Rethinking Anonymous' win
On Wednesday I wrote about my bet with anonymous, as to how many people would show up to shul on Thursday morning, in homor of Yom Haatzmaut. Yesterday, I conceded that I was wrong, and there were not nearly as many extra people in shul on Thursday.
It occured to me, as I looked around shul this morning, and there were only about 25 people there, that the Wednesday morning crowd was not a regular crowd, it was already larger because of Yom HaZikaron. Of course Yom Haatzmaut won't significantly outdraw Yom Hazikaron. The same people who celebrate one celebrate the other. The only fair comparison would have been to this morning's minyan, or to Tuesday's minyan (or to last thursday's minyan, but there are no attendance figures going back that far). And based on this morning's attendance, Yom Haatzmaut had the 50% attendance increase that I predicted.

Why am I so interested in the minutiae of your everyday life?
Why do you read this
Thats what I want to know, Why am I drawn to AirTime on a daily, sometimes multiple daily basis.
Surely it is not because I am interested in Detroit Sports Teams
Because you know at any time I might focus my attention back on our beloved rabbi.
Nope.
No real interest in your beloved Rabbi. Maybe some interest in some old MH and SY stories
MH and SY?
mercaz and skokie?
