Welcome!
The following post doesn't contain anything particularly interesting or compelling just some background info.
Age: About to turn 21
Gender: Bochur
Occupation: Bochur
Grew up religious affiliated with Chabad.
Went to a Modox highschool.
Was one of the trouble makers and controversial students.
Went to a yeshiva in Israel for those who have "strayed from the path."
Stayed two years and then moved on to a large litvisher yeshiva.
In the mean time I had been hanging out with lubavitcher bochurim and attending farbrengens.
On Chai Elul 5768 I decided I needed to leave said yeshiva as soon as possible.
I left at the end of Elul and due to certain circumstances + my own laziness I basically did nothing this past year.
I'm finally going to a lubavitcher yeshiva about a year after I decided I need to.
More elucidation to come at a later time.
Things I am excited about:
Learning gemara seriously.
The tri-state area. (Everyone I know my age will be within those borders)
Snow and frozen things hopefully.
Being within convenient traveling distance of The Rebbe's Ohel.
Yeshiva lifestyle
Things I am nervous about:
Learning chassidus seriously
(I dont get Chassidus the way I get nigleh... am I broken? :-P)
Meeting new people
Expectaions
What I intend to write about:
Whatever occurs to me.

ReplyDeleteok questions:
you are now lubavitch? and if yes, very commendable on that big step. It must have been a hard decision, even if you knew where u wanted to be. Chai Elul, good day to switch.
Being within convenient traveling distance of The Rebbe's Ohel.- I like that one.
tri state area, frozen snow- are u from a place with a warm climate?
Expectaions- I'm there with u on that. I hate it, because then u feel like u have to live up to them. and i'm no one to say this but- you will do fine.
meeting new people- hate it. but u gotta do it.
Chassidus is for everyone, and u will get it in time. it is awesome to learn nigla with chassidus, it makes everything come to life. ( i cant believe im saying that.)
Keep writing!!

My only experiences with really cold weather are having been in NY/NJ on trips, and when there was a "blizzard" in Jerusalem two winters ago.
