22 degrees Fahrenheit, winds blowing everything all around so it feels like single digits, and I’m supposed to stand out there, under the open sky to bless the moon, and THEN dance around like an old shmoyger???


I happen to enjoy Kiddush Levana (I even tighten my tzitzis knots after-i seem to be the only guy in my shul that does that) but I HATE the dancing afterwards. Tovim meoros is the most boring miserable song ever. The tune is so depressing and could be sung at a funeral! I refuse to join in the circle. 

When i was in E”Y, I found that Israelis seem to pride themselves in how low of a key they can start Toivim Me’oros- starting with the Marianas Trench.

You also get extra points for saying 'a sheina lvana' in a deep aggressive growl

HA! Y'all got to say Kiddush Levana. It's been far too dreary here for that. Haven't seen any celestials for at least a week.

Guys you know its תש25, right? And we have options... Nobody is forcing you to sign a boring depressing song. Choose a good lebedige song and get the other yiden some fire! Come on people!

Maybe your baby drank Motrin to prepare for this inevitable scenario!

I hate Shovavim.

It brings back some miserable memories of always failing.
Never making it past the first thursday.
Never connecting with the projects.
Counting down the days till life slipped back into its mundane blur.

My son came home from school and launched excitedly into this Shovavim program they're running there, it took extra effort to listen patiently and (attempt to) share his excitement.

How ironic would it be if it’s the program being pushed by GYE?

Hear hear!

It never spoke to me! I don't really understand it. And I never was able to hold back for 10 minutes anyways.
