Izraelevitz: Passover, Glazed Donuts, And Graduate School
By DAVID IZRAELEVITZLos Alamos
Passover, glazed donuts, and graduate school do not mix well. This is a fact that I encountered, for five consecutive years, when I was a graduate student working on my doctoral degree. Full appreciation of this physical law requires some background, so please bear with me for a paragraph or two.
Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is the Jewish week-long holiday celebrating the Biblical Exodus of the Jews from Egypt. This year it started this past Monday evening. There is a ceremonial dinner, called the Passover Seder, that begins the week of Passover and introduces Read More

Community Invited To Maundy Thursday Service
Fr. Glenn: Love And Self-Sacrifice
By Rev. Glenn JonesImmaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church
Los Alamos
As we come to Holy Week—the week which precedes Easter Sunday—there are many events upon which Christians focus: the Last Supper of Jesus with His apostles on Holy Thursday, His Passion (from the Latin “passio”, meaning “suffering”), His death from crucifixion, His entombment, and His resurrection early on Easter Sunday morning.

Los Alamos
For more than 2000 years the Roman Catholic Church has had the crucifix—a figure of Jesus crucified on a cross—as the focal point on the altar for believers as we enter our basilicas, cathedrals, shrines, churches, or chapels.
The crucifix is situated near or on the altar, and Catholics “bless themselves” by making a sign of the cross with holy water and bending the knee at the foot of the cross in reverence to Christ. The crucifix is a visible reminder of the Read More
