    @zahavasdad

    actually some degrees could be quicker than others. If Rabbi Booch has spent some time in Yeshiva, some colleges accept more Yeshiva credits than others (if at all), thus making it (relatively) “very quick” e.g. FDU, as @moishlkwd said.

    @minyan gal

    “would you want to have a doctor who thought like you do?”

    I agree that would be a bit unnerving if our doctors thought that way, but if Rabbi Booch doesn’t want to go into medicine, I don’t see why it’s so bad.

    Why do people think that if a degree is online it’s not “worth the paper it’s written on”… it really all depends on what you want to do with the degree. If you want to go to graduate school – check to see if the program you want to get into accepts people from that undergraduate program. If you want to get some kind of state license that requires a degree – again, see if they accept from that college. It all depends what you want to do with the degree.

    Anyway, I happen to know a bit about what @moishlkwd is talking about. Their website is fdu.edu/yeshiva. I’m not sure if you can do the classes all online, but I do know they have these “accelerated” classes that take place during Bein Hazmanim, like during Chol Hamoed Pesach and Succos in Teaneck, NJ. Visit their website/give them call for more details.

    @scissors

    were you by any chance drinking, smoking or under the influence of any kind of strong medications at the time?

    Along the lines of JayMatt19 – the torah tells us that Rivka shlepped jugs of water to feed eliezer and the whole caravan of camels – obviously, whatever her age was, she was very physically matured. I think keeping this in mind could mitigate one’s incredulity towards Rivka Imeinu being “old enough” to marry.

    farfrumt,

    Nice shots. I guess the obvious answer to “which one is photoshoped?” would be the subway picture – but assuming this is a trick question, I would guess the sofer one – why? simply b/c I’ve never seen a left-handed sofer! Of course, this could have just been a left-handed sofer. But either way, it definitely makes the picture nicer when he’s left-handed b/c this way you can also see the letters on the right!

    Keep up the great work,

    Thanks Wolf,

    I took that shot in Miami in the early hours of January 1 this past year. I think there was a lot of unnatural haze in the air from all the fireworks the night before that added to the “surreal-ness”.

    Wow! beautiful pics Wolf – my favorite is the llama! Where was that?

    I made an album of some of my own pics I took over the past year or so.
