Last Sundays 70 degree sunny day in March had me flashing back to this sunrise session with my neighbor, David, and his sweetie of a pup, Kali. Any Thorndale Ave Beach regular might recognize this dynamic duo and their ritualistic routine of hand-to-paw five followed by an exuberant throw of the frisbee into the water. Kali knows exactly when to head out into Lake Michigan to retrieve her prize possession, even in choppy, ocean like waves, she’s a determined dog. When she wants to level up she will also grab her rubber ball and a golf ball, fitting all of them in her mouth at once with pride. David is a very dedicated dog dad and watching the two of them is pure poetry. Can’t wait for them to be back in action in just a few short months.

Tonight is the Jewish holiday of Purim and I wanted to share my favorites from Purim’s past celebrations. The laughter, the music, the joy, the costumes, and most importantly the Rabbis. At my congregation our head rabbi is basically a rock star and does a mean Taylor Swift. And her counterpart knows how to rock the rainbow while diving in deep as we examine the human condition together. Weekend update is always a hit a full bar can help to ignite the crowd. Looking forward to another fun evening of shenanigans and laughter.
