The complimentary post to last weeks “annoying things that happen on shabbos“
When people cut full slices of challah for you instead of those dinky cut in half pieces
When I sleep late and the shul I went to actually started on time
Getting to shul and realizing there is a big Kiddush
Finding an ashkenaz siddur in a spehardi shul
Finding an artscroll at chabad
Getting to my hosts house and realizing they are having a bunch of girls my age staying over as well
Having a chazzan that busts out the carelbach style kabalas shabbos
Getting look at the girls during the lecha dodi look back
Meat!!!
Shabbos shluff
Shalom zachors
Looking over the mechitza and knowing there are actually girls behind it (its empty and lonely all week)
Putting on nice clothing
Time to clear my head and think of things to write
Shabbos offer a venue discuss community politics and catch up on all the loshon horah (you would think they would have banned shabbos meals a long time ago because of this reason)
Moscato Diasti – sure to get a bunch of people yelling about how its not wine but really soda, but as a man comfortable with my sexuality I will admit that I look forward to the blue bottle being whipped out at the shabbos table- especially if I have to wait for regular drinks.
Old guys named Marvin and Irv who bicker in back of the shul on shabbos
Catching up on reading
Walking
Going to shachris, seems that shabbos is the only time I actually go
Kiddush clubs
The only time of the week I ever eat herring or chopped liver
