Review with Yellow and Purple Crocuses
Elsewhere in the Blogosphere
A friend sent an email with an article by Walter Russell Mead about Jacksonian Zionists. A curious term, the article didn’t really explain. So I went online and found this article The Jacksonian Tradition by Walter Russell Mead.
Daniel reviews The Once and Future King. Word of advice to parents: if you are recommending this book to your kids, tell them to read The Sword and the Stone. You may not yet want your child reading about the triangle between Arthur, Guenevere and Lancelot (voice of a parent who made this mistake speaking).
Jew Wishes found The Last of the Just by André Schwarz-Bart an enthralling novel.

B'H for kind people like yourself. It truly helps with what life is giving us right now. I know that this too will pass, but thankfully with your kind words to help along the way.

Leora says
You, too! I may not post again for a while. Lots to do!
Ilana-Davita says
I may post on Saturday evening and will try to post on Sunday before "closing down" for Pesach.
Mrs. S. says
I hope you're not getting too overwhelmed by all the cleaning and cooking!
Shabbat Shalom and Chag Kasher V'Samei'ach to you and your family!
Leora says
Overwhelmed? Nah. I have a plan... (how to get your family involved and have fun, too...)
"Shabbat Shalom and Chag Kasher V’Samei’ach " - yes, yes!
Jew Wishes says
The crocus photo is beautiful, reminding us that spring has sprung.
Shabbat Shalom.
Chag Sameach!

Lovely review! I'm hoping my purple and yellow crocuses will come up this week.
Louis la Vache says
The crocus is a welcome sign of Spring! No doubt more so to those of you who've had such a snowed-in winter!
Check out the new Sunday Bridge meme.
The "Jacksonian Zionists" article was very interesting.
Shabbat Shalom
Leora says
Louis, I wonder if anyone besides you will take the time to read the Jacksonian Zionists article. Glad you did.
I'm going to check out the bridge meme.

B'H for kind people like yourself. It truly helps with what life is giving us right now. I know that this too will pass, but thankfully with your kind words to help along the way.
