It’s been a little quiet here and I just wanted to let everybody who’s been commenting on the previous thread know that there is a reason.
I’m not the biggest expert on these things, perhaps the others who post here will chime in with more, but Dave is observing the Jewish tradition of Shiva. Aish has a tremendous site about it which you can find here: The Stages of Jewish Mourning. The only thing I will say is that using the Internet is probably not something an observant person is going to do at this time which would be the only reason Dave hasn’t responded. I’m sure when he does get back on line he will be deeply moved by the response here.
Thank you all and we’ll try to keep the blog moving in Dave’s absence.
