Kimche de Pischka

Yesterday, I went shopping for Pesach. Usually, I’m not so organised, at all. But yesterday, I woke up with the idea that I could clean one room for chametz, already, and then buy most of the Pesach stuff and shove it there, so that’s one big chore off my list. So that’s what we did. It […]

Quick poll on Shalom Bayit

I want to make sure I’m touching on relevant stuff, in the Shalom Bayit segment of next week’s free Pesach webinar. So, please take a mo and let me know what’s the biggest challenge Pesach is posing to your shalom bayit: You can pick as many topics as are relevant, and it’s 100% anonymous. Thankenchou.

An awesome prayer from the Rav

This morning, I read this awesome prayer from the Rav. The last few weeks, even before the latest round of ‘WAR WITH IRAN’, I’ve been feeling a lot of repressed anxiety. Because it’s ‘repressed’, it tends to come out at night, when I suddenly can’t breathe so well, or find myself grinding my teeth again. […]

CERN turns lead into gold

You remember a few months ago, the Rav kept talking about ‘turning lead into gold’? Take a look at this, that I tripped over yesterday, even though it’s from last May: https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/research-frontiers/cern-researchers-briefly-produce-gold-when-lead-nuclei-collide/89290938 Here’s the takeaway: Physicists at the CERN nuclear research centre in Geneva have turned lead into gold. During the collision of lead nuclei […]

Getting back on the horse

I am sure I’m not the only one who is feeling as though the events of the last couple of weeks has totally blown me out of the water. I literally feel like I couldn’t think straight since all this started, couldn’t remember stuff, couldn’t really ‘deal’ with things, but of course, still having to […]

Cluster bombs – or something else?

If you didn’t see the footage already from last week, watch this: == This is the same sort of stuff I saw all over the sky 2 Rosh Hashana’s ago, when I was driving back along the 443 to Jerusalem, having dropped my husband at the airport erev Rosh Hashana for Uman. (He didn’t make […]

Over by Pesach – confirmation

My friend sent me the video of the Rav saying the war with Iran will be over by Pesach. It’s too big for me to post up here, but it’s from this one of the Rav’s informal Whatsapp groups: https://chat.whatsapp.com/CTSO5yoHiWTJs443liHiQi* The Rav is talking on Shushan Purim about how the 70 sons of Haman converted, […]

The crazy world

BH, yesterday was pretty quiet here in Jerusalem. Most other places, it was apparently not. My SIL in the penthouse up the coast sent me video of ‘cluster bombs’, or something, passing her mirpeset. My daughter from the Shomron showed me video of a few rockets, and craters, in yishuvim where real stuff apparently really did […]
