It is Rosh Hashuneh, and it has now been quite a few hours that I have been standing on my feet partaking in the regular rituals. Truth be told, on occasion I had been chatting with friends. Here and there, I stole a few moments to read the book I brought along. Yet still, here I am and, for the most part, I'm keeping with the program. I only had a small bite at noon, but the rest of the day I

I'm extremely busy and the thrill of blogging has subsided, as result I didn’t blog much.In the past few months I have started to write blog entries but was not motivated enough to finish the article; heck this one might befall the same fortune.I'm still lurking around, reading blogs and do find the time (mostly at night in the comfort of my bed) to listen to some hot-and-cold-lines.

This year at the Seder I expanded upon the verse of “shebchol dor vedor umdim ulieni lechalosinie”. I kept my children captivated with the story of the holocaust. I made use of my extensive knowledge I have gained on this topic through reading and research. I started with the history of Germany and world war one, the Weimar republic, the Hitler era and the Nazi regime and finally about the

When I’m amongst my Chasidishe friends and family I will smoothly blend into the Chasidishe tapestry and behave in a typical Chasidisher manner. Some call this kind of behavior rude and obnoxious however we Chasidim call it heimish and briderlich – intimate and brotherly (– go fig… well never mind). However, this is not the case when I leave my little cocoon and travel outside Chasidishville. On

Sorry for not posting lately. It was the result of laziness I tend to exhibit from time to time combined with being trapped in the realty of life… I will resume posting more regularly.Last night I was moved beyond words.

To the long list of negative impacts that global warming/climate change has on mother earth, we can add one more item, which I discovered yesterday.As a result of not snowing, people simply forgot how to drive even in a one inch, so called, snow storm. Remember the days when the term ‘snow storm’ was used to describe only one foot of snow and above???Another amazing discovery by yours truly

I personally witnessed the wild outbursts of New York Giants fans upon Eli Manning’s 32-yard pass to David Tyree and the ultimate touchdown by Burress. Their brawling celebration was in stark contrast to the eidel-refined joyous reaction of my fellow chasidisher Giants fans. At that moment I truly understood the Vehivdeeluni Min Hatoyim and the Atuh Bechartuni Mekol Huamim…

Attending a Tish – the shabbes meals Chasidim attend at their Rabbis house - for me is part of my lifestyle I fell in love in my very own way. Gone are the days which I loathed standing on the parentches – bleachers, participating in a ceremony I didn’t believe in. In its place came the quality experience of spending time with friends, munching on salty sunflower seeds, hopping on the bleachers

Three weeks ago in Italy there was yet another sign of the natural and healthy cultural evolution of Chasidism.The Gerer Chasidim arranged a unique presentation of their institution for philanthropists from all over the world. I’m sure by now most people reading my blog have read and seen the photos of the event. What captured my eye and I’m sure some didn’t make much of it was part of the event

Two compliments I received recently…1.After an intense and heated debate, in which I clearly had the upper hand, the Hemisher guy I was debating with flipped and said the following.“You are a Maskil.

Every so often I am reminded how wrong these whining-hasidic-blog-complainers are. They portray Chasidism as a culture that got wedged somewhere down on the second or third step in the rung of cultural evolution.Oh!! How wrong they are…Every time I’m reminded how incorrect they are it resurrects in me the burning urge to write an in-depth article - an essay if you will - that chronicles the

It was out of utter necessity, such as the wellbeing of my mental state of mind that prompted me to adopt this particular practice.

When I was seventeen – eighteen years old the very core foundation of everything I was taught was being challenged. By that I mean I was in serious doubt if everything I was told up until then, was indeed true. At the very top of my uncertainties was of course the G spot – namely God. Why this happened is a different story at a different time, bottom line, I was at that junction point in my life.

From Y-net...Golani fighters who survived the battle recount that Major Roee Klein who lost his life in Bint Jbeil, saved the life of his commanders by throwing himself on a hand grenade. "I still don't know for sure what happened there, but I won't be surprised if the description is accurate. Roee was a top quality commander and this description suites him."

For the last few years there is a campaign being led by the Heimisher communities alongside the Christian religious communities, urging the government to subsidize the private educational system in America, which would include the Chasidisher Chadurim / schools. At times this campaign was more intense and it seemed that it will become reality, at other occasions it was more subtle, yet still

Why are there so many fightings and quarrels amongst the various courts of Chasidisher Rabbis, amongst siblings, and family members of prominent Chasidisher Rabbis? It all stems from the lack of names.It is customary to have a name for the Casidisher group led by the Rabbi. These names, for the most part, originated from names of shtetel-ech in Europe that a famous Rabbi resided in. All the names

Why not rape a rapist. Why not steal from a thieve. Why not assault an assailant. Why not kill a killer. Hey, scratch the last one they do that already.Why are they killing this guy?For the crimes of this guy.

Some Advice for 'Also A Prat' by Yoinoson SchreiberSo also-a-prat reads Winston’s book and bursts a blood vessel. He stamps his foot and throws the toys out of the highchair. Next come the minced meatballs, mashed potatoes and mushy peas splattered all over the kitchen floor. Not very nice.Oy! I have some advice for you young man. Get a grip.

Upon finishing reading - not once but twice - her malicious and conniving written accusations, I can, without hesitation, accuse her of deceiving the general public. I can accuse her with the full sense of its meaning.Following is an open letter to Hella Winston.Dear Hella,As a proud Hassid (Chussid), I can say it's transparent from your writings that you did indeed fully penetrate the Hasidic

We are being attacked. My beloved neighborhood is being besmirched, and their inhabitants are violently slandered. In short, its time to take action.It became fashionable - now more then ever - to bash and belittle Chasidim in the most grotesque and repugnant way. I would venture to claim that it is reminiscent of the blood libels our forefathers had endured. With great sorrow I will admit that

I have to apologize for my previous post. It was false. I distorted – somewhat - the facts. This is how it should've read.The year was 1775, the person proclaiming war in the name of freedom was king George the III. The rebels and insurgents he was going to fight were the brave men whom we refer to as the founding fathers. It's frightening to see the similarities to that situation and the

I constantly pride myself on being able to admit openly that I made a mistake - on the rare occasion that it happens. I am of the belief that most mistakes a person makes become but a small nuisance if he can admit to it. The following is a mistake in belief I had about the agenda president Bush had for Iraq.When the president said the following “the Iraqis need to recognize that to be a subject

Every year durings the High Holiday season that incident comes back to my mind and it always slaps a smile across my face. It was right after I got married. I was trying to get a little venture going. I didn’t yet own a car, but this little business required a car. Since I didn’t have the money to buy one, the alternative was to rent one from some local yokel chasidisher guy (I was under the age

At times I wanted to be just like him when I would become an adult. He was the closest father figure I was going to emulate – and to a certain extent to this very day I still try to imitate his way of running a household. I have never ever seen him become angry, always in a good calm mood. I was glued to every word he uttered and enjoyed being in his presence. As an escape from the Friday madness

Grant, the face of determination. March 15 1865. This past week I was surprised to meet right here, in New York City, an American soldier who is temporarily back from fighting in Iraq. I recognized him immediately by the dog tag he was still wearing around his neck. I was saddened to see his right hand all bandaged up. I was "NOT" going to miss this opportunity to have a talk with him.I went over

This momentous era came as a great beacon light of hope to thousands of Hassidim who had been seared in the flames of oppression. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of seclusion.

This article proves my point fair and square. As long as there is a disagreement in the scientific and medical realm, the government – hence people like you and me, who are not specialist – should stay out of imposing their views which are based solely on feelings and emotions. It should be up to every individual to have the option to choose.Fetuses May Not Feel Pain in Early MonthsAug 23 4:15 PM

I was only nine years old, yet I still remember the position I was in - hunched over underneath that bench. Some adult feet were surrounding this bench. Suddenly all the commotion came to an abrupt end - all became silent. All the adults announced at once: Bureech Habuu!!! The faint cry of a little baby was heard. The feet surrounding the bench I was hiding under, started moving sporadically.
