I don’t think this thread will be boring.
In fact, it’s a thread I’m adoring.
Sometimes it’s quite funny
At other times, pun-ny.
while reading it, I’m never snoring…
Food, not wine, is my weak spot
Has me tied in a knot
I want good health
But then in stealth
I eat the extras in the pot
My goodness, you must give us credit
We’re all busy now – there, I’ve said it!
You’ll just have to wait
For tomorrow’s date
By noon, I am sure you’ll have read it.
This is a true story.
A manic girl I met today
To minyan she came to pray
Her ceaseless talking
Kept the rest of us walking
Rachmonas flew away.
She’d been out walking half the night
The places she’d been gave us fright
Said that she had just been
An inpatient on the mental scene
Its very sad – she’s very bright.
We tried to befriend her – it wasn’t easy
Her rambling tales made us queasy
She could daven and could sing
Her voice had an angelic ring
Yet her presence made us all uneasy.
A bee came near me yesterday
I prayed that it would fly away
I stood very still
It took all of my will
I will not go out to play today.
It appears that those who are minglers
In this CR thread by we jinglers
Have lost interest it seems
Left us to our dreams
Just tapping keyboards with our fingers.
Shabbat Shalom again my pals
This message is strictly Minyan Gal’s
The soup its a-simmering
The candles are glimmering
All’s well in my home – there’s no “mals”.
I love the quiet of the night
Everything seems so right
I can get work done
With no interruption
And through the day sleep tight
well done blinky !
Great work Blinky.
Was it time for you to go?
My fingers and keyboard say no
I quickly searched around
And under entertainment found
My dear limerick, lonely so
Thank you, thank you vnishmart
You are terribly smart
The thread you located
My mind was elated
A good feeling is in my heart.
More about Chanukah
Donuts and latkes we’ll eat
It really will be quite a treat
All things that are greasy
They slide down real easy
Not gaining weight will be a feat.
Candles we will light daily
Children will sing very gayly
Dreydls we’ll spin
Nes, gimmel, hey, shin
It will all be very freilich.
Well, if leniency we get
I’ll chime in yet
Not worrying about rhythm or rhyme
Just getting it out in time
This limerick is the quickest I’ve ever done 🙂
Limerick friends are fun indeed
We’re there for each other in time of need
Meeting in this room again and again
A virtual reality it’s better then
To continue planting the friendship seed
Quick fix:
Limerick friends are fun indeed
We’re there for each other in time of need
Meeting again
Every now and then
To continue planting the friendship seed
Blinky – I feel like an idiot. I think I had brain freeze – that was twice yesterday. Or else I was thinking about the earlier line about the candles – using nes instead of nun. I couldn’t think of anything else to rhyme with daily and gayly. I did consider using “freily(ch).
Today’s the day we do recall
Our brave heroes who for us did fall
Through bullets’ strafe
They kept us safe
Please honor them with Yiskadol.
My Baba’s yahrzeit starts tonight
I loved that woman – she had might
Her children are gone
And life moves on
I’ll go to shul her name to recite.

Oh, Oomis my dear
I really do fear
That I missed your birth date
So this message is late
Have a happy and healthy year.
This thread was getting lost again
It took me awhile to find its name
I brought it back
I’m just a hack
So for this rhyme I take no blame.
Its very cold outside today
So indoors I did stay
Homemade soup in the pot
It was served piping hot
And chased my chilly blues away.
Greetings from my snow-covered home
Looking outside you’d think this was Nome
Though the winds they do bluster
This message I can muster
Warmest wishes from me for a Shabbat Shalom.
The winds they did howl all through the night
The noise woke me up – gave me quite a fright
Early morning and I’m wide awake
At my ‘puter this ditty to make
Thinking of friends whom I don’t know by sight.
Lol minyan- I love the last post with the snow.
And just a quick correction- you wrote:
Please honor them with Yiskadol.
Kaddish starts with YisGadol. Not Yiskadol.
It’s very important to say every word correctly.
thank you smartcookie
that is a very common and important mistake
also in Shmenoh Esrei be very careful to say ba-al gevuros NOT bal gevuros
ba-al means master of
bal means without, highly apikortic
My personal pet peeve: People who say the name Rivka with an “f.” I’ve heard ba’alei kriah do this. :: shudder ::
The Wolf
There are hundreds of such common mistakes all throughout davening which people don’t realize.
Especially Krias Shema/Kaddish, and the real very Heilige Tefillos. Each word should be pronounced clearly and individually.
yes but some are more common, some are more crucial
the two pointed out here are both
I think Rifka with the f is an anglicized rendition.
Wolf..
Yes I hear what you are saying.. As a kid I spelled it with a ‘pay’ til my teacher made me never to forget. Always remember that the English version is “rebecca’ so it mast have a v!
Tefillah is so very holy,
So make sure to say each word slowly,
Say every letter right,
Even when time’s tight,
And please help me out with this last line here…..
I think Rifka with the f is an anglicized rendition.
No, Rifka is the “lazy” version since both the /f/ and /v/ sounds are fricatives. The /f/ however is unvoiced whereas the /v/ is voiced. People sometimes take the “shortcut” and don’t voice the consonant.
