Our last show... I interviewed Rabbi Nesanel Kasnett, a Senior Editor on
the Artscroll Talmud project, about the effort -- which hopes to finish
the entire Talmud in time for the Siyum HaShas, completion of the
Talmud, of the Daf Yomi, folio-per-day cycle. Also, Jonah Ottensoser joined us, fresh from the pages of Wired Magazine, to discuss how companies are modifying high-tech appliances to ensure that they meet the needs of observant Jews. I also took some time to discuss everything that is keeping me busy, explaining why I decided not to renew the radio contract for another quarter. | |

| Lots of commentary this week, as I discuss the idea of
