Oops, I started something I see.  :-[

Pity this Rebbitzen cant call him back either.

But he sure has earned this break, taking over both sides of the mechitza for a month and spending all day either on the forum or staking out Flatbush  and something called a Pomogranate!

Guard; better he should rest now and return right after aseres yemei teshuva, than leave then indefinitely...

Gmar chasima tova Rebbe!

hello, bards, where you at?

excuse me and allow me to rephrase it in chassidus:

לאן אתה רץ ומה התכלית

Reb Levi Yitzchak and Chametz

One year, shortly before the first Pesach Seder, the holy Rebbe, Reb Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev, took several of his

students into town. He knocked on the door of a local store and asked to buy cigarettes. The storekeeper replied, "I

don't have any. Don't you know that they are illegal?" Reb Levi Yitzchak was persistent and again asked to buy

cigarettes. After several requests, the storekeeper produced the cigarettes and was willing to sell them.

Reb Levi Yitzchak then approached a man walking down the street and asked if he had a cigarette. "Don't you know

that they are illegal? I can get thrown in jail for possession!" Again, after several requests, the gentleman displayed his

stash and offered one to the Berditchever.



Reb Levi Yitzchak then sent his attendant to a Jewish home to ask if they had a small piece of bread. "G-d forbid!" was

the reply, and not knowing why the attendant was asking, continued to explain, "On Pesach we are forbidden to have

any bread or chametz in our home." The attendant went to a second home and a third home, and the reply was the

same.


When the attendant returned empty-handed to his Rebbe, Reb Levi Yitzchak held his hands up high and

exclaimed, "Master of the Universe! The Czar forbids the importation of these cigarettes. He has soldiers and policemen to

help enforce this law. But yet these cigarettes are on the streets and available to all, somehow smuggled across the

border.

"Three thousand years ago, You commanded Your children not to bring bread into their homes on Pesach. You have no

soldiers or policemen, yet there is no bread to be found in all of Berditchev.

See how powerfully Your children love You!!"

from todays chizzuk email

The Ba'al Hasulam compares the Yetzer Hara to an "itch". We keep scratching because it itches, and it feels good to scratch, but the scratching only makes the itch worse, until it finally bleeds. However, if we decide in our minds that we will not scratch the itch any more - come what may, it will burn with a powerful itchiness for a short while, but then suddenly the itch just disappears! That is the nature of the Yetzer Hara

I didn't see anyone else comment on your new pic.
not sure why  ???

Although you do look very handsome in middle age, your stately Mr. B. 3-d glasses is sorely missed.

Sort of livens up the forum.

And who is that fellow next to you?

For some reason that I am not sure about, he reminds me of Menachem Begin.

:D  Hope your not Satmar...
