בר יוחאי נמשחת אשריך

Shalom Friends!

With the help of Heaven I will be heading North this Motzei Shabbat Kodesh to take part of a Jewish gathering in Meiron. It's times like this when our list (to the left) "BiShem Stoll Yisrael" will be helpful and I will hopefully pray for one and all. I hope you will pray for me too. If anyone has specific names of those in need of tefillos please comment below and I will attempt to create certain kabbalistic intentions in their merit. If one feels, for some reason, uncomfortable posting in a public forum but wants to do send an email (jweinberg55@gmail) I'll hopefully check before Shabbat.

Enjoy Swan Lake!

Shabbos at the Luzzatto's in Swan Lake...

This Shabbat, Parshat Emor, there will be a gathering at the Luzzatto's residence in the Swan Lake in honor of the great day of Shabbat and in honor of the great day of Lag LiOmer.

If someone could make a spreadsheet on Google Docs and post it in the comments section so that people can note if they plan on attending this grand event and what they can bring, that would be excellent.

Ruining Zev's Lag Bi'Omer Plans and other Happenings...

It's true. I'm heading east. With the help of heaven I will be heading to Zion this Wednesday to join the ranks of some of the great leaders of the nation of Israel, amongst them the dedicated, the loyal, and of course, the holiest of the holiest (00:20), as I attempt to be a madrich at a fine Torah institution.

I hope to join up with the entire Stollel come June 17th time in Jerusalem (if not earlier.) The blog will continue until then. Stollel-America events will continue to be posted. Perhaps a post or two about happenings in the Holy Land as we head towards other Israeli events: Yom Yerushalayim, Lag BiOmer by R' Shimon, Shavuos, AP HaLevi's wedding, and then on to NCSY Stollel Round 2.

This reminds me:

HaRav Reuven Boshnack has invited the Stollel to spend this Shabbos with him, his family, and some other in Brooklyn. Shabbos activities include fun, fun, and more fun. They have Shabbosim every few weeks where they like to bring a chevra together. I know a few people me told me they were busy this Shabbos, but for those who are interested let me know and I can give you more info.

Also, this Tuesday: Multiple Yom Ha'Atzmaut concerts to attend. Catch some Stollel members performing at the Y.U. festival but the better show will likely be at T.A.B.C. in Teaneck, where Tzavei, the gangsters for life, are set to play their final North American show.

That's all for now. We'll check in from the other side.

And We're Back...

STOLLEL WINS FIRST EVER

STOLLEL

v.s.

PROJECT RECHARGE

SOFTBALL GAME
~

In a real nail-biter, Stollel ousted the Project Recharge 15-14 this Friday in the first ever Stollel v.s. Recharge softball game, a game which will likely become a yearly tradition for the two camps.

.

"It was a great game. They really tried their best, and hey, they almost had us," said Stollel captain, Shneur Zalman Baran, who hit a grandslam in the games final inning to clinch the Stollel victory.

.

Team Manager and left-fielder, Sruli Rapps, was seen after the game signing autographs for the local children who came out to watch the game and steal keys. "I like dem sidelocks," said Tanifa Baker, a local fan of Rapps from P.S. 165.

.

We caught up with Justin "Thriller" Diller, the Stollel MVP, after the game for a few words. "Listen. They're still young and plus, we had Sohn," said Diller about the Friday event. "They put up a good fight and who knows, maybe next year they'll come out on top. The important part is that everybody had a good time."

.

And a good time they did have.
