Jewish History

R. Mordechai ben Hillel was a prominent scholar who lived in Nuremberg, Germany. He authored a famous halachic compendium known as Mordechai, included in all standard printings of the Talmud. R. Mordechai, his wife, and five children were killed in the notorious Rindfleisch massacres (see entry for 7 Iyar), on 22 Menachem Av, 5058 (1298).

Daily Thought

People might tell you, “When you come to work, leave your spirituality at home. Don’t bother us with your peculiar lifestyle, your ethics, search for meaning . . . That’s all nice, but this is business. This is the real world.”

There is only one real world, and it belongs to one real G‑d.
