I read about a reasonable priced school that could turn a “Shlomo” into a Rabbi in only one year the only problem is it read from a different book. I would be able to park almost anywhere in NYC, lead many Mitzvah’s and most importantly help those who are caught between the traditional and the secular find their soul spot . For although everyone should be invited to attend certain actions aren’t acceptable in “The Book” but are not only acceptable but appear to be promoted in the school. I don’t believe any clergy person should turn away anyone who seeks salvation and we are all sinners looking to become better people yet if we make up our own rules based on political correctness then we aren’t a religious group but a political one. I could become a Rabbi through the more traditional way but that would take years and probably force me to follow rules that I believe are correct for many but not all. Therefore I guess I’ll have to park like the rest and will only speak as a layman as I try to help my fellow human find their soul spot.
Liberals in Hollywood
As a committed Tea Party Conservative I’m happy that there are liberals in Hollywood, I just wish they’d open the door a bit wider for different views as well. I think those with differing views get us to open our eyes and see the world through different lenses that our glasses would not have seen before. It also challenges the way we might think and help build our story telling and character development along such lines. When we only stay with those with similar views our stories can become predictable and bland. Therefore if there ever is a day when Conservatives run Hollywood I’d be the first one to open the door widely to a Liberal who I hope won’t slam it on me.
Oh my Gosh…. PLEASE
Everyone has the right to express themselves the way they want and therefore I’m not trying to censure anyone but would appreciate if you just change the last 2 letters. The Bible says we shouldn’t take the name of G-D (see) in vain and although this isn’t the Hebrew word it still irks me when it is said as such. I actually say a little silent prayer on behalf of those that have said the one letter, just in case it irks G-D as well. “Oh my Gosh” may not appear to have the same effect for now but when it comes into larger use who knows where it will take us. Thank you for considering my request and I wish you all the great happiness that has you say “Oh my G0….sh!!!!” By the way “Thank G-D” is fine in my book and the book as well.
Faith/Politics/Parenting
The way you raise your children might have more to do with your faith and politics then you might believe. For those that belief that G-D controls every aspect of their life might belief that they in turn should control every aspect of their child’s life. While those who belief G-D gives us free will to live and learn will utilize that aspect when we raise our children. Then of course politics can come into play, whether it be those who are Pro-Gun and take their children to the rifle range, to those who are “Pro-Abortion” who take their children to the clinic. Here is the way (below) I believe that my prospective on the world has influenced the way I raise my children. Of course other aspects play a pivotal role, such as seeing what the Jones’s are doing to seeing how lazy you feel that particular day but don’t discount the role faith and politics play in the families of today.
(1) FAITH- Although my children aren’t as traditional as me I believe and pray that they have an enduring faith in G-D that will help them deal with failure and success.
(2) TEA PARTY- I’ve raised my children to enjoy the freedoms they are given with only some basic strict laws they can’t break.
(3) CONSERVATIVE- The values that I’ve raised them under should allow them to enjoy the freedom in number 2 without crossing the lines of good judgment and G-D willing I won’t be forced to add many new restrictions over time.
(4) LIBERAL- I have created a financial net that should keep them away from falling through and am probably a bit more lenient on passing judgement in their cases.
SAFEALIFE
John Hinkley, David Berkowitz and other killers could have been stopped in the tracks if “SAFEALIFE” existed. “SAFEALIFE” would be a local government/ clergy based organization that would reach out to those individuals who could become your next lone wolf before such an attack occurred. Individuals from the clergy (training in mental health) and an armed social worker would visit individuals that through posts, local reports, and research appear to be those who might act out in a violent way to themselves or society as a whole. They would come with information and even a little present to enter these individuals residence to determine whether additional mental health treatment might be necessary or just a hand of hope and love. The government would fund this group but not directly be involved in the daily operations unless it is warranted due to an impending threat. SAFEALIFE would not only protect the local community but save a life of those in desperation and despair.
“Cosby Show” star announces her engagement as …
I apology in advance for being a bit cynical but isn’t it strange how former “Cosby Show” star Keshia Knight Pullman has announced her engagement to Ed Hartwell (NFL veteran) just a few days after Bill Cosby was indicted. It could be just a coincidence or great publicity to advance their careers and life. Either way I wish them well on both pursuits for why not advance your love life and business life at the same time if you can. I also don’t want Mr. Hartwell and is 250 NFl arms come banging on my door.
Wine Worked Best
Last night the liquor was not giving me a buzz, that is until I tried a bit of wine. I didn’t end up like the characters above but had a few more laughs and loosened up the socks. Too bad I discovered the power of wine just before the ball dropped but at least I’m not waking up with a cat mustache or my head in the wrong spot. Happy New Years Day!
2017 Predictions
I’m starting a bit early but I had a bit more “Ethanol”in my tank so here’s what I predict will occur in 2017 (below) plus some other wise woman and men. Some of these predictions are a bit easier then others, I’ll leave you to decide which one’s they are. The “Have Fun Now Prediction” I hope we all can agree can be put off for a few more years if not generations.
(1) The first month of the 20th day will bring a new leader to the White House.
(2) The Illuminati’s and George W Bush will continue to be blamed by too many for all the worlds ills.
(3) The 1st day of the New Year will bring many people to their Aspirin bottles.
(4) Marco Rubio will be sworn into office.
(5) Fox News will still have the most attractive reporters in the business.
(6) I will be writing 2018 Predictions if I still have fingers, a brain, heart, and a few dollars in my pocket.
Jewish Pass Card
Some Jewish laws are too difficult to fulfill so Rabbi’s have found a “Jewish Pass Card” called Legal Fiction to lessen or even nullify such laws. For example it says in the bible you shouldn’t take interest when making a loan so the “Rabbi’s” have found a device to call it an investment and the interest a return. Utilizing this device many of us “Rabbi’s in training” (at least in our mind) have taken these steps in our life. For example I eat non-kosher meats but make sure that I don’t eat the parts where blood would be taken (thou shall not eat blood) and order all my meats well done to drain them of this source. I believe since “Kosher laws” aren’t specifically defined in the bible I could use my “Jewish Pass Card” and G-D will accept it on my part. I also have introduced more Kosher food to my house and try to support Kosher restaurants on a regular basis just in case my card isn’t always accepted.
