Hey Lady, Cover your Nees!

Got this "gem" from my sister-in-law who lives in Lakewood:

Words escape me. Quoting one of the many lunatics agreeing with the mental case:

"I saw a woman that revealed her legs and for her punishment, they caught her by legs and threw her like she was a rag and they hung her upside down on steel pipes and blood drips down and she is yelling for help but there is no help for her."

Coming your way soon...da Taliban...Lakewood style.

Girls after my own heart

I'm one of those guys who values silence.

Just sitting there, listening to the quiet and not speaking.

Many people feel the need to talk, to fill the silence when with others. Not I.

I remember that during our first date, Da Wife and I were just strolling along the boardwalk, listening to the surf in companionable silence. That endeared her to me.

Today, waiting for my father-in-law to drive Da Gurlie and I to her playgroup, we sat there silent, listening to the quiet.

I ask her "Love Daddy?"

"Yes, Yes". Smiles. "No Talking" .

Girls after my own heart. G-d Bless them.

Yom Yerushalayim for me

Yom Yerushalayim Sameyach!


My strongest memory of Yom Yerushalayim is when I worked in Bonker's Bagels in the Old City.

We were open all night as masses of people, young and old, walked in. Our staff was doubled, no, tripled as people were clamoring for some American soul food.

The store made more money that night than some weeks.

I finally left the store at 5am feeling tired yet excited from the exuberance and joy of the multitudes.

Good times.

Hat-tip to ck from jewlicious via Twitter for reminding me with some twit-pics.

Chassidim: Once forward thinkers, now backward

Once, Chassidim led by the Ba'al Shem Tov and his followers were the forerunners of a revolution, a new thought process in Judaism. They were ostracized by many until their philosophy gained ground.

Now, ironically, Chassidim cling to the past, dressing as noblemen in the 18th century. Their communities shun outsiders, preferring to add members through large familes.

Why? How does the forward thinker become backward?
