This is a Poll.
What do you do if you receive a birthday card or anniversary card in the mail?
1)read it (& show it to my family) and then throw it out
2)put it on my refrigerator
3)add it to my pile of other cards I received earlier years
4)I don’t receive any cards. I get it call as text messages and on social media etc….
5)other (if other then what do you do with it?)1)read it (& show it to my family) and then throw it out Just as I would expect others to do with the ones that I send.
I occasionally get cards. Depending on who it’s from, I may throw it out or put in my “keepers” box. Mostly I get greetings on Facebook, and then I just reply, “Thanks!” I don’t Twitter, Instagram, or whatever else is out there now. Us old fogy types pretty much stick with FB, and then mostly only friend people we’ve known in person and want to keep up with.
Read it, hang on fridge for 2-3 days, share with family members, tell sender thank you & throw out..
Ehriche Yidden don’t celebrate birthdays.
Joseph
See the newest Nitei Gavriel on birthdays
I know Know R’ Gavriel Tzinner isnt ehrlich
5) Specifically, read it and only then add it it to the pile (I usually get 1 card a year).
Option 4.
Joseph, who is talking about celebrating? Sending someone best wishes isnt a celebration!
BTW, whose is there a sefer of halachos for erliche yidden that you are quoting?I recycle them by using white out. Works every time and no one questions me about it. After all ,what is white out for if not for whiting out?
Joseph ehriche yidden dont sit on the internet all day and comment.
ehrliche yidden celebrate birthdays by learning exrtra toireh. extra tsdaka. extra tehilim. cheshbon hanefesh to see where to emprove and take on kabolos
in todays world with so many chalanges and נסיונות in our face, we should take advantage of every oportunity to add in yiddishkeit and make yidishkeit more exciting. for example: celebrating birthdays in a toiredige way, using the day to increase in learning toirreh and strengthen our commitment to keeping mitsvos and taking on good resolutions.
jakob
