A Rahel fundraiser: You folks helped me out big-time last year when Gracie was sick, and now we need to help Rahel. The vet bills were high, but Lady has recovered from her diabetes and is happy and healthy and no longer a stray. Paypal won’t send money to Israel (I don’t know why; I’m working on that). So I think we’re going to have to send checks. Or international money orders.
Them’s fighting words: I want this t-shirt. I REALLY want this t-shirt.
Can’t drive in Saudi Arabia, but she can drive in Israel (that racist, apartheid state): A Muslim woman taxi driver in Jerusalem, and the BBC notices. (And they don’t seem to be able to hit Israel with anything for it, either.) Seriously? There’s only one woman cab driver in Jerusalem? You know, come to think of it, I never had a woman cab driver in NYC. Not once.
Sending your children off to war: The left can pretend that the world is really a peaceful place, but it isn’t. Lady-Light writes about her daughter’s choice of unit for her IDF service.
Haveil Havalim: I forgot last week’s, which was at Reb Chaim HaQoton’s. Complete with commentary. Well, what’d you expect, with a name like Reb Chaim? (Oh, so that’s where Sabba Hillel got the post about the cost of building the First Temple. Billions and billions, folks.)
Never too late for Tisha b’Av: Judith Weiss’ annual Tisha b’Av post. Read it, and weep. Really.
Thank you, Meryl, with all my heart.
I need to qvell a little here. The “other Reb Chaim” is my son. His postings are very good.
You are confused, because I am not your son, nor have I ever been.
That would be why he linked to the other Reb Chaim while quoting your post, Reb Chaim.
You’re both confusing me. I may have to call you Reb Chaim 1 and Reb Chaim 2. But I’ll keep calling Sabba Hillel Sabba Hillel.
