I want to wish you all a happy and Kosher Passover and leave you with this classic video of v'Hi She'Amda (He Who Stands with us through the generations).
Let's go to the videotape.
Have a wonderful holiday everyone. Since there's only one day in Israel on which it's forbidden to do work, I will be back tomorrow night, God willing.
On Thursday, one of my sons came home and told me that he had bought a used MP-3 from a friend. The friend left a couple of songs on it, and one of them was a song by Aaron Razel that he really liked, and perhaps I had heard it.
Yes, I heard it. I even posted it when it first came out. It's called Ani Kavati et Moshavi Po b'Beit HaMidrash (I set my place here in the study hall). Here it is again.
I went to a Torah class tonight and one of the things the rabbi said was that there is no mitzva to drink on Purim except during the festive meal. Just so you all know...
Aaron Razel with Chaya Inish l'Ibsumei (A person must drink).
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
