AI in my World at Three-Quarters of a Century Old (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This year, my 75th birthday fell on Rosh HaShana, the Jewish New Year. It also fell on the infamous 9/11 but it has been doing that since my 50th. It just became an easy way for friends to remember my birthday while I have no equivalent mnemonic to remember theirs.I find this year’s overlap with Rosh HaShana a convenient trigger to write this article. Birthdays and New Year’s Day are good for assessing the previous year and making personal resolutions. So I think it is appropriate to write this
It Took Me Two Months to Digest What I Heard (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Qusra: The Puzzle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two points seemed to have slipped under the radar even as the settler tent erected outside three Palestinian homes next to Qusra in Area B inspired vigorous media attention condemning the youth and supporting the youth. These two items generated no more than a few words here and there. And those words did not seem to raise eyebrows.For me, it led to an OMG-moment.Part 1 of this series: Six Days under “Siege”: What the Reporting does not ResolvePart 2: <a href="https://ozsheri.substack.com/p/how-
