The Interview

On a scale of one to Purim I would give it a Tu B'Av.

purim message from the schachar children

The North Polica Rebba ... And his mishpacha

Amen Rally

Their will be a large Amen Rally held at 2:00 on thursday so that Chaim has a good interview at the OU. If you are unable to say Amen to other peoples Brachos then you can say tehillim but Amen's would be more preferable.

Thanks for participating

Have a Bur"BERRY" meaningful Purim.

Best Idea Ever

I go to stern. I bring a guitar. I sing (yes I sing) and play guitar on the corner outside one of the main buildings. I keep my guitar case open with a sign on it "for phone numbers only" and put a few scraps of paper in there with fake phone numbers already so people get the idea. What do you think?

PS - The baby from columbia is getting released tomorrow morning and they found new foster parents.

ballet

chavi starts ballet again today. she LOVES it. the problem is is that it starts and ends while rumbles is usually down for a nap. [hence chaim is a champ when he is home and can watch my boys]. so now it is 917 class doesnt start till 1030 and rumbles is a disaster but i need to keep him up so i can take her. ahhhhh soooo annoying. you know who would look fabulous in a tutu? RL

Its not such a secret

I am looking for an internship this summer, and it is not going so well. As a result I called up mindy asking if I can be her intern this summer. She sounded pretty into the idea and thats what the posts were about. BUt on a more serious note I have an interview with the OU soon for an internship so please keep your fingers crossed.

Just wanted to share my shalochos manochos idea. Chaim i need u to come up with a catchy slogan. I am putting thing with "berrys: inside

Party in Columbia (the hospital not the drug capital of the world)

I got a phone call if I can watch a six month year old down syndrome kid in the hospital overnight. I was a little worried being that he had down syndrome he would most likely be verbal. I do not work well with verbal kids. Then I had an epiphany, he is only six months old - NO CHANCE HE CAN SPEAK. So I agreed to watch him and I will be pulling an all nighter in the hospital tonight. If anyone gets bored (yes you batya) , or rumbles wakes up please give me a call. Ill let you know how it goes. Good night all.

Warm Happy Birthday Wishes

Thank you everyone for all your warm birthday wishes for Esther P.

Chaim, we really appreciated your Birthday card.

LOST

Batya's birthday card for me must have gotten lost in the mail being that i still have not gotten one. If anyone sees it let me know.

PS - Mindy sent me a really nice one with a heartwarming picture and message

No orange soup this shabbos

We're going to aunt sharon for shabbos so i wont get to call the olam. Good shabbos from the J's.

A ha'arah by Chaim G

Yeshivish people love when it snows. They wait all year to be black, white, and sneakers, preferably a white sneaker so it can stand out as much as possible. Now the question is how much snow does there still have to be for them to keep wearing sneakers. All the sidewalks and streets are plowed and if I wanted to I can walk around barefoot without my feet getting wet, but they're still out there proudly wearing their white sneakers. May we be zocheh to many more snow days. AMEN.

PS - there were a lot of "their (there, they're)"s in this post and I think I got them all correct. I have grown so much in college.

snow day part 2

my kids have off. they love the snow. the problem is that it is a little to deep for them so they only lasted a few minutes outside. fyi, according to 1010wins woodmere and floral park got the most snow on long island, over 16 inches.

Chaim....calm down. I forgot to sigh off of my father in laws gmail name. No, David Jacobowitz is not expecting. bassie j aka freecby

We have an infultrator

We have a new member to the blog and I have no clue who this is.

Clues: He/She has two kids

He/She is not pregnant but if they were they would want

to share the news with us on the blog

He/She has posted also on Tzvee's Talmudic Blog

He/She might live in teaneck and cby stand for

Congregation Bnei Yeshurin

But this is all just speculation. Does anyone else have any clues?

You know your in kollel when....

When ur daughter asks to put on her jacket when its time to go to sleep.

Enjoy the snow!

4:54 am

that is what time yosef entered my room this morning. i think he has jet lag. he has only slept past 6am twice in the past 3 weeks. anyone want him? he is a great cuddler and is actually ridiculously cute when he wakes up.

I fell asleep while listening to a shiur on my laptop (so frum and sooooooooo Modern Orthodox) and was woken up by a phone call. I did not have the number so instead let it go to voicemail. Needless to say they did not leave a voicemail and I had to call back (who knows maybe it was a 30 year old very shiach girl). No one picked up and I wasnt going to leave a message if she didn't. 20 minutes later I get a call and the following ensued:

Chaim: Hello

Anonymous phone caller: Hi who is this?

Chaim: Its chaim G (yes that is how i introduced myself)

Anonymous phone caller: Im sorry sir you dialed the wrong number.

And she hung up. I WAS SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT TO HER. You cant blame your mess up on me. You dialed the wrong number. So if anyone is bored please call her and let her know my feelings.

PS - As I was finished posting this the maccabeats finished having practice. You know that annoying kid in high school that walks around singing, its 20 of them (the only thing more annoying is a yeshiva filled with them) . Good night team

The Census

I was randomly chosen out of all the YU students to participate in the YU census. The questionare consisted of the usual do you speak english in your home and how many fathers may you possibly have. Then towards the end it started to get exciting, they tried to figure out your average income. They asked all the usual question but they forgot to ask about one major source of income, TATTI. They didnt mention anything about the income you receive from your father. What do they think, money grows on trees? I guess they are just kind of old fashion.

PS - As a result my income for the past year ended up being $0.00

It's keeping me up at night

It's 1:50 in the morning and I'm trying to go to sleep and I cant because I haven't found out in more then two weeks what Batya is having for dinner on friday night. Are we going to go for Orange soup for an eighth week in a row? How about unstuffed Cabbage that mommy made in the summer? Are we going to have shnitzel or chicken on the bone?

Will we ever know?

Farkush in Yesh

new wife: come honey, lets go buy gefilta fish?
farkush: ha ha ha (carpathian laugh) ve dont buy fish, ve catch fish
New wife: o.k., so lets then go to to chicken counter
farkush: why go to the chicken counter, theres some "fresh" chicken sitting on our counters

Bemes, I saw him shopping with his wife. I did a 360 degree turn to see him. If you dont know what a 360 degree turn in just check a Chaim G at the YU seforim sale. Im realy not sure if it was him..... I just wanted s/t to blog about.

Gtg pick up Roch from Gan.

Another Movie Idea

Seemingly these days im filled with good ideas. This one is called "SHOPPING AT THE YU SEFORIM SALE, not everyone comes to pick up seforim". It will be an undercover documentary of the inner workings on trying to pick up a girl at the YU seforim sale. But wait, how do you know there are going to be girls there. You see thats the beauty of YU. They pay girls to hang out in the Seforim Sale "they say they work there but im not buying it". Does anyone think this can turn into a summer internship?

Shidduch Crisis

Chaim, if it doesnt work out with you, theres always Mikey.

My Bashert

Here are just some fun facts about my future bashert. Batya I'm sorry I'm not dating yet but since it sounds so promising I think Mommy and Ta should pay you in advance.

1. She is 4 years older then me

2. She ran a 15 minute pace in the miami half marathon I ran a 8 minute pace

3. Quote from mindy "We have a lot of friends in common"

4. She might be older then Moshe Chaim (but no one is older then Moshe Chaim)(maybe they can have a combined 40th)

5. I will single handedly end the age gap and the shiduch "crisis" as a whole with this marriage

Dont worry there will be an announcement (and probably a video) when I start dating for real.

Chaim must not be intrested in companionship -either am I.

Shloshim Yom Lifnay Hachag

There is a Jewish custom that one is supposed to immerse themselves in the laws of a given holiday 30 days before that holiday. The Goar Aryeh (i think) says the importance of Tu B'shvat is just that it is 30 days before purim. So being that we are within 30 days, I think it is time to start thinking about purim costumes. I was thinking about going as the Teffilin Bomber this year. Any other ideas?
