AM Inspiration

Second shabbat in the holy land..went to some awesome classes at Moreshet...watched some classes by Rabbi Wallenstein...and as usual..the same question- mah lichtov? Yesterday actually last night i was going to the kotel and it was kinda late so i decided teh safest walking venue was to walk through town. and let me tell you a mob scene. i dont know how many of u know taht yesterday was yom yerushalayim- personally i didnt till i walked down town. man alive, id never seen so many kids in one place! they just kept coming outta every crack adn crevice. the farther along i walked the more congested it got. once i got up yaffo it seemed that i was walking against the tide. it seemed as if everyone was walking back from the kotel and i was the only strange one actually heading toward to the kotel! as i neared shaar yaffo i stopped in my tracks- there were fireworks being projected into the air. ad i stood there for about 15-2o mins watching i dont think i saw fire works since i dont even r...

So im sitting here in Rechavia , yes I finally landed adn got here. I kinda feel pressure cuz it should be waay beter now that im in such a holy place. My inspiration should be at an all time high.But as usual as im starting I am drawing a blank so im just gonna tell yiou about my trip. So originally i was supposed to fly on monday night cuz they told me taht the sunday flight was packed but i decided to check motzai shabbat online to see what the story was and i saw that there were empty flights. So i call in and ask the guy and he changed my flight to sunday night. but he cant give me a seat till i get to the airport. So i get to the airport three hoiurs early to make sure that i get a seat and yay! i get a window seat adn im sitting aat the gate with my parents adn then it suddenly occurs to them to check that they transfereedd over my "kosher food" status. they hadnt at that point it was half an hr before boarding and they already had put the food on the plane but btwn my...

Man alive do i have a story for you! So i was supposed to go to isreal wednesday, i was flying direct and i was all excited that i was gonna have a normal flight. i had no problems with security i get on the plane i sit in my seat, get my book out. everyone is filing in. they do the whole security thing, turn off the lights we all settle in, i even turn off my beloved ipod. all of sudden they turn the lights back on, and they aer telling us that the plane is BROKEN! and that they haev to do sheet metal repair. so they give us an option to get off the plane and go through security again or we can stay on the plane and in an hour the well just move us to the next plain. now with my previous experience do yoiu thinki i believd them? uhuhuhuh! so i get off settle down with my book and get comfirtable . i call my parets to tell them what teh story was. so my father tell me to ask if i can change my flight to sun night cuz we had a seuda last night at my house and i was gonna miss it. so i c...

So...yesterday when i was at the gym, working out, not working, when i saw this lady who wasnt exactly a size two if ya know what i mean. then this thought processs started which i think we all have when we see someone of a certain size.."oy nebach, so sad how did they get that far, i would never let myself turn into that" or some people go into this thought process "eew gross! how can she like live with herself, i mean seriosuly how does she look at herself in the mirror" and you see these people at teh gym and sometimes you wonder why? why do they even bother walking two miles an hr on the treadmill? whats the point? but i think this mentality goes farther. its not only with hefty people that we have this process its also with people who are sooo different from us that we just cannot relate. it may be someone who has gone off the derech. you havent seen them in a while cuz well you just dont run in the same circles (btw..running in circles..completely pointless!) ...
