Friday Wrap-Up

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-up (2/23/2018)

It’s been an incredibly sad week in the aftermath of the shooting at Stoneman Douglas high school in nearby Parkland, Florida. I commend all of the students for speaking up to share their thoughts on what can and should be done in an effort to prevent these types of tragedies from recurring in the future. I didn’t watch any of NBA All-Star Weekend, and the most significant happening seemed to be Fergie’s rendition of the National Anthem that was, um, interesting to say the least. I’m staying active on my LinkedIN account, posting a lot of insight about what it is like managing my own law firm. Come check it out if you haven’t already.
