Re: [ha-Safran]: The best convention

Malka, You are right. I should have mentioned the CEU session. The Judaic resources that Michael Kay provided are very useful. I was also impressed by his Judaic knowledge and teaching skill. (In addition to the view the food was delicious. We got food for the soul and for the mind as well). K
