About Us

My father's colleague while in seminary, is rumored to be, a convert from Islam to Christainity, Masud.  In that Masud, our family line has maintained, sometimes at the pain of financial ruin and death, our defense of religious tradition.  While in college in Santa Barbara, the founder of this site became close friends with Araj and Soheil from Iran.  Araj's family fled from the ayatollah and arrived in England in the 70's, nevertheless, we met in college.  Smoked hookah, celebrated the Persian new year in L.A., amongst other things.   

My college golfmate and roomate was 1/2 Russian Jew and we did the same as well as smoking, drinking, snorting, and business building with 'The Kohen' whose father designed weapon systems for the Israeli government in the 80's...both being 'life-long friends' despite not being in immediate contact on a day to day basis.  

Besides 'letting the 4th commandment being with you' as a guiding Shabbas light, foodstuffs discussions and analysis, can often times, perhaps, be somewhat of an intermediary between, at times, contentious scenarios. 

One of my sisters, when arriving back from Ethiopia and attending a Mosque in North Africa, was offered to be the 'leader of the Ethiopian Youth Movement' in Africa - had she stayed in Ethiopia, the Muslim faction of that country may have made her 'Queen' - it's a good thing my family line had the foresight to set her straight...

As with a religion, takes years of study to begin to even know the differences between one thing and another, let alone understand the reasons behind one thought or set of actions from another.

To discover my father's and myself family line, visit - ToBeLikeJes.us and my writings about one of the chapters in my father's book - Doctrine of Theosis. "Theo's sister?  From Fresh Prince of Bellaire?"

After 'startups', working at big tech companies, becoming a real estate investor...became interested in Judaism...

Ate with Chabad and the Israelis for roughly 2 years in Vegas and celebrated the Feast of Booths in L.A. with a Persian Family and an Chabad accountant from Chicago showed me the ritual of hand washing...

Unfortunately, did predict the recent war while, at the same time, celebrating Sukkot.

During the crusades, believe it or not, many arabs did 'switch sides' to fight on behalf of King Richard the Lionheart, a wise decision.
