Ezzie's Blog Roundup, 6/15: Serach Gets Hooded

In about 12 hours, my wife - Serach Navah (Luchins) Goldish - will be getting hooded. She graduated magna cum laude to earn her Master's Degree in Education & Special Education from the Touro Graduate School for Education. She actually completed it at the end of last summer, but the ceremony was not until today. Anyways... YAY, SERACH!! :)

We'll be at the graduation, along with my in-laws and grandparents, so blogging will undoubtedly be lighter than normal. That works out wonderfully, as you all can wish Serach a hearty Mazel Tov in the next post, which is the 1,000th post on this blog.

And with that, we continue on to the roundup...

Who knew it was Flag Day?! I did - and so did Meryl.

It's a grand ol' flag, it's a high-flying flag, and forever in peace may it wave... it's the emblem of the land I love, the home of the free and the brave... every heart beats true under red, white, and blue where there's ne'er a boast or brag... but should ol' acquaintance be forgot, keep your eyes on the grand ol' flag! - I've had that in my head since we did a play in 4th grade. Wow.

LkwdGuy points to a brilliantly written post by David of Lakewood about Tach V'Tat - then asks what gain we have from remembering tragedies. Good answers so far in the comments.
