Geshem is in the Cards
October 29, 2006Home for shabbos and back to work…
Another hour and change left to my israel weekend.
We had rain friday night. shabbos and a little today. When we heard the rain come down… we all ran to watch it. I don’t recall ever doing that. Tamar showed off her hebrew…
GESHEM!
Penina is amazed how she wont say rain …. just geshem… just like when she sees a cat.. she says Chatool….
I was just a bit upset when I got an aliya shabbos. They made an extra aliya for 2 fellas benching gommel.. and I go tthe posuk that started with the children of serug.
Hey, I’m not the only one with a white serugi kippa. Let’s not try to embaress the new guy…. I expected a bit more out of Mendy Newman.. out fearless gabbai. I hope his uncle does a better job this shabbos…as I’ll be in Staten ISland for the Strauss Bar Mitzvah. I brought the booze…fyi…
I also said my goodbyes to Doovid on shabbos. TOday he embareked on a 5 day bike tour from Jerusalem down to eliat. The tour is to raise money for a hospital here and he has been training for months. Cousin Joel Bryk came and is biking in a different tour … the on road one. I spoke to doovid at dinner time but he had to let me go as he put it. “Gotta go, they just put food in front of me.” I hope to interview him for my next podcast after the tour.
Today was a busy day as Penina and I went to speak to Moshe’s Rav and check out a junior HIgh that Yoni wants to go next year. Its a bit more american that his current place and the classes are smaller which may suit him better. One of the better things RBS has going for it is there are many schools that are suitable so you have several choices.
Before we went there we went to get a coffee and a croisant. It was the first time I went to this place since the tznius signs went up.
In the mercaz in RBS a huge sign was put up asking people to dress tznius. I’m also told that if a woman walks into a store with a sign on its door… they will insist on the woman wearing some kind of skirt thinggee. Turns out when I asked the guy behind the counter if I was dressed properly… he let me stay.
Well, I’m going to sign out and have some wine before I get on the plane. I hope my shaspod is fully charged a today is opening day for beitza. MAzel Tov to the daf people.
Also, a mazel tov to One of the best jewish baseball players… not pedro … Jason MArquis from Staten Island. The cardinals won the world series which just proves my point.
The tigers beat the yankees. THe cardinals beat the mets.
The cards beat the tigers… which tells you the Mets lost to a better team.
I’m out.
