The Arrivals

Day 1 of Videos is a series of the various arrivals.
The plan was to completely surprise the Rebbe and bring a group for Purim. The general consesus was, however, that it would be too much to handle and so some felt that he should be informed that Tzavei (Rapps, Slopsink, and Weinberg) was coming. The remaining members of the Purim Squad (Kosher Dillz, Leicht, J-Al, Eisenberg and Stoke) were still to be a surprise.
We arrived and took some shady sheirut back to Beit Shemesh. The guy asked for a disc to play and we gave him Ein Od Milvado. He thought all the songs sounded the same.
If you listen carefully you can hear Sruli explain the lighting situation on the NJ Turnpike.

The band made themselves known and proceeded to follow the Rebbe to his Night Shiur which was on the topic of "עד דלא ידע" when suddenly...


The Rebbe continued to deliver his discourse about how on Purim we dont have to be bound by time and space and that there are Jews in America (Adam P., Rafi Leicht, Justin Diller...) who wished they could be here for Purim too. If you put your mind in a certain place, the Rebbe explained, then that too can become a reality...


Stoke went from the Airport to the Moshav and stayed hidden throughout Shabbos. Sunday he was spotted in the woods of Tzfat with Eili HaKohen. Ta'anis Esther he hung low in Yerushalayim. Ma'ariv was about to begin and rumor had it, the Stoke was in the building...

And then he truly arrived...


What happened in the next 48 hours? Only time will tell...

Stay Tuned for more Purim Adventure from now until the chag ha'geulah!

  1. what you can't see in the eisenberg video is rav judah biting him, & thats b/c he didnt bite him then. but you can be sure he did throughout the rest of purim!
    also, for those who dont know, that Jew coming out of the elevator is a wonderful shana alef guy named tzvi, or as he's most commonly referreed to by his nickname - Schwarma!

  5. okay, a few things to be mevarer over here. Schwarma's name is not tzvi, rather it is Yitzi. additionally, it was my understanding that the reason why the band tzavei did not surprise R Judah was so that they could land the gig at his house before any other plans were made. Good Shabbos.

  6. A few he'aros:

    >Video #1 - Classic Eisenberg @ :20 "I had nothing else better to do with my life..."

    >Still unconfirmed that Rafi & Kosha Dillz actually were physically present.

    >Please note the background music playing in the Beis Medrash when the tzurah of Stoke became visible.

    >And BTW, Sruli is correct.

  7. oh, no way. I thought that weinberg overdubbed the video. However, coming to think of it, i remember that raz's cd was playing in the Beis Midrash. (That part of the night i do still remember.)

  9. I am not lieing. I realy was tearing during all of the reunoins. It was the most emtional movie I've seen since "We Are Marshall."

    Nice showing of Josh Hill in his white suite and black shirt next to Rebbi on Purim.

    He wil make a good member of the Stollel club after a little shanna beis.

    Where was Buns throughout all of this?

    Good Shabbos.

  10. It was really great being by Rav Judah for Purim!

  11. Just because you made it to the valley of the jawbone on Purim doesn't mean you have to rub it in Bronto. This means war! That's right goat i'm coming after you too!

  12. i happen to agree with the mitzvah boy on this nekuda: sohnar, you must stop hatin' on everyone's game. Nobody can take even one step without you hatin' on their game. I also agree with each prat of couch yid's comment. Gut Shabbos.

  13. couch yid - buns was smoking a lot in rav judahs back yard throughout all of this, with josh hill i might add

  14. woooo. One second.... red flag.... i'm gonna have to open this one up to the public. Does anyone think that this last comment was a bit of a low blow? Please do not mention anyone else who was back there. What goes down on purim, especially when it involves a backyard, some may say must remain unspoken of.

  15. sruli, everything that went down on purim was extremely holy and i see no reason to refrain from sharing such kedusha amongst the stollel crew. if you wanna withhold kedusha from the world then go ahead

    ReplyDelete
  16. I'm going to have to agree with Sruli - Buns' avodah sounds to me like a private matter

    ReplyDelete
  17. yes. I'm going to have to agree with alicht.

  18. Purim is mamish so holy. It's like if you saw a navi in a prophetic trance. They might look like they are doing some crazy things but inside they are so high. So you can look at someone on Purim and think maybe they aren't doing something so holy but they really are. It might be publicly hard to handle and maybe a halcha sheyn morin kein but we must now that its mamish holy.
