Purim - Day 1 (Part 1)

The sun slowly peaked out over Samson's grave. It had begun. Rav Ari led the way at the morning vasikin minyan, both davening and laining the megillah. Because of the many Stollel members in the house we almost won the morning vote to stomp out every one of Haman's names but we fell just short to the opposition. Breakfast was an assortment of Purim dishes: eggs, milk (chocolate and regular), hamantashen. We exchanged mishloach manos to one another.

From there, some went back to sleep, some to learn and others do deliver and collect tzedaka for matanos li'evyonim.

Towards midday Tzavei had made there way to the Rebbe's house. Much wine had already been consumed and between the yayin and the hot day I kept having these visions of a tiny child playing many different musical instruments.

After various teachings from the Rebbe to his night-shiur and a handful of pieces of chicken from the Holy Rebbetzin the band played some Purim tunes.

And then, it happened...
After coming down to earth, we began to put away the musical equipment. "Wait," I heard him say with a heavy Israeli accent. I spun around and saw him standing in the doorway, sticker-covered guitar already strung around his neck. "I want to play for you my new song"...

    Greatest clip ever. I believe the correct benediction is hatov v'hamaitiv.

    Wow....I see a bunch of tools. "But where is the shed?" Y'alll are straight foolish. Anwayz, I got a few points to make:
    -In the second vid, a R' Judah young'n ) I don't remember names) asked for silence. Y'all didn't grant that request. Way to treat the li'l ones.
    -In the third vid, I seen that the Rebbe controls the crowd very well; when he tells them what to do, they do so without hesitation, even in they drunken state. His crowd control should come as no "chidush" though; y'all have been his sheep for a while now.
    -In that same vid, Zlotnick looks like a towel-head. If i was there, blood would have been shed.
    -Alicht with his sick comments, as usual. I love his comments, oh, and the way he can send subliminal messages that makes people get up from couches for him just so he can sit down.
    -This is not hate, by the way. If i was hating on people, it would be so hot your skin would blister.
    -Ashrenu, sons.
    -RL, thug love. Like the cover of Rolling stone with pac on it that R. Ari's oldest vermin--I mean son--ripped off my wall 4 (3??) years ago.

    For the record-

    1)all of this "allegedly" took place.

    2)Thank you for showing restraint by not posting the part where - allegedly- snoop dog & Run DMC lyrics surfaced

    3)Mike Sohn b'gematria = Yud Gimel Midos HaRachamim (add a silent ayin here and there- it works out).

    4)Glenn- for the record, The Shpoler Zeide preceeded Matithias by about 200 years.
    Ayein- www.chabad.org/multimedia/media_cdo/aid/140712/jewish/Kol-Bayaar.htm

    5) Pie / Prince / unidentified symbol person: watch your mouf when you speak about my nephew - that's the future of the Moetzes Gedolei Yisrael you're calling vermin; please curb the anti-semitism. can't we all just get along?

    (and I'm not just saying that in case Rav Ari checks the comments)
