פרשת תרומה

Did anyone else catch this?

In last weeks parsha, chapter 27, verse 9:

"מאה באמה ארך לפאה האחת"

"One hundred amos for one peah"

- I am trying, but I still have a long way to go.

(Interestingly enough, when I mentioned this to my mother she said that she noticed it as well.)

An Episode

My Brother just came back with his friend from a day of snowboarding. When they walked into the house through the kitchen, my brother was holding some things and his friend was holding the snowboard. My, grandfather, who was sitting in the kitchen, saw them and asked: two people on one skateboard?

Bumper Shticker

This morning, as I was walking to my car in the parking lot of Bnei Yeshurun in Teaneck, I noticed a certain bumper sticker on a van which said: "School is open, drive carefully."

Now, does he remove that sticker in June?

Funny Enough

The other week I got a ride to Teaneck with a friend of mine and I noticed on the highway that he was driving very fast. He was in the left lane and everyone would move to the middle lane as he crept up on them.
Today I saw him on the computer and I asked him: "You doing work?"
"No, I have to register for a defensive driving course."
"You got like a ticket or something?"
"I got three. I've got to take this course or pay five hundred bones. There's no way that I'm doing that."
So, there you have it. I guess I am not the only one who thinks that he drives too fast.

Ink Jet Cartridges

I have noticed before and did so today as well, that there is a recycling initiative to recycle ink jet cartridges. Today, when i noticed the green box I looked inside to see if anyone actually put anything in the box; it was empty.

Who has ink jet cartridges? Out of all things to recycle, why choose ink jet cartridges?

Rabbi Danielli

Does everybody know that Gaby Danielli is now teaching a class in IBC?

Yeah, that's funny.

The class has one person in it and they meet in the Morg lounge.

Pretty funny.

This One's for You

Shmad, this post is for you.

Why are you known as HaAdmor?

Feel free to answer my question in a comment.

Thanks

A Support for the Stollel

I was just in my apartment and I saw a large shofar. I realized that the shofar belongs to the stollel. Then I was reminded of the blessing that we say in prayers: תקע בשופר גדול לחרותנו. It will be a large shofar that we blow into during at the time of redemption. Maybe the holy blowers will be stollelnicks.

Don't Miss Out

Don't kick yourself afterwards. There is an unbelievable opportunity this coming Motzei Shabbos to see The Otzar/ Shirei Haleviim play live at the YU SOY TAC Seforim sale. This is a free show. this opportunity does not happen often. The last time it happened was on yom Haatzmaut and it was a great success. Do not wait for the next chance. Be there to show your support for your friends. We are looking for crazy fans.

Good Shabbos.

And I'm Back

Back to the fifth floor of the library, that is. Some statistics.

Looks Kinda Like Me

My parents got back from Israel yesterday. I was hoping that Moshiach was going to come before they returned. Anyhow, my parents are looking into an "apt" in Israel and I think that it was my father who said that there were pictures of the apt on my mother's cell phone. There were no pictures of the apt on the phone, but there was a picture of someone who I thought looked like me. And he was standing with my father. But I realized that his beared was longer than mine. Also, I didn't think that my Peyos were that wild.

The story goes that my father was on בן יהודה street and so were the na nachs. My father thought that one of them looked like me so he asked to take a picture. They exchanged info. His name is Avi Praber (or something like that) and he is originally from Staten Island. My father told this na nach that he is from Teaneck and he responded that he learned for a year at the Yeshiva Gedola of Teaneck. Pretty cool.

P.S. Alicht, thanks for the reminder that Feb 1st is today.

So It's been a While

Wow. Just now when I went to my own blog, I typed in the wrong address and ended up by that "simple Jew" who conveniently took Sruli.blogspot.com (without the extra "i").

He still has not put up a post.
