    wow Chaya Sara thank you so much 4 at least taking this clip so that we could at least learn something eventhough we are not there! i realy wish i could come......i wonder why ppl. always say that they have to daven, i guess b/e what they mean is they have to b4 its too late and they realy, realy want to do it-so that they can con. to Hashem more-dont 4get every time we dont daven we loose an opportunity to connect w/ Hashem and we also distence a little bit. i cant remember who or where i have heard it, and i dont know if its true but someone once told me/a group of girls that tefila is like a rope; every time you daven you get closer to Hashem(the rope shortens), and evey time you dont the rope gets longer and u kind of distance your self from Hashem...
    its so funny that im sayn this today...b/e when i was coming on the way back home today by train,after 2mid. terms s/o "droped" a whole bunch of pappers and then taped a piece of paper to the train that said "look around" so i of course looked around and i see this advertisement 4 a church-which was realy funny it said:" Mrs. taylor says DONT GIVE UP!" then in bold letters it said "HAVE SPELLS? CANT HOLD MONEY? WANT LUCK? WANT LOVED ONES BACK? WANT TO STOP NATURE PROBLEMS. OR WANT TO GET RID OF STRANGE SICKNESESS? CALL 4 AN APPOINTMENT....ETC.." when i read this i knew that if i didnt have emunah in hashem after reading this whole thing and the whole article under it -i knew that i would tottaly go 4 it-then it hit me if i would fall 4 this; that they would make life easyer and Hashem isn't the one who could only do this then so may other Jews who dont have emunah in Hashem and things aren't turning out the way they are suppost2 would go to this Church and be a christion! this got be so mad that i took a bunch of these papers-whatever i could reach-b/e it was then my stop and ripped them up accept for 1 that i still have b/e i want to show how much-just by a speach could pull s/o in to do s/t(like hitler yimach shimo)
    when i got home (i told Raizy Warshavchic-4 those who know her from sternberg and asked if i should call these ppl. up. she said she doesnt know-and that i should basicaly do whatever i want)so i called this #up-s/o answerd the phone;and i said, "hi this is Sammy. i know s/o who went to this thing and shes still not happy w/ life. could you please help her?" the lady is like "What?"-and i couldnt repeat my self b/e half of me felt guilty for doing this but the other half of me wanted to stop all of these Jews going there so i just hanged up the phone and was rolling w/ laughter.
    i just felt that i had to call this person up b/e i was just so angree when i saw it-but now that i did do that-i dont know if it was the right thing-i mean is it a chila Hashem even if they dont know who it is if im Jewish or not?I did say that my name was Sammy. the whole point of me doing that was 4 them to realize that yes things weren't going the way they wanted it to even w/ this Church so they should just close that Church and all of those Jewish ppl. who are there should realize that its Hashem who could only make this happen to us-and change the situation. and they should come back to being jewish-not only Jewish but Frum!

    Im so sorry i missed hearing this speech...
    it sounds like just what i NEEDED to hear!
    could you please have Rabbi Klatsko come again??
    oy, i feel like we (majority) of Klal Yisroel are living as just parrots and are not being religious because we WANT and LOVE to!

    ya i think its mostly b/e ppl. are under stress and its so hard to cope w/ s/t in life so they think that n/o can help them-so thats what i meant by this-they see advertisments like this one, or someone tells them that life would ne so much easyer in church so they go off the derech and come to church "b/e that will just make them happier" instead of turning to Hashem.....

    in response to liat's first post- it's very interesting if you start to notice how ads and commercials aren't trying to sell you their product- they are trying to sell you "happiness" "comfort" "meaning". Like that food or clothing will really make your life fulfilled. This entire world is on a search for happiness; after all, life should be enjoyed and it often becomes stressfull and not so enjoyable anymore, so people ealsily buy into a commericialized voice telling them that buying that dish detergent will really make their life more fulfilled and releived, when the responsibility ison each person to make his life worth something. And the best way we got is prescribe in the Torah. a pretty clear rode to happiness :)

    ya the only thing is though, that not all jews realize that(i mean like ppl. who DO go to church or became non-religious)There life-or just life in general would be so much easyer w/ the torah and wanting to connect to Hashem...after all thats why we ARE put in to this world right?...

    This is a reply to Anonymous #4:

    When you have a relatinoship with someone, you want it to last. How do you do that? A person in any relationship (friend, coworker, parent/child, teacher/student) is supposed to work hard to please the other person and give as much of themselves as they can. When both sides are giving of themselves consistently, a realationship is bound to work out, becuase it's being built upon a foundation of giving. Take two friends who do the opposite. Each of them wants to take from the other - both demand to be listened to, both make rules that the other must adhere to... but none of them give anything in return. Do you think such a friendship can last? Obviously not! When we have a relationship with Hashem, we should be giving everything that we can for Him because look how much He gives us! He gives us health, families, money, a beautiful world etc etc.... the least we can do is give of ourselves to follow the rules that He put forth in the Torah. Of course Hashem will love us always, no matter what kind of clothes we wear, but don't we want to give more? We want to be the best we can be and follow the ways of living how Hashem wants us to. Besides, being that Hashem knows all, He is aware of what it takes to make our relationship between Himself and us be so great. When we do mitzvos, we are strengthening our relationship more and more.

    Wow, Anonymous, that's a great question!

    Part of our relationship with Hashem is the mitzvos that He told us to keep. Each mitzvah helps build our relationship with Him in a more beautiful way. If you understood the meaning behind each mitzvah, you would come to appreciate and love it!

    There are two posts on this blog on the topic of tznius which you can read by clicking on these two links: You Are a Diamond!! & What a Great Mitzvah! Hopefully we will post more on this topic so you can come to love and appreciate the beauty of this special mitzvah!

    ruchiccio-
    i know its been a while already when this has been put up, but i just wanted to say that i tottaly agree with what you said! the funny thing is that in camp someone was giving a work shop on this topic-and its so funny that you said the same thing! she also said that if one wants to keep a relationship with someone the best way is by learning with someone, because we are both wanting to grow!....:)

    First of all, I did change my posting name because I started my own blog and didn't want to use Ruchiccio for a bunch of reasons, but I'm the same person!

    Secondly, I wouldn't have come back here to this old post had my good friend devorah not forwarded me the email she gets when a new user posts. She just sent it to me because she figured I'd have wanted to reply!

    ... so your welcome fell flat ;) but that's ok! I take kind wishes any day!

  18. RachelAugust 25, 2010 at 8:52 PM

    Well first of all I didn't want people to associate my blog with Ruchiccio and I had no patience creating a new blogger profile, so I just changed my profile name. Well, I definitely had to change my symbol because otherwise people may wonder what the R stands for - the iRiR makes no problem cuz its my blog's initials! So you miss my cool R? If you email me, I can make you a cool L ;)
