Alissa posted this sign on our front door on Friday; she figured the tooth fairy would benefit from a little advance notice. The layout is kinda boustrophedonic (boustrophedental?) but it says, reading down the left column and up the right, "Dear tooth fairy, my tooth wo [=will] fall out soon."


A closeup of some text from Max's machzor. Can anyone identify the lettershapes that are neither standard Hebrew block letters nor standard Rashi script? I've never seen those lettershapes before; they seem to show up in Yiddish "stage direction" paragraphs, often in place names, I think.
