Oh So True

A young man was walking the streets of Paris . Suddenly he saw a rottweiler attacking a young girl. He jumped on the dog, struggled with him and strangled it. Both he and the girl escaped with minor scratches.

Immediately excited journalists surrounded him and said: What is your name? All Paris will hear of you, and the headlines will be: "A Parisian hero saved a little girl from a savage dog".

Said the man: I am not Parisian.

The jurnalists: O.K, so all France will hear of you and the headlines will be :"A French hero saved a little girl from a savage dog".

The man: But I am not French.

Journalists: OK, so all Europe will hear of you and the headlines will read: "A European hero saved a little girl from a savage dog".

The man: But I am not from Europe.

Journalists: So where are you from?

The man: I am from Israel.

Journalists: OK, so all the world will hear of you and the headline in all tomorrow's papers will read: "Israeli killed a little girl's dog."


Did you remember to give some tzedakah and say a small prayer for Israel today?
You can and should make a difference

Merkos Shlichus

Every summer hundreds of young Rabbi's -the very best of Chabad- travel all over the world, searching the deepest darkest crevices, hoping to seek out and reignite another Jews heart.
I love it!

I'm looking for Merkos Shlichus blogs, if you know of any, post them.
I found one, check it out .

Where have all the blogs gone?

I left my laptop at home when I left and didn't get to do much web surfing while I was away. I was looking forward to checking out all my favorite blogs when I came back, but it seems like a lot of my fellow bloggers have signed off.
What is going on?
Have I missed something?
Was there a blog virus going around that I'm not aware of?
The shame is, that most of them didn't just stop blogging, but took their entire blogs of the web, not allowing me to even see the reason for their public departures.
Anyways, to all the bloggers who have gone missing, I hope you still do some surfing every once in a while and maybe you'll read this.

Wishing you the best in all!

I'm back

My trip is over.
I got back home yesterday morning.
Thank the good Lord, it was one of my best trips to the holy land.
I decided against posting updates on the blog, because I feel that at times people become to engrossed with their blogs, that they actually lose appreciation of the reality around them. Everything becomes over analyzed and looked at in a way of 'wow, that is beautiful, how inspirational, I can't wait to share', and the actual inspiration can become lost in the process of giving it over.
But not to worry, I did do a lot of writing in my notebook and I plan on posting some of the articles up in the near future, describing different parts and times of the trip.
California here we come!
