My Christian head does seem to be annoyingly Orthodox, even though my heart leads me in a much more liberal direction.
Keren David: My Jewish heart does seem to be annoyingly Orthodox, even though my head leads me in a much more liberal direction.
Ryan Huber: It may come as a surprise, but there are zero Protestant SCOTUS justices. You read that correctly: zero. All of the current Supreme Court justices are either Catholic or Jewish.

AARON EBY: The agricultural cycle was the basis of the ancient economy, so Rosh Hashanah marks the turn of the fiscal year. It is more like a yearly review with your employer: How did you do this year? What could you do better? How could the company best use you in the year to come?
Mercedes Millano Evangelista Fabro Rivera~Khan: This is Harvest Time.
Clifford Fabro Rivera: This is Vampire Time. 🧛🏾
FRED V. SQUILLANTE: There would be no better way to prevent Messiah from coming than to poison His blood

I had a Filipina 5th grade teacher and a Pinay high school World History Teacher, but I had never even known Filipino American professors existed. With the help & inspiration of a Latina professor mentor, I was determined to become a professor myself. #MyFilipinoAmericanHistory pic.twitter.com/Bf41IIGOAe— Kevin Nadal, Ph.D. (@kevinnadal) October 6, 2018
PETER JAMERO: I may have been like other boys, but there was a major difference ― my family included 80 to 100 single young men residing in a Filipino farm-labor camp. It was as a "campo" boy that I first learned of my ancestral roots and the sometimes tortuous path that Filipinos took in sailing halfway around the world to the promise that was America. It was as a campo boy that I first learned the values of family, community, hard work, and education. As a campo boy, I also began to see the two faces of America, a place where Filipinos were at once welcomed and excluded, were considered equal and were discriminated against. It was a place where the values of fairness and freedom often fell short when Filipinos put them to the test.
Brought to you under the direction of The Edmond J Safra Synagogue: Asher, Yaakob’s son, stands by the entrance of Gehinam, and rescues anyone who has studied Mishna. This is the meaning of the verse, "Me’Asher Shemena Lahmo" ("From Asher – his bread is hearty" – Bereshit 49:20). The word "Shemena" has the same letters as "Mishna," suggesting that Asher benefits people who study Mishna.
EMMANUEL SONNENSCHEIN: My dear son, Ignatz, you have, now, left the safety of the House, in which you were born, in order to achieve your life’s goal: to become a Judge, to create laws, as Moses did, to render justice, like King David, and to exercise power from which the Almighty has barred us or, perhaps, protected us for thousands and thousands of years.
IGNATZ SONNENSCHEIN: You are entering a New World, where you will certainly be successful because you have Knowledge. Study has always been our religious duty, as Jews. Our exclusion from Society has given us an ability to adapt to others and to sense connections between things which seem diverse, but if you feel you have power, you are mistaken. If you feel you have the right to put yourself ahead of others because you think you know more than they do, you are wrong. Never allow yourself to be driven into the sin of Conceit. Conceit is the greatest of sins. The source of all other sins.
ADAM SORS: Never give up your religion. Not for God. God is present in all religions, but if your life becomes a struggle for acceptance, you'll always be unhappy. Religion may not be perfect, but it is a well~built boat that can stay balanced and carry you to the other shore. Our life is nothing, but a boat adrift on water balanced by permanent uncertainty. About the People whom you will judge, know this: all they do is struggle to find a kind of security. They're just People, like us. Therefore you mustn't judge them on the basis of appearance or hearsay. Trust no one. Examine all things yourself. Do not join with power. Despise all rank. Do not be ostentatious with what is yours. Owning possessions and property ultimately comes to nothing. Possessions and property can be consumed by fire, swept away by flood; taken away by politics. Do not undertake what you do not know. This causes anxiety which makes you ill. Exercise discipline.

MEIR BUCHNICK: In fact, even the Supreme Court has ruled that if the decision at hand is timely and dependent on an opportunity that may no longer be available in the future (such as the support of an American president), the government is authorized to make the decision.
DAVID G. SAVAGE: The death of liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg could allow legal conservatives to take full control of the Supreme Court for a decade or more, imposing a historic shift to the right with vast implications for U.S. jurisprudence and society at large.
שמואל בוטח: I believe the mind is a muscle. The more we exercise the mind, the smarter we become, like any other corporeal faculty.
I believe passionately that education improves our mental faculty, just as good nutrition improvise our physical faculties. To the extent that we Jews are perceived as smart, it’s because of our emphasis on textual study and education.
JAMES EMERY WHITE: While the subculture resting at the top of the epicenters of society – the educational system, the media of mass communication and the upper echelons of the legal system – have been largely secularized, we are keenly feeling the post-Christian nature of our world in our neighbor.
RINA CASTELNUOVO: I was raised in a House of Silence. My parents wouldn’t talk.

GARY STERN: It's a given that everything in K-12 education is going digital. But Stepinac, a Roman Catholic school for boys, is out in front when it comes to letting go of expensive, heavy, environmentally unfriendly and instantly outdated books in favor of video review lessons for calculus and Latin stories that can be read out loud.
In the past, students' families had to spend up to $700 a year on textbooks. This year — after the one-time purchase of a tablet or laptop — families have to pay $150 for access to the digital library.
"It reads to you," he said. "Listening to a book might not be the worst thing in the world."
Listening comes first.
We are all in a hurry, rushing to say something, to issue a statement, even when we have not heard yet. We have already something prepared without knowing what the question or statement is.
Bnei Lot are of an ancient origin. In the migratory tradition of Ruth begun more than two millennia ago, a remnant of David and Solomon migrated into Maritime Southeast Asia which comprises what is now Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, The Philippines, and Singapore, as well as Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia, with a sizeable minority of Malays migrating back to their tribal allotments in Sephardic Judah, besides Terrestrial and Figurative Jordan.
