Rabbi Eli Schlanger was putting on tefilin for Matilda’s father at the Chanukah party in Bondi Beach.

Moments later, terrorists massacred 15 innocent Jews, including Rabbi Eli and young Matilda, in her yellow dress.

May their memories forever be a blessing.

When it comes to language, context matters; MIT researchers identified three cognitive skills that we use to infer what someone really means.
When it comes to language, context matters | MIT News | Massachusetts Institute of Technology
New research shows our pragmatic language abilities — which allow us to understand nonliteral expressions like sarcasm or metaphors — can be grouped together based on what types of inferences they require. MIT researchers identified three clusters of pragmatic skills based on understanding social conventions and rules, how the physical world works, and differences in tone.
