David ben Solomon ibn Abi Zimra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "For unknown reasons, he left Erez Israel at the age of 31 or 32 and traveled to Fes, where he became a member of the beth din (rabbinical court) presided over by the nagid Isaac Sholal.[3]
In 1517, upon the abolition of the office of nagid by the Turkish government, the Radbaz moved to Cairo. There he was appointed Hakham Bashi, or Chief Rabbi of Egypt, a title he held for forty years. He was highly revered for his vast knowledge, integrity of character, and extensive philanthropy."

Jewish Thought of the Day
Jewish Thought of the Day: "He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it, and sometimes they’ll dump it on you. Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets."

A Jewish Approach to Relationships
A Jewish Approach to Relationships: "After dating and being physical for a decade, I have decided to become shomer negiah. I am dating a wonderful man whom I have not touched, and we are both interested in getting married (hopefully to each other) in the near future. I feel that this is a very empowering step for me because it means that I will not settle for anyone who does not truly appreciate me and love me for who I am. Thank you for being another stepping stone in my growth."
