Last Night with "Sleepy Joe" hit rock bottom!
From BOTH candidates, the lack of coherent answers, coupled with constant interruptions, yelling, put downs, and name-calling was so completely discouraging and disgusting.
Came away feeling like we were at a Mixed Martial Arts tournament rather a Presidential Debate for the United States of America.
What has happened to our great nation?
We are becoming the laughing stock to the entire world.
If we can't conduct ourselves with dignity, courtesy, respect, and integrity towards each other, how can we lead this country, let alone the world?
May G-d help us to find our footing again, to unite around the noble principles and values of freedom, diversity, equality, democracy, capitalism, and human rights for which this country was founded, and change the awful political sinkhole of divisiveness, strife, and sheer indecency that we are caught in. ;-)

I'm surprised they don't make more locks like this with interesting doodads for the base of the lock.
Aside from all sort of faces, you could have places and things.
A lock that looks like Groucho Marx, a Turtle, the Eiffel Tower, or a Heart.
Why not (as long as it keeps things safe)? ;-)

Instead of worrying about accumulating earthly and material treasures: money, houses, cars, exotic travel, and more, we would be well advised to pay attention to our Heavenly treasure that we should be accumulating. Whether tomorrow, when our judgement will be sealed on Yom Kippur or when we, G-d forbid, die and are called for an accounting before our Maker, we should have plenty in the spiritual bank to speak well for us.

Have you been?
They don't even say the words "to Hawaii".
Like Hawaii is just one of those places where you're supposed to read people's minds.
Have you been?
Umm, let me think a moment.
And before you even get a chance to respond further, the other person goes:
Oh, well let me tell you about the time we were in Hawaii and...
Of course, nothing much ever really seems to come after that except something about the wonderful beaches!
Like there aren't nice, exotic beaches anywhere else.
Frankly, it's a little remote anyway, no?
The other thing about Hawaii, of course, is if one of the volcanos starts smoking its angry stack!
Better start playing that little guitar Hula dancer! ;-)

Have You Been?
And I got two BIG eyes!
I see you and you're all very cute people.
It's Friday, and I want to wish you all a Shabbat Shalom!
May you have a restful and peaceful Shabbat.
And as we head into Yom Kippur on Monday, may we all be sealed in the Book of Life for a great year ahead for 5781!

Shabbat Shalom Cute People!
Subtle but not.
What does it take to pimp a ride?
Red accents are a start.
You still need some real fancy tires.
And don't forget the premium upgrade package!
Otherwise, the ride is just a ride. ;-)

For two thousand years, the Jewish people exiled from their land, widely dispersed, and inhumanly persecuted among the nations developed passivity and learned helplessness. They eagerly awaited, year after year, G-d’s salvation and redemption. As a tiny minority attempting to hold firm to their religious beliefs amongst the world’s powerful majorities, the Jews found themselves a convenient scapegoat, suffering landlessness and joblessness, taxation to the point of near-starvation, conscription of their Jewish children for military service of 25-years, forced conversion on pain of torture and death, horrible violent pogroms that sparred no one, and expulsions from country after country. During these times, the Jewish people learned passivity in the hope of not inflaming the hate and anger of the goyim that would make things “even worse!”

As we approach Rosh Hashanah, we know that everything is in the hands of G-d, including life and death, but there is no question that President Trump has been an instrument of the Almighty in delivering genuine and consistent support—recognition, annexation, aid, sanctioning our enemies, fighting BDS, anti-Semitism, and biased resolutions, and the advancement of peace—to Israel and for the Jewish people.
Thank You President Trump For Supporting Israel

It was a fun time at The Amish Experience today in Lancaster Country, Pennsylvania.
One and a half hour bus tour of Amish country.
45 Minute movie about Jacob, an Amish teen, trying to decide whether he wants to be in the outside world or in the Amish one.
And another hour of so tour of an Amish school house and home.
Felt like I learned a lot about their culture (including no TV, internet, electricity [just batteries and solar], and education only through 8th grade).
Honestly, it doesn't seem like they really have much a choice in whether to choose the church and become Amish or leave, because if they choose to leave they are shunned (i.e. excommunicated)!
So you either choose you family, church, community, and a wife (and there is no divorce) or you run off to G-d knows where completely alone and "divorced" from everything you know.
The video is when we stopped at an Amish farm and I went in to the big barn with all the cows.
After so much time on the bus, I needed to ham it up a little and have fun with:
"How now brown cow. It is so nice to eat you! You are beautiful animals. And thank you Hashem for making you!" ;-)

Every little thing that Hashem provides for us is truly a big deal. It’s so easy to become complacent, arrogant, and overconfident in all that we have today. But if we just remember that without every little thing we have, we could be in some big, big trouble tomorrow.

Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
[Jacob says] And in all that you give me I will give a full tenth to you.
A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the L-rd, it is holy to the L-rd.
For those that are miserly and not charitable and don't tithe, G-d reverses the equation, and He takes back the 90% and lets you keep the 10%.
