Up and down the City Road

Thanks to snow making the sidestreets impassable (or at any rate not safely passable) by bike, I finally got to see the Eagle pub of nursery rhyme fame today. I must have cycled past it many times before, but without noticing it, as I was concentrating on avoiding traffic on City Road, and popping weasels.

Notes from Limmud 2014: My Two Sons: Ishmael and Isaac

( After Abraham sends Hagar and Ishmael away, we never hear about Abraham and Ishmael interacting again; the only subsequent reference to him in the Bible is when Ishmael came back to help bury Abraham. But the Midrash fills the gap. )
