Moshe Heinemann: A matzah that is completely white on both sides should not be used, since it may not have been thoroughly baked. Matzah meal should be slightly brown in color, which indicates a better bake on the matzos that were used for the matzah meal.
WIKIPEDIA: According to the Bible, Galilee was named by the Israelites and was the tribal region of Naphthali and Dan, at times overlapping the Tribe of Asher's land.

Purge Sends Chilling Message to Elite
Last week, Korea's spy agency gave the first word that Kim Jong Un's Uncle may have been dismissed his own nephew. It said he had not been seen publicly in weeks and his two closest confidants executed.
The North's media has not confirmed the executions, but today it made vividly clear that Jang is out. Images aired on TV showed him being stripped of all his titles at the party meeting led by Kim. Premier Pak Pong Ju was in tears as he denounced his longtime friend.
This time, there was no white general's uniform: Jang was dressed in civilian wear and sitting in the audience, not with the rest of the leadership. Party members watched impassively, barely flinching or raising an eyebrow, as two burly men grabbed Jang.
Media laid out a laundry list of Jang's transgressions, including instigating party dissent and squandering party funds on drugs, gambling, and women. He was branded "depraved" for living a "capitalist" lifestyle.
Koreans sometimes "disappear" for re-education and re-emerge later, and Jang has been purged before. He dropped out of sight for a few years in the mid-2000s, reportedly for going too far with fledgling economic reforms under Kim Jong Il. But today's public pillorying was unprecedented, and a startling show for a regime that typically keeps its internal politics secret.
Michel Gondry: I always forget names, when I have to say themMichel Gondry: Instead of staying home or just watching TV or watching movies on the net or what ever, which is great, too, but I think, sometimes, it is good that you get your ass out of the House.
Dad: You are no longer a child, Reuven. It is almost possible to see the way your mind is growing and your heart, too… so, listen to what I am going to tell you: human beings do not live forever, Reuven. We live less than the time it takes to blink an eye, if we measure our lives against eternity, so it may be asked, ‘What value is there to a human life? There is so much pain in the world. What does it mean to have to suffer so much, if our lives are nothing more than the blink of an eye?’ I learned a long time ago, Reuven, that a blink of an eye in itself is nothing, but the eye that blinks: that is something; a span of life is nothing, but the man who lives the span: he is something. He can fill that tiny span with meaning, so its quality is immeasurable, though its quantity may be insignificant. Do you understand what I am saying? A man must fill his life with meaning: meaning is not automatically given to life. It is hard work to fill one’s life with meaning. That I do not think you understand yet. A life filled with meaning is worthy of rest. I want to be worthy of rest, when I am no longer here. Do you understand what I am saying?

Murmuring Mestizo Multitude

Japanese-Jewish Artists
Hilarious. Phil Kaye, who collaborates with Sarah Kay on Project VOICE, is also a Japanese Jew. For the record, in their own words:
We have done extensive research, and we promise we aren't related. We also promise we aren't married. Or dating. Or ever plan on dating. Many people have pondered this bizarre set of circumstances in search of meaning, but the most likely explanation is that we have stumbled across a wrinkle in the Universe, and are two sides of the same coin. At least, that's how we figure.

Introducing Danny Katz
Attended Sulu Series last night @ the Bowery Poetry Club. Finally got to check out Japanese-Jewish Musician, Danny Katz, live & upclose. Here are some unconventional photos I took of the fellow Asian Heeb, off-stage, admiring our Queer peers from afar.
A Haiku dedicated to Danny Katz will appear in my forthcoming collection of Pinoy Piyyutim (Chipmunka Publishing, Winter 2009).

For Danny Katz
Now that Asian Jews
Are "The New Jews," The Old Jews
Can leave for Sinai.
For Danny Katz
Now that Asian Jews
Are "The New Jews," The Old Jews

Danny Katz is a bastion within the burgeoning Asian-American Indie Music scene in NYC. His collaborations with the likes of Filipino-American Artist, Jay Legaspi I find refreshing during the rough recessionary period, particularly this clandestine, East Asian acoustic jam session:
Chasing Cars
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
would you lie with me and just forget the world?
It's been a long, hard winter.
Almost over.

"Now the area in front of the Tabernacle, in The East toward The Rising of The Sun, was reserved for the tents of Moyshe and of Aharon and his sons, who had the final responsibility for maintaining the sanctuary on behalf of K'lal Yisrayel and the rites of worship. Any unauthorized stranger other than a priest or Levite who came too near the sanctuary shall be put to death" (Bamidbar 3:38).
