125.01/ Week one-hundred and twenty-five, December 3-9, 2022 thread begins here.

Week 124 below.
125.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues. Tonight we saw "Samurai Jack: The Premiere Movie." Genndy Tartakovsky is such a great artist and storyteller.
m.imdb.com/title/tt417634…
125.03/ #ByeJake. I wish he could've stayed a Met, because every start of his was a pleasure to anticipate & enjoy. Bad seasons were endurable when he took the mound. At his best, he was the best baseball could be. Here's one of his finest moments. #LGM
125.04/ This is a good article about #TenTalUMatar and why we switch on December 4th by my friend Rabbi Aaron Ross @RabbiRoss.

chaburas.org/teintal.html
125.05/ I'd forgotten that I wrote this thread for Vayeitzei/Vayetze last year
125.06/ Since I'm making up for lost #Vayeitzei/#Veyetze time, here's my favorite Dovid Leider Dvar Torah of all. The "phylacteries" line is all-timer.
(I cut the first few jokes IYKYK & I also tried to add captions with no luck yet)
youtube.com/@DovidLeider
125.07/ I wrote this about the Phillies picking up Trea Turner and I wanna say I can watch that gif over and over. That insouciant athleticism is pure art.
As @nycsouthpaw said: "The absolute sauciest slide I have ever seen."
125.08/ That's good enough for me! Great great news. Warnock has been a great Senator and now we can get a lot more done with 51 than we could with 50. It can free VP Harris to leave DC more often and spread her magic, too.
125.09/ A little Pesach topic early enough in the calendar not to freak anyone out: a tribute to Slivovitz. Rumors that the plum brandy could be used for marror and/or biur chametz are exaggerated.
jta.org/2022/12/02/foo…
125.10/ Alert: Rabbi Dr. Slifkin @NatanSlifkin is changing websites. Just subscribed to keep up with all the Rationalist goodness: rationalistjudaism.substack.com/?r=2gykj&utm_m…
125.11/ That feeling when: you hear a cover of a song you like and actually hear the lyrics well-articulated... and now you need to deal with THAT new reality.
125.12/ Missed this Tuesday, oh no.
Definitely expedited my decision to be fully paid subscriber to @MisfitTorah's newsletter "Volozhin and Kropotkin" misfittorah.substack.com/?r=2gykj&utm_m…
125.13/ This is praxis.
125.14/ BTW, there's nothing like a major "liberal" institution like a newspaper (@NYTimesGuild) or a university (see below) being aggressively anti-Labor to show that their "liberalism" is more aesthetics than ethics.
apnews.com/article/busine…
125.15/ This is great news #GrinerFree
apnews.com/article/brittn…

and I agree with this:
125.16/ My son said they call the madrichim - on his program in Israel for the year - the "mods" and that's Torah U-Madda at work, baby.
125.17/ #ChochmatNashim for #Vayishlach 5783. As a google drive link to a downloadable PDF with working links. @ChochmatNashim
drive.google.com/file/d/1OgqpWd…
125.18/ Context for the reference: Snake Plisskin is the hero of the movie "Escape from NY" & its sequel "Escape from LA". In the latter movie, many characters say "you may have escaped NY, you [may even] have escaped *Cleveland* but you won't escape LA"
125.19/ This is great.


(Note, the day later I got more emails nonetheless. It's like the old joke about the thirsty guy on the train)
125.20/ From earlier in the week.
125.21/ T*cker Carlson scares me the most because the party has shown themselves to flock after TV-stars. There's a precedent both good (see Lapid in Israel, Zelenskyy in Ukraine) and terrible (Boris Johnson)
125.22/ [Smile]
125.23/ Always love one of these
125.24/ OK, this is supposed to be a captions version of the #Vayetze Phylacteries Dvar Toira. I hope it worked.
125.25/ Stay safe everyone and #ShabbatShalom!

195.01/ Week one-hundred and ninety-five, April 6-12, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 194 below.
195.02/ Happy #Eclipse2024 Day for all who celebrate. Here's an interesting article about the halakhic implications of an eclipse by Rabbi Dov Linzer:
blogs.timesofisrael.com/solar-eclipse-…
195.03/ #Eclipse2024 My extended family went to a place of 100% totality and took this picture a few minutes ago. For me its 90% and can't be photographed (which is one reason I said shehechiyanu). Not paskening for anyone else, but for me this is a religious experience. The total eclipse of April 8, 2024

193.02/ This is now my preferred pshat
193.03/ #NachasAlert: Final (so far) tally of times my son leyned Megillah seven times; 3 last night, four times today. Including once for a home-bound Shoah survivor. So proud.

Week 191 below.
192.02/ So today is #ZayinAdar and Saint Patrick's Day during Ramadan. What could go wrong?
192.03/ There's a resonance in having a fast that commemorates a community sacrifice for soldiers fighting a defensive war against raging antisemites. #TaanitEsther

And, hey, it's working already!

191.01/ Week one-hundred and ninety-one, March 9-15, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 190 below.
191.02/ Last #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight of the season. How to top last week, and with a movie my youngest hasn't seen yet? "Fletch (1985)" en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fletch_(f…
191.03/ I agree with Prof. Simkovich, re: the Oscar guy.

Also, I see people wrestling to make sense of his convoluted phrasing, but I'm not inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to a declaration that inherently refuses to give others the same benefit.

Week 189 below.
190.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues, 2 weeks left before we change the clocks so climbing to the finale. It's "Raising Arizona (1987)" night! I don't need to explain how great it is, right?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raising_A…
190.03/ #ChochmatNashim for #Vayakhel #Pekudei 5783 (last year; this year it's Vayakhel-Shekalim)
