Did you ever consider adorning the walls of your home or apartment with art work?
I’ve been doing that for decades.

OK, you know I love art. I have written about my collection often.
Since I was introduced to owning art- now going back more than half a century- I have only purchased art that moves me. Whether it was places- the Wailing Wall (now called the Western Wall) and the Brooklyn Bridge come to mind; faces and emotion (Moshe Gur’s dramatic painting of Ethiopian refugees and Nikki Imber’s Jewish refugees and redemption come to mind); or abstruse (Agam is a great example), I choose what I love.
Those of you who have visited my home (for Shabat dinner? for a holiday party?) or just read my blog routinely know that I LOVE art. My home is replete with paintings, drawings, sculptures, and crafts. Dali, Max, Erte, Agam, Egbi, Imber are among the many different artist’s compositions hanging on my walls, in cabinets, or on the floor.

I’ve written about meta-analyses before. In particular, it’s an interesting method to examine medical data from diverse studies. It’s not something new. (It’s been around for almost 1000 years, clearly using the existent statistics.) The trick is that you need large studies to be linking together, or the results get to be too limited in value.

I’ve written many times about my art collection. I’m sure there are pieces I have you’d want in your home or office, but others you would simply detest. That’s the point about art- it’s an individual appreciation activity.
