  You’re “irate” now! Ha, well, now you’re a Monsey man. You are finally getting it. I will say though that now that spring has sort of sprung, Monsey is feeling good to me. All the season changes do that to me here. The groundhogs are out, skinny from hibernation, buds on the trees, the landscapers are starting to come around, the arborist wants to spray for that Japanese beetle that’s eating all the trees–yes, many of us up here have an arborist if we give half a damn about the trees on the property, and the garage sales have begun. You have to go to the garage sales and then post about the difference between a frum garage sale done by people making Aliyah and an old couple/moving to Florida garage sale. Follow the signs on the roads.

  My climax of boredom is when the shul starts auctioning aliyos and stuff. I never want these honors as it is, it’s hard to believe people are willing to pay for them. But nothing puts me to sleep more than the old gabbi hocker yelling “driteh mul” and a crowd of hatzaloh volunteers jump up and yell a dollar more to shlep the whole ceremony even longer. I just go home.

  Headbanger the aliyah auction is my fave part of shul- it rocks to see people haggeling- besides whenever they do that shul goes forever anyway.

  I’m not familiar with the aliyah auctions. Can you post more about what the process is like and when? How much do they go for?

  It is just like any other auction on earth except it’s all Jews participating so nothing is really the same. I guess my shuls just don’t have the interesting characters to make it more fun. But I can imagine some big shot shuls turning it into a Jerry springer episode.

  It’s the Jewish Jerry Springer. That’s the best idea I can give you.

  im liking the shirt! and did you ever notice that the shul greeter isnt even someone cool? i’d say he’s usually in the “galila reject” category. he’s this guy who isnt even cool, but because he always says hi and makes it his business to schmooze everyone up, he ends up knowing everybody.

  Actually in Rochester the guy who is most likely to greet you in Beth Shalom has a strong resemblance to the Father from American Pie.

  Yes I have noticed this- I will not go into all the observations due to loshon harah

  Hi Heshy! It’s Mrs. Dan from Rochester. I’ve been hearing about your blog and thought I’d take a peek. Impressive! I love this video! You are really good. I think the last time I saw you was at Akiva Groskin’s Bar Mitzvah - you look like you are doing great. Monsey, huh? Take care Heshy.
