An arsonist hit a Mississippi synagogue Saturday. Seven Torahs were damaged or destroyed in the fire.
One Torah, from the Holocaust, was in a glass case and wasn't touched.
The same synagogue was bombed by the KKK in 1967.

But I hadn't thought enough about how desperately we want to be *good parents*
But I hadn't thought enough about how desperately we want to be *good parents*
The biggest project I've worked on for the last chunk of years was just published. It asks, how big are US Black-white lifespan differences?
