Rashi's 900th Yahrzeit

Today is the 900th anniversary of Rashi's death.

I only mention this because the picture I chose for myself is actually supposed to be a portrait of Rashi:

Also, the Shlock Rock version of the Association's Windy, called Rashi, is very catchy.

Compliments

The Jerusalem Report:"A seemingly indefatigable one-man operation, armed only with a computer, chutzpa and stamina."
Algemeiner: "Fiercely intelligent and erudite"

Omri: "Elder is one of the best established and most respected members of the jblogosphere..."
Atheist Jew:"Elder of Ziyon probably had the greatest impression on me..."

The Israel Situation:The Elder manages to write so many great, investigative posts that I am often looking to him for important news on the PalArab (his term for Palestinian Arab) side of things."

Mondoweiss commenter: "For virulent pro-Zionism (and plain straightforward lies of course) there is nothing much to beat it."
