As is the custom in this household, tonight we light the first candle and then I treat myself to a glass of 12-year-old Redbreast. It’s a long story. My old friend Sid explained it this way once at Congregation Emanu-El when some stranger asked him about me: Well, as you know there are several traditions in Judaism. There’s Reformed, Conservative, Orthodox, Ultra-Orthodox, and Irish Catholic.
I have never commented on any site, but thought this would be a good time.
I had given up on reading a journalist writing just the facts and then there you are telling us all the truth about the residential schools, China and the rampant anti-semitism in our own government. So thank you and keep telling it as it is. Merry Christmas!
Hi Terry, I think more podcasts is a great idea. Those good conversations could also feed content to your newsletter and it’s quite enjoyable to listen to smart people converse.
Please don’t do a podcast. Enough of those are around already, and your strengths are research and writing in your own very special way. Keep up what you already do. The best of the season to you and your loved ones.
Hi Terry, I think some podcasts would be great! I really enjoy your articles! I hope for the New Year is the War in the Ukraine to end. I wish you the very Best of the New Year! Take care and sip that Redbreast!
I’m enjoying your Substack very much and a podcast would an excellent addition. There’s not many of you actually diving into the facts and relevant background on news stories so the more material the better.
#1, you can write any time you want, or don't want, your readers won't desert you. Don't feel obligated to keep to a schedule. #2, blogs to me go in one ear and out the other. You impressed me on a National Post blog this week but I can't remember what you said. There's no time to let it sink in. That being said, do whatever you want, your patrons will follow. #3, I really don't mind when you go off script and tell some history...go Maccabees indeed!

Hey. Love your writing and your wisdom. It’s marvellous. May 2023 be the dawning of a new age, where a few tyrants get knocked over.

What a beautiful photo you took! Wishing you some excellent down time with friends and family.
Merry Christmas Terry!
Whatever you decide, I know I will enjoy reading, regularity not as important as content, I love the idea of a podcast.
Enjoy the festive season, and the same good cheer and keep well to all your readers.
