Gan Rebbe
As the time for school year applications for next year approaches, many members of Rebbe's army are currently mulling their options for where to send their children. ASHAR, where, for decades, tender kinderlach were fed frozen pizza wheels and stapler weilding, kibbutz hardened female Israeli army veterans reigned supreme, is is no longer an option (due to fire, snags, and the retirement of Mrs. Needleman). And do we really want Trinidadian ladies tending to our sweet ones, with their yashka necklaces waving in our childrens' faces as they pick them up from their strollers?
The answer, of course, is Gan Rebbe. But while Rebbe can light up our childrens' faces with Rebbe Nachman stories in the afternoon, after shiur, who will safeguard the future of the revolution in the mornings?
I nominate Vanil Yogurt as Apple Juice monitor.

Yidden-
As the minister of Propaganda, aka Tati, and I were talking about RRRR plans, something dawned on me. I don't know if you are aware, but there is a website called chucknorrisfacts.com. On this site, one can see all sorts of facts regarding the great Chuck Norris, like "When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris," or my personal favorate: "When Bruce Banner gets angry, he turns into the Incredible Hulk. When the Incredible Hulk gets angry, he turns into Chuck Norris. " My question is why on earth isn't there a Rebbe Reichman Facts website? I mean, c'mon! For example, quoting one of the stories hidden in the "collection of Rebbe Tales,": "Rebbe doesn't need a challah knife to make Ha'Motzi. All Rebbe does is look at the challah, and a piece immediately cuts itself." Just as the legend of Chuck Norris is embedded in society, so too should the Tales of Rebbe. Who knows? Maybe in a few years we can have Rebbe in a situation like this.

The jury is still out on whether this is a cracking of the klipah or nitzosos being grabbed. All we know for sure is: Tzarich Iyun Gadol.

number 49
Rebbe grew up davening in a chadishe shteeble. It is common to find "loud" davening in these shteebles while in other more litvish shuls the sound is a lot more quite. When Rebbe first got to YU, Rebbe encountered a little bit of culture shock. After praying shacharis in Rebbe's usual manner, an older man approached and told Rebbe that if he continues to daven this way he is going to have him thrown out of the beis midrash.

WHO IS THIS MAN?
I know there is a boston crew bc i recall a story of a certain man...that after work he was able to go to the sam adams brewery pub and have a frosty one.
"Yitzhak Aharon Korff is the Rebbe of Zvhil – Mezhbizh. He serves as chaplain of the City of Boston and spiritual leader of Congregation Bnai Jacob, Zvhil–Mezhbizh Beis Medrash of Boston and Newton, Massachusetts. He is a dayan (judge of Jewish law) of Boston’s Beth din (rabbinical court) and Vaad HaRabbonim (council of rabbis). He is also Consul General to the government of Austria and publisher of the Boston-based Jewish newspaper The Jewish Advocate.Shari Redstone whom he divorced, is the daughter of Sumner Redstone Chairman of the Board and controlling shareholder of the Viacom and CBS Corporation media conglomerates, and is also the majority owner of Midway Games and is the owner of the National Amusements theater chain.
The Rebbe's second wife, the Rebbetzin, is a native of Jerusalem and a descendant of the Baal Shem Tov and the Hasidic dynasties of Zvhil, Zlotshev, and Tshernobl. She is the daughter of the Shomer Emunim Rebbe, Grand Rabbi Avrohom Chayim Roth of Jerusalem and Bnei Brak, who is the son of Reb Arele. Her mother, the Shomrei Emunim Rebbetzin, Rabbi Korff's third cousin, is the daughter of the previous Zvhiler Rebbe of Jerusalem, Rabbi Mordechai.He was educated at Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin, Yeshivas Beis Mordechai (Zvhil) of Jerusalem, and was tutored privately by masters of Hasidism and Kabbalah.
In addition, the Rebbe has a Ph.D., two law degrees, and several Masters degrees, from Columbia University, Harvard University, Boston University, The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy and other institutions.
Rabbi Korff simultaneously combined careers as a rabbi, chaplain, lawyer, diplomat, businessman and entrepreneur, and subsequently also inherited his grandfather's position as a Hasidic Rebbe."
So who is this individual and what does his stationary look like?

The Clopping Jews
As I waited for the clop on the bimah or some other hard surface as I took off my tefillin day, to signal the start of mussaf, and as I listened to the clop before shemoneh esraih of shacharis, to remind the rest of us to say yaaleh veyavo, I thought to myself: what kinds of Jews are the ones who take it upon themselves to clop for the rest of us? Who is the Jew that looks forward to being the first one to slam his hand down onto a bimah, siddur or anything else that makes noise?
In Fair Lawn, the yiddle who clops is a stocky man who usually grimaces as he walks and grunts at you between bites of chulent on shabbos at the downstairs minyan kiddush. This is a Jew we need on our team.

Psalm 92 or how i learnt to love Rebbe
I was sitting on my couch davening byichudus maariv, i finished then i started saying Psalm 92. I have heard Rebbe several times talk about the importance of saying and internalizing Psalm 92. I was with Rebbe at an airport one time, when a) i think i saw mel brooks and b) Rebbe said saying Psalm 92 is good, but saying it 7 times is even better. So back to the night, I was up to number 5 when I get a phone call at 12...Rebbe had just arrived from Israel. He told me wonder-full things.
Now- wasnt it Order 66 that took out the Jedi-if you do the gemetria of Chewbackas middle name and...
