• 16:00:27: It's cute, on Farmville, these charedi women sending pigs to each other! ;)
• 16:15:55: It's not nice to be jealous. But if you can't help, envy someone's mitzvos and merits, not his supposedly easy life! (Rashi)

So stressed about Mati's starting school. Just as if it was mine! During the holidays she had time to forget the vowels and even the sofit... crazy! we went over her Yiddish book over Rosh Hashana and it seems she still doesn't "get" that a letter = a sound and that several letters = a word. This year will be "real" business, letters and all ( Read more... )

We picked up my Hebrew name necklace in Mea Shearim and discovered with huge eyes that some kollel men are reduced to work as cleaning men (?) for Pessach. Bachurim, all fine, but married men who spend their day learning? Not fine. What a lack of respect for Torah. Either the wives need a better schooling, or they need to study and work too if they ( Read more... )

Husband woke up better, but I barely slept because of my migraine, c'v, and woke up in a horrible state. Mati was even worse, her pithyriasis rash was back and she kept acting nuts. I cancelled the RBS Imamother meet with a heavy heart ( Read more... )

After shabbes, we went to visit the friend of my husband that he had called. We planned to stay half an hour but husband stayed there THREE HOURS!!! It was so so nice to meet this family. The husband is a full time kollelman in an elite charedi kollel and the wife is a Polish girl like me! It was just crazy how many common references and points ( Read more... )

We went to Mea Shearim (where Mati wants to settle because there are many « frum » and she likes little boys in « tights » and long payes) for shopping, and for the first time in years my husband actually found not one but two hats he liked ! He is very picky hat wise, not wanting one looking old, or Chabad, or this, or that, and must be Borsalino ( Read more... )

Why I don't believe in Chabad tznius rules being like that (sheitel always, no hair out, almost Falk style necklines, "untouched" beard, no long skirts, no hats, no university, no red lipstick...) from start is HERE. Shkoyech for real pics and a really good, real article.

On Imamother, some posters have insisted it was impossible that in a charedi restaurant there would be a mix of fish and dairy. I ended posting the menu of a Chabad restaurant serving the typical bagels with salmon and cream and pizza with tuna and cheese ( Read more... )
