How do you go for the (last) great grand bash?
You need an averia bucket list?!
This premise is so against everything which Torah-true Yiddishkeit stands for. What would Rav Avigdor Miller, zt”l say?
You could start a ridiculous topic in the CR.
Oh. You’ve already done that.
Actually, until now I’d never made the connection between Elul and Lent. So you’re trying to do the equivalent of Mardi Gras?
The poor guy just wants ideas of something to do in his last week of vacation before the new zman in yeshiva and everyone is giving him a hard time.
Agreed, but it was poorly worded. That’s why everyone misunderstood.
How about doing a duet in middle of the night out somewhere on a boat?
I had a post planned but yehudayona beat me to it.
Oh! I got it! The premise of this thread is Chukas Akkum!
Wrong mindframe greeny!
😉
I don’t know what he would say. I’d rather not ask him now.
Actually that does sound like fun, get a couple of guys, some scotch, and dig some people up.
So how about just bringing them up?
(Would it be any less scary, the other way around?!)
Shrek!

Chas veSholom! Nothing could be further removed from the truth.
Ellul:- Serious-Absolutely! Sad-Absolutely not! We are reading the very last Parshiyos of the Toroh:- Sefer Devorim eagerly heading me’Eivel leSimcho from Devorim on Chazzon to veZos haberocho on Simchas Toroh.
It is so wonderful anticipating a month long of Chaggim & intense closeness to haShem. As children the excitement of the approaching Chaggim was incredible; All this with no worries about cleaning out Chometz. & the days are getting shorter, so Motzei Shabbos will once again be at decent hours.
When my kids were very little I made a special point of bringing them to Shul in Ellul to hear Tekias Shofor daily. Needless to say, I blow Tekias Shofor for my wife everyday before I head out to work.
I think this must be a period to make amends with G-d, ourselves, and others. Kol shofar and the sound of selichot calls us to do exactly that: to recognize we’re sinners, often wretched, in a world that is characterized by brokenness, sadness, and yearning. May our teshuva and our sincere desires to reconnect with the RBSO result in a better world as we approach the new year.
Needless to say, I blow Tekias Shofor for my wife everyday before I head out to work.You’re not supposed to blow shofar b’yechidus in Elul. But I appreciate the effort.
147, what does all that have to do with Yom Yerushalayim?
oops… too late
smoked a couple of cigs right before i quit.
“Letting looxe” beore the “mad” rush just cost us a life in Yerushalayim.
I think getting in a fight about this wud be counterproductive so im just gonna say i think youre jumping the gun
