Fun thread, bpt!

let me try some:

I am sorry!

You are ____! (insert words such as great, terrific, courageous etc)

please, help yourself!

Watch your step

savour the moment

seize the opportunity

The Parsha speaks of the idea of getting a divorce, that it must be done with an official document (a Get)etc. Although this is in fact a MITZVAH it is nevertheless a mitzva which is reserved only in critical and unresoved cases, and is done out of necessity. When I learned Masechta Gittin, so right before I started to learn the mishna of “Hameivi Get Mimedinas Hayom”, my rebbi prefaced and noted a beautiful insight: “Hameivi Get”-when you will begin the mesechta of Gittin, and be introduced to the concept of bringing a Get, “Mimedinas Hayom”-you have to understand that it’s memidinas hayom, this is a foreign idea and a foreign concept, unlike all other mitvahs!!

I remember when I first got married I moved to Eretz Yisroel with my new Kalla, and happily set up our house. Finally, when the new zman began I went proudly to Kollel and learned until lunchtime, when I returned home to eat lunch with my wife. In the middle of the meal she asked me “so, what are you learning?”

“Mesechtas Gittin”, I answered.

She nearly choked…lol.. you should have seen her face of horror, LOL

“Can you maybe learn a different gemorrah” she asked politely

my initial reaction to this post was “Oooh nooo, another poster having a freak attack, and screaming for all jews to do teshuva and to change. Very nice, now let me crawl back into my comfortable chair here and surf the net for something more interesting and entertaining”

….Wait a minute….Move over Yeitzer Hara!!

WIY- You are on the ball, and are SOOO completely correct!!! Although it is not Elul yet and the theme of teshuva is not even close to the front of my mind, there are very bold and clear messages from Above that the status quo is very not well. Last thing we need to hear is R”L of tragedies in the catskills or anywhere, from car accidents, to missing kids, to whatever. All us men must learn more torah now in the summer. We lost 3 Torah Giants. YIDDEN,We need protection. And nothing protects and sends yeshuos as the power of TORAH! There is not enough torah learning in the summer. I will B”N will try to increase my learning. May we hear only good news and yeshuos.

Thank you WIY for the vrtual wake up call.

once saw a cartoon of a beautiful sunny resort island that was inhabited by socks who were sunbathing on a beach. The line was “Where all your single socks disappear to” 🙂

In all seriusnes i think peopl r just plain doing these out of lazines, its not lik its so difcult to writ a word with all the letersssss….zzzzzzzz

is that a question or statement

totally out of my humility!! My yetzer hara tells me it’s incorrect spelling but i won’t give in…

LOL

mbacher- you’re absolutly right, but you can’t be too serious. Enlighten us with a Purim torah, I know u got one up your sleeve…lol

“Even if something goes wrong, don’t give up.”

This is soooo true. I messed up by shifting into Drive instead of Reverse in the very first minute of my test. The rest of my drive was flawless but I thought I for sure failed bec of that first error. Nevertheless I passed.

Also, wear comfortable shoes, neat clean clothes, and be polite.

Hey, can we revive this thread? Purim is coming and we all need to stock up on Purim Torah!! Anyone have a geshmakeh vertel??

I heard this one from my rebbi years ago:

Question: Why is Purim called “Purim” in plural, if there was only ONE lottery it should be called “Pur”??!

Answer: On Purim there is a mitzvah to give Matonos Loevyonim to TWO Pur people 😉

Let’s go guys, get out your Best (and corniest?) Purim Torah and please share them with us.

“I guess you would also have to get “a little” drunk”

where does one get a drunk midget?

In a Mini Bar.

LOL

Will be happy to learn Pe’ah L’Iluyei Nishmasom.

We need Achdus in Klal Yisroel….what a beautiful way to unite us all, to learn Mishnayos for nishamos of Yidden who went through that Gehinnom, H”YD. May this achdus continue and IY”H usher in the Moshiach speedily.
