    And I’m stuck trying to find a place suitable for our whole family… When will I get rescued…

    I don’t think HaShem needs to have faith in anyone. And Judaism is a bit more than that religion that calls for “all you need is faith in… all else is but minor technicalities”. No, Yidden have a Torah to follow. Emunah is an important thing… many other things follow. Having a clear trodden path in YiddishKite is important. Very important.

    And again, there is no need to go around (and around) with that “wake up tragedy calls..” thing again (and again). As the Gemarah says somewhere ???? – ???? ????? ?? ????

    A mentor or better yet a Rebbe, Manhig is there not only for the times a follower thinks he / she is in need of assistance. A Manhig is as its definition – one who leads, guides. A fool may delude himself into thinking he is in no need of guidance, he knows it all etc., while inside he is rotting away. A Manhig will get someway to point it out, to get him to reverse course. This is especially true of those who follow a true chasidish lifestyle. Each in their respective courts, each has a Manhig, who one is connected, heart and soul, down here where life takes place, and in the afterwards… read chassishe seforim…

    See what (Zohar?) says about ???? ?? ????? ?? ??? ????? ?, you might be in for a shock!!

    .. he then brings a mashal (parable) of a Rabbi who needed tapes of his speeches..

    Don’t know which area you’re from, I highly doubt the Chovas Halevavos had access to tapes his days.

    Someone here’s terribly mixed up. Refusing the blessings of a Rebbi, Rosh Yeshiva, Gadol etc. has nothing to do with the need of one to have a living guidance… Don’t think one should offer the “key to success in Judaism” before one truly knows what Judaism is all about. And some things are not DIY try-me-out kits. Some things in YiddishKite, most importantly Hashkafa, have to be taught from a mentor.

    When I need help, I go to the Godol (unspecified) who knows me best, through and through. He directs me as how to daven, learn, live like a Jew. That is what YiddishKite is all about. We don’t make our own roads, paths. We follow our Gedolim whoever they are. ?? ?? ????? ??? ?????, especially someone who confesses to be “chassidish”, this was one of the foremost characteristics, to follow a Manhig.

    We ALL Daven and “GO” to HaShem. For help, for gratitude, for closeness. It’s the Tzadikim who guide us. Without that step one is sure bound to get disillusioned, confised etc. Read what Seforim say about this..

    I once wrote a long one on this. Maybe a bit too busy these days…

    The gist of it was something to the effect of that HaShem, who has provided for us in the past, with or without an advanced secular college education, can do so quite easily in the future. For as long as there are humans treading this here earth.

    I Kashered my car today. Took about 5 and a half hours. If you saw what it looked like, you’d understand. (problem was I lent it out and got it back with ????? – ??? ????, all around the place)

    ZD: nor does anyone else. But when one learns in a sefer and then comes across individuals “met” in the entertainment media, one subconsciously connects, and that is very damaging.

    As it is, the media today, even “kosher” stuff, dulls the brain so much, educators have a real hard time combating those effects and after effects, when trying to teach from a black and white stationary book or sefer. Trying to teach concepts, ideas. Kids who have and use these media outlets have a much harder time sitting in and learning.

    I made the mistake on year and bought my kids a presentation that just came out, thinking there could be nothing wrong. OK, a lot of parts were cute (“Help!! He’s killing the gods!!”..) But to envision our founding fathers as depicted in the goyishe entertainment industry’s image – nope, not a good idea at all. I pulled it.

    No, Avraham Avinu and Sara Emeinu certainly did not leave Charan as hero and heroine smiling, holding hands!! And I’d rather my children don’t get that picture!

    Golfer: Please don’t you or anyone else (besides Frogette) feel bad for me. OK. I’m not really breaking out in a sweat… there’s something called “dramatic effect”.. And yes, I do get a bit nervous, especially when I read how far others are holding, but I’m not exactly freaked out…

    And yes, I do make an especial effort to clean and work with a simcha’dig atmosphere. To have in mind why we’re doing it, for whom we’re working. I do try keep my family ( Frogette included) upbeat, with that elated, expectant, excited mood. It’s just my inner sense of reality that gets to me from time to time. Funny thing, every year we forget that somehow we made it the previous year!!

    Thanks (and no thanks) Queen! B”H Chasuna is in the summer, not imminent, still a lot extra to tend to this year. Baruch HaShem!! Chasuna is ??”? in Eretz Yisroel, so preparations are of a different (and uncharted) nature.

    And the cleaning… 1 / 8!! Yes, this makes me a bit more than anxious… I break out in a cold sweat in middle of the night… then I turn over and resume…

    There’s a concept known as baby-proofing.

    Hatzlacha (and belated mazel tov)

    NOTE to all with little, curious cuties; be especially careful now, at this time during the Pesach cleaning season, with all cleaning agents and detergents. Some are REALLY DANGEROUS!!!

    Flatbusher: As I wrote before, I didn’t rebuke, chide or tell anyone off. I’m not the type of person that speaks out in public, I use the CR to do what I wouldn’t do in public for anything!!! I wrote about that before. So naturally I had no desire to do so. I only with I found the guts to get up and say something intuitively, kindly, softly, full of concern. Or that someone else would have noticed and told him something.

    How I noticed? I wrote about that, if you’d noticed. “I’m only human – so I scanned the horizon from time to time…”
