9 Av

How to make Tisha B'av more meaningful for next year...

Dreams

"What do you do when you realize that all your dreams have come true?"

- Coyote Ugly

For a long time I have dreamed of running an organization aimed at helping English speaking teens living in Israel. Today I was offered the chance.
So why am I hesitant? Is it because I really want to be a stay at home mom? Or is it more that I'm afraid of failing. Being handed this huge opportunity, with a huge risk of failure, after years of talk that I can do it better.

Just Stop!

I don't know which bothers me more - the chillul Hashem from the overflow of chareidi bashing comments after every stupid protest in Geula/Meah Shearim, or the stupid protesters who bring about chillul Hashem with every move they make.
