The Revolution is Here

כ״ה בכסלו ה׳תשס״ו (Monday 26 December 2005)

Over a year ago, some of my friends at Kumah asked me if I’d seen “the movie.” I hadn’t, so they showed me a short clip of what later grew into probably the greatest project ever done in Flash animation. The short movie is called Free Your Mind. A parody of “The Matrix,” it uses [...]

Welcome 3100 New Immigrants

כ״ה בכסלו ה׳תשס״ו (Monday 26 December 2005)

Exceptionally wonderful Aliyah news: with this year’s seventh Nefesh b’Nefesh flight, Aliyah from North America reaches a 22-year high. Of course, there are about 3100 people who deserve to be congratulated for this, but then it would also be fair to congratulate Nefesh b’Nefesh 3100 times (which I will not take up space here to [...]

Merry Hanukah!

כ״ד בכסלו ה׳תשס״ו (Sunday 25 December 2005)

Since there seems to be a lot of confusion among non-Jews about Hanukah, the Jewish holiday that begins tonight, I think I need to explain this one.

Jolly Randmas!

כ״ד בכסלו ה׳תשס״ו (Sunday 25 December 2005)

Today Faith in Nathan celebrates everyone’s favorite holiday of the year: Randmas, the birthday of Ayn Rand. As we all know, Ayn Rand was born exactly 100 years ago today, and immediately began rewarding herself with gifts. That is why, on Randmas, we each give presents to ourselves, to show appreciation to ourselves for what [...]

Felicitous Festivus!

כ״ב בכסלו ה׳תשס״ו (Friday 23 December 2005)

To everyone celebrating “a Festivus for the rest of us” tonight, I hope it goes well for you. Be weak during the Airing of Grievances and strong during the Feats of Strength, and just try not to have anything better to do. Take pictures standing next to your aluminum pole and send them to me.

Happy Winter Solstice!

כ׳ בכסלו ה׳תשס״ו (Wednesday 21 December 2005)

The Faith in Nathan community would like to extend to its pagan readership a happy winter solstice. The solstice, which apparently occurs tonight, marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. It also marks the beginning of winter according to American culture (in other cultures, today is midwinter). So, you know, happy solstice, [...]
