dad breaks his wrist/ reb noach dies

dad fell and broke his wrist. i felt dizzy after the bris and attributed it to smoking, but now a few days later i discover that i have a cold and maybe this same combination of germs that made me dizzy and then turned into a cold contributed to dad's lack of balance and his fall. it certainly messes things up.

reb noach weinberg died on thursday. as his yeshiva was an up escalator taking people from secular to religious, i sometimes describe the time that i spent there as walking down the up escalator.
