Much ado about...nevermind

It seems like blogging will be every other day, it seems like. It's all due to the way I scheduled my courses. When you schedule your first MWF class no earlier than 12, half a day goes by before you even wake up. So yea, I apologize.

Virginia appears to be warming up to Mark Warner's potential candidacy for president in 2008.

Jewish candidates did fairly well in this past Tuesday's primary elections. Here's another take on things.

I wholely support this campaign to remove Iran from the United Nations.

Nobel Prize laureate Elie Wiesel and lawyers Irwin Cotler and Alan Dershowitz are backing the Jerusalem Council for Public Affairs’ campaign.

The group will circulate a document calling for the United Nations to oust Iran because it has violated the U.N. Charter with its threats to destroy Israel.

Meanwhile, Edgar Bronfman, president of the World Jewish Congress, urged U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan to redisplay a U.N. Holocaust exhibit during next week’s visit by Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has denied the Holocaust and called for Israel to be wiped off the map.

Zach Braff keeps busy with a new film.

This commercial was new to me.

Amnesty has accused Hezbollah of war crimes.

This is a milestone achievement. Mazel tov to the newly ordained Rabbis.

The three men were given their ordination certificates at the ceremony in Dresden's modern, stone synagogue, which was rebuilt after the fall of the Berlin Wall - the first in the former East Germany.

Daniel Alter, 47, of Germany, was the first of the three to graduate from the Abraham Geiger College.

He was joined by 35-year-old Tomas Kucera, of the Czech Republic and 38-year-old Malcolm Matitiani, of South Africa. All three wore black robes, with white prayer shawls trimmed with tassels draped around their shoulders.

Some 250 people, many of them from Jewish communities across Europe and in Israel, attended the ceremony. Afterward, the governor of Saxony hosted the new rabbis and those attending the ceremony for a reception.

They are the first rabbis to be ordained in Germany since the Nazis destroyed the College of Jewish Studies in Berlin in 1942, midway through the war.

Just before the ceremony, Matitiani said he was "excited and happy" and that there was a twofold significance to being ordained in Germany.

He told The Associated Press it is important for him "because of the scholarship and the symbol of reviving Judaism in Germany."

This will cause a lot of debate within the Jewish community for sure. I'll end on that note.
