Never Mind the Goldbergs flashback moment: Patrick A. of the band Can Can goes on a rant against hating Orthodox folks. "Some of the most hardcore dudes I know are Orthodox." And so are you, brother.
And, also under the heading of people whose company I am humbled to be in: Eliyahu Enriquez, whose poetry continues to slay me every time he gets on a stage, shouts me out in a new poem:
Ontological Anarchy
For Matthue Roth and Naftali Yawitz
When Elijah prayed
You sent fire
And charged him
To care
For a widow and orphan.
What I got was asylum.
I got angry,
Despised my roots,
So I became orphaned.
