I dont think the newly wed couple is deliberately avoiding family and friends. They are just SO engrossed in their newfound life, they just took off and are (hopefully) flying 30,000 feet above ground…..Like every airplane flight , they will land, without doubt in their friends and families tarmac!
I do know what I refrain from hanging up in the sukkoh those multi colored shiny long decorative stuff that if you look at the packaging carefully….you will see they are “christmas tree decorations” …………If you are going to buy them, make sure they are at least judaica .. from a jewish based company.
Hey there, I am new to YWN and find the coffee room forum very entertaining and enlightening. I will post a poem my friend composed and emailed me on erev yom kippur. Although it has a negative connotation I found it to be a bit disturbing yet the raw truth . I would love your input and comments on them….here goes!
In the hopes to appease God
We harbor belligerence
In an attempt to impress God
We abide to rules of ignorance
In the hopes to be loved by God
We reward contentious hate
In an attempt to conquer God
We continue to infiltrate
In the hopes to inspire God
We condone madness
In an attempt to prevail upon God
We perpetuate sadness
In the hopes to persuade God
We pardon immorality
In an attempt to understand God
We excuse brutality
In the hopes to anoint God
We have resigned to play this game
In an attempt to qualify for God
We crowned “the Lie” what a shame!
May all of Klal Yisroel do a reality check, cometh the new year!
A Gmar chasima Tova , and a gut gebentcht yur!
Whiteberry…. You refer to sleeping on a bed of nails, sticking razor blades in our socks or 105 degrees temperature in the shul “discomfort”??? They would rather imply extreme danger and or suicidal action. My point was to shirk comfort on the high holy day and concentrate on devoting the day devoid of the basic daily comforts.
I have a different issue with wearing crocs on yom kippur. To me crocs are the most comfortable , slip on easy footwear ever created. I suffered from bursitis on the heel a couple of years ago, and crocs was my only relief. Since then I have become addicted to them .To me they connotate comfort and leisure. Does’nt wearing crocs on the high holy day defeat the purpose of shirking personal mundane pleasure and comfort????
OK…so can someone tell me why a SHPITZEL is called a SHPITZEL As in the ultra orthodox holier than thou head covering?
This is my theory…. I win $1 every day of the year…because I don’t spend each day a $1 for a lottery ticket, therefore I win a $1 in my pocket daily!!!!
I often hear “pack out the boxes” or “plug out the wire” …..it’s UNPACK….UNPLUG…duh!
If someone compliments a close one of yours, f.e. spouse, friend, neighbor etc…and you dont pass it on to them, it indicates selfishness on your part. agree??
It simply annoys me when people ask me “How are you?” and don’t wait to hear my response. If it’s protocol or wanting to be courteous either take your time to listen to my honest response, or just say ” Hi! ” and go your merry way!
