To make sure #ShidduchReferences are being truly honest, I call references on references; and then I call references on those references...All before deciding on the shaychus of a #stamFirstDate or a #PseudoDate over @Zoom !!

In the wake of Hamas' murderous attacks on Israelis, including civilian men, women and children, which have left over 700 dead, thousands injured, and entire families taken hostage, Agudath Israel of America joins fellow Jews and civilized people everywhere in outrage and in mourning the carnage.   That this attack was carried out on the holy day of Simchas Torah, a day of celebration of the Torah, only increases our pain.  We are heartened by the words of condemnation of Hamas’ actions from governmental, civil, and religious leaders in the U.S. and worldwide.  And we stand in support of the people of Israel as they face the country’s deepest tragedy in over fifty years.  Agudath Israel is actively monitoring the situation with our contacts in Israel and will be directing our constituents in how best to aid our brothers and sisters in Israel in the coming days. We call upon our brethren across the globe to intensify our tefillos on behalf of the hostages and those injured, to support the victims and their families in whatever ways possible, and to beseech Hashem that peace be restored to the region: oseh shalom b’mromav, hu ya’aseh shalom aleinu, v’al kol Yisroel, v’imru amein.  May Hashem send healing to the injured and comfort to the families of the slain.

Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students are lining up for blood donations in the city of Modiin Elit to help the more than 2000 injured Israelis h/t @DocumentIsrael #DestroyHamas #Israel_under_attack #AmYisraelChai

“Whenever there is a catastrophe, always look for the helpers. There will always be helpers” So many people have been murdered and wounded. Every kind of Jew is lining up in Sanhedira Murchevet to donate blood. We are broken. We are together.

Just in case it rains on #YomKippur, I have a special all-white #Shynecoat and a pair of leather-free all-white rain boots. Spent a lot of money of them, despite being worn only once every few years.
