After the Second Cup

Ad-d'lo-yada... from understanding... to not understanding... to a new level of understanding... to a new level of not understanding...

Guys and Disguise
by Chaim Walder

Early one morning in Elul, if you will recall, an Arab disguised as a chareidi made his way along Rechov Haneviim, intending to reach the Jaffa-King George busy intersection and wreak havoc. His disguise was quickly revealed and a chase begun in which he blew himself up `prematurely,' causing at worst, slight injuries to only a few passersby.

The next topic may not be an overly relevant one. However, you never know when such information may help someone. And besides, it is a very interesting topic.

We will speak about bites. People bites, animal bites, reptile bites, insect bites, and bites from animals that live in the waters.

They drink... and we drink...

Drunk
by Judy Belsky

A drunk
weaves up Cherry St.
enters and leaves bars
never more
than half a block
from his next drink

parched throats
thirst for relief
an invisible cord
pulls me to the sweet
wine of faith
