Dr. Bregman, I ike the blog. I would make one edit in your December 25th piece. You mention masks contributing to antisemitism. You should broaden this to include anti-asian and other forms of hate. Thanks.

What were Rachel’s candles in? Was there a throw away cake or were they kept standing by some contraption? Or thick enough to stand on their/it’s own?

Hi Reb. Just to let you know, it's the rare post that you write that I DON'T want to send to family and friends. This is another great one, and it will also go to the head of school where I teach. Such good advice on masks. (And candles.)

Thanks for doing a great job and writing well. I am a veterinarian and require that any client who wants to be in a small room with me wear a mask. I pretty much already follow your mask rules and I really appreciate how little illness I've experienced over the past 3 years. And I hope that continues!

Being a family doctor is a hard job every day, every season. Bertie’s emphatic and smart writing feels that - he is not just a family doctor - he is family. And a doctor. Thanks. Toda.

Bertie, this is great. I’m sending to my boys so they can read this before getting on the plane!! They (more Yoni) make fun of me for wearing masks still at times. Have a wonderful holiday!!!
