The first post says it all Shalom, This is the home of the Pittsfield Jew. Sure its neat to read about Jews in Brooklyn who are very observant but how about a not so observant Jew who lives in the Mid West?

Write quickly

Jonny will have to make this post quickly. It looks more and more like Penny is in a really bad mood. She keeps the door closed and hardly ever talks to Jonny. He finished a book over the weekend. The book was written by Marek Halter and was 278 pages. No maps. This week's Torah portion, Jonny was listening to. It was Torah Gems, Vayechi. The guy is so cliche. He talks about Goshen the Jewish ghetto. Also this is a Hazak parsha. This is because it is the last parsha in the book of bereshit. So we say hazak at the end to signify from strength to the next sefer. Cliche man calls Yosef the viceroy of Egypt. The viceroy gets a double portion of Yacov's inheritance. Not much was said about Yacov having two names. The book of Joshua comes from Effraim. Jonny was caught sleeping in his office today too. There were 13 tribes but the Levi's don't count. Jacob puts his right hand on the younger of his two grandsons. Which means that he is supposed to be blessing via his right hand the stronger hand the older child. Also Jonny read chapter 21 of Jeremiah. It is about Zedekiah King of Judah. Angelina called to voice her complaints for the day. She is complaining about reading to the class for Jesse's class. Alberta's school called and Alberta was ill. Angelina had to run and pick her up. Jonny has started a new book he let Lorraine pick it out. He is on chapter 2 of Death in a Strange Country A Commissario Guido Brunetti Mystery by the International Bestselling Author of Acqua Alta and Uniform Justice. It is an American who is found floating in a canal in Venice. He had a US quarter in his pocket. The book is written by Donna Leon. Jonny is up to page 24. Angelina lined up a secretary subbing job for tomorrow. Below is the easy way out, an email to Jonny's Mom. He only had time to talk to her for 5 minutes over the weekend.

Dear Mom,

Jesse was busy playing with his Perler beads. Alberta and I went to a UM basketball game and we saw our neighbors there. They are a nice family with a child in Jesse's class and a baby. Angelina was surprised that they would take all four of them to the game. It was in walking distance. UM won too. Lorraine and Jesse aren't coming with us to Cincinnati. Angelina is gearing up for the trip there this week. She is filling out paper work and packing our bags. We get reimbursed for mileage so that will pay for some of the food and lodging. I finished Zipporah, wife of Moses. I usually let Lorraine pick out my books. I have so many of them. She has chosen Death in a Strange Country. It has a neat map of Venice. They are so many canals in the city of Venice. I have been painting for the past two weeks. I also started sealing the slate floor in the kitchen. Angelina bought a product a long time ago to finish off the slate in the kitchen. I am enjoying this one last week with no students.

Love,
Jonny
