My Chitas Saying Game Plan

Sometime during Tshrei I decided to take upon myself saying Chitas. That my readers is no easy task.  I asked myself;

How am I possibly going to remember to say tehilllim before it gets dark?

How am I going to have the will power to put the time needed aside to compile with my goal of saying chumush, tehillim, mincha, maariv, kiryat shma, tanya hayom yom, daily mitzvahs etc. In addition to the hour, give or take a few minutes it takes me to daven shacharis??

Thus I made for myself a game plan, I put reminders in my ipod to remind when to say certain things and I made steps, or a daily checklist.

The SS St Louis

  This cartoon appeared in the New York Daily Mirror on June 6, 1939 while the S.S. St. Louis, which had over 900 German Jewish refugees, was awaiting admission to the United States from the Roosevelt administration. The administration refused admission The passengers aboard the S.S. St. Louis left Germany after Kristallnacht, looking for freedom in the United States they were rejected, and thus went to Cuba. Cuba allowed them to dock, but wouldn’t let the passengers stay in their country. The ship, set sail back to Europe and the passengers all prayed they would not have to return to Germany. They had this fear because no country on earth would take them. At the last second, as the S.S St. Louis approached Europe, Holland, France, Great Britain and Belgium each agreed to take a proportion of the refugees.

Pro Israel doesn't = Pro Jew

The middle east conflict's and Israels fight for survival in general is constantly in the news. Lots of people are for Israel, they believe Israel is a good thing. As Netanyahu said; "it's the only thing that is right in the middle east." But just because the world supports Israel, does not mean the world is likes Jews, and that the world does not have anti Semites today. If anyone tells you there is no anti Semites in the world they are a big fat lier. Being for Israel does not mean someone is Pro Jews.

How to Ask Someone if There Jewish

Okay, so to get back to that sometimes offensive question, "Excuse me are you Jewish?" (Is the one I'm referring to.) I understand why people go to the mall and street corners and ask people if they are Jewish. They want to spread the light. They want to help another Jew. Okay fine. Great. Fantastic.

No Music

I don't know if anyone else is having trouble keeping track of the Omer and not listing to music but I most definitely am. Even though counting Omer takes like 2 minutes I don't do it. I always forget.

At my Public School every day in gym we listen to music when we work out. When my soccer team (Were undefeated btw!!!) travels to away games we listen to music on the bus. The music we listen to is never Jewish.

"No I'm Catholic..."

One day I was sitting in my class at my desk being the good student that I am listeing to my teacher go on about yesterdays homework. Just as I was about to zone out of the hour my teacher said; "Okay class pick up your pencil and draw your neighborhood please."

Bageling Someone

Have you ever been asked, "Excuse me are you Jewish?" If you have I'm guessing that question either changed your life or greatly offended you. Your reply probably went somewhere along the lines;

"Why?"

"Of course I'm Jewish"

Well I mean my name is..."

"No leave me alone"
