I used to be yeshivish…I used to

wear black and white, even my

bedsheets and shower curtains

were black and white. One pillow

case was black, the other was

white. My shoes… were button

downs. I used to have long tzitzis

down to my knees. I would tie

them to my chavrusa’s ankles and

I wouldn’t untie them until seder

was over. I used to wear Rabeinu

Tams… Only Rabeinu Tams. When

my shveir bought me a new car, I

drove it through a mobile home to

give it that “zecher lechurban”

effect. I also made sure one

headlight wasn’t working and that

the gas light would always be on.

My cat, Yekussiel, had payeos. I

had him turned into a Fedora..

with three bows. One of the bows

was going to be gray, but gray isn’t

black and white. I wouldn’t eat

fleishigs because it wasn’t cholov

Yisroel, but I still managed to get

cholent stains on my shirt before

Shabbos mincha. I never took off

my tzitzis. Don’t worry, I would

wash them in the shower while

wearing them, but only lekavod

Shabbos. I didn’t want to spend

any time bateling, so I

bookmarked my Gemara pages…

ALL my Gemara pages. I wear

glasses, but I don’t need them. I

sprained my thumb learning once,

but to avoid batalah I didn’t

mention it to my chavrusa until

after seder, when he asked me to

untie my tzitzis from his ankles. I

daven in Yiddish and speak in

Aramaic.
