I have published a few articles, but am trying to put my thoughts together for a period piece book and I am also slowly putting a cookbook together as well..

    Yossel, Today we had rain, thunder and high winds all day...... Just as it should be for Yom Kippur!
    I hope your fast was easy and you feel a lightness in your soul!

    Yossel,
    Up you pop at every holiday to make it just that much more special.

    Yossel, I am very sorry to hear you are sick; I will put you on the mishabarak list right away. Chag Semeach! I am happy to hear you are well enough to light the candles and celebrate the festival to some extent. Take care of yourself, we need you well.

    Rabbi_Aryel_Nachman says

    Yossel, I, for one, do not believe such things as pimping for money or politics belongs on the bema; especially during services. These are supposed to be times when we are disconnected from the corporal world. But that's just my opinion!

    Do you have power fully restored now?

    Rabbi_Aryel_Nachman says

    Yossel, Please read the prayer I composed for the survivors of Gustav and Ike in the Chassidic Masters and Rebbes group. Please pass it along to others and know that my prayers are with you all in this time.

    If history is any judge, the people of the Houston and Galveston (and surrounding areas) will pull through this and be the stronger for it. How many times have hurricanes and disasters devastated Galveston, yet, the people roll up their sleeves and build it right up again. I saw an interview with a man in Galveston while he was walking through the remains of his home. He just looked around, pushed up his hat, and vary calmly said "Well, we'll just have to rebuild it!" No crying about FEMA or the government, no pleading for charity; just stubborn determination! Ya gotta like that!

    that love is all there is ,
    ia all we know of love
    it is enough , the freight should be
    proportioned to the groove .
    این که جز عشق هیچ نیست
    تنها چیزیست که از عشق می دانیم
    همین کافی ست بار کشتی باید
    به قدر گنجایش آن باشد

    Dreams

    Angels suspended
    in this sink abysmal.

    Enthusiasm
    by Donatella camatta

    After night fell
    the right time
    is not lower
    gaze ever.



    All my anger chewed
    painful
    is out of this nightmare.
    The silences are finished
    my enthusiasm will live! ©

    good days and good work
