Bless you, HS. May you have a beautiful Shabbos. And the rest of you/us, too.

wow, HS, great to hear good stuff from you

keep up your gevaldige work

have a super shabbos!

i am a bit weak. baruch hashem there are only 2 hours until i have to be at the mikvah then straight to shul. i think i have 2 hours of control in me:)
everyone have a great shabbas!
reb michel twerski from milwalkie came to town for shabbas! gona be gevaldig

day 6? wow! im already up to day 6.
shabbas was truly awesome. rabbi twerski was so inspiring (dont ask me waht he said:) ) i have a 2 week vacation starting wednesday. trying to set up busy time over that time

day 7
rabbosai,
its is the end of the 1st day of shovavim. the ppl of previos generations used to fast to fix there mistakes. that is NOT our avodah of now-a-days.  these weeks are meant to work on ourselves
maybe i have a shtikkle vort.  we know the famous baal haturim that this parsha is shemos= shnayim mikrah vechad targum. why now? why not tell us this by bereshis? its cus these weeks are when we start getting more careful. looking at the situation from a second view.    idk, i think there is some lesson in this to be learned, idk the right words to say though.
i just borrowed the nesivos shalom on shovavim
hs

It's a beautiful sefer, and if it works for you, fantastic!

Hey HS, I'm sure u gained from Rabbi Twerski over the weekend,after all he's a brother of our famous Dr AJ Twerski who gave his haskuma for this site Rabbi michael is 1 gr8 man and he is doing an awesome job in his town, stay connected with them
Hope u r doing good 2day

thanks jip and, i am. did pretty well. tommorow last day of school.
im cold.
day 8. i dont have much to say, not in the best mood.

hi. i think i had a fall. i started the action for a little bit, and i founf out that my dad only put a filter on one tv....
im having a lot go through my head. i need to get filters. there is so much i need to do.

Fell shmell - get up, and get back to the world of the living; one day at a time.

Filters are important, but they won't keep you clean by themselves.

i finished the first perek of pesachim today. im going back to do chazarah then starting the next perek, im on hei (5) in my chazarah so far. im keeping myself busy during this vacation. the nesivos shalom says that for this battle one should be mechazek himself in more torah and teffilah and gemilus chassadim.
day 1

you are talking the talk
and more importantly you are walking the walk
good for you
keeping busy is good

there are 2 things that i want to learn.
i dont know much of hilchos shabbas. i want to learn them though. im thinking of using the sefer: nitaei gavriel. from my past experiences with the sefer, it is more straightforward.
also i want to learn hilchos yichud from netaei gavriel also. right not its 3 my time. im catching up on GYE, i think when im done ill go back to shul. and learn. i think ill do both hilchos yichud and shabbos today? sound good?
the only hard part is that i am learning by myself. but wither way im by myself, so better learn!

i like nitai gavriel as well, very comprehensive and very straightforward.

i also have a hard time with hilchos shabbos, some things are very confusing for me. bishul,shehiyeh, chazarah, muktzah to name a few.

a good chavrusa in invaluable

my only question is how do you know when you're finished catching up on GYE?

haha..... i dont know:) im reading a bunch of unread threads now.....worst case scenario, ill make sure i go early to maariv to learn before davening and from there, ill stay until 9:00 and at that point ill come home and be probably about 5-10 min early for the phone conference.

those halachos are confusing, we did it in school but it was hard for me to internalize because of the way we are learning it, and the kids im with only learn it to do good on the test in school but not to actually know it.
