When Worlds Collide

Funny how things work out. Karen and I are about to leave for Israel for the unveiling for Karen’s father ZT’L. And this week, Virtual Jerusalem, the fine website serializing my How I Married Karen story, is running the very chapter where I ask Rabbi Singer’s permission to marry Karen. As they say in Hollywood: timing is everything.

The unveiling for Karen’s father, Rabbi Philip Harris Singer ZT’L will take place Friday, November 24, 2006 (Kislev 3) at 10:00 am. The cemetery is Eretz Hachaim near Beit Shemesh, Israel. Block 1 Section 8.

Karen and I are flying to Israel on Sunday November 19th.

Comment Rules

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.

  1. No profanity.
  2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism.

That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.

    robert,
    perhaps i made a poor choice of words above regarding my jealousy. obviously i wish you were going for a more joyous reason than an unveiling. (though i’m sure you are looking forward to seeing juniorette #3.)

    Ari:
    We’ll be in Israel just a week. Our itinerary is to spend as much time with Offspring #3 as possible. We’ll also be having Thanksgiving dinner in Jerusalem.

    This is bracing will be a powerful trip, no doubt. I’d like to volunteer to be on a Seraphic Security Team – to fend off paparazzi and terrorists.
