The Methodology of Miracles: Examining Once-in-History Events and our Everyday Lives Through the Lens of Science and Torah

Beakers & Black Hats: A Scientist’s Return

He discusses (a) what drew him to a more connected/observant life, (b) the successful and painless transition to it, and (c) life as an orthodox Jew in a professional setting.
