There is a story told with the Rebbe. A Bochur (or his principal) once came in to the Rebbe and told the Rebbe that this Bochur did the whole Bava Basra Bal Peh, when the Rebbe heard this he stood up and with great joy said "Gants Bava Basra"! Well I would like to inform you that me and Mendel Kraz are 2 of 6 Bochurim doing "Gants Bava Basra"! We're holding 120 Blat Bal Peh and have 50 to go. We hope and we're sure that we're giving our parents, grandparents, family and of course the Rebbe, great Nachas. Good Shabbos!
Well this Shabbos, everyone will be spending in Crown Heights for the Shloishim.
That is everyone but my family, you see unfortunately since like two months ago, my family was planning on going to Manhattan this exact Shabbos for a Bar Mitzva of a kid my father tutors and there was already reservations and all before anyone knew anything about the plans for this Shabbos.
Therefore due to these circumstances we will be unable to attend the Shloishim. But we will be there with everyone at heart and we will Iy"h celebrate the Shloishim our own way up at the Chabad House.
So everyone will be staying at our house for Shabbos, how exciting! Whoever is sleeping in my room, you have a tremendous Zechus and responsibility.
Yesterday I went to visit Luba Alte Taibel and the whole family, they have a live-in nurse staying there to help out with the baby, Luba is Bli Ayin Hora very very cute and she's Boruch Hashem doing very good!
Good Shabbos to y'all!
P.S. My sister Mushka will be staying in Crown Heights with you guys for Shabbos, take care of her, I'm sure it'll be hard for her without me around!
Well this Shabbos my family is having the opportunity to host Chanie, Levi, Mushka and Leeba Stone.
There's a lot of snow on the ground here in Crown Heights and now it's raining which is turning all the snow into slush.
It's been a pleasure, Have a good one!
GOOD SHABBOS TO ALL!
Mendele & Mendele, since we missed you so much at Rashi's and Bentzy's wedding, we'll have to make it up to you at Devorele's and YaYa's, we'll give you twice as much sushi, roast ducklings and the most delectable desserts. And best of all, you will Im Yirtze Hashem dance with the newest member of our family, Taibele Shetichye. Love you and longing to kiss and hug you (I'll do it privately so as not to embarrass you).
So Postville is not on the map that doesn't mean that me and Mendel Kraz are also not on the map we are still part of this amazing Jacobson family and miss everybody very much. Well hi everyone me and Mendel we're real sorry we did not make it for the wedding like Levik said someone got to learn I guess that lucky someone is us but I hope ill make it for Devoreh'les wedding so guys family cousins aunts uncles make those phone calls call my principal and you tell him. I am just kidding ok good Shabbos everybody and I hope ill see ya soon.
This morning at kriyas haTorah Yosef Yitzchak and Esti's new baby girl was named Leuba Alte Teibel. May she grow up healthy and strong and live up to the legacy of her namesake, l'Torah l'Chupah ul'maasim tovim.
Please say tehillim for her: Leuba Alte Teibel bas Esther Avigail.
I have made a correction to the english date of the Chasunah that I posted before.
The right date is April 2nd. (NOT the 4th).
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Okay, the date was set. The Chasunah will be none other than, Wednesday the 26th of Adar 2 (April 2), in the Razag Ballroom!
Yay, It's very exciting. I can't wait to dance the night away.
P.S. I put up a countdown to the wedding but it's not as nice as the one I had up for Rashi and Bentzy's Wedding, that is because the site I used last time is currently not doing a good job and it won't work properly. So this one is all I found, it's half decent!
Zei Gezunt, and see you all at the Sheva Brochos tonight IYH!
Mazal Tov! Mazal Tov to Yosef Yitzchok and Esti and the whole family on the birth of their first daughter this morning, (I think around 5:30 am), 7th of Adar 1 (February 13).
Today is also the birthday and Yartzeit of Moshe Rabeinu. "How special"!
May Esti and the Baby be in the best of health, and may the baby grow up giving a lot of Nachas to her parents and the Rebbe.
I don't know about the rest of you but I think I got a clue as to what her name will be, heh? (sssshhhh)
It was just amazing, I had a real good time at the wedding, danced the night away.
Starting from the Kabbalas Panim, I was already saying Le'chaim and I had a lot of sushi.
The Chupah was really cold but it was really warm inside, if you know what I'm saying.
Then went the first dance, I was totally loving it. Everyone was extremely Lebedik and very excited.
The food was terrific, though I preferred to stick with the cocktails and drinks, hehe.
Then went a second dance with even more people than the first one, a lot of Bochurim from Oholei Torah Zal came by, as they usually do, to get a little drink and dance a bit.
Avraham fried sang a little, then went the rising star Benny Friedman, he was good.
After that went a special feature performance with Peter Himmelman on the guitar, Mendel Jacobson on the Mic. Shaya Lieberman on the Bass and Eli Marcus on the drums, it was real cool, nice jam by the musicians and rap by Mendel and Peter.
We danced some more, and then came Sheva Brochos, the Chasunah came to an end, as do all good things, we said goodbye, wished everyone for the best and Im Yirtzeh Hashem we'll all be doing this again at Devorah and Ya Ya's wedding Habaah Aleinu Letoivah, and hopefully Zeidy and Bubbe Lipskier and everyone else will be back again with us, a long time before then.
I would like to mention that there were two members of the club that couldn't make it to the wedding due to their responsibility of keeping up this world with the learning of
Torah Bayom Ubalailah, Ki Heim Chayeinu Veoirech Yameinu, and they are Mendel Krasniansky and Mendel Jacobson my brother, they are learning in Postville and could not make it tonight, but I did make sure that they were both updated on what was going on at the wedding every ten minutes, and they said Lechaim and did their own dance, they were with us all along.
Okay, thats it for now, I'm surprised that I was able to write this much in the state that I am right now after this wonderful wedding, and if there is anything out of place in this article, you can blame on the bar. hehe.
Have a good one everybody, Zei Gezunt! Zeitz Matzliach Breing Moshiach, Yevorechecha!
It's happening here at 644.
The dining room has been turned into a beauty shop, the kitchen -- a hair salon.
The men feel all left out, but we'll be getting the blessings under the chupa...
Rashi is beyond stunning. Her mother is a close second, looks like her sister...
And bubby, well she looks like a young 37 yr old.
Wanted to give you a behind the scenes taste of the hachonos.
The excitement mounts.
We expect you 4:30PM sharp - NOT Jacobson time.
