    My Fellow Yidden:
    I was waiting on “Shpilkers” for the videos [speakers] to come on-air so I could see & hear words of praises on Rav Yossie Tevel O.B.M. I laughed , cried and kveled on the speeches.
    I remembered how Friday nights Rabbi Yossie & Rebbitizen Rifka Tevel conducted a Tisch, that first started at Midnight. The food and zmiros and joy was eventful. How Yossie’s o.b.m. uncle would get up several times during the early AM hours to use the restroom. We would sing French marching songs or the French national anthem. The Uncle would give us a look and we would all have a hearty laugh, Oy what a gitter gershmacher laugh.
    I remember on Purim I would come over with a white Strimel, a chassidersher tish bekersher and Harry Potter eyeglasses. With either a live white rabbit who had red eyes or a puppy or mid size
    dog with curly white hair [a bischon frise / poodle]. You’d be surprised how many Jewish people are afraid of live animals.
    Its true how Mrs. Baseball/Yankees [Mrs. Levertov] saids, “Its easy to do a simple mitzvah; but when its difficult to accomplish or large sums of money to come up with.”
    Oy do I miss you and pray only joy and great things for the Tevel family. Er Macht ah Tummel in Shmayim and tzuzahmin mit der Rebbe un onderah neshomers [chassidim/MALACHIM that were nifter in the last few years]vet bringen der Geulah un MOISHIACH [NOT SOON BUT NOW].
