What Am I Here For Anyway?: April 2008

What Am I Here For Anyway? Tuesday, April 15, 2008. Recently, I have just started to use ebay to get rid of all stuff I do not need. You see I have all this stuff that is just taking up room in the flat, and it is too expensive and precious to just chuck into the landfill. I realize that ebay is a perfect proof that 'one guy's trash is another guy's treasure'. Things that I thought were not very valuable turned out to be far more valuable than I thought! So it's exciting to see how the bids turned out, Y...

What Am I Here For Anyway?: After Tisha b'Av
http://rsolomon.blogspot.com/2010/07/after-tisha-bav.html
What Am I Here For Anyway? Wednesday, July 21, 2010. Ah, it's the day after Tisha b'Av. My break-fast last night got rid of my throbbing headache, and I started to feel more like a human being again. People darting around, cars cutting corners, speedy dashes to the exit, Jews blocking my way with their carts, while their little kinderlach dart hither and thither? Yeah, have to quieten that Nazi inside me that says "Those silly people, dont they know how to shop in a civilized way? View my complete profile.

What Am I Here For Anyway?: Building Emunah
http://rsolomon.blogspot.com/2010/07/many-times-we-wonder-why-things-happen.html
What Am I Here For Anyway? Monday, July 19, 2010. Many times, we wonder why things happen to us. We have no clue what the answer may be. For a massive example, we will never be able to comprehend the Holocaust, no matter what terutzim and "proofs" we come up with. That question will only be answered when Moshiach comes, speedily with our days. There are also other little questions that we have no answers to. Questions like:. 1 Why does Yankel have a skin disease? However, we also were put into this world...

What Am I Here For Anyway? Tuesday, December 18, 2007. To make Aliyah or not. As an orthodox Jew in America living in the End of Days, I keep thinking that we need to get out of this country as fast as possible and make it to Israel. I am all for it. I want to do it. I think it's the only place for a Jew to live. And the end, humanity will enter the beautiful butterfly stage, with Moshiach, speedily in our days. Israel is a proving ground. I failed after 3 years, however it is for the best. Also, we have...

What Am I Here For Anyway?: Unburied Treasure - Overcoming your natural language!
http://rsolomon.blogspot.com/2010/07/unburied-treasure-overcoming-your.html
What Am I Here For Anyway? Tuesday, July 13, 2010. Unburied Treasure - Overcoming your natural language! I just heard a most amazing shiur by Rabbi Michalowicz (the Rav of the Westmount Shul and Learning Centre of Thorn Hill, Toronto) on why it is soooo hard to keep Torah and Judaism. It blew my socks away! You can find his classes here: http:/ www.westmountroutes.com/classreview.html. It is based on the Mesilat Yesharim with the Bilvavi's commentary. I highly recommend you listen to it! When I tried spe...

http://rsolomon.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
What Am I Here For Anyway? Friday, July 6, 2007. I wrote this blog earlier, however I would like to repost it for Parshat Pinchas. Here's some insights on Zealousness that Hashem blessed me with. OK, how do I know if I am a true Zealot, a Pinchas in training.or am I a fake, a self-righteous angry man? Well, it depends who you are zealous for. If I am thinking of my own honour, my own self-aggrandizement, then I am fighting for ME ME ME. My mind will be. However your mind would be clear and. You would the...

What Am I Here For Anyway? Friday, July 23, 2010. Just another blah blah post. It's now Erev Shabbat here and we are gearing up for another heatwave. Most of my fellow congregants will be sweating in their jackets and ties. I refuse, and will don a short sleeve shirt and some trousers. One thing, I noticed in my city of Baltimore, I was disgusted to see in the free newspaper boxes a paper with a big ugly giro and the words PIG OUT written in big bold red letters. Wednesday, July 21, 2010. Anyway, we need...

What Am I Here For Anyway?: February 2007

What Am I Here For Anyway? Tuesday, February 6, 2007. You need engines and flaps to fly a jet plane brother! Why is it so important to do personal prayer? Why do I have to take about 15-60 mins of my precious time and go into a field or park and speak to Hashem? Do I not do this during Shacharit, Mincha, and Ma'ariv (Arvit) in a minyan? Also people are going to see me as ridiculous? Thursday, February 1, 2007. Dont worry America. Israel is behind you! 11:47 Feb 01, '07 / 13 Shevat 5767. An Israeli securi...

What Am I Here For Anyway? Thursday, May 3, 2007. Here is the lady I have been praying for all these years:. I know I have been amiss for a while, because I have been focusing lots of time on shidduch hunting and car buying, but now. With The Help Of Hashem YitBarach, I AM ENGAGED to my Jewish Russian Queen. The Beautiful Yelena Kaz of Baltimore. Here's my bride and I mugging for the camera. Sorry guys, I am not very photogenic like my kallah is ;). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
