Description: Blog of Rabbi Yonassan Gershom, exploring connections between Judaism, Hasidism, nature, ecology, etc.
Musings, insights, stories and nature observations from a Hasidic Jew living in the Great North Woods. (And respectfully seeking to help my fellow Jews recover from "Nature Deficit Disorder.")
My 18-year-old grandson needed a photo ID. Here's what it took to get one. (And why requiring a photo ID to vote is a bad idea.)
I first drove him to the DMV office, where he learned that his hospital birth certificate was not sufficient. He needed a certified one from the county courthouse. And needed a Social Security card. He knew his number, but the card was lost, probably still with his now-absent mother. (Last time we heard, she was somewhere in Duluth.)
