How come I didn’t see dancing Rabbi or podcasting Rabbi?
yay lay! u finally posted. it’s nice to see so many faces of Rabbi Yo– when is he gonna come and visit us in the Holy Land? Hope you had a great shabbos wherever you are…
Woo-hoo! I’m famous!! Imagine, to have the back of your kipah-bedecked head being shown to a bazillion Jews around the world!! Akh, such nakhes…
I was one of the people lifting R. Yo, but my kipah pin is in the wrong place. And it looks like there’s some backpack on me… but that does look like my sweater! CK, is that really your back of the head? If so, can I work as your back-of-the-head stunt double? You know, for when you need to be filmed getting slapped upside the head?
i would like to see this happen, the big reunion
the big banquet, make all in action to teach and
finding balance and peace , in all aspect ove life. Having god close, to show me his way and miracle, cause i do believe i need one.
Near or far.
