My Goodness

I just had a really funny encounter.

I bumped into one of the guys from the main beis medrash here at YU. he asked me what I was going to be doing for break and I told him that I am gonna be in Teaneck.

He responded: "Bein Hasemestarim," implying that I should stay in YU and partake of the between semesters learning program.

I said: "I am doing Frollel."

"What's Frollel?"

"The kollel in Dr. Friedman's basement."

He was confused. "Who's Dr. Friedman?"

"The gevir of the Stollel."

"Okay I'm confused."

I then went to the restroom, where I was headed in the first place. I thought that the encounter was really funny.

You Slopsink!

Slopsink, happy birthday.





Enjoy 22. It's a great age.

Fibals

Finals, more like fibals.
Who cares?
Guys, I am trying a new theory this semester for finals. I am trying to laugh at them. That may be the best way to deal with them.
I have supplied you with this video for your entertainment.

(Snow Day)

Snow day.
I am at my cousins.
I am on a mac. I don't really know how to use macs so I cannot like put in a picture because I don't know how to do the steps on a mac.

Lipa

In Yiddish class today we were fortunate to view this video of Lipa Shmeltzer singing chanukah chanukah...
Ari Ackerman, My yiddish right-hand man, suggested that I put it on my blog. This here is the result of that suggestion.
It would be impossible not to notice Lipa's malchus-dika get up: a fur bekeshe and a HEADY streimel.

neo-Chassidic Takeover

As I was walking back from the minyan where I prayed on Shabbat morning, I passed on the street the guy who asked me if I went to Shaalvim. As I passed him I wished he and his wife a good Shabbos and i sensed the feeling of him noticing my neo-Chassidic ways. Then I wondered: with me and the Weinbergs and Slopsink and other neo-Chassidim hanging out in Teaneck, I think the people may be beginning to realize

that the neo-Chassidim are taking over.
