    It’s ok. No news … Yet. I did go to boston a couple more times. I saw my oldest brother for the second time in seven years (the first time was at another brother’s chasuna), and a close friend of mine from israel who I haven’t seen since forever (it has been so long I don’t remember how long it was).

    My neighbor’s five year old son wanted his parents to play stratego with him. They told him we don’t know how to play.

    His response: ok I will just ask yossi (a different neighbor of mine) to play. He is a smart man. Even smarter than mommy, daddy, and Hashem!

    yes and it is an opinion in a mishna on top of it. it is also a machlokes in the same mishna whether or not there even is such a thing as a not pretty jewish girl. i don’t remember the exact location of the mishna though. i think it is in nedarim as the machlokes is based off of someone who makes a neder to marry a girl on condition that she is pretty (or something along those lines) and her looks turn out not to be his taste.

    Yes we have it hard too. There are times where I wonder whether I made the right choice. There are times where I honestly want to cry because of all the difficulty I have with well I guess the best word to use would be consequences. But thankfully there are people in this world who accept me for who I am not for what I do. There are times where it seriously bothers me what people think about the working world. I mean come on someone has got to work where else is the money gonna come from?

    Sorry I can’t write further as I tried three times and all that was coming out was bad feelings and I don’t want to badmouth or anything like that. Yes there is a lot of bitterness at what the world has come to.

    You know I just might 🙂 (back atcha)

    Baruch Hashem today I’m better

    Let me tell you with each letter

    Though not all the way

    It’s better each day

    And no I’m not a fretter

    Last night my fever broke oh my

    How my poor forehead seemed to cry

    My pillow was wet

    How my head did sweat

    But my nose will not run dry

    I went to work yesterday

    How my friends did say oy vey!

    After a good sleep

    Without a peep

    I went again today

    I am having so much fun

    With this whole limerick run

    I wish I could stay

    But I can’t today

    I am moving july one

    But when it comes to be the fourth

    I want this again to be my fort

    A place to play

    Here by day

    Hope I have something of worth

    I must go before I get stuck

    In all this limerick muck

    ‘Cause if I do

    I’ll go boohoo

    As there will go twenty bucks

    Yentingyenta: it works both ways too. I am a working boy (still trying to work out how I am gonna get my degree, I want to go for business management) and people tell me well if you are not in yeshivah you will have ahard time with shidduchim. Why? What is wrong with a bochur working? Something is wrong if he isn’t in yeshivah past say first year beis medrash?

    As of right now there is what is brewing baruch Hashem. Let us hope that maybe this one WILL go through

    Hey I appreciate the attention. Number one, I turn twenty tes cheshvan so gefen you were close. Two as was noted, for now I am busy (yes a cr shidduch on top of it but that is all I can say). Number three, it is extremely difficult to pull such a thing off especially as the mods aren’t keen on co-operating (understandably) number four (for gefen) what made you think of this? Number five (yes the numbers go kinda high here as I am trying to make things as clear as possible) I have already made it known how to find me if need be but as was said I am officially busy so no and I will not say if this and that because that is setting myself up for disaster (the if I was talking about was if cv this one doesn’t work out then. If I follow such a mindset I will be thinking I can always fall back and thereby things will not get done correctly) so if you want to hold onto that thought then go ahead discuss it amongst yourselves but I don’t want a part in it. If I came out to be harsh it wasn’t intended that way

    What nicer way to get better

    Stay outside enjoy the weather

    My nose is stuffed

    My throat all roughed

    And here I am can I do better

    Sure these rhymes don’t all make sense

    But why settle for just pence

    You could make dollars

    Sewing collars

    Or you could go paint a fence

    What is all this eschewing?

    It is all I can be doing

    Bring smiles to a face

    Make a happy place

    Looks to be trouble brewing

    I am sorry that my rhymes

    Do not fit right all the times

    I did break some rules

    Just to lift the blues

    Hopefully now time’s fine

    I must now go inside

    Charge my phone ‘fore it dies

    I enjoyed this do

    Tell me you did too

    Over these please don’t cries

    (Sorry I was desperate)

    Depends which dynasty. The rebbe reb pinchos dovid had two sons the rebbe reb levi yitzchok and the rebbe reb moshe. The rebbe reb levi yitzchok took over boston while the rebbe reb moshe took over new york. The rebbe reb moshe passed away and left over two sons and to my understanding one became rebbe and one became dayan/rosh yeshivah. I don’t know the new york dynasty too well as I primarily know the grandsons of reb moshe (one is a rov in boro park and one is a rov in lawrence otherwise I don’t know much else). The rebbe reb levi yitchok passed away leaving three sons and a tzavoh that all three should accept the title of admor and in effect create a triumvirate. So in sum total there are four or five bostoner rebbes (as I do believe (but I am not 100% sure) one son of reb moshe became rebbe in beit shemesh while the other stayed in flatbush)

    I personally went with the line of the rebbe reb levi yitzchok (it helps that he was the rebbe I went to when I became a bostoner it also helps that I grew up in boston). I do very much hold of the new york dynasty as they do of us. It is a positive mutual working relationship

    No. Why does everyone want to leave? Why can’t we instead try to work together and make this a more comfortable happy place to be again? What happened between two years ago and now that all of a sudden this place is literally dead to the point where all people can talk about is how this one is upset with that and the other one is upset with some poster etc etc etc? What has gotten into this place/people? I remember when even joseph not only wasn’t an obsessed over topic but was actually conversationable (able to have conversation with). It has really become ridiculous to the point where the only reason I am staying on is something which I hope will work and go through but once it does (yes I am being optimistic), if this place hasn’t changed, I will have no more reason to stay on myself. Same goes if C”V it doesn’t go through.

    There is one shammash at a time. When the rebbe started being half a year in eretz yisroel and half a year in america, a second shammash was set up for eretz yisroel. When the rebbe got sick the shammash would travel with the rebbe. I was shammash in between my older brother and the next one. My duties were to bring the rebbe to shul and back. Being that I was a shammash after he re-married, I did not have to take care of him in his house as his wife was capable in doing so herself.

    I don’t see why there is an issue for you to say sit on your porch and enjoy the display (assuming of course that you can see the fireworks from your porch).

    Even though we will do our best to answer questions and such, just please remember that the cr is not a replacement for competent halachic authority.

    This is an entire section in zohar and kabalah in general. This concept of what we are calling here ghosts are real and do happen and exist. No joke. Whether or not we understand exactly what is being talked about could be under question. In other words do we fully comprehend who what where when why and how such things happen? Possibly not but they definitely happen and exist. Now we may also not fully comprehend the situation when it happens to be able to know whether or not what is happening is real as the mind is a very complex tool.

    Yummy: this nephew is five days older than me. when I was born only my oldest sister was married. I don’t remember my ages when the rest of my married siblings got married (I still have one brother and one sister still single).

    Observanteen: you are very welcome 🙂

    We should only know everything as revealed good (even if something appears to us as bad there is obviously a reason for it but we may just not know it. So let me add on/rephrase to say may we always be able to see good in every situation).

    How he came to be rebbe in boston: originally the rebbe reb pinchos dovid was a “simple” (I put it in quotes as he was the nephew of reb dovid milelov (who was known far and wide for his ‘sight’) and was a direct descendant of the brody rov (who ran away to eretz yisroel when he was found out to be a baal mofes) yungerman (mid to late twentys) in yerushalayim. His uncle reb dovid tells him the he should go to america as they need him there. The rebbe being that he wasn’t keen on leaving eretz yisroel said no. Reb dovid said “fine we will see” and that was the end of that. A little while later the rebbe is requested to serve as av beis din on a beis din in europe. The rebbe thinks about the case for a little and seeing as it looked to be a short one two case, agreed. Of course it did not turn out to be a one two case and things started to drag and drag. Meanwhile, world war one breaks out and being that the rebbe is a resident of eretz yisroel which then was under the turkish empire, he has to get out of europe and fast. Due to the swiftness at which borders were getting closed and the difficulty involved in obtaining papers, they decided (and succeeded) in just getting the rebbe onto a boat which was leaving europe and then they would worry about getting him back to eretz yisroel. Well they get him onto a boat and where do you think the boat is headed? Of all places, america and so the rebbe is brought to america and lands in boston. That is how he got there.

    I will have to refresh my memory of the rest (how he came to be rebbe etc). Besides I think this post is a wee bit long.

    Oh by the way I only brought up that I was a shammash to explain how I know the story. It so happens that the zuber (my family) and the horowitz (the rebbe’s family) mishpachos were very close and go as far back to when my father, the current rebbe (or to be pc my current rebbe), and my uncle were playmates as kids.
