    “The Tzionim brought their hatred out to the surface.”

    Ever heard of the 1929 arab pogroms? Almost 20 years before the “medina” was even created, arab savages murdered 133 Jews including 68 in Hebron just for the simple fact that they were living in the land of their Forefathers. It’s almost as if you’re making an excuse for the arab brutalities.

    I remember from a few years back (when I was still a lurked) there was this character named Moshe Rose who would also draw the ire of everyone. Is he/it Joseph as well?

    Went to Bear Mountain State Park. It’s beautiful and it’s hard to believe it’s only like a half an hour drive away from Manhattan (sans traffic). Not sure what to do for Memorial Day though….

    Not sure of the source but my neighbor does this all the time and it drives me nuts. They put bread on their porch and it usually flys all over and people step on the crumbs. In an ironic twist; by them giving the bread to the birds, it may cause themselves to not have bad Parnassa but causes their neighbors TO have the bad Parnassah instead as there is another Segula that stepping on bread is also bad for Parnassah. Go figure.

    That’s a great and powerful letter but I second Sac’s advice. It could turn an already awkward situation into a disastrous one. She might get creeped out and avoid you altogether. I’d leave the situation the way it is. You still have your other nieces and nephews who treat you with respect 🙂

    It’s easy to tell the gender of the poster. Usually females tend to be much more liberal with punctuation marks. Example: “what’s your favorite color????????” Or ” vanilla ice cream is delicious!!!!” = 99 percent of the time, a girl.

    Haha that’s another “problem”. I try to remain as inconspicuous as possible but I’m always found and pushed in the middle. I’m like thinking “I just want to eat my dessert in peace” while standing on the sidelines. The poor Chosson ends up with bruises due to my clumsy attempt at dancing. I usually end up kicking him and the people surrounding lol.

    Lemons and Snickers bars. But seriously, toast and tomato soup and an ice cold glass of OJ. After a long fast though some gatorade or powerade does wonders for me cause it rehydrates.

    It’s also the leftist PC thugs who force Israel to remove vital checkpoints. Ehud Barak and Co have Jewish blood on their hands due to their stupidity and blindness so the yishmaeli savages can walk freely and murder. They unfortunately never seem to learn the lesson: The more you give in to the arab animals, the more they’ll kill. HY’D!

    600 – Cool story. I purchased a 10 dollar corn cob pipe and a pack of regular tobacco. I find it very difficult to keep smoking constantly for more than like a minute cause it keeps on going out. I did get tongue burn as well from inhaling too hard to keep the tobacco burning but luckily the sensation went away. Not sure if this is for me after all. Maybe I’ll try a different flavor or something. It does however feel awesome to just bite on the stem.

    Excellent question Dovv, if only I knew lol

    AinOhd- I think you’re making too much of it. It’ll only be a couple times a week at most. Not much more unhealthy than walking the streets of NYC with all those plumes of smoke from cars and buses/trucks. Besides it provides great stress relief, just sitting there with a pipe; pondering all sorts of intellectual ponderings 🙂

    S20 – “seriously? who thinks a pipe=sophistication?? besides the pipers themselves? when i see someone with a pipe i think- how sad 🙁

    Oh well, that’s your opinion.

    deiyezooger – “Lets face it; a pipe = outdated, like an old profesor from the 1960’s.”

    Awesome! I wish I could look like a professor form the 60’s…Besides isn’t our whole way of dressing “outdated” what with Shtriemels and hats and all.

    yitayningwut- Yep, though if only I could grow a handlebar moustache…

    Tobacco smoke from a pipe is not inhaled so it’s not so terrible as people

    Make it out to be. Lol eclipse I forgot about that :p. not I- yep that’s why I wanna get one, plus I could give all sorts of sage advice and people would believe it cause let’s face it; a pipe = sophistication. Now all I need is a Sherlock Holmes hat and I’m all set :p

    Charlie Hall sports a short, trimmed beard with glasses and a Kippa Sruga and likes to wear bow ties.

    Sacrilege has dark hair and likes to roll her eyes for sport.

    BT Totty looks like any typical 30ish BP Totty except he lacks the infamous Chassidish/Heimish accent (although a real pro can still detect it)

    Eclipse looks like my mother.

    Oomis is a short, plump woman who slightly resembles Mrs. Weasley (from Harry Potter) and bakes delicious pastries (especially pies)

    The Wolf wear glasses half way down his nose in the classic professor style with a green tweed jacket and possibly with leather patches. Also his clothes smell like a tobacco pipe (in a good way) even though he probably doesn’t smoke, and he has a receding hairline in a style that only the wisest of men seem to feature.

    On another note, why does it seem that a lot of Frum people (especially in the bp area) are terrified of cats and dogs? As a cat owner i always find it amusing when my neighbors cower in fear everytime they see my cat stare at them from the window. Also, seeing a full grown man running away from a little old woman walking a little old poodle is so sad.

    Don’t worry Avi, i failed not once, not twice, but 3 times! On the morning of the 4th test i made a deal with Hashem that if i get up for the Minyan he’d make me pass… and i did! Each time i failed i had to wait like a month to retake it and it felt like forever! All the ladies failed me and the 1 guy i had passed me. I think ladies are more meticulous when it comes to these things. Try to get a man if it’s possible.

    Haifa – Yeah maybe i was comparing to Yerushalayim the community size. I was mostly in Hadar when i stayed there. My brother was there till about this past summer.

    I’ll contact NBN.

    Yechezkel – Nope i did not go to college and as for the army i wouldn’t even mind joining (obviously they DON’T care if i mind or not) just to do my part and all but we’ll see.

    It’s me- Yeah i am a little burnt out, however i’m not planning on moving there just because to run away from problems. I’ve always dreamed of returning home. I know it will be tough but with G-d’s help i will not only survive but i will thrive in the Holyland just like shadshad, Daniel, Haifagirl and thousands of others.

    It’s_me and Mamash – If i have to join the army than so be it.

    Shadad, Haifa, Daniel, Amichai, Thankful and everyone: Thank you very much for the invaluable advice! I’ll update you guys when i get there how it’s working out.

    May Moshiach come speedily in our days and bring Every Jew back to our Land!

    Eclipse – That’s almost exactly what my folks say as well. I still think though that i could make through with all those nisyonos.

    Feif – Correct me if i’m wrong but i think NBN caters specifically to the Modern Orthodox crowd with college degrees.

    Cshapiro – Yeah when i was in Israel it was amazing and i was living at my parents expense.It is hard to live there but i think if I live like an Israeli and forgo all the American luxuries (well most of them anyway) i’d be ok.

    Fabie – I’d love to live in Yerushalayim obviously but i wouldn’t mind other cities with cheaper rent. I do have some Israeli cousins and some friends from my Yeshiva days. I’ll hopefully find a Kallah just like anyone else who lived in Israel and got married there. People do get married in Israel, no?

    Haifa- Yeah i know it takes commitment and i am committed . I do know Hebrew quite well as my Father is Israeli so i have an advantage with the language. I’m sure Chaifa is much cheaper and all but i had a brother who studied there and when i visited him a few times for Shabbos i was very disappointed. On the bus ride when we entered Haifa i saw a huge sign on the mall that said in Hebrew “now opened on Shabbos!”. The Frum community seems very small and there seemed to be too many drunk Russians and arabs walking about. Didn’t feels safe there. Do you like it there?

    Smart- Nope but funnily enough they don’t grow on trees in NY either.

    Haifa – lol cleaning toilets?! Wow that’s harsh! I’m still willing to go though.

    Definitely the Chassidish bus! The Yeshivesh bus will just be singing Abish Brodt songs the whole time and make for a very somber and depressing trip. The Modern bus will probably stuff up the toilet and everyone will be named Avi or Josh so it’ll be a very confusing and the Chassidish bus while being far from perfect will have the best food and nigunim (i could eat gala and matjas herring all day) and they probably will all be wearing baseball caps which look both hilarious and adorable on any Chassid.
