My wife Miriam and I invite you to join in celebrating our 52nd year of marriage by following our blogart project "Torah Tweets: A Postdigital Biblical Commentary as a Blogart Narrative" at http://torahtweets.blogspot.com. During each of the 52 weeks of our 52nd year, we post six photographs reflecting our life together with torah tweet captions that relate the weekly torah reading to our lives, past and present.
