    My favorite part of seder this year was my father-in-law going around the table and making everyone announce whose bar mitzvah or wedding their yarmulke was from. One was from 1979! 🤪

    Governor of Iowa: I'm going to make the worst Passover tweet! Governor of Georgia: hold my (not kosher for Passover) beer.

    Haha the Governor of Georgia also doesn’t have any Jews on staff — deleted tweet from yesterday.

    And I almost missed one of the important clues because I searched for records for a man whose first name started with JUD, but the record was mistranscribed; his his name is listed as JADKO. Which is why you always need to search flexibly.

    For those who saw my Ukraine talk, I have been on an EPIC dun dun journey this afternoon. Leading to finding the marriage record of a client's great-great grandparents in Ostrow Mazowiecka in 1880. Which all stemmed from figuring out that the street name listed here was BOERUM.

    Tradition also has it that April 16 is the day that the author of "An Odyssey" -- as well as a forthcoming translation of Homer's epic -- was born! HBD, .

    Tradition has it that April 16 is the day on which Odysseus finally set foot on Ithaca again after twenty years’ absence.
