pittsfield-jew

The first post says it all Shalom, This is the home of the Pittsfield Jew. Sure its neat to read about Jews in Brooklyn who are very observant but how about a not so observant Jew who lives in the Mid West?

cleaning

Today Jonny was cleaning the bathroom of the Hilton Hotel. He looked in the mirror and decided it was time to get out the Gleam. He had just finished shaving.

Earlier it was snowing. It didn't take long for the first sirens to go off this morning. Jonny was walking Lucy. The sidewalks were icy and the ice was covered by snow. If he forgot where the frozen puddles were then he might slip.

Last night he and Angelina were unable to watch TV. None of the shows were recorded. Two nights ago they watched the last Cold Case episode. Over the weekend they watched the other Cold Case episode. They also so Without A Trace. Criminal Minds is a repeat tonight. They have the DVR set for Sunday and Monday night for more old runs of Without A Trace.

This week's parsha was Tezaveh. Jonny listened to the RG version two days in a row. The scholars say this is the first parsha without Moshe. This happens because Moshe says take me out of your book. What happened was that G-d was upset with the Israelites because of the incident with the Golden Calf. Moshe said if you will punish them then I don't want to be a part of your Torah. Since Moshe was only a little bit joking about that, this parsha is the pay back for that empty gesture. It is like ok here is what it feels like to not be a part of the Torah. Moshe's name is mentioned in every single section of the Torah from Moshe's birth to his death.

Jonny is up to page 258 of The Hunting Wind. Last night while helping Angelina with preparation for her class she is teaching, he was playing with his candle. He is still trying to recycle that last little bit of red spicy ?flavor? A candle has a scent not a flavor but that is how it goes.
