of Teshuva," a collection of essays and poetry by Rav David Ebner z"l on the Days of Awe.

Important words from my friend @bonnerdaniel in @SapirJournal
"To today’s philanthropists and leaders and educators, I suggest: Follow in the footsteps of our rabbis — and Fanny Goldstein — and work tirelessly toward the making, reading, gifting, and lending of books. Fund authors to write them. Buy them in bulk and send them to everyone you know (enclose a handwritten note if you really want to hammer home the point), and encourage others to do so as well. Fill your libraries and offices with books. Assign them to your staff and students. Resist the urge to go fully digital."

“When Jews are persecuted, so are their books. When Jews thrive, so do their books. They are fellow travelers on the epic journey of Jewish civilization.”
Interesting rumination by @bonnerdaniel on what it means to define peoplehood via books. sapirjournal.org/technology/…

Buy & read physical books.
For Jews, “books [are] the currency of community and social cohesion,” writes @bonnerdaniel in the latest Jewish Masterpiece essay. Should we lose them to the digital age, an essential form of Jewish community and identity across centuries will slip away. buff.ly/3RJLm0U

Made it to the new site of the National Library today. They set out a chair for every hostage held in Gaza with a book the librarians selected for that person, in consultation with the hostages' loved ones. Beauty and culture amidst the darkness and barbarity.

I think if your best argument is that the dead babies were only murdered, not beheaded, you've not only lost the argument, but also your mind.

The FBI just released its 2020 Hate Crime in the United States report. How appalling that 57.5% of all religiously motivated hate crimes (nationally) targeted the Jewish community which is less than 2% of the population.
