Mikewind Dale - Michael Makovi

I'm a Modern Orthodox baal teshuva originally from Silver Spring MD. My learning (following high school) was three years in yeshivat Machon Meir, and several months in Yeshivat Hesder Petah Tiqwa (presently ongoing).To describe my religious beliefs in brief: if German or British Modern/Neo-Orthodox authorities of the late 19th and early 20th centuries said it, I probably agree. I've recently acquired a love for Mediterranean (particularly Turkish and Balkan) Judeo-Spanish Jewry, especially as expounded by Rabbi Dr. Marc D. Angel (who in turn follows Rabbi Benzion Uziel and his student Rabbi Haim David Halevy). http://www.facebook.com/people/Michael-Makovi/568980284http://michaelmakovi.blogspot.com
