Hi everyone. Let me introduce a friend, who will be posting on the ruthblog from time to time. Actually, I’ll let him introduce himself. Here is Arlemagne1, in his own words:

Born in Rockland County, a suburb of New York City, I am now an attorney and author residing in South Florida. I attended SUNY Binghamton for Undergraduate and University of Miami Law School for my professional training.

After law school, I practiced criminal law for eight years in Miami.

During law school, at the age of 21, I moved closer to my religious roots and went from being a mostly secular Jew to being an Orthodox Jew. My fellow Orthodox Jews would call me a ba’al teshuvah, a returnee to the faith.

Also during law school, I met and married my lovely wife Samantha. When we got married, Samantha was a sophomore in college. She graduated college and went to Medical School at Nova Southeastern University. When she finished her schooling and her internship, we moved to New York for three years for her to complete her residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. We have been married for eleven years.

When we moved to New York, I devoted my time to taking care of our two young children so my wife could finish her medical training.

During the time I had free when I was taking care of my children, I used my time to teach myself Biblical and Rabbinic Hebrew using a computer program called Super-Memo. I also wrote an upcoming novel called Bias Incident: The World’s Most Politically Incorrect Novel. I am currently looking for a publisher.

I just want to say to my readers that Arlemagne1 has been sending me interesting material for about a year. And we have been chatting on facebook. I finally decided to invite him to post himself!
