I am really praying that we all get to Meron this year. With no limitations or state-sponsored violence against the visitors. For the first time in about five years…. But we all know that the Evils won’t like that, because praying in Meron on L’ag B’omer is a key way of ‘sweetening judgements’ on the […]
Long story short, I am currently going through 6,000 pages of Philo’s writings. Half is Greek, half is the English translation, so let’s call it 3,000 pages. Here’s what I just came across, in his treatise called SPECIAL LAWS, Book II, 2: 37-42 There is literally nothing new under the sun, and maybe, just maybe, […]
The last day of Pesach, I got a notice from my landlady that ‘nextdoor’ would be starting serious renovation works early Sunday morning. Sunday morning, as promised, the walls started shaking at 7am on the dot, as seven Arab workers started wrecking the apartment next door to its foundations. My husband went to ask them […]
Yesterday, a good friend who had two doses of you-know-what told me she has very painful shingles. Three weeks ago, my husband bumped into a former neighbor of ours, who used to bike everywhere and was v fit and athletic, despite being newly-retired. He was big on getting the you-know-what – and on masking, and […]
Finger is healing nicely, BH. But still not typing much. Here is a vid of Dr Oz’s girl fainting during a Trump Press Conference: ==== Just more ‘safe and effective’ happening in everyone’s face…. Hope you had a good chag, and I’ll pick things up again here on the blog soon, BH.

Bottom line: It’s totally impossible to clean out all the chametz. Which is where the nullification prayer comes in that we say when we burn the chametz, because without God’s help – it’s totally impossible to keep the mitzvot of removing all chametz. Clearly, that’s a lesson for us about our own bad middot, too. We […]
After a few years of being out of print, OIAG 1 is back in print, Baruch Hashem. You can pick it up HERE. In keeping with the Rav’s instructions that all the books etc should be kept as cheap as possible – it’s as cheap as possible, given that Amazon gets nearly every cent, in […]
All the illnesses – because a person goes against the Tzaddik ‘Oro Meroz – Curse Meroz!’[1] He brought 100 shofars, he excommunicated the residents of Meroz. Here, it’s written that this was a city of four amot, because they didn’t come to help the Tzaddik, so he excommunicated them. So [or, alternatively], Meroz was a […]
Shiur given over on Monday even, 2nd of Nissan, 5785, after Ma’ariv (March 31, 2025) The girls are to finish the Sefer Tehillim every day.
