This not being New York City, where I am from, there was no cab line, no wait and no time to look at the car I was jumping into.

These spaces are not found inside physical institutions or places where demagoguery slays reflective, rational and factually grounded discourse. Reb Ezra Weinberg: I'll Never Forget Hod of Yesod Again How did I remember that today is the Hebrew calendar date of my son's first birthday?
