What did you do in your community for the Shabbos project?
Absolutely nothing
How do you know that all of your community did nothing?
And if so, why announce that to e/o?
In boro park there was nothing it was a completely normal shabes
I tried to do some things that we don’t usually do, like we sang zemiros. Haven’t done it in a while. It was a nice enhancer. The project’s site has nice stories that are inspiring to read. May we use our good inspiration to keep growing
Thought it was a bit of a flop till i saw the frum papers this week. Doesn’t look like theyre just pumping it up, seems lagit
Lol
I think it was a pretty solid turnout. Sure seems like it from the writeups.
All the more a pity bp didn’t take part
We’re not interested in it and besides where do we have room for guests ?
Royal “we”? There are thousands yidden in bp who are interested and have room! Speak for yourself!
If you’re not interested in it then don’t be surprised when your children aren’t interested in Shabbos.
I’m the community representive so what I say goes for everyone in bp
I’m the community representive, so wee have a bit of a problem.

I tried to do some things that we don’t usually do namely, that I spent Shabbos in Yerusholayim, to spite the Hamas who tried to scare us away from Israel this past summer.
Ari-f, that seems a little harsh.
Children are self-centered creatures. Having guests at the Shabbos table is nice as far as being mechanech them to do Hachnasas Orchim. But a lot of kids will enjoy Shabbos if they have their parents’ undivided attention at the table. They’ll enjoy talking and eating and singing and spending time together during Seudos Shabbos. Yes, even if that includes a little bickering with their sibs. I don’t know if sm29 has kids. But I’ll bet if he does, they enjoyed the Shabbos project without any unfamiliar guests.
@rebyidd no ur Flatbush representative I’m the boro park representative phishteists ?
yes I realize it was too harsh. Just as you don’t want to turn people off from Shabbos by being harsh about it, I also shouldn’t turn people off from doing kiruv and hachnosas orchim by being harsh about it, making them feel guilty, etc. Torah should be made pleasant to all Jews and not just newbies.
Have we clarified who’s the representative of what?
No. I’m the representative of both.
Anyone have the challah recipe used for the challah baking part of the project?
No your not my friend I’m the representative but
We’ll see who wins the election for representative today
The election doesn’t count. I’m permanently the representative of both. And I know what you are. You’re the representative of Norway.
How are you the representative of bp you don’t even know Yiddish you know what you can be a foreign ambassador for the non chassidim still in bp
Why says I don’t know Yiddish? And I’m a representative of everyone in Boro Park. You are the representative of Norway who sits in at our meetings to make sure our decisions do not affect Norway. (By the way, why did Norway send you? No other country has a representative who comes to make sure we don’t affect them.)
Die kenst takeh redden Yiddish ? And you have to be a resident of bp to be representative
As the representative of Boro Park, I make the rules. And who says I’m not a resident?
