Dear Lord.... [View all]


In synagogue last Sabbath I heard a sweet, elderly lady in a nearby pew saying a prayer.  She was so innocent and sincere that I just had to share it with you:  Avinu she’ba’shamayin (Our Father in Heaven):  this last year has been very tough.You have taken my favorite actors Sean Connery, Kirk Douglas and Diana Rigg:  my favorite television host, Alex Trek,  and Carol Reiner,
 from Your Show of Shows,  my favorite singer from the 50’s Little Richard, even Charlie Daniels and Kenny Rogers, my two favorite country western singers; and from sports your took Gale Sayers and my favorite basketball player Kobe Bryant.

I just wanted you to know that my favorite politicians are Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham…..Amen
