This is a Davar Torah or sermon (click on link) I gave at Park Slope Jewish Center during Shabbat morning services on June 22, 2019, which was my brother Robert's 26th yahrzeit (death anniversary) on the Jewish calendar. I gave a shorter version of the same talk at AltShul two weeks earlier.

I describe mine in a comment to [livejournal.com profile] novapsyche's post. But that was not my earliest election day recollection. I remember accompanying my parents to the polls for a state wide election two years earlier. I tried to do an extemporaneous poll of my own, but when I asked the grownups present for whom they were voting everyone had the same reply: "the best man." There were no women on the ballot in 1958. I must have been a cute three year old.
