by Getzy Markowitz - Opinion of the Masses

Shluchim registering for the Kinus. {Inset: Getzy Markowitz)

A friend of mine raised the irony of my standing along a column of rabbis who were waiting to register themselves for this year's International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries. His sarcasm was not so much directed at my not being a celebrated shliach, as much as at my usual frill of skipping queues as a frequent flyer elite.

However, standing among rabbis and leaders who are my heroes, and champions of the Jewish people, meant lingering in the midst of the elite enlisted.

A First in Crown Heights, a Mishmor, ULY in OT

CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — This past Thursday night about 50 boys of the Lubavitcher Yeshiva’s 7th and 8th grades packed the zal of Oholei Torah for the first night of an inter-Yeshiva Mishmor learning program. Each boy was carefully matched up with a zal bocher, with whom he learned a sicha of the Rebbe. Followed by a wild Jewperdy game to which one team managed to pull ahead despite the very close game.

By Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Jax, Fl.
Congratulating a friend whose son and daughter had gotten married within a month of each other, a woman asked, “So tell me, what kind of man did your daughter marry?”

“Oh, he’s wonderful,” gushed the mother. “He lets her sleep in, wants her to go to a spa regularly and insists on taking her out to dinner every night.”

“That’s nice,” said her friend.

“And how do you like your son’s new wife?”

The mother sighed. “I’m not so happy about that situation,” she said. “His wife gets up late, spends all her time at the salon and always wants to have dinner in a restaurant.”
