  1. RNS, considering you were born and bred where I am in England, you almost never come here-why not?Is there not enough demand?

  2. I've tried several times to arrange speaking engagements in England, and it's never worked out. Hopefully one day I'll be able to make it to London, but it doesn't look like I'll be returning to Manchester.

  6. Hi Rav, you note that you will be attending Young Israel of North Beverly Hills for Shabbos. Are you also planning on speaking at the shul? I did not see a topic listed. Thanks!!

  7. Live fearlessly-davka go to Manchester for the sake of those Jews who do want to hear you there. If riots erupt, so be it.

  8. Are you also planning on speaking at the shul?

    Of course, that's the whole point! Shabbos morning drasha, and afternoon lecture on brain death; I think it's at 710 N. Alpine Drive.

  9. Doesn't a Shabbos morning drasha usually conclude with brain death anyway? :-)

  10. Hi, What is the schedule for the Young Israel of Holliswood (Queens NY)? I live about 45 minute walk from there, I would like to know besides the mourning lecture what time will the afternoon lecture be at? Also what's the rest of the schedule?
