A few things...

1) Tomorrow Night (Thursday Night) in Rubin Shul
Rosh Chodesh Mar Cheshvan Mesibah

with Rebbe Reichman
featuring Rav Naftali Citron of the Carlebach Shul
(NOTE: Amongst the common folk, the Stollel is known to be made up of a bunch of kabbalists. That is why Rav Citron assumed we would know what he was talking about when he came to talk to the Frollel. Tomorrow nights session will likely be toned down for the common YU folk so don't let your prior experiences scare you off.)

2)
We are looking to make a minyan for Rosh Chodesh on Friday morning. It would begin at 6:20ish with sunrise at 6:50ish. Hallel will take a bit plus kerias hatorah and mussaf .
We will be finished before those who need to go places or to a 9 o'clock class.
PLEASE COMMENT BELOW IF YOU ARE INTERESTED
We want to make sure we have a quaram.

3) How do people tie up their beards? Those people who fold it under and tuck it in, how does it not fall out?

4)
Was just waiting for the elevator when a Sefardi gentleman walked over to put up a sign. I've seen these signs around over the past couple days and they have peeked my interest. They are signs from the YU Hazzanut Club. Their opening event is this Tuesday night at 10:30 PM in the Sefardi Beit (in Morg). I asked him what is going to go down at this event. He said someone will speak briefly and then it will just be guys singing pizmonim. I said that is a great idea. He asked me if I am Sefardi. I said not yet. He said, 'Soon you will realize the emet.' I said, 'I have already realized the emet but I have an prior family tradition.'

I post this for a few reasons. I don't think they're looking for volunteers (though I cant imagine many people will come out for the Hazzanut club) but
1) I think it would be hilarious if a ton of white kids showed up to this event,
2) We can learn Sefardi pizmonim,
and 3) I'm likely to forget about this by Tuesday so if someone could remind that I was interested in attending this on Tuesday I'd appreciate it.

5) I just found out this way to see who makes a link to our blog over here. Never knew about THIS BLOG. Has anybody seen or heard from him?

6) Someone asked me to post this a while ago. I told them we're not an athletic bunch but would post nonetheless:

  9. @zlou: you should see it now...rumor has it that beards are in at kpmg in this country if you wanted to grow yours back
    @haadmor: I was definitely in an excellent place. Chol Hamoed sukkos, Eretz Yisrael, great chicken from from the Humanitarian of the year, and a few hugs from the Levite Shlepper himself.
    @jwein: I miss you a lot. if i had a camera i would send pictures. i will work on it. unless you only want pictures of diller, then i wont work it. I did get a lot of inquiries from the shana bet kids over here on how I survived spirituually in YU. I just told them to ask for the Stollel when they get there. we have some good kids in the farm system here. we'll speak soon BH.
