We Are Jewish, And We Are All Connected.
September Mad Mensch: Dead Jewish Bodies Aren’t Social Justice.
An old goy. A recurring number in Torah; the number of days and nights Noah schlepped the seas, the years the Israelites wandered the desert learning things and finding the promised land (and kvelling to Moshe). 40 meant at the time “a very long time” and may not refer to a specific unit of time, and it’s also the meaning of quarantine (4 x 10).
