Of all of the Haredi (Observant) Jewish sects, the Lubavitcher Hasids have my respect. Instead of tuning out the entire secular world as bad, they've taken to technology to strengthen their practice of trying to bring Jews back into a more observant, but not stifling, practice. They're a fun bunch to talk to - the Satmars, Bobovs and other sects do not talk to outsiders.
Lubavitchers embrace them.

 I'm Kevin Roddy, an Associate Professor and Information Literacy Librarian at Kapi'olani Community College in Honolulu, on the Island of O'ahu. This site was originally created to keep folks up-to-date with my linguistic fieldwork on the Island of Yap in Micronesia. I graduated last summer, so the site has now morphed into a multi-faceted blog. View my professional site here, and my magickal background here.
