GOOD SHABBOS
4 June 2009

 

Dear All,

The weather is glorious for this time of year, with sunny days (very) and cooler evenings………..For those that saw TV coverage of the British Lions – Bafokeng game in Rustenburg would have seen the good weather…….

The Super 14 final between the Bulls (Ou Noord Transvaal ) and the Chiefs (NZ) was a GR888 Rugger final…normally they are safety first games with little action….. The Bulls were awesome, and soooo many of the Manne had good games, and it all helps poor PDV (Pieter De Villiers) the Bok coach, as he was up in Windhoek looking for talent….Oey vy…… Guys like Morne Steyn, Fourie Du Preez , Olivia Newton (Olivier),Spies, and the newest Flank, Dewald Potgieter….all had ‘blinders’…and a few others…….. My pre season prediction was that the Bulls should reach the Semi’s, my Mid competition update, they WILL make the Semi’s and then made a prediction that they where the ONLY Souff Effrikken side that could take the title……not toooo ‘shabby’…. ?????

Must say that the Press have gone ‘Mishuga’ with this win, and have predicted all sorts of glory…….The Chiefs are not the second best Super 14 team, by far…and one cannot make such ‘rash’ statements…the win was ‘Humungous’ , BUT….they are getting carried away a bit……………. 

One year, a husband decided to buy his mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift…The next year, he didn't buy her a gift.

When she asked him why, he replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"

And that's how the fight started.....


I asked my wife, 'Where do you want to go for our anniversary?'

It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation.

'Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!' she said.

So I suggested, 'How about the kitchen?'

And that's when the fight started.... 

The British Lions struggled to beat a VERY weak Bafokeng XV, without ONE Seriaaaas player among them, BUT…….they will come back , and their running has to be watched, as they have some ‘Brilliant’ backs, and of course some of the forwards are really ‘Battle Hardened’, soooooo it will be a big task for the Boks, and although most of the reporters this weekend reckon the BOKS have the series, we could be in for a ‘shock’………especially as ‘OUR’ coach, PDV is a bit ‘Shaky ‘ , and has VERY little experience in dealing with the pressures of a long tour……..BUT…home ground will again be a major factor……..yesterdays game against the ‘Mighty Lions (Oey vy) (Ou Transvaal) was a much better Rugger display by the Lions ( British that is…), 72-10 is a ‘KLAP’ and the next game or two will reveal what we can expect……I still cannot see the 50,000 British supporters they were talking ‘Bobbameises’ about a few months ago…..??? O’Gara is getting on, BUT…what a Flyhalf general he still is, and of course O’Driscol will give many headaches still…..not that the Williams boys won’t…………….The BOK team selected is very much what was expected, and I have ‘Punted’ for Morne Steyn, and he did make it..??? I hope Earl ‘Rose’ will not be the ‘Thorn’ is the side…..Oey vy………..Remember these ‘Souties’ have come on a ‘Mission Improbable’, BUT ..still a mission to WIN….. 

A student went to class late, so the teacher asked him, "Why are you late?"
He told her, "I was dreaming of a Manchester United football match."
But that did not make any sense for the teacher so she ask, "Still why are you late?"
He answered, "Because there was extra time."
 

Why did the referee have such a high phone bill? …..Because he made to many calls!

I used to play tennis, baseball, basketball and chess, but I stopped after my son broke my playstation.

The less said the better about the Manchester defeat….which ‘might’ see Sir Alex saying ‘Tjeers’ soon, and I believe that Ronaldo might move on…..Chelsea had the better of the Cup final and were deserved winners…….That Frank Lampard has ‘Tukka’ put in a few E-mazing goals in the last few games….Lets see what happens in the new season??  http://www.stantgsm.com/list_jokes.php

See an E-mazing Sokka Jersey….. 

A mother was dropping her son off at a friend's house.
She said to him, "Will you be good while Mommy's gone?"
The boy replied, "If you give me a dollar!"
His mother shook her head and said to him, ……….

"Why can't you be good for nothing like your father?!"

Crossroads Remedial has set up a Facebook Group for all ex Pupils and Teachers, and Michael Katzeff ( ex Emmerentia ) came to me at the recent Crossoads Golf Day @ the Kilarney Country Club, and offered to get the group going…..Always remember the Schools Motto…. “Let none be left behind”….

Log on to www.facebook.com and Click on search, and type in Crossroads School, and Click on Your Old School Badge, as there are a few Crossroads groups…… The new website will soon be ready…….If you ‘Do not Do Facebook –(Like Me), just drop me an E-mail with your address and the years you were at the School…. And any ‘Meisa’s’ you have of the school….Like Herson the Sokka coach……. Smookler@netactive.co.za 

What's the wicked thing a group of young accountants can do?
Go into town and gang-audit someone.
 

What do accountants do for fun?  ………. Add the telephone book.   

What does an accountant say when you ask him the time?
It's 9.18 am and 12 seconds; no wait - 13 seconds, no wait - 14 seconds, no wait......
 

Why did the accountant stare at his glass of orange juice for three hours?
Because on the box it said …. Concentrate.

The accountant was visiting the Museum of Natural History and said to the person standing next to him, "That dinosaur is two billion years and ten months old."

"How did you get such exact information?"

"I was here ten months ago and the guide said the dinosaur was two billion years old."

What's an accountant's idea of trashing his hotel room?
Refusing to fill out the guest comment card.
 

How do you drive an accountant completely insane?
Tie him to a chair, stand in front of him and fold up a road map the wrong way.
 

Shavuot was huge in the ‘Beloved Country’ with many overseas Rabbi’s & speakers coming to lecture at the Various Shuls & Organizations…… Sandton had a House Full Dinner, and Rabbi Lapin was the guest, and he also gave a few ‘Droshe’s’ in Shul….and his Shabbos morning one was really well received…it was ‘Tukka’ a sad, BUT…happy Shabbos, as the Community said goodbye to two very ‘Good’ products of the Sandton Shul….Lori (Wainberg) & Marc Cohen are immigrating to Toronto, and they will be sorely missed……Both have from staunch Shul families, and  Bernice & Solly Wainberg, and  Roy Cohen have been life members at the Shul, and their extended families are also at the Shul….Lori was the Youngest Chairlady of the Women’s Guild, when in her early teens, and Marc has been singing in the Shul choir since he was a ‘Pik’ (Kid) and I remember him singing Ein K’loheinu when he was Barmitzvah, and I shed many tears then and this Shabbos when he sang it again, after doing it many times on Yomtavim…his Dad Roy, has been the Bass in the Choir for 35 year, and the sad part is that Roy & Lesley are making Aliyah soon, and Roy’s Boet Melvin, has already made Aliyah, Melvin being a former Chairman of the Shul…..the family sponsored a ‘Lekker’ brocha.. And all in all it was a lovely Shabbos @ Sandton….

A bloke walks into a bar in New Zealand and orders a shandy…..
All the Kiwis sitting around the bar look up, expecting to see another
Australian visitor.
The barman says, "You ain't from around here, are ya?"
The guy says, "No, I'm from Canada ."
The bartender says, "What do you do in Canada ?"
The guy says, "I'm a taxidermist."
The bartender says, "A tixidermist? What the hick is a tixidermist?

Do you drive a tixi ??????"

"No, a taxidermist doesn't drive a taxi. I mount animals."
The bartender grins and yells,
"He's okay boys. He's one of us."
 

Chabad Umhlanga – ‘Comrades Schtick’..GR8888 effort…..

Several Comrades runners spent Shabbos prior to race day in Umhlanga. We even had a guest runner and his fiancée from Israel. Friday evening Shabbos dinner was interesting and inspiring with lots of fun and humour going round the table. Shabbos morning all the runners who were at Shul got Aliyahs at the Torah and other honours.. The Kiddish too followed the same pattern with runners and locals enjoying each others company and sharing stories and experiences which were both motivating and inspiring.

On the Sunday morning it was race day. The 90km race from Pietermaritzburg to Durban started at 5:30am. The Chabad Mobile Unit was set up by 7am at Hillcrest. We tried making a Minyan of staff and supporters but it didn’t happen.

So we davened in the fresh crisp air along the route. By 9:30am the first runners started coming. 13000 runners ran by the Chabad check point. We made contact with many in some way or the other. 17 men stopped to put on Tefillin and say Shema. Some men and women stopped to say Shema, or make a Bracha, on a fruit or potatoes or a drink or some cake which we were giving out. Who ever stopped was given a coin to put into a Tzedaka pushka (box) The Yidden did well. I urge you to check out the Comrades 2009 photo album. Just click here! The feedback from the runners has been fantastic and well appreciated. I clicked on the Comrades 2009 link, and recognized quite a few of the ‘Boytjies’ that ran….

Norman Krom (was at Highlands),Neil Lewus( ex PE- Stan & Pete waiter),Benjy Porter , Kevin Black, Ronnie Dribbin.. MR Ryan Perel and my Chaver Cecil Sher who was assisting with his wife Cathy….really GR8888 to see such ‘inspiring’ pictures…..’Gib A Kuk’………….

Next Thursday sees the opening of of the NEW “ Morningside Shopping Centre” , which has only taken 15 months to complete…….the new Centre is of course much bigger with the Garage gone, and 80 ‘Shopkella’s’ opening in the centre, which has plenty of underground parking, and a special ‘Road ‘level of parking for the ‘Yidlach’ who always like to Park’ Eiben Uf’ (right in front)….the Centre has fitted in well with the surroundings and WILL be a big hit in the future…… 

A married couple both lost their jobs at the broom factory, and were having a hard time finding new jobs. Unfortunately, their mounting credit card debt required some immediate income.
The wife suggested that she could whore herself out, but her husband was a little less than thrilled about the prospect.

But financial necessities got the best of her, and she went behind her husband's back to go whoring. She came back one night with a huge wad of cash, and fussed up to her hubby.
He was upset, but asked how much she made.
"$398.10," she said.  

"Who paid ten cents?" he asked.
"Everybody."  ( Bittere gelechte…)

WOMENS ASSERTIVENESS CONFERENCE

 The first speaker, a lady from England, stood and said 'During last year's conference, we spoke about being more assertive with our husbands. 

 Well, after the conference, I went home and told my husband, Barrington, that I would no longer cook for him and that he would have to do it himself.

After the first day, I saw nothing. The second day, I saw nothing, but on the third day, I saw that he had cooked a wonderful roast lamb.' …………….(The crowd cheered).  

The second lady from Russia, stood up and said, 'after last year's conference, I went home and told my husband, Ivan, that I would no longer do his laundry and that he would have to do it himself.

The first day, I saw nothing. After the second day, I saw nothing, but on the third day,

  I saw that he had done not only his own washing, but mine as well.

(The crowd again cheered). 

The third speaker, an Aboriginal lady from Australia, stood up and said, 'Afta lass year's conference, I wen home and tole dat lazy husband of mines, Dingo Jack, dat I was froo pickin up his beer cans, cookin his tucker and washin his undaweah and dat he was goin to haf to do dem himself.

(The crowd went wild with cheering and clapping that lasted for five long minutes). 

She continued. 'Afta da first day, I nevah see nuffin. Afta da second day I nevah see nuffin, but afta da fird day, I could see a little bit outa my leff eye.' (Ouch…….! ! ! ! ! ). 

They had a SAICC breakfast @ SASFIN on Tuesday, and ‘OUR’ Local SASFIN ‘DJ’ Dave Shapiro gave the Droshe, which was very well received…….The Souff Effrikken Israeli Chamber of Commerce does a lot of networking, and puts people in touch, which in the end promotes trade with Israel…….very good morning…Dave’s talk was about Warren Buffets AGM in Nebraska, which drew 35,000 people to the AGM…..

There's an old line that goes: ………………………..

"The problem with political jokes is that too many of them end up getting elected."

attack on the Pentagon:
"I'm sorry to hear about the attack. It is a very big tragedy.

But in case you are missing any documents from the Pentagon, we have copies of
everything."

A group of Americans were traveling by tour bus through Holland. 

As they stopped at a cheese farm, the young guide led them through the process

of cheese making, explaining that goats milk was used.  She showed the group

a lovely hillside where many goats were grazing.

"These," she explained, "Are the older goats put out to pasture when they no
longer produce."  She then asked, "What do you do in America with your old goats?"

A spry old gentleman answered, "They send us on bus tours, and let us live in Florida."

A Greek and Italian were arguing over who had the superior culture.

The Greek says, "We have the Parthenon."

Arching his eyebrows, the Italian replies, "We have the Coliseum.".

The Greek retorts, "We Greeks gave birth to advanced mathematics"

The Italian, nodding agreement, says, "But we built the Roman Empire."

And so on and so on until the Greek comes up with what he thinks will end

the discussion. With a flourish of finality he says, "We invented sex!"

The Italian replies …………..

"That is true, but it was the Italians who introduced it to women.". (Einaaaaaaaah…)

BASIC RULES FOR DRIVING IN GAUTENG 

Indicating will give away your next move. A real Gauteng driver never uses them.

 Under no circumstance should you leave a safe distance between you and
the car in front of you, or the space will be filled by at least 2
taxis, two Golfs, a BMW and an Uno, putting you in an even more dangerous
situation.

 The faster you drive through a red light, the smaller the chance you have of getting hit.

Never, ever come to a complete stop at a stop sign. No one expects it and
it will only result in you being rear-ended.

Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to ensure that your ABS kicks in, giving you a nice, relaxing foot massage as the brake pedal pulsates. For those of you without ABS, it's a chance to stretch your legs.

Parsha of The Week
 

Self Made Man?

 

                                                                       

Rabbi Yossy Goldman

Sydenham Shul,

C/O ‘Beloved Country’

 

"He is a self-made man who worships his creator." Who said it? About whom? It doesn't really matter as long as we make sure the description doesn't fit us.

This week's parshah details the offerings of the princes (nessi'im) of the twelve tribes at the time the Mishkan, the portable Sanctuary in the wilderness, was completed. Previously, towards the end of the Book of Exodus, we had read that Moses blessed the people when they finished their work. What blessing did he give them? Our sages relate that he blessed them: May it be G-d's will that the Shechinah, the Divine Presence, should come to rest upon the work of your hands. He also blessed them with the phrase that would become part of Psalm 90, May the pleasantness of my L-rd, our G-d, be upon us…May He establish for us the work of our hands.

 

Why pray now? Surely the time for prayer was before the sanctuary was built. Then it might have been needed to inspire the people to bring in their offerings and contributions, to execute the huge amount of work that was required to create this new sacred structure. But now the work is done, everything is in place. Why pray now?

 

The answer is that Moses understood that building G-d's sanctuary is not in our hands alone. Sure, we can erect a structure. That's the easy part. The question is: will G-d see fit to live there, to make it His home? For this, a special prayer was called for. We needed a blessing upon the work our hands

.

How often people imagine that they do it themselves -- all by themselves? How many boast that they are "self-made men"? So anyone who didn't have a rich father before him is a self-made man? Do you really believe that your success is all your own doing? Your hard work, your business acumen, your clever trading technique--these are the secrets of your success?

And where did all that wisdom and ability come from? The skills and talents we possess are G-d-given gifts we should acknowledge and be grateful for. And that's not humility. It's reality. You were born with that natural talent and flair. Give credit to your Creator.

 

A friend was once laid up with a bad back. What happened? He picked up a little bicycle for his 5-year old. A tiny nonsense but it left him flat on his back for weeks.

I remember some years ago catching some kind of "bug" and losing my voice for quite a while. There I was, the rabbi, the preacher, the speaker and the radio personality -- the man of words whose entire profession is built around his ability to say the right thing for every occasion -- and suddenly I'm rendered absolutely speechless. Overnight, I was made useless and unproductive -- all by a tiny germ.

 

To get sick takes a minute, to get well can take weeks and months. We all need to remember our frailties and limitations. No matter how strong, clever or talented we may be, we are all subject to higher forces. Nobody can do it alone. There is no such thing as a self-made man.

 

And so Moses reminds us all that even when our work is done, we still need that blessing from Above. Even when we work hard, concoct the most intricate business schemes, or present the most wonderful proposals, ultimately our success needs a prayer. We need to recognize the hand of G-d in our lives and, hopefully, in our success. Let us do our work as best as we can and then let us not forget to ask Him to bless the work of our hands.
