So I travelled half an hour to pick up my 8 year old son from his mother, and then another half hour to go to his rebbe’s house to deliver shalach manos. My son was dressed up in dirty jeans and a “wife-beater” undershirt.
First, the rebbe offered me a shot even though I was clearly driving. (He mumbled some excuse about drinking being an ??? and drunk driving being a ?? ????, even if it is dina dmalchusa. I declined since ???? ????? ??? ???…)
Then, his shalach manos to my son was some orange juice and 2 Ritalins.
My son was going crazy on the ride back because he didn’t get any candy, and also I didn’t let him eat the shalach manos because the orange juice didn’t have a heimish hechsher.
My questions are:
A. Should I complain to the rebbe that he didnt give candy?
B. Should I complain to the school about the hechsher?
C. Should I complain to my ex about the costume?
D. Should I just pass on the shalach manos to someone else?
Please answer quick. If social services comes, I need the house to seem orderly. Especially since I will be drinking, and my 12 year old daughter will be in charge.

But, my daughter is dressed up as queen esther.
When we went to her ????’s house, she said “Oh! you look so ugly, are you vashti?”
Now, I know my daughter is not quite a supermodel, but isn’t that a bit over the line?
March 20, 2011 4:37 pm at 4:37 pm #1218949always hereParticipantthis morning in shul, some women complimented me on my ‘so authentic-looking hippie’ costume!!… only thing is that I was dressed in my normal clothes!! (except for the multi-colored mylar wig w/ flowers in my ‘hair’). ;-D
March 20, 2011 4:51 pm at 4:51 pm #1218950Sender AvMemberPoppa, are you serious? I feel so bad for your daughter. I would switch her out of that class.
March 20, 2011 4:53 pm at 4:53 pm #1218951wanderingchanaParticipantIf you decide to re-gift the Ritalin, can I have it?
March 20, 2011 4:56 pm at 4:56 pm #1218952haifagirlParticipantBar Shattya:
I find that story quite troublesome for so many reasons. I really think you need to consult your Rav and ask him for advice. Were you serious about the Ritalins? I really hope not.

March 20, 2011 6:00 pm at 6:00 pm #1218954Sender AvMemberI figured as much…or Joseph. I want to know about Poppa’s post

March 20, 2011 6:27 pm at 6:27 pm #1218956metrodriverMemberBar Shattya, PBA & Always Here; Your stories are custom made for Purim. If they weren’t true, (Maybe, they’re not.) they would have to be made up. This proves the theory that truth is stranger than fiction. Bar Shattya, there are so many things wrong in the situation that you describe.; 1)Your ex-wife still has some strong feelings (of hate/rage) for you.;(psst. Is it true?); 2) Your son’s Rebbi has a unique (& childish) way of expressing his frustration with your son’s restlessness in class. (He should possibly be reported to the authorities.); 3) Your decision not to let him drink the Juice was right. But not for the reason you stated. It might have been spiked.; PBA. Your daughter has a Morah who shouldn’t be teaching class, altogether. (unless she was “Under the influence” when she made that statement.) She was brutally frank. To hurt someone’s feelings, especially a child, is unforgivable.; Always Here. It says a lot (the “Compliment”.) about the way you dress. A Freilichen Purim.

March 21, 2011 12:20 am at 12:20 am #1218958yogiboobooMemberone word: WOW!!!! this is a tuffie! but i really think you should talk to the rav and ur ex for that matter
March 21, 2011 1:41 am at 1:41 am #1218959oomisParticipantYEah, and my 4 year old grandson told me, “Bubby, you are SO BIIIIIG!!!!!”
March 21, 2011 2:57 am at 2:57 am #1218960The BuzzMemberDid he really give ritalin? Isn’t that illegal? I would investigate and make sure he’s not giving it to your kid in school!!
March 21, 2011 5:57 am at 5:57 am #1218961☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWhat hechsher is on Ritalin?
March 21, 2011 8:42 pm at 8:42 pm #1218962Sender AvMemberWhen I cant stop fiddlin’ I just take me ritalin, I’m poppin and taking pills (pop pop). (sung to the tune of Popeye the sailor man).
March 21, 2011 10:42 pm at 10:42 pm #1218963yitayningwutParticipantI went to visit a rebbe on purim and he demanded that I give him my keys. He said, “If you drank, you better give me your keys. If you didn’t drink, then you don’t have a chezkas kashrus and I certainly need to take away your keys!”
March 22, 2011 1:38 am at 1:38 am #1218964metrodriverMemberYitayningwut; I suspect that the Rebbe had one drink too many, and should not be on the road. Whether he’s a “Learning” Rebbi or Chassidic Rebbi, he was already “Be’Gilufin” (Be’gleef’n), even though he still appears to know the difference… between Scotch and Bourbon.
March 22, 2011 2:14 am at 2:14 am #1218965yitayningwutParticipantLol, yup he was definitely drunk.
February 26, 2017 9:09 pm at 9:09 pm #1218966mik5ParticipantThe OJ wasn’t kosher enough for you? Seriously? How can orange juice be non-kosher? There were bugs in it?
February 26, 2017 9:38 pm at 9:38 pm #1218967iacisrmmaParticipantAnother example of someone commenting on a 5 YEAR OLD THREAD ad if it is presently being discussed.
If you would have read the OP carefully it said “without a heimisheh hechsher”. Why are you questioning someone else’s chumra?
February 26, 2017 10:19 pm at 10:19 pm #1218968JosephParticipantmik, you hold it’s okay to drink OJ that has no hechsher?
February 26, 2017 10:41 pm at 10:41 pm #1218969WolfishMusingsParticipantmik, you hold it’s okay to drink OJ that has no hechsher?
I would, if I squeezed it myself.

February 26, 2017 10:47 pm at 10:47 pm #1218970JosephParticipantI meant commercial OJ.
