Proper word usage

As a fan of proper language, I really like this post by ProfK on the usage of words "nice" and "good". Check it out.

Could not resist to share.

Where do the Arabs get the flags for burning? Treppenwitz has the answer!

Gilgulim digest from jewish sources

I was always fascinated about apparent ease with which some speakers discuss soul transmigrations. Reincarnations with precise neshama lineage, speaking to neshamas of those no longer with us and other topics rarely arouse follow-up questions in audiences that I was a part of. I have asked a friend of mine to tell me more about the subject. He said that while he himself is not very proficient in this area of tradition, he will find me some good sources. This article is a good digest of different themes in subject of gilgul. It does not attempt to affirm or dispute the concept, but provides a good coverage from a chasidic perspective.

Enjoy! :)
