    A guy attending a wedding asks the person sitting next to him, Hey, have you noticed how horrible-looking the bride is? Man, she’s ugly!

    You meshugana. That’s my daughter you’re talking about! the person responds.

    Oops! I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t know you we’re the father.

    I’m not, you stupid idiot. I’m the mother!

    WOW!!!!!!

    oh, why can’t this be mainstream and not the exception? this breslover man is a holy beautiful yid in every sense, and made not only a HUGE kiddush hashem, but took the bull by the horns by seizing the opportunity of the situation and introduced to these lost souls an incredible display of a true Holiness and Kedusha. I wish/hope every yid, including myself, would do exactly that.

    A Jewish man buys a fabulous home in Beverly Hills, California. He brings in a local workman to decorate the place. When the job is finished, the homeowner is delighted but realizes that he’s forgotten to put mezuzahs on the doors.

    He goes out and buys 50 mezuzahs (mezuzot!) and asks the decorator to place them on the right hand side of each door except bathrooms.

    He’s really worried that the decorator will chip the paint work or won’t put them up correctly. However, when he comes back a

    few hours later, he sees that the job has been carried out to his entire satisfaction. He’s so pleased that he gives the decorator a bonus.

    As the decorator is walking out of the door he says, “Glad you’re happy with the job.” “By the way, I took out all the warranties from the little boxes and left them on your table.

    there is no question, as i mentioned when i started the thread, that one should ask a rav (LOR) when confronted with a shaila. My question was actually twofold:

    1)when you have a situation where you have 3 poskim to choose from- can I choose the rav that will give me the psak I want to get i.e. maykal ?

    2)if I cannot get a rav now (Im on vacation, or it’s midnight, or the rav doesn’t answer his phone etc) can i rely on a heter in a situation where i know it is a machlokes?

    hey guys,

    what day is it?

    lol, sorry for not popping in as often as i would like, but my wine tasting job took its toll on me lately and caught a bad ‘illness’ that required alot of rest, symptons such as dizziness, light-headedness, dancing on the kitchen table with my annoyed father-in-law, and other weird ones not fit to print. (I never knew till recently that my job might have odd side effects…oh, well, live and learn, i guess, lol)

    but all seriousness aside, i feel myself simply imploding by resisting my rehab from my addiction, and decided, for just ONE day to indulge back in the CR with all my other fellow addictees, hehe!! so hello there:

    goq, shticky guy, tzaddiq, real-brisker, zeeskite, BTguy, always here, smartcookie, HaLeivi oomis, and bpt.

    l’chaim yidden, l’chaim!!

    chofetzchaim: i am in touch with amyisroelchai by e-mail, but i am hesitant to bring up the topic of returning. He is doing b”h fine and if he wants he will return, but i know that he was feeling terribly hurt and understandably so the experience here left him with hardly any motivation to return to this site, unfortunatly for us.

    it says Aharon married BatSheva the brother of Nachshon(ben Aminodov. So the question is, why mention her brother? Answer is because one should check out what kind of person his Kallah’s brother is before he marries her.

    On the flip side, if they were Nazis, if they just hated us and wanted to be rid of us: Why try to stop us from leaving? Why enslave us at all; why not just kill us?

    Other nations can receive blessing also; it will be through Abraham and his nation. Israel is the central source of blessing in the world.

    What could Egypt do about it? The right thing or the wrong thing. At first, Egypt tried to draw close to Israel, to do as much kindness for them as possible. Eventually, however, they decided to try to take what they wanted without earning it; to get the blessing by controlling its source.

    An overweight blonde went to see her doctor for some advice. The doctor advised that she run ten miles a day for thirty days. This, he promised, would help her lose as many as twenty pounds.

    The blonde followed the doctor’s advice, and, after thirty days, she was pleased to find that she had indeed lost the whole twenty pounds. She phoned the doctor and thanked him for the wonderful advice which produced such effective results.

    At the end of the conversation, however, she asked one last question:

    “Since I am now 300 miles away, how do I get home?”

    A young blonde woman goes to an office for a job interview. The interviewer decides to start with the basics. “So, miss, can you tell us your age, please?”

    The blonde counts carefully on her fingers for about 3 seconds before replying “Ehh… 23”.

    The interviewer tries another straight forward one to break the ice. “And can you tell us your height, please?”

    The young lady stands up and produces a measuring tape from her handbag. She then traps one end under her foot and extends the tape to the top of her head. She checks the measurement and announces, “Five foot three!”

    This isn’t looking good so the interviewer goes for the real basics. “And ehh, just to confirm for our records, your name please?”

    The blonde bobs her head from side to side for about twenty seconds, mouthing something silently to herself, before replying “Barbara”.

    The interviewer is completely baffled at this stage, so he asks “Just out of curiosity, miss. We can understand your counting on your fingers to work out your age, and the measuring tape for your height is obvious, but what were you doing when we asked you your name?”

    “Ohh that!” replies the blonde, “I was just running through ‘Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you…'”

    I have heard of the powerful segula to be oleh for this Haftora on Rosh Hashana, being an incredibly auspicious time when Hashem hears the tefillos of childless couples. I have also heard of davening when lighting Shabbos candles. But I have never heard of the segula of reciting the Rosh Hashana Haftora when lighting Shabbos candles. Interesting. Can you provide us with a source please. Thanks BTGuy for sharing.

    Two elderly couples had supper together. Afterwards the women went to the kitchen and the two men stayed in the dining room. One said to the other: “Yesterday, my wife and I went to that new restaurant in town. The food was very good. You should give it a try”

    “Oh yeh?” asked the other, “what’s the name of that restaurant?”

    “The name of the restaurant …, the name of the restaurant …, eh, let me think, the name …, aha, tell me, what is the name again of that flower with a red bulb, and thorns on its stem?”

    “You mean a rose?”

    “Yeh, that’s it. Hold on a minute” said the first man, and turning towards the kitchen he shouts out:

    “Hey Rose, what’s the name of that new restaurant where we ate yesterday?”

    VAYEEGASH

    And our father said, ‘Go back – buy for us a little food'” (Bereshis 44:25). Apart from the obvious meaning, there is a deeper one. When it says, ‘our father said go back’, we can understand that our Father in Heaven said to us, ‘Repent – come back to me’. ‘Buy us some’ (Shivru Lanu in Hebrew), can be broken down as follows:

    ‘Lanu’ (for us) in Gematria equals G-d’s Name of judgement, ‘Elo-kim’. ‘Shivru’ (buy) can also be read as ‘break’. We can thus read this as: ‘through repentance you can break all the decrees of harsh judgements’.

    Part of repentance is depriving oneself. When a person holds himself back from eating something he desires, it is considered like a Korban (offering). In the Tana Debei Eliyahu it says that bad occurrences come on account of eating and drinking. If so, a person should not be obsessed with eating and drinking, but should be satisfied with ‘a little food’ (Me’at Ochel).

    Oh, how I remember that day, I remember it so well

    A story unraveled, one we could not foretell

    We had just ended a war, victorious

    And headed up to the Beis Hamikdash, so Glorious

    When we witnessed the devastation of our Holy Temple

    It lay there defiled, in ruins, we all began to weep

    We tried to light the Menorah right then and there

    But we continued to search for hours, our conviction so deep.

    Beneath a clump of earth, next to where I had put my broom.

    A small jug of olive oil! It was unreal!

    The Kohen took it from my shaking hands, a tear in his eye

    He kissed my forehead, blessed me, and then began to cry

    A flask of pure olive oil, the only one!

    They decided to use the small jug anyways

    To rededicate the Temple in the best possible way

    And then, Lo and Behold

    A miracle began to unfold

    As the neiros incredibly lasted for a full 8 days!

    The lights shone forth under the Jerusalem sky

    Attesting to all, that Hashem is right by our side

    Although many generations passed

    The eternal message still lasts
