A Life Interrupted, a Dream Fulfilled

Moshe Hammer\’s pieces look like quirkier, black-ink versions of medieval illuminated manuscripts. The Hebrew letters dance and morph into images based on his intensive studies of commentaries on the sefarim. Apparently, Hammer was feverishly working on such drawings when he took one of his late-night walks to clear artist\’s block in July 2004. He had trekked miles from his Fairfax area apartment when the truck hit him at the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Western Avenue, killing him instantly, according to a coroner\’s report.

Did You Know…?

Just remember: The most important parts of planning an event is having fun and enjoying the benefits of all your hard work.

Geneva Initiative Is Merely a Dream

The Geneva initiative is a dream. It\’s unrealistic; it\’s hoopla. I suppose people need diversions in their lives.

That it was a private Israeli citizen and members of the opposition party who drafted the initiative is fine in my book. That\’s not a crime in Israel. There is no Logan Act forbidding ex-officio personalities from engaging in foreign negotiations. Israel actually has a history of similar actions.

The plan lays out borders that nearly approximate a return of Israel to pre-1967 borders. But it was the prerogative of those who composed the plan to put in it whatever they saw fit. So that, too, is OK with me.

What bothers me is that those who drafted the initiative and those who applaud the initiative don\’t realize that it is only a dream. They think of it as a reality.

Dream a Little Dream

Joseph\’s life is linked to dreams from his youth, and the way in which he responds to dreams reflects the level of his maturity.
