37/40 From Rabbi Brian

The Problem? Me.
I realized what is wrong with airport security!
Me, expecting it to be Disneyland.

Notes:
Did you realize that I’ve been sending out this newsletter since July 2006?  (It had a previous life before that.)
The end of this year will mark the 260th issue and, assuming every issue is read by every person receiving it, about 950,000 reads.  (I know, who reads all of them anyway?) Even it it is 77% of the articles read, but 77% of the people, it’s still over a half million.
Impressive.

Apple-Banana-Cap

November 5, 2025

An apple, a banana, and a baseball cap.🍎🍌🧢 ✧✧✧  I arrive at the wedding venue super early. My preference, always, is to arrive early, find the couple, and let them see that I’m on site. (It usually calms them down.) But, today, I’m super, super early. The couple haven’t even arrived yet. “You the photographer?” I ask a man pulling

I thought, “Hey, I know what would make a good article! A fuller, playful retelling of the Book of Jonah.” But, then I read what I
