I was in La Habana Cuba it was in the months of March and April of 1948. I liked toasting and eating at the bar-café-club, called La Bodeguita del Medio, I knew the manager slightly, and my wife Delia, loved to sit with me at the front bar, as the musicians played against the wall, and the crowd would stand halfway outside the door: --everyone singing together. James would capture a picture of me now and then; sell them to me for a buck and save the rest. Had me sign a few, I was a writer back then, or trying to be, I'm retired now, that's when I met Mr...

The aforementioned expenses represent direct materials (wood), direct labour (carpenter) and direct expenses (tool maintenance). Those are all...

On Pesach evening, we read from the Haggadah. This perfectly formulated ordered book is said to include the very secrets of the entire world. It seems like a conglomeration of totally disconnected points. Yet to the discerning eye - and of course the seasoned Torah scholar, the story of the Exodus - the Jewish people's leaving the land of Egypt to go towards true freedom, the Land of Israel with the Torah itself - is perfectly told, no matter how it looks on the surface. For this reason, perhaps, the Haggadah is the chosen method of sharing the story - rather than, for example, simply opening the book of Exodus and reading it from beginning to end.
