(Friends, this post was initially written on Jan 14, 2026, a solid 3.5 weeks before the actual Super Bowl, which, for those who’re counting, was a Very Big Patriots loss. But what a year it’s been.

Please Note: We interrupt murders, hate crimes and tragedies to bring you this message.  Montreal Is Home I am deeply grateful to have grown up as part of an English-speaking, Jewish community in a predominantly French-speaking, Catholic city.
