Sorry I haven’t done my own post in the past few days, but getting the Purim blog concept ready has taken all my time, and then I decided to spend some quality time with my oldest son.
Continuing in the tradition of bringing you the latest and greatest of the Holy Land, I will tell you about our recent tiyul.
It was actually our first tiyul together, and while I am not Zocheh to live there (I just get to visit for work when I’m not escaping from
Parts of the story I won’t discuss (after all you’ll ask why these things always happen to me), but the highlights of the visit were Broadway & 42nd Street when we stopped to take a photograph near the Gap, and another overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge on our way to J&R for shopping.
Ahh, as Chardal would tell you, even breathing the air (and drinking the water) makes one feel richer, though he would probably throw in a pasuk and a medrash to explain why.
Of course, it was drinking the water that was the problem, and it involved a Brita filter, Shabbat and our host, another well known Blogger. But as I said that’s another story which I won’t discuss.
But my son was really surprised when out of the blue our host asked if he knew who JoeSettler was. He let out an abababababa and then a really loud shriek with some fake tears. Basically it meant that it was time for my wife to feed him.
Wherever I am, my blog turns towards the Goldena Medina

ReplyDeletePerfect. Now who is writing these? Inquiring minds want to know.

ReplyDeleteAlthough for people who know Arabic, that "let's take Arabic letters and use them for similar-looking Latin letters" font is almost impossible to read... :-P
