15Feb2007 Filed under: African-American, Arts and Culture, JVoices, Opinion, Torah Author: Aaron FreemanWe spent this week in Phoenix as Aaron guest hosted the Mike Malloy show on the new NovaM Radio Network.

Meanwhile, in heaven, we peek in on a Torah study session featuring another newly minted angel.

Wow guys – this is a detail, but one of my favorite moments in the whole torah is the “pavement of sapphire,” or however it’s translated… and I love how you’ve illustrated it! Thanks!
