I didn’t post in awhile since in case you haven’t figured out by now, there is no internet access in Brachfeld (or at least the people who do have internet lie about it.) Which means that I usually post from an internet cafe in Jerusalem around Rechov Yaffo and King George- which is coincidentally just […]
Mi shelovesh kippah bli seret, basof yelech liseret bli kippah
Whoever wears a kippah without a seret- brim, will end up going to
a seret- movie without a kippah.
Kishechassidim ketanim hem kol kach chamudim rak rotzim le’echol otam. Kishegodli mtzta’arim shelo achalta otam kishehaya licha sikui.
When chassidish kids are little they’re so cute that you just want […]
Brachfeld is 30 minutes away from the center of Jerusalem. It is the most chareidi city in the entire Israel and it is also the most beautiful one. It seriously feels like you’re living in Utopia. Everyone is young and beautiful with cute little kids.
Brachfel has one center supermarket- shefa shuk- which is only one […]
Judging by the comments I got from my kosher cell phone post, I had a feeling that some of you didn’t believe me. So here’s the proof.
I spent Shabbos at my sister-in-law’s parent’s home. The father was out of town so I ended up sleeping in the study.(I borrowed a long sleeved robe as pajamas out of sensitivity to the sefarim.) Anyways, I woke up at around 5 a.m. and my only reading materials were sifrei kodesh.
sifrei mussar are too scary […]

That’s probably why God felt we needed more reminders and warnings regarding this sin than any other sin in the torah.
I’m not […]
One sure way to figure out the threshold of the quantitative difference between a person’s poor upbringing and their subsequent rich status is by determining just how flashy they act. It almost always works. In L.A. where most of the money is new (I’m talking in a very general sense now) the city is full […]
I was sitting in a bat-mitzvah production- a play with choirs and dances which was done by a whole sixth grade class in lew of having competitive individual parties- when I recognized a face in one of the choirs. I didn’t know the girl personally but I could clearly see a family resemblance and I […]
I write this from a chareidi stand-point:
The social dynamics of Israel are the same exact as L.A. or any other U.S. metropolis, just on a much larger scale. I want to debunk the myth that a person who doesn’t learn in Israel is considered second class and is conspicuously looked down upon. In L.A. there […]
