Art is something that makes you breathe with a different kind of happiness

Doing right by others...

Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai and Rabbi Yehoshua were on their way out of Jerusalem. Seeing the destroyed Temple, Rabbi Yehoshua exclaimed, "How awful for us --- the place where the sins of Israel could be forgiven lies in ruins."  Rabbi Yochanan replied, "My son, do not grieve.  We have another, equally effective form of atonement. What is it? Acts of kindness, for it is written: 'I desire kindness not sacrifice.' "        ~ Avot de Rabbi Natan ~

The Last Munchkin...

How sad.  On May 24th 2018, Jerry Maren the last
of the Munchkins from The Wizard of Oz died at age 98.

He will forever be remembered as one of The Lollipop Guild. 
 One of three boys who march up to Dorothy to welcome her.
He hands her that giant lollipop.
May he rest in peace.
