It has been a while since I’ve updated this site, even as I’ve kept the resume portion updated, but I have not been taking full advantage of all the things I want to put here. I’ve decided it is time to get back up to date and add in the material I had originally planned.

Please stay tuned.

Plaque Commemorating the Burning of the Talmud in Rome
In time for Rosh Hashanah 5771(2011), this plaque was unveiled to commemorate the events of Rosh Hashanah 5314…September 9, 1553. The Inquisitors confiscated every copy of the Talmud in Italy and burnt them in the market. A complete edition of Talmud was not found in Italy for the remainder of the 16th century.
