I'm waiting for mincha at the Kazinsky shul in Budapest. Some dude in a tunic is giving a lecture to his phone. Second rate, conspiracy-riddled Carlebachian neo-Hasidism. Totally nutty.
This guy. Image
And he's not vaccinated. My son totally called it.
Here's a snippet.

At about 3:30am today, I finished editing the translation of Rav Melamed's Peninei Halakha on Sukkot. It's the 9th volume that I've edited in English.
Later, I read Rav Melamed's column on what's been happening at Robinson's Arch. We are so fortunate to have him. 1/3
And I'm so fortunate to be able to study, translate, edit, and disseminate his Torah to the English speaking world.

Here's a partial translation of his column from @JewishPress: jewishpress.com/news/jewish-ne… 2/3
I get a lot of questions about how to get the books in the US. There are two ways:
1) Order from nehora.com
2) Ask your local seforim store to order from Alev to Tav, out of Lakewood. (And encourage them to order a bunch!) 3/3

I feel like we need a whole new set of broadcasting calls for @JacobSteinmetz6:
I'll start.
***Manager slowly walks to the mound, takes the ball from Steinmetz, and says, "Rabboysay, mir velln bentchen"***
@simmy_cohen @CespedesBBQ @ElliSchorr
If he pitches a perfect game:
"Steinmetz has achieved Shleymus!" (too obvious?)
So @ayilbasvach is on a roll with this...

@jacklanger @DBashIdeas
***Strike three called, and Steinmetz tells the batter to make a Leishev***

Okay, the latest Genazym catalog dropped in the last day or two.
genazym.bidspirit.com/?lang=he&utm_s…
And there's something really curious, perhaps even suspicious, about one of the most remarkable items on auction. This thread will raise the questions. I don't have answers. 1/n
One of the headline items on auction (starting bid of $100,000) is an extraordinary document: the intact pinkas (ledger) of Rabbi Hayim Rephael Sagri, a shadar (emissary, fundraiser) of the Jewish community in Tiberias, from the early 19th c. 2/n
The auction site has some amazing pictures and even some downloadable PDFs of all the rabbis and towns visited by this emissary. (Right in #HaMapah's wheelhouse!) Take a look:

Best ways to kill a Shabbos meal invitation. I'll start:
"Oh, by the way, we're vegan."
"Oh, I forgot to mention, we're making early Shabbos."
"We're also having the Grosses. Do you know the Grosses?" (Yes. We can't stand the Schwartzes.)

Some thoughts on the present situation, after a night of little sleep, interrupted by booms and sirens. A thread:

I'm not getting into the discussion of who is the bigger victim. There's no point. It's Twitter. Nobody changes their mind here.
1/n
Rather, I'm going to speculate on an aspect of this tragedy that is not really being discussed, as it's not about Israel vs. Hamas or even Israel against the Palestinians.
It's about divisions among Israel's own citizens, where we were a few weeks ago, and where we are now. 2/n
ICYMI, while @netanyahu was fighting to keep the premiership, he negotiated with Ra'am, an Islamist party, about joining his coalition. That was a huge breakthrough in the history of this state. Never has an Israeli government relied on the support of an Arab party. 3/n

With Prof. Segal's permission, and knowing @DBashIdeas love of R. Hutner's Pachad Yitzchak, here's a story.
Aaron and I overlapped @inthegush for all three years I was in the kollel and he was there post high school. Once a week, kollel guys would host a "va'ad". 1/
A bunch of the yeshiva guys would come over for some nosh and some non-routine learning. I was fortunate to have the same group of 5-7 guys in my va'ad for 2 straight years. The group became very close. Aaron Segal was one of the guys. 2/
We switched up what we learned, but for a while it was Pachad Yitzchak. On one hand, R. Hutner was RAL's rebbi, and so on the Gush radar. On the other hand, he was not part of the curriculum there. Perfect, I thought. 3/
