dont pass over this

hi to everybody!
as i said that i will try to write here instead of all of you since u are all very very busy in cleaning for pesach, but some unexpected (expected) phone call made me change all my plans, and let me tell you, what u cleaned in a week i had to clean in two days......
huh? what am i talking about?
well well i am actually writing right now from Krakow, Poland, after Finlay i left the behind of the iron curtain (that was cleaned for pesach), two days ago, and let me tell you this is for me a leaving of exile...., well not so much, the Jews in exile they worked, and wen they left they stopped working, by me it is just the opposite, leaving Russia at 5 am landing in Krakow at 1 pm directly to the community, were there is a kitchen to be kasherd, well sounds cool no? well not when that kitchen was NOT cleaned for the past year at least, and i mean that, because first we had to take a peeler and peal off grease. then two ovens to Kasher and five pots, that mans what i just said, so I've worked from 1:30 pm till 3:30 when we were kicked out from the community because they close at that time, and back the next morning from 9:15 am till 3 pm when by then the whole kitchen was cleaned and pots kasherd and ovens blow torched, covered in silver foil, and so on.......
no don't feel bad for me, the issue is that i am already booked for next year pesach.... so if you want your kitchen cleaned and kasherd in that many hours if your lucky to call me now maybe ii'l come in two years, (i am not booked in Argentina for next year!!!!).
why am i taking all the credit???
well chaim shoul glitzenshtein is also here for pesach, and eliezr too takes of the tie and workes so we were three people and 7 and a half hours the kitchen is done. well that is not including the gurarys apartment that also the chometz has to be stored away and kasher their kitchen.... but not for now since after hard work you get to rest i am going to get it now.... so.....
enjoy your passovers
hope you all got the matzos ON TIME excluding two families............

If you didn´t know soem Purim sctick taht happened to us is teh week of purim the gaz liekced now we have no gaz and they are in middle of fixing it which will take a while..hope it gets fixed by Pesach! Now we are hungry or more likely we are missing, the homemade bread, cake, cookies etc. cuz we have no oven, and we cook with gas balloons and some portable fires, like in the olden days or like pple do when they go camping.

My parents left with Nochum to Bs. As. for a couple of days, weddings, and to get some food supplies, my mother came home after a day. My father is coming home with Nochum and Rochele Friday afternoon. The rest of the boys are coming Erev pesach.

Gavriel

No wander no one writes here just me.....

Wow my back is hurting and my hands are rubbing, and I decided its time for a break to see what we accomplished, and as usually the first thing on the list is the kids’ room to clean, and thank the one above and with my kids help (???) I finished 1 rooms out of ??? and, let’s see I still need to do my room phewwww just thinking of that…. And the cabinets and…. And…. And…. (Pause) Now let me tell you just a advice don’t forget under the wash machine and dryer from exprience (in our house we found that out durning Bedikas Chometz!!!) , anyways so (back to write in first person) I decided to check up on the blog to see if somebody or anybody stop cleaning and decided to write something, just to see nothing new, only someone from behind some curtain (the one behind the window? which one? uhu I forgot, we have to clean there too) is constantly writing, writing?? well not exactly but..……. And Shmuly putting up some posts, here there... well.
Anyways let’s see how true this is.
Rochie how’s cleaning by you going? Since last update you gave us it does not seem its going to be that easy no? Well after all you have a pretty small house compared to some of your other siblings no?
Well Rivkie is still lucky this year to get a second year off.

and Mendy just stopping by somtimes to peak in, but writing????
Just to let you guys know by my house is different than all of yours, well since you NEVER came to visit besides Bubby and Zaidy (or tatty and mommy or even Shver and Shviger) Rivky and Estie, I’ll tell you how it goes, we have our house on the bottom floor, and its not that small, a Chabad house on the top floor, and a second house behind our home, so its much more cleaning, a total of three homes to clean.
I am casually writing with time and no hurry, and you guys are reading this with no time and in a hurry, and I am imagining cleaning but I don’t have to, so I will have you in my prayers for an easy cleaning, maybe I could help no? Good idea no? Well first of all give me a call then pay me a ticket (after all I am available for Pesach?? Maybe?), or maybe my way of help is by stopping to write so you could get back to work, or maybe even continue to write so you could get some rest and when you get back to work you would be able to do it with refreshed strength, or you just don’t work because your goy is doing that for you and you are just giving orders, so I don’t know what to do, to continue to write or to stop, if you want me to continue I don’t have what to write, so I guess I’ll stop, or maybe you didn’t even start cleaning for Psach and then this article does not even apply…..

is it spring yet?

As the spring comes along fresh breezes, and cool air slaps into our faces, for some of us its also a time that we get caught in allergies, and therefore we are very careful with what we eat and drink, (and that reminds us of Dr. Kaplan….. it does not mean you have to call him right now….) well here in Russia I feel it pretty much, and the change happened from one day to the other, I could see the ground now, and the air has refreshed itself, not that I had a bad winter actually his winter…. If you are a Russian this year there was only fall, well for me winter was very short this year, if to say I missed one of Russia’s big experience. Cold? Well I had it but for a very short time, the most the temperature went down to was -28, it did not even hit below 30, you would tell me wow that’s pretty cold after all, no? the answer is no, its not cold, I mean it is cold but everything is relative, in other places such as Argentina, if the temperature hits 0, that’s cold and you would even need a coat, and that what I say, my mother would say you need to have 4 undershirts 2 pants 5 socks 2 sweaters and one warm coat as if its snowing, and all that is only to go out to the backyard (and we have a big one) to go out to the street……. I won’t even mention…….
Well I am writing about spring, but who said its over? I mean the winter came late and it could still go on, no? And it happened sometimes that it snowed after Pesach.
Well if that’s you going to say there is no point in me writing in first place.
I was told personally by at least seven people to write here since lately I did not write, and that besides the people that were probably thinking of telling me that and did not….. After all I hold of myself as a big writer, no? Well you made me think that way, no?
And as we are approaching Pesach when the meaning of Matzah is Anavah, and I am doing right now just the opposite, and Matzah comes to teach us to have Bitul, but that’s when that’s what you think of yourself without people telling you that then the holding of yourself means absolutely nothing, but in my case that (ask my mother I don’t think that way) you tell me that its different……
Something to think about.

Gavriels Bar Mitzva

Gavriel Glizentshtein had his bar mitzvah this morning at the Ohel in NY.
Shmuli, and I were honored to be there. Mendele, of course, was delighted to meet his only male cousin his age, Choni Glitz.
Gavriel did a beautiful job saying his Maamer. Thanks to the whole family, we now have a camera and can take pictures ;)
The trick is, to have the computer cord attached to the camera... so pictures will be up next time.

Greenberg from Solon

It's Yossi's Upsherin

@ the Railroad

Well… it has been quite a while since I visited this part of the site (the editing part), the reason is quite simple because I did not have what to write, why, you may ask? The answer to that is also quite simple, because. So you may ask because of what, so I’ll answer because I did not have what to write, so you may ask, and now you have what to write, so I’ll tell you, no, as you could see that till now I did not write nothing, so you may say, yes I did write something, because if I did not write anything you would not have anything to read, so I will explain to you that I did not write nothing with meaning, that means something that you could actually read that has something to it, but after all I am not a lawyer that could talk for hours and not say nothing, so I will at least write something.
Now you may wonder we are coming now from the joyous day of Purim what does that have to do with a train, well who says it does, an especially were does a train land in from, well as you know or maybe you forgot I am in Russia and here to travel you have to travel by train, well you don’t really have to, but if you want you could there is also buses, but if you want to travel normally you do that by train, and I had to do that to go somewhere for Purim, as the Shliach of that city was not there due to technical difficulties, so I went there for Shaboss and Purim, really enjoyed it, well after all this is my first time I left Moscow to go tour Russia, so much of that city I did not go tour because I did not have time, busy with Purim but the Russian trains I visited, and its pretty cool, it’s a small room with four beds (this is second class, 1st class is 2 beds, 2nd 4 beds, 3rd 8 beds and 4th chairs) bunked beds with a tiny table between, and you go to sleep for the night, interesting let me tell you, some Russian travel like that for 5 days in a row or even longer, you want to try that?
Purim was nice how was by you? Well in my city Motzay Shaboss a party for 25 students and Megilah laying, by day there was a community party Megilah for about 200 ppl, pretty nice and now I’m back in Yeshivah back to normal, well unlike you guys I don’t have to clean for Pesach, so I guess there will be lack of coverage in the blog in the near future anyways if I could I’ll see to make up for some of you so…… happy cleaning, and enjoy the spring.
