      READING TORAH IS LIKE SHAVING
      IF YOU DON'T DO A LITTLE OF IT EACH DAY YOU'RE A BUM
      YOU BUM YOU TORAH BUM.

      I just wish I could use PayPal to contribute a bit and get a signed copy ($22) - 'cause I don't have credit card, checking account or the money to buy a money order here - Sweden - as itr will cost thrice of my donation with all the fees my bank charges - and no, don't tell me to change my bank or whatever, cause it's the law over here - they have to charge that much. Just make PayPal an option. Please...

I'm a Jewish educator and writer. I founded Ben Yehuda Press with my wife, Eve, to highlight exciting Jewish voices. I'm proud of our diverse list of books, which range from Jewish Renewal to Modern Orthodox to Atheist, and which include Torah study, science fiction, poetry, memoir, and scholarship.

We are the parents of five children, feeders of three cats, and caretaker of one snake (until our eldest daughter, now in college, finds herself in reptile-friendly living quarters again.)
