I'm back :)
Well my faithful bloggers i have returned to the cyber world... hope everyone's purim holiday was lovely. Interesting that this year Purim fell out on Friday- had me thinking a bit on the auspiciousness of that. Primarily the fact that the miracle was delivered thru a woman- shabbat being the manifestation of G-d's royal feminine divinity. Friday also being 'Yesod', the prisim of G-d's 'foundation' quality- embodied by Joseph, a leader who's identity was hidden until necessary, a Jew (later Mordechai is as glorified as Joseph was) in a strange royal court, Esther being the miracle, being from the tribe of Benjamin, seeds of redemption that were planted by Joseph his brother...etc. (the joys of thinking circularly :)
I enjoyed the creativity and the original costumes so many students came up with (particularly a 5 year old's interpetation of the human hamentash *chuckle*). Purim is not much different than everyday of the year- the presentation of Self in everyday life. The many masks we don in any given circumstance of reality whether it be home, work, or how we look in the mirror. Still, despite this introspective mode :) the holiday was one filled with smiles, revelrie and cotton candy- a tale that remains refreshingly alive and can be easily adapted (as my class's play) into modern culture...
aah yes, then an actual eventful saturday night! I headed north the I-95 to New Haven with good friends and good music. We went to check out the Mattisyahu hype (guy's appeared on Jimmy Kimmel and Last Call with Carson Daley) so yours truly being her curious cat self felt compelled to check it out. small campus crowd, highly interesting chabad venue to say the least. Not the biggest reggae fan (can there even be another Bob Marely- i ask??) still he's definitely got a groove going on. I want to pose a question not a judgement- what do you think of singing 'tzamah lichoh nafshi' to a college audience of which some kids are busy making out (kissing etc.) ?? my friend believes that 'their soul needs to hear it', what do you think??- i am curious to the response of this highly intelligent audience....After this we went to the after-party at Chai and hung out with some Yalees... the night was nice and soft- good to walk out some post-concert adrenaline :) yes, so that was my lovely saturday night (thank you dahlin' Lea). then usual greenwich rush workday (different with train and taxi factor) and publishing of class's Haggadah. (full steam ahead to Pesach :)
now i sit with my books (as i am essentially a nerdish book worm:) came up with an interesting idea for a Dickens comparison project- looking forward to working the words.... long post as its been a long while (feels like a 15 day week), and due to the mad Corrs fiddler that has my juices going. tomorrow Gush Katif film presented by Naomi Solomon check it out it's at the Riverdale Jewish Center (RJC)Tuesday (tomorrow) at 8pm. Her cell is (310) 867-1146.
night y'all- do get some sleep....till Miss Dubone and I establish our nocturnal commune that is :)

The Police asked the woman where the guy was. The woman said she didnt know what guy they were talking about. One of the cops saw the testicles hanging down from a rafter and askt what they were. She said they Chinese temple balls. He belived her. He said he always wanted to hear Chinese temple bells.
He gave them a whack with his billy club, but there was no sound. So he hit them again, a lot harder, a whole lot harder.
Do you know what the guy on the rafter shrieked?
" He shrieked 'TING-A-LING, YOU SON ON A BITCH' "
All persons, living and dead, are purely coincidental.
Hinda-
It was a real pleasure having you on my side of town that night. Please do come again. Then you can see what New Haven looks like in daylight.

oh and in regards to that comment abt Tzama/Matisyahu.. i would like to connect it to the story of chassidus being found in the gutter and the astonishment a chassid had wen seeing this, so he came to the Alter Rebbe (i think it was him) and described what he saw, the Alter Rebbe responded with a mashal of deathly ill son of the king who could only be cured with the most precious stone on the crown of the king...my brain is too fogged to continue but i leave the floor open, its a wonderful story. brings out a great point that pertaints to the subject matter.
update, update, update. (ha, you.)
