Happy 4th of July

I just wanted to take a brief moment to wish my readers and friends a Happy 4th of July. We are heading to a simcha tomorrow and (weather permitting) will be headed out to the fireworks in the evening. It seems so appropriate to mix a Torah occasion with Independence Day and we are looking forward to both celebrations.

So, a Happy 4th and I look forward to continuing with our regular programming very soon.

    Thanks Anon for introducing me to this new Sephardi halacha site. I actually found the answer to a question I had regarding Shabbat and candlelighting!

    You're welcome. They seem to be sort of liberal/intellectual Sepharadic (Syrian I believe - Halabi I guess) Modern-Orthodox. They have sponsored some interesting lectures on occasion.
