The visitng Grandpa
Hello everybody. I have not sighned on to the blog in a really long time ( shame on me). Things have really been hectic here. my pops came to visit us, although I think he really came exclusively for his favorite grandson Getzy. we really had a great time Getzy was on seventh heaven when his Zeidy came to pick him up from school. All the grownups went out to dinner on Monday night. we were well entertained by hindy who seemed to be a bit overtired. other then that Baby Hindy is just getting over her Bronchitis and we are just recuperating from all the Chanuka partying. Hope you all have a wonderful Shabbat. So long. Rochel Leah
P.S. here is an uploaded picture of Baby Hindy

Chanukah Wars
Click On Me After you read the Article.
From 'The Jewish Week'.....
Jeremy Dauber, a young professor of Yiddish at Columbia University, received a somewhat unusual e-mail request one day last week from a writer at “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart’s popular Comedy Central “news” program.The question: what’s a Yiddish phrase one would use to wish a friend a Happy Chanukah, preferably a long and complicated set of words?Dauber responded with “a lichtegeh and freilichin Chanukah,” meaning “a bright and joyous Chanukah.”The writer thanked him and suggested Dauber watch the end of the program that night, when Stewart segues into “The Colbert Report” by chatting briefly with host Stephen Colbert.Sure enough, on the program a stern-faced Colbert said he wanted to address “the Chanukah wars,” spoofing “the Christmas wars” waged by conservative TV personalities who insist that political correctness is preventing people from wishing each other a Merry Christmas in public during this holiday season.Colbert said he wanted to acknowledge the war led by Judah Maccabee against Antiochus in 160 BCE. “That’s what Chanukah means to me,” he said, adding: “And when I hear Wal-Mart greeters wishing me a Happy Holiday instead of a lichtegeh and freilichin Chanukah, it makes me so angry.”As he and Stewart burst into laughter, along with the audience, Colbert repeated the Yiddish phrase for good measure, noting: “Is that so hard?”Said Stewart: “It puts a smile on my pupik.”And no doubt on Dauber’s as well, always happy to spread the message that Yiddish is alive and well.

Merry ChristmaKwanzaaKah to all!
Hey Everyone!
How were the the Holidays? I will share my holiday experience: My first half of Chanukkah I was in school half day then enjoying all the family gatherings at 5500 in Boro Park then Teusday night the 5th nite of the Holiday I went to the Colel Chabad dinner I had a great time, I even brought along two of my "supporters" , my two frinds from school! ;-) I then took a ride with them back to their house in Monsey cause we were gonna go on our Hanukkah Vacation Trip which broght us to Postville ,Iowa after 18+ grueling hours of driving we even lirt the Menorah on the way in the car! they were afraid to light in the rest area cause its suspicious terrorist activity we arrived at "home" at 4:00 am so I put them up in Rubashkins Kretchmeh the next day we had Breakfast in the "Postville Castle" HmmmmmHmmm the food was delicious
My Mother asked the boys do you want Meat or Dairy for supper? what an odd question in Iowa we then went to watch the kosher slaughter process
Supper is Served: 12 oz. Club Steak ;-)
Friday: It was really cool we went skeet shooting we used the shotgun that we transported from Monsey

Memories...
I met Rebbetzin Jungreis over the weekend. I told het that as a kid I remember her coming to South Africa. She replied, yes, Archie Peck used to enjoy bringing her out. Huh? He must have had a crush on her - for I don't recall him sharing similar Torah values to the Rebbetzin. She also remembered Zeide fondly. BTW, for those of you hitting middle age and beyond, she uses a great Plastic Surgeon. Details available upon request.
If a tree falls in the forest...
(SKF writing on Esti's page)
If Levi Yitzchok Gourarie (Sydney) visits Ottawa but doesn't see Parliament or any of the other world-class attractions for which the Nation's Capital (Canada) is famous...does it count as a true visit?
We think not! And therefore insist that he make a (many) return visit in the near future!
Yes, in addition to welcoming her son home for Zois Chanuka, Esti Gourarie (Ottawa)had the singular zechus of entertaining and hosting her nephew - who she had not seen for almost eleven years!
The trip was a huge success. Levi managed to catch up on some sleep - too bad it was while SKF was sharing a Torah thought at the Shabbos table; kept his Chitas schedule - in between rounds of Monopoly - wherein he demonstrated his keen Gourarie business skill...NOT - must come from the Zwiebel gene pool, because he consistently was bankrupt by the end of the game.
At least he could enjoy the wonderful winter sports in Ottawa...Alas, again NOT. For the first time in recorded history, Ottawa did not enjoy a White chogo. It is unseasonably warm and Levikel, the ever ready boy scout (their motto is "be prepared") was even prepared with galoshen...which stood quietly in the corner throughout the trip. In fact, they are still there because in his puzzling rush to escape the tranquility of our Beis Chabad, he left them behind...Just one more thing for me to shlep to Toronto next week.
On the other hand...he ate all his vegetables (okay, we are counting ketchup as a vegetable as well as latkes), went to mikveh each morning and learned two bonus Sichos with his cousin, just because!
A beautiful, gentle and cheinifdike bochur regarding whom his parents are justifiably proud. We are grateful to him for visiting and making our Chanuka even brighter than it already was.
The only one who was not especially enthusiastic about his visit, was Rabbi Bulka. For some reason he has developed a certain wariness about family members and when he heard that Moishele's cousin was coming, memories of Hirshel flashed before his eyes and he cowered in the corner, fearing another encounter with a "Keser zealot"... You will have to ask Hirshel for details.
Anyways, it is time to tidy up and do some work. A good day to all...please offer your feedback...positive reinforcement always prompts more posts.

A classic....I think
It was an unusually difficult bathtime process , with an unwilling Yehudah. When I finally took him out, he was really angry and shouted " I NEVER WANNA SEE YOU AGAIN FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!!". Calmly (proud to say), I answered " Why don't we start with tonight? After we get into pajamas, don't call me or come to me, OK?" Still yelling, Yehudah answers,"FINE, BUT I WANNA START AFTER MY BEDTIME STORY!!!"

Competing with Yourself
A look at the meaning of success.
One of the most significant sources of stress is ‘approval seeking behaviour’. Some of us invest an amazing amount of time and effort impressing others, gaining their approval and avoiding their criticism. How many times a day do we think about what others will think or say about us? The result of this type of behaviour is a life of pressure, where instead of doing good for its own sake, we strive to impress, compete and outdo others building a reputation as good, effective and successful human beings.
It is natural to want to be complimented and to dislike criticism. Ambition, stemming from a healthy level of competition can also be constructive and beneficial. However, when people become dependant on - and almost addicted to - the approval of others, then it is unhealthy and destructive.
Perhaps the source of this unhealthy dependency is the definition of success in our modern society. In today’s world, success is defined by two very external factors. The first is outcome as opposed to effort. If you have invested tremendous effort but not achieved a visible, measurable dramatic outcome you are deemed a failure not a success. The second is progress relative to others. Sadly, achievement is only properly recognised when it is better than someone else’s.
In the last two weeks students around Australia concluded their school year. This week the results for the HSC (High School Certificate) were released. At various prize giving functions, students were awarded for coming top in their subject. At Parliament house students who topped the state in various subjects were honoured in a grand ceremony.
The achievement of these students is certainly amazing and deserving of recognition. But I am always bothered by the absurdity of this system. We send our youth a message that their success is defined by the achievement of others, and not by their intrinsic effort and commitment. In one year of High School the student who scores 93% is awarded for coming top. But in the next year the student who scored 95% is not recognised because someone else scored 97%. Some schools have introduced awards for the “most improved”. But again the message is a distorted one - you cannot be acknowledged for improving unless you improved more than others.
The Jewish definition of success is very different. Firstly, it is not defined by any outcome but rather by effort, hard work and internal improvement and progress. Our tradition states clearly that reward for Torah study is not for those who cover the most material, but rather for those who apply themselves with sweat and toil. Secondly, it is not measured or defined in relation to the success of others. Success is not a competition with others but with oneself. In the Torah context true success is to beat your comfort level – to do a little more than you are used to. True success is about growth relative to yourself- to do better today than yesterday and to improve next week more than this week.
It is possible that the student who scored 85% did so with great effort and hard work. This student might be far more successful than the student who scored 97% primarily because of a G-d given talent. I am not suggesting that we should not strive for excellence and that great results should not be recognized. I am suggesting, however, that we create a culture where people learn to compete with themselves rather than with everyone else, and we find a way of recognizing the true achievers.
So to all those students who worked really hard this year, extending yourself and doing even a littler better than last year: Even though you might not have made it to the top and weren’t called to the stage at prize giving, you are the real heroes of success. Keep it up and Mazel Tov!
Wishing you a Good Shabbos

Fire Alert
Dear Family and Friends: Sh'
Once again this is Shimon invading Esti's blog space because he still can't figure out Avremi's instructions (ok...I didn't actually have the time to try). In any event, that is not the point!
A number of reports suggest that at least one version of the pre-filled glass oil bulbs used for Chanuka licht are defective. Apparently, the glass and/or the metal support for the wick get so hot they melt and spontaneously explode or combust causing a spreading fire c'v', l'a'.
If you are of the post-modern type (i.e., lazy) and eschew measuring out the oil and rolling your own wicks the old fashioned way, I urge you to exercise caution and do not leave the menorah unattended. The attached link is a collection of photos that capture the meltdown. http://s133.photobucket.com/albums/q75/Menorah_fire
A lichtig (in the right sense) Chanuka to you all.
PS for Avremi G.: Avremi, please explain it to me one more time, but email it to my regular address...I think the problem is I don't remember my password...

Chanukah Candles and Bushfires
At one time or another we all experience exciting and meaningful events. These are great moments of inspiration and motivation. But often they come and go with little or no effect. How do we absorb these moments, to ensure that they should have a lasting and positive effect?
Tonight the festival of Chanukah begins. Each evening we will kindle the Chanukah candles, adding one flame each day. The flames of the Menorah represent warmth, enthusiasm and passion. But fire is not always positive. This week bushfires are raging throughout Australia causing gross inconvenience, destruction and devastation.
The difference between the two fires can be understood from the biblical story that we will read from the Torah next week. Pharaoh has two dreams. In his first dream seven fat, healthy cows are eaten by seven ugly, thin cows. The dream is then repeated but this time, with ears of corn.
When describing the dream with the cows Pharaoh exclaims: “They came inside them, but it was not apparent that they had come inside them, for their appearance remained as inferior as at first.” What can we learn from the fact that the fat cows had no affect on the thin cows even after they were eaten by them?
The answer lies in the terminology used in the second dream. “Then the thin ears of corn swallowed up the seven good ears…” There are two forms of eating - chewing and swallowing whole. When we break up our food into small pieces through chewing, the surface exposure of the food to body enzymes are increased and the digestion process is that much more effective.
For a special moment to be effective it must be chewed not swallowed. We must take time to reflect on its significance, process its meaning and learn from each detail. In this way we can bond with the experience, grow from it and fully connect with its deeper meaning. If we ‘swallow’ these events whole, they will create huge excitement for a few moments but then disappear leaving us with a sense of emptiness.
A huge bushfire is devastation. A small but meaningful flame added each day is a mitzvah.

Joke of the Day
Most of you know that I have joined Toastmasters International. It is a load of fun and this week as a rookie I volunteered to do the word and joke of the day.(I have already made a toast, been a grammarian and Jan. 9 I give my icebreaker-speech....I think I might be competing with Yossi and his Norwegian choir....incidently HOW IS THAT GOING???? Inquiring minds want to know....are we stilll singing???) What I did not know was that finding an appropriate joke was quite the challenge. Thanks goes to all of you out there who listened to my ganse collection and offered some of your own cherished ones.....most obliging of you!! For those of you who are curious to know which joke got a laugh, here it is!! Sorry I don't know how to make the font smaller. Enjoy!
Esti
P.S. The word I chose was indelible. May we all have a wonderful indelible lichtike Chanuka this year!

I'm Back
Hello Everyone!
I had a great weekend! Thursday I followed my sceduale and went to play raquetball (michoeli- Dictinary.com should help) with "Uncle Avremi" but this time it was special, we went with "Cousin Levi"! we played a three layer game it was great.
The best moment of the night was when I was tired, and "Uncle Avremi" was also tired, the Score was Avremi:5 Moshe: 13! then 14,then 15 ;-) I won! I won! (Avremi was dreading every minute of it)
That night I slept over at The Gourarie house and woke up bright and early to continue my adventures. Avremi had a rehearsal to attend and he was kind enough to take me along Thank you! I had a great time the music sounded GR8.
I cant wait until next time!

Shabbos on campus
hello I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We spent with the Chein family at Brandeis University. It was a very inspiring Shabbos. They had about 120 students over for the night meal and they all seem to love and look up to Peretz and his wife Chanie. Their son was Getzys age and also woke up at the unG-dly hour of 6 , the two really hit it off. On Sunday we took Getzy and Baby Hindy to the Childrens Museum in Boston, it was amazing. Well back to the grind, have a great week. The Rubashkins
