    He is known for a few of the movies that he was an actor of.

    The above skit was based on a movie, “The Cantor’s Son” where a shul is looking for a chazan. One of the members, Shepsil, says that he will lead the davening, and after his “perfomance” they find Moishe Oysher. He is also is known for “A Cantor on Trial”.

    “Born in Warsaw, Mr. Rosenberg was associated with Schwartz’s New York-based troupe for a quarter-century, appearing in such plays as “Yoshe Kalb” and “The Brothers Ashkenazi,” and subsequently became a monologist whose best-known character was “Getzei.”

    A member of the Yiddish Theatrical Alliance, Mr. Rosenberg starred in such Yiddish films as “Mirele Efros” and “The Cantor’s Son” and in the Israeli films “Uncle Sam in Israel” and “Highway Robbery.” He last appeared on Broadway in 1968 in “Borscht Capades.”” – JTA

    To CG,

    Go to traffic court.
    Since you have a clean record and this is an obscure ticket, then depending on the lication, you have a decent chance of either habing it converted to a lower ticket or warning.
    Redpond with the dtate and locality, snd i can give you some more advice.

    The Ramban in sefer Haguelah shaar aleph, and the rambam in Igeres Teiman (as well as Rashi, the Ibn Ezra and the Targum Yonason towards the end of Ocadiah are mashma as well) state that the sefardim are from Malchus Yehuda, and the Ashkenazim are from the aseret shevatim (note, based on the second time that we went up to build the Second Beis Hamikdash, approximately 11/42th of the olim of Yehudah were from the aseret shevatim.

    “The Chofetz Chaim said that America will be Klal Yisroel’s last stop in golus before the geula.”
    To Slonimer – I have looked all over, I have never seen that in writing. Can you tell me where that is written or quoted?
    See Bereishes Rabbah in the beginning of Vayishlach – vayachatz leshnei machanos – This refers to the Jews in Israel and in Galus, if one becomes destroyed, the second will survive.

    To MW13,

    Please look at the Ramban by Avraham in Vayera, “Ki Yidativ” who writes that (paraphrasing, look at original) the majority of the Jewish people are not under direct din and hashgacha pratis, unless you deserve it.

    Likewise the Tehuvas haRambam on whether someone can harm someone else without a din (if I remember correctly, last one in chalek aleph in the 1980 edition), who explains that in a makom sakanah even without a din a man can become killed.

    Likewise the Rambam in Pesachim (Peirush hamishnayos) on the braiysah of “3 things Chezakiah did” how important it is to go to doctors (There is a tana dimisaya, R’ Yehoshua in Bamidbar Rabbah).

    many others, but I am working write now.

    To Squeak,

    I am a firm believer that one should not post unless it is either informative or humorous, and you definitely made may morning with your earlier post.

    Good afternoon 12345,

    I moved to Passaic in order to commute to Manhattan. It’s obviously closer to Brooklyn than Monsey is, although the commute (especially during rush hour) can be a pain.

    sorry, no personal email addresses

    • Concerning the commute, to get to Manhattan there are three options, GW, Lincoln, Holland, as well as going through Staten Island. The three bridges range from 6-8 miles each, although during rush hour the GW is usually either 20 minutes or 1.5 hours (it either moves or doesn’t). The Lincoln and Holland are usually around 45 minutes (I know there’s no usually) each. However, late at night (after 10pm), I often can go from Brooklyn to Passaic in 45 minutes, as there is often no traffic. Each Bridge/Tunnel is around $13 (although it is cheaper if you have it registered as carpool, and there’s a place outside the gw where you can usually pick people up). When I need to go to Brooklyn from Passaic, I will often take the GWB, and then the FDR to the Brooklyn Bridge, although Staten Island may be faster at times.
    • Concerning shuls, as people have mentioned, there are quite a lot of Nusach Sefard Shuls, some are more heimish, such as R’ Berkowitz’s & R Weinberger’s, some are more official, such as the Agudah, and some are a drop more modern, such as Tiff. (again, send me an email to call me, and I can go in more details).
    • One plus of Passaic, is there is a bunch of classes and gym lessons (such as gymnastics for girls) for children, which are usually listed in the Jewish Local Times. I have passed by a Ladies only gym which is pretty close, but not in the Jewish neighborhood per say. There is also a Lucille Roberts (Women only Gym) right near by.
    • One thing to take note. Passaic is not as open spaced as Monsey. There’s street cleaning weekly (tickets are $75), and even to go to the Supermarket you need to either look for parking or pay meter. The schools which are close and which many people walk to, do not have real parking. And it is definitely squishy. (And as mentioned earlier, you will be either Jewish or Latin American).
    • Neighborhoods: There are kind of three or four housing neighborhoods. You have Passaic which has some old regal houses, where everyone keeps up their tree/bush gardens, although is squishy, and somewhat middle-aged. You have the Clifton North and West neighborhoods which has more of the younger, slightly more comfortable people, with bigger lots, and you have the south area which is a drop more suburbia, although they only have a single (large) modern-yeshivesh shul. There is also the east neighborhood (on the other side of main) which has many new Jewish families moving in, which is the more affordable. Note: when I say neighborhoods, I don’t mean in the Monsey way, more as in a close demographic way. It is basically all one neighborhood with different sections. Passaic, is quite close together and small, as walking from one end to the other would be under 40 minutes, and driving in under 5.

    I hope this helps,

    Bitul
