Often when saying Ashrai I find myself veering into Asher Yatzar. I haven’t figured out yet which words it is that send me in that direction.

You can win the fight, but I'll have to live with the loser.

Any excuse you use for yourself, you must be willing to use for your wife.

Not Always can I understand others, but I can always respect their wishes.

You're human, it's okay.

One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.

I was chazzan for maariv and after the first kaddish, I took 3 steps back instead of saying Barchu!

Mmm... I found myself bowing at the bracha ho'kel hakodosh the other day because I was tipped off by the word "Selah" which is just before the bracha "hatov shimcha u'lecha," but that is only in Ashkenaz, so we each have our fair share of opportunities...

Davening Mussaf for the amud on Shabbos Mevorchim and your brain decides it doesn't want to recall what month it is . . .
Today is yesterday's tomorrow.
The yetzarim a person has the most trouble dealing with are his most powerful God-given tools for developing his potential and achieving shleimus.
In order to love who you are, you cannot hate the experiences that shaped you.
It doesn't matter how big the number is, only that today it is going up by one.

A few months back, there was a whole hullabaloo between the chazzan and the rest of the shul add to the proper מולד… Took him forever to get it right.

Apparently the Chodesh was inaugurated in the beis hamikdash in yiddish. The מולד must be too. 

If your shul don’t know yiddish, you don’t get a molad?? 

If you can say it in yiddish by teleprompter and break your teeth in the process, you’re more frum, for sure

"teleprompter" is a funny mental image.

Pretty sure that as long as the announcement starts with “der moiled vet zayn”, everything else can be said בלעז, and it is still חל.
