How do we make sense of a world where bad things happen to good people? Over 25 hundred years ago, the author(s) of the Bible's Book of Job wrestled with this question, one that continues to resonate with artists and writers today. In this three-part online course, Temple Israel's Scholar-in-Residence Professor David Sperling and Rabbi Emerita Jennifer Jaech will explore major themes in the Book of Job, and popular culture expert Dan Theodore will bring some modern-day perspectives.

BY SPECIAL REQUEST--FROM 2012---CHRONICLES OF CROTON'S BOHEMIA CONTINUES, MABEL DODGE, ROBERT SCOTT

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

BY SPECIAL REQUEST---FROM 2012 AND THE LATE ROBERT SCOTT

In his newest Postscripts series titled "Chronicles of Croton's Bohemia," Croton's own Robert Scott focuses his attention on the many fascinating personalities who contributed to the vibrant bohemian community that flourished in Croton and Harmon a century ago.

This week's article tells the story of wealthy socialite Mabel Dodge, the catalyst who brought artists, writers, radicals and intellectuals together in her salon--the "movers and shakers" whose ideas on art, politics, relationships and sexual equality were upsetting the old order. Read the Mabel Dodge story on Postscripts at http://notorc.blogspot.com/2012/09/mabel-dodge-power-of-money.html

AHOP QUESTIONS CONTINUE

The blog CONTINUES to receive many questions (and commentary) on the AHOP program---the mechanism/program to be employed at the LOT A site/sale to WBP. Some of these questions can be answered by doing a deep dive at the website: Affordable Homeownership Opportunity Program | Homes and Community Renewal

Others may require a foil request. Ditto for questions we are receiving on existing "affordable housing"/low income housing PILOTS that the village has entered into. Good luck in your research. Please share anything of interest.

IN THE NEWS - EXIT TIM WALZ, STAGE BIDEN

Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) abandoned his ludicrous quest for a third term on Jan. 5. He has angrily refused to resign from office. Whenever he departs, whether upon his resignation some time this year or the expiration of his term early next year, we can say this much with certainty: Like former President Joe Biden, he has become a dispensable inconvenience to Democrats, in this case, Minnesota Democrats facing the 2026 elections at all levels of state government, and, like Biden, he will leave office in disgrace.
