Rabboisai,
The only issue about The Poshiter Yid & Yidenis is that We Are Not That Poshit!
We are Holy of Holy! Higher then High! Deeper then the Deep!
So we are not "Poshit" after all.
We are Front Line Soldiers!
We are Bnie Melech Malchei Hamlochim!
So the book is a Gr8 idea only the title "The Ben HaMelech's Guide To Kedusha" is more like it.
Its a good point.
I was thinking of putting that title page at the end of the book.
You see, too many people identify with the poshiter yid. They think nu, what is a man to do, Hashem put us in this thing called Manhattan, what can really be expected of me....
They will not pick up a book called The Ben Melech's... etc.
Thats for those special others. I know who I really am, what pulls and lows I have inside of me.
I'm 'just a pashuter yid'
The beauty of this site is the blend of all type of yiddin all backgrounds and all level of scholarships (and even the Mommies... capitalized on purpose, out of respect) all in tune to the single message of Rabeinu... that lust is fake, it is not the real us, its just that we have been programmed literally by the sick world around us... and that it is actually possible NOT TO LUST....
so yes, put the ideas, anecdotes, and testemonials from this site into pages, and at the end the reader will understand and identify with your title.
But a title is about marketing.... and so I still think it should be ....poshiter yid's..
Do you agree... can we go onto the copyright page ? :D :D :D
