I just got sent this poster from one of the organisers of the free Pesach Breslov Webinar: == We are figuring things out so there will be seperate ‘break out’ rooms for men and women, so no-one needs to worry about shmirat eynayim, etc. Also, we are going to have a ‘coffee time’ option at the […]
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, […]
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 […]
That’s what I’m hearing on the ‘Rav’ grapevine, but I haven’t confirmed it yet. But I’m putting this up here now, to counteract so much of the yeoush and horrible headlines that if we took seriously, we’d all just jump off a bridge now, and c’est tout. God is running the world. Each day is a […]
Well, another year, another Shushan Purim. Even before ‘WAR WITH IRAN’, we decided to make an effort this year to really ‘do’ Purim properly. I got some crepe paper and turned the living room into a kinda Persian palace. I got some material, and made some kinda ‘Bigsan and Teresh’ costumes. My husband found some […]
Purim SAMEACH! I know, I know. We’re all working on it. In the meantime, new music from Nissim Black: == And new comedy from Bardak. Enjoy!
Yesterday, I was at the Rav for evening prayers. We try to go at least three times a week, and when there is ‘stuff’ going on, we try to go even more. So, I was set in the little covered section right at the front, trying to do some hitbodedut, actually feeling safer than I’ve been […]
I was reading Conversations 3 on Shabbat. I decided to open it up ‘randomly’, as of course, there is no such thing as ‘random’ in the world. This is what I opened it up to – still so, so relevant for today. (BTW, Conversations 3 is a really excellent book… I know I put it […]
Excerpt of a shiur given over on 21st Tevet, 5786 Bilaam said the strongest brachot (blessings for Am Israel). “I shall see him, but not now. I shall look at him, but it is not near. A star has issued from Jacob and a sceptre-bearer has risen from Israel, and he shall pierce the nobles […]
Shavua tov. Baruch Hashem, I had the best night’s sleep in about two months, yesterday night, and it looks like I’m probably going to need it. Because the azekot are back – not that you’d know that from the Rav’s davening, but everywhere else in Jerusalem is kinda a ghost town at the moment, again. There […]
