the breslov israel crew is always there for u…i am not breslov at all….but emunah is for every jew :))
but if u dont want to read garden of emunah, listen to just one or two shuirim of rabbi brody, on the right hand side of his website, its 100000% worth it i promise!!!
its not me, its rabbi brody…
bh i have a super amazing bestest friend who recommended i read garden of emunah after i went thru a really hard break up with an ex bf….and its changed my entire life.
we have a conference call every night where we read garden of emunah and discuss it as well as other questions. i also started reading ‘in forest fields’ but i left it on a plane in zurich, bh breslov israel is sending me another copy :)))…it discusses developing a relationship with hashem and speaking to him throughout the day. i cant even describe to you what a good feeling it is. i listen to rabbi brodys shuirim and give out his emunah cds…because i discovered emunah through a friend, why wouldnt i wanna share it :)))
and if u want to discuss emunah further or if u have any questions or concerns u can always post here….I LOVE HASHEM and emunah and spreading it is what i do :)))
also i just wanted to say kol hakavod to u because asking the question is a huge first step so way to go!!!
@happiest…we all have skeletons in our closet, let me not reveal mine but believe me, we all got baggage. may be different sizes, different colors different weights but we all got it…nobody breezes thru life, dont ever be fooled. Emunah kicks in when logic checks out as rabbi brody always says…and as other posters mentioned, theres nothing hashem cant do…just ask. i know its easier said then done, ive bh worked on my relationship with hashem and although i have many miles to go, its def a good feeling to be close to hashem :))
Check out http://www.lazerbrody.typepad.com/ i strongly advise you to check it out and listen to some shuirim while ur doing work and stuff….
You can always email Rabbi Brody any questions or concerns you have about emunah, I emailed them once and they answered me like within 24 hours. its a long story but i asked if it was a lack of emunah to be nervous in a certain situation to which the answer was no, we are all human….on that note we are human and hashem knows that…obviously but at the same time we must believe everything comes from hashem, for our best and for a specific purpose.
we have a nightly conference call in which we learn garden of emunah and discuss it (we being a bunch of girls ranging from high school +) and bh its been going really well. if u would like the number i can ask the mods to post it.
have u ever read garden of emunah? by rabbi arush/brody
in desperate need of a super awesome vacation to europe, cancun, or even israel!!!
man, u guys are niave…it only gets worse as they get older.
i can say personally, i didnt feel a love for judiasm in my home, until i went to seminary in israel and experienced it by many people living there who really love torah and hashem.
its hard for kids these days cause parents send mixed messages…i feel really bad, but to be honest after seminary i tested the waters to see what was out there, bh i think ive straightened out since then but itll always be a part of my past.
@chayav what about perfume or cologne?? or u have no preference??
Its never too early to get an internship….my office is always looking for someone to get coffee and do bank/mail runs 🙂
i know, i was kidding, believe me i know money wont make a person happy…and u should know i have dated scrawny ugly guys, and i dont say no because of looks…only once i said no to a guy because he was oooooober nerdy. i know hashem already picked someone out for me, all i can do is daven rite?
ive actually dated a few, they dont need to be professional football players per say, just gotta have the look :)) problem is its hard to get the looks, money and the brains…
yup, but no worries im not so superficial, as u can see its not first on my list, but second…:))
I think most of the cr already knows what im looking for, four words, gorgeous rich football player
Lol sac and dunno…yeah but starbucks has way more flavors of coffees and teas and u havta know that a tall is really a small and a venti and grande….ugh to complicatedfor me I think ill stick to taxes…
i work for an accounting firm, i just graduated and plan on taking the cpa soon….on days like today when i stayed in the office way longer than i wouldve liked to….i wonderful why i wanted to be an accountant and not just work in Dunkin Donuts, where theres little to no brain cells in use, no deadlines no overwhelming pressure and no rude clients AND all the free donuts and coffee, what could be better…?!?!
what do u mean bachur24, i like talking to a guy on the phone cause u get a better feel of who he really is. he may sound perfect on paper as do most people but then in person its another story. also references as we know beat around the bush and are always biased since its their friend, rebbe, etc. i said no to a guy after talking on the phone with him…or should i say he was the one talking for 3 hours straight about himself, at the end of the conversation I was like, u know i have to think about it and get back to you…
also when you talk on the phone you can plan the first date together so this way if he says u wanna go to starbucks or a lounge u can say which u would prefer and then dress appropriately….
oh i def dont take it personally in fact i think its helped me build character. hes just one of those clients u can never please, ur always wrong and hes always rite!!!!
a client cursed at me yesterday because i told him i wouldnt have his information ready when he needed it….should I have hung up on him?? I was unsure about what to do so I just ignored him and remained calm while he went on one of his ramapage rants, what do you think I shouldve done??
ps this client has been inappropriate with me in the past and i have told my boss but she doesnt know how to deal with him, i made it very clear where the lines are drawn but now hes turned the other way and is mean rude and obnoxious.
this wasnt a bad date, i actually really liked this guy, but its funny so ill share:
We went to Rockerfeller Center and parked in the underground parking a few blocks away. I am totally cool with walking in 5 inch heels with a a 2 inch platform (im guessing here) but when it came time to go back down the ramp to the car, I was terrified of falling, so as a joke I said I wish I had something to hold onto, so he put out his arm and linked arms…people told me its okay cause mesiras nefesh :))). Needless to say he was a great guy just not for me….
exactly as dunno said…ive dated guys who jump out and open the door, pull out the chair for me, take my coat, i guess i just date classy guys what can i say?!?! i dont wait for it, its kinda a given…
if ur getting out to walk her to open her door, its kinda weird not to walk her at least to the steps or gate…dont u think?!?! (unless u just reach over and push the door open!??!?)
yup thats there chance to check you out…..once a guy called me to tell me he was outside, i walked out and he was standing a house a way with his arms crossed leaning against his car watching my every step, needless to say it was our first and last date…bh it was short too cause i was ready to ditch when he got up to use the bathroom :)) but of course i am too polite to do so…
but as far as walking to the door…i think in flatbush they think u dont want to be ‘seen’ but then why are u taking me out to sunflower or renaissance!?!
cant stereotype but i think i can say that most guys like straight hair.
i actually wear blue eyeliner to mix things up a little, black does get boring after a while.
@chayav inish…i dont wear black all the time, but when i do its usually for convenience…because all black can always work(work, shabbos, fun, etc) and it always matches :))
love this thread….i was wondering what people think of red lipstick, i usually just wear light colored gloss but i tried my sisters red lipstick and i thought it looked cool but is red lipstick classy or tacky?? is it for 84 year old grandmas who wish they were 22?
i say dont get involved…let him take her to bais din, he can look their number up on whitepages too!!
i scratch my head when i am nervous…
outside of north america there is a limited supply of snapple….
i usually get water, i would never ever get alcohol on a date….or i may spill all my good secrets :))) although i think i handle my liquor quite well 😉

i think i agree with veteran.
one of the gorgeous football players i dated (so cliche i know) even with his good looks and $$ there was just no bond, we were just two people going out and having fun…but there needs to be more than that. so i ended it, but partially because he was stoic but wtvs lol thats for a different cr topic perhaps:)))
i was on a plane from zurich to tel aviv…zero legroom and the woman in front of me leaned her seat ALLLLL the way back. I tapped her and said excuse me I am squished…to which she responded ‘well i havta sleep’
i read garden of emunah about a year and a half ago and after reading it….the little things in life dont bother me, because i know everything is from hashem, for our best, and for a specific purpose…so missing the train, getting a B or falling on your face….it all happens for a reason and when u have emunah the world is so much brighter and you dont look at others because you know what you have is what hashem set out for you!! its an amazing feeling bh!!
i wish they would teach emunah in school…..
no sillies…it means hes a chiller!!
awesome…tried to further my modeling career in paris but didnt get any go sees :(( so i hopped on a plane to tel aviv and now im waiting for my sister in ben gurion 😉
in london i asked the front desk for a wake up call….he handed me an alarm clock, true story :)!!!!
i do…but only dark wash (skirts of course), i think faded and bleached is so tacky
any excuse to party…
