Back to Yeshiva... YUM YUM!

Icy moustache

The temperature here:

3°F
Feels Like
-16°F
(Weather.com)

I walked home (well... where I'm staying) from shul and by the time I arrived I noticed that somehow ice had formed in my moustache. It must have be from sublimation or something like that because I did not have any liquids there when I left. Then when I arrived no one answered the door. I stood outside for around twenty minutes reading "Mystical Concepts in Chassidus" which is appended to the back of the Hebrew-English Tanya.

Then B"H someone answered the door.

Camera was dead so no pictures.

Who would have known...

"Moshiach Now"
would make an elderly man roll up his sleeve and start crying.
Then we all hugged and told him that he won and that because he won we all won and even those people which he thought lost won too!

The Almighty God

I was about to a light a menora at an old age home when an elderly woman asked me which synagogue I belong to. I told her that I don't go to any of the local synagogues but that I am a yeshiva student and helping the local Chabad rabbi.
She told me "Oh well I am a member of the Reconstructionist synagogue. The important thing is that we all believe in One Almighty God."
I didn't have the chutzpah to ask her what she thinks The One Almighty God does or want's besides adherence to ambiguous contemporary morality.
She also apparently doesn't understand that she isn't even supposed to believe in a divine supernatural power according to the Reconstructionist platform...
Hashem should help.

A foolish response

If someone was being threatened with a firing or divorce (we shouldn't know from such things)
their response would never be "But I'm a good person!"

I'm on strike

How can you tell me to learn b'iyun but when I have a question be too busy talking to people who aren't even in our shiur? How can you not be holding shtark in the sugya but expect me to know it inside and out?

How can yall tell bochurim to have and speak with a mashpia... but never be available for them to speak to you?

How can you call yourself rebbeim and the hahala, when you function as neither?

If I were a fryak you would pay attention to me, why as a yeshiva bochur should I be ignored?

I am in your Yeshiva and you are allegedly supposed to be the staff of the very same!

If you wont teach, I won't learn.
I see no need to come to the zal and pretend.
Lets be honest with each other and stop pretending that there is a Yeshiva going on over here.
