The Three Musketeers at the Kotel

The Three are Rabbi Yehuda Glick, famous temple mount activist, and former Israel Mk, and then Robert Weinger, the world's greatest shofar blower and seller of Shofars, and myself after we had gone to the 12 gates of the Temple Mount in 2020 to blow the shofar to ask G-d to heal the world from the Pandemic. It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember.

The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in. Love Rabbi Yehuda Lave.

Ancient Romans used concrete more durable than modern concrete

The ancient Romans are known for many innovations that were ahead of their time, including running water and a rotating dining room. But some of the civilization’s construction work seems ahead of even our time. Case in point: Concrete used in some ancient Roman construction is much stronger than most modern concrete, surviving for millennia and getting stronger, not weaker, over time. Roman concrete endures even in seismically active regions and without reinforcement. The secret ingredient? The sea.

According to a recipe by Roman engineer Marcus Vitruvius from 30 BCE, builders mixed this ancient mortar with a combination of volcanic ash, lime, and seawater, poured it into wooden molds, then soaked it in additional seawater. This created a strong concrete suitable for dramatic structural designs. The material essentially reinforced itself over time, especially in, but not limited to, marine environments. Some 2,000-year-old sea walls, such as those lining the Italian coast, are near-indestructible, and the basic method has also kept walls in the Trajan’s Market archaeological complex standing since the second century CE.
