151.01/ Week one-hundred and fifty-one, June 3-9, 2023, thread begins here.

Week 150 below.
151.02/ This is the way
washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/06…
151.03/ Now playing thematic songs: "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers, "Blood of the Sun" by Mountain, "Sunshine Superman" by Donavon, "Here Comes the Sun" by Ritchie Havens and "The Sun is a Mass of Incandescent Gas" by TMBG
151.04/ This comic from Red Meat comes to mind #RedSun in NJ 3 panel comic. A screaming ...
151.05/ My old hometown is orange but then again, so is my current town. Luckily I've paid attention to the West Coasters who've reported their conditions in the past few years and know what to do (stay indoors, mask outdoors, daven)
151.06/ I hear West Coasters are peeved that their wildfires weren't as prominently covered as NYC's. Look, I live in NJ, I get it.

But a silver lining is that the world's media center going through apocalypse skies may actually bring home to leaders the doom of climate change.
151.07/ I don't want to get pummeled either, so maybe "bespoke hoaxtress"?
151.08/ From M*sk to the HBO/Max nonsense to the studios being struck by the WGA to that CNN goofball, we're learning that these people are willing to suffer enormous amounts of preventable losses in service of their retrograde ideologies.

151.09/ My earlier comments from this week about the sad #DeGrom saga.
June 5

June 6

(I recall how a "DeGrom Day" for me, a weary #Mets fan, during our down years was exhilarating & unlike any MLB experience. I hope he can return.)
150.11/ Songlist I'm playing for the flaming sky tonight:

"Burning for You" - Blue Öyster Cult
"Fire Woman" - The Cult
"Fire" - Hendrix
"Great Balls of Fire" - Jerry Lee Lewis
"Serpentine Fire" - EW&F
"Fire" - Ohio Players
"Smoke From a Distant Fire" - Sanford-Townsend Band
150.13/ This is the best booth in sports and they really know baseball and the #Mets and if you lose the booth, you're in real trouble. That's when I knew Callaway (ugh) and Rojas were done. #LGM
150.14a/ So far, 19 different transliterations of this weeks parsha:
1. B’ha’a’lot’cha
2. Be-Ha'alotcha
3. Behaalotkha
4. Beha'alotekha/BeHa'alotekha
5. Beha'alotcha
6. Behaalosecha
7. Be-Ha'alotkha
8. Behaloscha
9. Behaalotekha
10. Beha'alosecha

13. B’ha’alotecha
14. BeHa'alotekcha
15. Bha'alotcha
16. Bahaloscha
17. B’eha’alosecha
18. Beha’aloscha
19. Bi’haaloscho
150.14c/ And 2 more!
20. Bihaaloscha
21. Be-Ha'alotecha
151.15/ And now I see I misnumbered all above as well. This is getting messy. Thanks El*n.
151.16/ #ChochmatNashim for #Behaalotecha 5783 @ChochmatNashim

Downloadable PDF with working links of Divrei Torah by Orthodox women scholars.

151.17/ Thank goodness the air cleared up enough that I could grill for Shabbas, especially since this is the first since my son returned from Israel. So happy he's home. My grill, with sausage cook...
151.18/ This is art.

[Img: Pitcher for White Sox is "Burger", batter for Yankees is "King." Their names are next to each other on the screen]
151.19/ I'll end here. Have a great Shabbas everyone, stay safe and #ShabbatShalom!

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

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!

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.
