yarzeit & anecdote

Well, I guess I could make a Shecheyanu on my first post on this. Wednesday night,we have yarzeit for my grandfather, Aryeh Leib b Meir.

Also on page 9 of the Purim newsletter, the story of cutting out Musaf was based partially on a cousin we had, Cousin Curly, who was making a Bar Mitzvah for his son at one of the Far Rockaway hotels. When going over the format and trying to break down the numbers, Curly was purported to ask that something could be cut out, such as Mincha. (Actually, Aunt Henna wrote that piece). The line about the "Additional service" was culled from the tag line of Louis' old travel agency days.

After watching Curling on the Olympics, do you think they're availible for Pesach cleaning?

  1. mazel tov upon your first post. Since we are all related, you could just say grandpa's yahrtzeit. When is uncle Izzy's, isn't he the same day?

    also, I just mentioned that same Cousin Curly story to someone on Shabbos
