Stollel Queens...The Real World

We welcome our fellow Stollel-members Queens Division to the big leagues with their debut.

Rosh Stollel to visit Y.U. - Monday Night

The Rosh Stollel will be in town, this Monday Night to deliver a groundbreaking shiur. I assume the topic will be Chanukah, but with the Rosh Stollel you just never know.

Time: Monday - After 10 P.M. Ma'ariv
Place: 4th Floor Glueck

Things to take note of...

Three things to take note of in this recent Yeshiva University Open House Brochure:

1) This is Rabbi Simon pre-beard. (Though it was not so long ago it still seems strange.)

2) I am in the background.

3) This picture was taken by a woman who clearly had no idea what was going on when she walked into the Muss Beis Midrash last year. I recall that at the time we thought that maybe this picture would make it into a Y.U. Brochure and thought it would be funny to make it look like Rabbi Simon was learning Breslov seforim (i.e. Likkutei Tefillos) at the time. Turns out the picture was used.

Additionally...

I have been thinking that for no reason at all I want to gather a team of people to spend the night in the Glueck Building/Library overnight. This operation will entail hiding from security people closing the building and only coming out after dark. There is no purpose to this mission.

Officially, the Glueck Beis Midrash closes at 2:30 A.M. (Why the Beis Midrash is ever "closed" is not for this discussion) and I think the Library closes even earlier. In the past, spending the night in the Library (I'm not saying I have or haven't) meant staying there until 9 AM the next morning, but now that they have connected the Beis Midrash with the Library, one can make their escape for the 7:45 AM minyan.

I am not worried about them finding this post because they will not know when we will strike.

Also, I am not sure what we will do when we come out after dark but I guess we will work on something.

I have not yet worked out the details, but is anyone with me?

The Big Decision...

So here's how it is...
Queens is really far away and people might not be able to stop by.
It's not terrible, but it's also not as suburban as Teaneck.

Therefore, last week a number of people came to the decision that this year, the year of 5770, the Stollel would become
The
Srollel
(at Sruli's house. Srollel would include a fully equipped basement with a separate entrance and all the snacks the Rebbetzin can bake.)

Then, this Shabbos we had breaking new that the official Stollel Sponsor and Supporter, Rabbi Dr. Jerry Friedman

offered his house (located across the street from the original Stollel Headquarters) to house Stollel 5770. He and his family are going on a trip during the winter break, would be leaving for a week, and offered to leave the Stollel his keys.

The question has thus become:

The Srollel
v.s.
The Frollel

Make the call...

A Rosh Chodesh treat...

And so the Adventures continue...

A guten chodesh to one and all.

Adventures with Tzavei...

We at Kollel Tamid Productions are proud to announce the beginning a new series...
Adventures with Tzavei



Adventures with Tazvei is a way by which we hope to show the world what is going on in the lives of the members of the hit-band, Tzavei. We anticipate that the videos will make you laugh, they'll make you cry, and any sort of emotion in between. We hope to have guest stars, plot twists, and so much more.

If you're interested in either proposing an idea for an episode or if you think you're great enough to deserve a guest spot in future episodes, you can e-mail us at TzaveiMusic@gmail.com or comment below.

And so the adventure begins...

כי מציון תצא תורה...

The fine people at MachlisPresents.org heard about our blog and have been in correspondence with the Stollel. They have videos, they have everything and for those unaware, they put out these excellent teachings from R' Machlis on a weekly basis.

Sponsorships are available at an extremely low rate if anyone wants to donate a week or even two. We, at the Stollel, hope to post the videos on a weekly basis.

Enjoy!

Good Shabbos, Good Shabbos.

Placelessness...

Stollel 2010
is quickly approaching...

With Rabbeinu Yitzchak's having a supposed full two week break there is opportunity for a solid chunk of Stollel activity.

Different people have different schedules this year and as such one should not expect a repeat of last year. Not that it will be worse but it will be different. The main concern as of now is finding a location to house the Stollel.

Different ideas were mentioned in a post-Glueck ma'ariv hock feat. prison-break Raffi but nothing has been officially agreed upon.

Let's think together. Post below.

Main things to keep in mind
(though it could be that we will have to sacrifice some of those things which we had last year):

1) It's good to have a kitchen/room with couches on premises
2) It's good to be based somewhere where people can pop in an out if they can't commit to full days of Stollel activity
3) It's good if this place is not being occupied by anyone but the Stollel

Turning Back the Clocks...

As America turns the clocks back, we at the Stollel also turn the clocks back and revisit the pictures of yester-year...
