Suggested Greeting-“Lag Sameach” or “Shabbos Shalom”  

Bar Yochai!

Bar Yochai!

Jews around the world will sing this song in shul.

Here we’re singing the praises of a tzaddik TO him.
NimshachTA, AshreCHA

Is he in shul with us?

What’s the point of this minhag?

Brotherly Question

Brotherly Question

All Jews say “Yaakov Avinu”.
Men and women alike.

Women are called “Bais Yaakov”. That fits.
Why are the men called “Bnei Yisroel”?
They don’t say “Yisroel Avinu”…

Shabbos Shalom!

This morning, as netz approached for the kosel daveners, baseball sized stones rained down!
Ramadan.

Afterwards, a gabai of Rav Ades Shlita tells me, “The Rav went thru the entire selichot earlier last night four times in different locations. Imagine what would have been otherwise!”

There’s always a Kohen Gadol in the Kodesh HaKodoshim!

Shabbos Shalom

Pesach Prep Questions

Pesach Prep Questions

Why do we translate מה as “why”?
Why do so many ke’ara images have the horseradish incorrectly at the bottom?
Why can’t we see Eliyahu?
Why do some drink his cup of wine?
Why is Pesach so time constrained?
Why bother cleaning your shofar for Pesach?
Why kiss the matzos but not the ke’ara elements?
Why break the matza into a dalet and a vav (could have been a dalet and yud)?
Why say Magid out loud?
Why does the matza have to be shmura?
Why don’t we recline correctly?
Why eat eggs if mourning is forbidden on Pesach?
Why does Maror correspond to Yaakov Avinu?
Why does Avraham Avinu tell Sarah to make matzos(one biggie wasn’t enough)?
Why do we sing the kid songs after the kids are long gone from the seder?
Why don’t we stay up the whole night as prescribed by the Arizal and Shulchan Aruch?
Why do we all (including the table) wear white?
Why shouldn’t we say “why” at all at the seder?

Chag Kasher V’Sameach!

LNegdi Tamid Seder Tomorrow Night!

LNegdi Tamid Seder Tomorrow Night!

At least the four questions part…

Bring your four best questions.
Help answer others.

Command your own seder like a ben chorin!

Lashon Hora said in private.
Between two people.
The victim will never know.

Even if he doesn’t suffer at all,
this is worse than murdering him!
