Let's take a stroll down memory lane to David complaining about people being religious and using Kosher laundry detergent, while he speaks of Israeli dancing requiring guns and graffiti not being the way to stop people from peeing on your wall, with Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for expressing support for religious Jewish models who come heavier.
Israeli dancing done properly, with guns, ready to defend against uncoordinated people who will hit you doing the Hora. Balancing the gun and not getting hit as you do the step-back is not easy... Note: More people get injured by uncontrolled Tallises in shul.
Do not question if I’m religious. My laundry detergent has Hashgacha. The OU and Rabbanut say it’s kosher. It doesn’t taste very good, but it’s kosher... Between us, I’m not a big fan of Alpine flavor Tide. Supersol Febreze detergent tastes better.
Graffiti has its own beauty in Israel. Though, it didn’t seem to touch my soul like the Kotel did… I’m sure the people peeing have Kavanah. Proper intent is quite important. Even so, I do question if graffiti is the proper way to protest peeing on walls. To be honest, if one were to ever pee in an alley, that looks like the right spot.
His modeling career took off with the Dr. Shtaygen’s collapsible Shtender. Some models are discovered in malls. Frum models are discovered in the Beit Midrash or at Essen on Coney... Different standards. The Frum model is going for a heavier, more not exercised, look.

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to David complaining about people not going for car washes in Israel, putting his stuff in storage and enemies that should die like gourds on Rosh Hashana, with Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for taking stones from a grave, so his ancestors will stones on their headstones.
That’s how you know the man is a true settler. A true Israeli settler never cleans his car... You can’t even read the license plate. Must be very right-wing.
Storage. That’s stuff I will never go through… Thought it was a good idea when I put it in there. At least it’s in Israel.
I was at the cemetery, and I had no stones. I was trying to figure out where people get the stones to put on top of the headstones. I want to thank Moishe for helping with the stones for my family... Somebody already emptied Eli and Louis' supply... Sorry I didn’t notice your grave before I needed the stones. LAlyas Nishama.
Our enemies should die like squash. They should be squashed like squash and die... I’m just working on the Rosh Hashana Simanim and my ability to curse enemies with vegetation. I feel like the gourd family allows me to get out my anger at our foes.

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to David complaining about Jews joining together in song, while enjoying the food at the rebbe's gravesite, with Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for complaining about people in Israel trying to make a living.
The Tisha BAv 'Kol HaOlam Koolo' song circle of love at the Kotel, killing my Davening. I can’t focus on prayers with that unity... Achdut truly ruins Kavanah.
I went to the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s Kever (gravesite) for the spread. My Kvitel was answered. Great breakfast. They had bagels and schmear. Rugulach. Great value.
How I knew a Simcha was about to happen. There was tons of dessert and it was all way too small for me to enjoy myself… They were individually wrapped, which made it hard for me to eat it all. I had to take each tiny cupcake holder separately. I had reservations taking the toothpicks out of the personally wrapped pastry, with people’s names on it. I hope Ruchel understands why she didn’t get her oat ball.
'End of the world sale' and people still won't part with their money. Tourists are still haggling... These guys at the shuk have it hard. I remember when the guy had a 'going out of business' sale for six years... Six years of having to go out of business. And the whole time he was still bringing in new product. Not easy to be going out of business that long. And then to have to stay in business after that. (Photo Credit: my sister-in-law, Esti)

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to kids at camp competing in color war and a non-racist Israeli getting blamed for loving Israel while dealing with a real war, with Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for complaining about Jewish magazines trying to make money.
I was just going to Deli Kasbah for dinner. For them to put up a whole welcoming sign... I didn't let the sign get to my ego. Though I appreciated the gesture and the Rebbe waving at me, I told them I’m not the Messiah. I felt it my religious duty to let them know.
A well put together cover page for a Jewish newspaper. I knew I was reading a Frum Jewish newspaper, as they found a way to fit 28 ads on the cover page. And the feature article is an ad for Amor jewelry... A properly written Jewish magazine should be advertisements. I once read a non-religious magazine, and I felt like a sinner when I read an article to only find there was no phone number at the end of it. I felt defiled… It’s a shame the Amor ad is so big. They could’ve got another 20 ads in.
Supporting the Israeli Army. Apparently, this guy never heard of political correctness... That kind of support for the Jewish people and Shalom in Israel will get you fired.
That's what Color War looks like nowadays. All the kids playing for the tie dye team... Tie dye shirts?! All the kids are playing for every team. Going to war against each other on the same team... That’s how kids compete nowadays. I can’t explain it either... I thought they were competing. Then I found out they were all on the same team. Still competing, but all on the same team???!!

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to the shul with the wicker design and Arab shuk shopping for what would be weapons if they weren’t a hundred years old, with Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for complaining about a birthday cake that people had the kindness to make for him.
The Shul Wicker Design. They thought the Kiddish basket pattern was proper for the shul... I couldn't take my eyes off it. All of Davening I couldn’t stop thinking about Kichel.
A picture adds ten pounds. Your picture on a birthday cake adds twenty pounds...
The Arab shuk in Yerushalayim... I question this concept of antiquities.
The American shopping cart. I needed that double size cart to put on the extra US requisite weight for living, and to hold the community size bag of chips... Need two toddler seats. Even the kids are twice the size at Costco.

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to Lag BOmer, Yom Yerushalayim and David eating ribs on a date like a fool with Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for complaining about religious Jews mourning the loss of the Temple and praying for its return.
Me on a date. Never sacrifice enjoyment when there’s meat on a bone... She took the picture. I asked her to. It was an excellent rib. I should have never let her go. She was definitely good at capturing the moment on camera.
That’s how you make a child cry on Lag BOmer... That is not a barber. Rebbes should not be cutting hair. There is no Gemara on cutting hair without leaving a cowlick.
They’re going to convict him for visiting the Kotel. They haven’t done that yet. They’ll definitely get him for that letter in the Kotel. Slipping classified documents into the wall. (Photo: Matty Stern/U.S. Embassy Tel Aviv)
Squatting at the Kotel. Just wrong. I hope they've left since Tisha BAv... And then the lounge chair. Were they having a picnic at the Kotel?

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to Pesach and how David cleans his home in Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for complaining about people sharing meaningful thoughts at the Seder and Mitzvahs like praying with Kavanah.
You want your Passover Shpritzes to be specific. The one with the lemon is for cleaning lemons. The one with the wood is for cleaning trees. The oven cleaner Shpritz takes off a layer of grease from your oven and your finger. That stuff is strong. It will take off a finger.
That Seder started in the 1970s. That's how long a Seder can take when everybody shares their thoughts about the four sons. (Photo: Ted Spiegel - Ted’s probably getting Karet for this picture, unless if they started the Seder a day early to fulfill the family's hankering for Matazh)... I do believe that the stuff in that kid's hair is not Kosher for Pesach.
Israel Memories: How my car made it to Carmiel that day. A beautiful Tiyul.
‘In this shul there is no talking during Tefillah and Torah reading’... That’s a shul that’s a little high on themselves. Patting themselves on the back.

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to see offensive costumes and how David is afraid to support Israel with the Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for complaining about Davening in a Minyin and the chance to do Mitzvahs like eating Matzah.
Why do you go to Kosher restaurants? I go to catch Minyin. I got to baseball games, weddings, and take flights for Maariv... I believe that Minyin ruined the five-star reputation of that restaurant. Kaddish kind of killed the forshpeis for that group of girls. And I don’t know if the guy was expecting to hear he was the tenth in the middle of his soup course.
Making a good Purim costume... Dress as people more Frum than you. They’re the crazy ones... I don’t know where the Amish Frum look started. Must be a Purim thing.
What ninety dollars looks like... Sorry. I am just complaining about the cost of a pound of Matzah. Next week will be the picture of a pound of machine Matzah with the heading ‘what two dollars looks like.’
I was going to put one up on my lawn, but I don’t know how to use my shotgun yet.

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to see how a Frum Jew looks when vacationing, admiring Frum toilets, while David complains about children giving Tzedakah with the Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for complaining about Mitzvot and boardgames that teach Mitzvot.
Giving Tzedakah, I like to know where the charity is going. That charity box in the front is for kids who need help with their artwork... Very poor artistic ability expressed in Jewish Day Schools, as seen with nuts on a slab of wood making a Chanukiah.
Bothersome. The prayer puzzles are a bit much when you’re teaching the kid the bedtime Shema and he has to do a puzzle at the same time. It’s impossible to fall asleep... The Mode Ani kid is filling up that bowl too much. There is no way he is not spilling that all over the house when he wakes up. And the true lesson is only boys have to do Mitzvahs.
A toilet that’s ready for Shabbis... If you never clogged a toilet, you haven’t kept Shabbat right.
A Frum tourist. That’s the look... shorts, Tzitzis out, and a baseball hat so people can’t figure out I’m Jewish. Next vacation we will be sporting the Frumer tourist look of black pants, a polo shirt, Tzitzit out and a baseball hat... The shorts are a dead giveaway I'm Jewish, with the extremely white legs.

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to see David’s thoughts on Israeli boardgames, puzzles and cards, while he complains about a rabbi trying to make the Super Bowl a beautiful Jewish experience, with the Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for complaining about Mitzvot and boardgames while our people are at war.
When education goes too far you have kids having fun with Temple replicas. At some point it’s not a game. It’s studying… You can’t fool me. I know Torah baseball was really just me answering questions of stuff you made me learn in Mishnah class.
‘Encyclopedia.’ That doesn’t seem like a fun game... No. Learning can’t be fun. There’s a reason Encyclopedias don’t make boardgames. I’m starting to think these Israeli boardgames are tricky ways to get Frum kids to study. With games like ‘Torah and Commentary’ no wonder some kids don’t have decent aerobic conditioning... And that kid sitting on the top of a world of Trivia Pursuit cards looks off. No child enjoys reading that much.
The card game of Mitzvot between man and man. My friend didn’t let me win the game. Which is why he lost. He treated me wrong. That’s the tricky part of the game. You win when you lose... I question if teaching kids card games is a good way teach how to not take advantage of other people. I don't think charging five dollars for a deck of cards helps either.
Collive.com shows rabbi prepping for the kosher Super Bowl party... We catch him serving pigskin. Disgusting. What Jews are willing to do for Kiruv nowadays.

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to see how David stops people from talking in shul, while he complains about Israeli boardgames and having to come home from Israel to mail, with the Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for complaining about puzzles educating children about how a Shabbat table looks.
The no talking in shul bookmark. The most passive aggressive gift to give during Davening. I could’ve just smacked him. Instead, I reminded him that he was poor, single and sick because he was talking in shul. And all I needed to tell him that was a bookmark about being a good Jew... I walked over and kindly gave it to the guy during Chazaras HaShas. He then started a conversation with me, asking, ‘Why are you giving me a bookmark for my Siddur. Siddurs don’t need bookmarks'... To Note: This is the most useful item for people who talk in shul. It’s not always easy to find where the congregation is at, after a conversation during Shacharit.
The front door after a week in Israel. That’s what the top layer looks like.
'Let’s Dress Yoni.' How about we do that?! Why is Yoni never dressed? Is this a game or just not proper, immodest dress?... I think his parents are manipulating him. The sequel is called Let’s Tie Yoni’s shoes. The series continues with Let’s See Yoni Eat His Chicken and Let’s See Yoni Eat Vegetables Before He Gets Dessert. And the last in the series, Let’s See Yoni Pray the Shema and Go To Sleep While Not Disturbing His Parents.
The ‘Father of Shabbat’ puzzle. This is how they teach who the head of the household is at nursery schools in Israel. And you wonder why nobody respects their elders anymore.

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to support for Israel by wearing Tzizit or a flag, and the joy of lighting Chanukah candles within the reach of babies, with the Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for complaining about chocolate covered coins that everybody else likes.
Wearing Israeli flags. Showing their support for Israel at the rally in DC. It would’ve been smarter if they brought coats. Based on my experience as a Zionist, flags don’t work as good windbreakers... Now looking at it. All the people with jackets don't truly care. The real supporters of Israel don't need coats.
Chocolate coins have to be the biggest rip off. Inflation on this currency is beyond explanation. And 7-Eleven still doesn’t take chocolate as legal tender.
That’s what soldiers look like when they’re going to war in comfortable undershirt Tzitzit. Unity. Smiling and happy, with an unkempt beard… If the Palestinians would just be able to enjoy a decent thread count of cotton like our soldiers…
No shul family event should start until there’s fire for kids to run around... Whoever thought the three-month-old lighting is a good idea. Even Beit Shamai would be against that (probably the biggest diss in Judaism- bringing in Beit Shamai just hurts). (photo: jewishboston.com)

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to the pain and Yachdut of last month, as David finds a way to make solidarity of the children of Israel with the soldiers something not positive, with the Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for reminding us how much people hate us.
Cars everywhere. The reserves are called up, and the Israeli heroes show for duty. And they got parking tickets. Note: This last part is a joke. The police haven’t given out tickets to the reservists around the country. It’s not like they’re parking in Jerusalem. (sometimes you get into trouble when you don’t tell people that a joke is a joke- next time I'll give people advice on where to steal cars- I'll get into less trouble)
Proud soldiers, expressing their love of Israel with the Israeli flag, sporting all the drawings of support the Israeli kids made for them on the tank... just killing the camouflage.
I am guessing she disagrees... Kind of hard to have a discussion with her about women’s rights in Israel. I have a feeling she is undecided as to whether the Supreme Court in Israel should have less power.
Pallywood is so much fun. They're having a ball... That dead guy lost his next gig because he was smiling too much. You don’t want your friends around when you’re dead, making you laugh... Man. How do I get a job in Pallywood? It looks like so much fun. (Shared: Ofir Gendelman's X)

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to the holidays with David’s visit to the graves before Rosh Hashana, his spotting of a Shofar bag in Jerusalem and the Tefillah overlooking the Old City that only David would complain about, with the Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for complaining about everything you enjoyed over the Chagim.
Somebody asked me what תנצבה means... 5547 was not a good year for Jewish people. It looks like they all passed away in 1787... Whatever it means, their souls should be bound in the bond of life.
The Jerusalem Shofar carrying bag and water bottle. Perfect for when you need to blow the Shofar on a Tiyul. (saying something about a Shofar on a hike was where our creativity on this joke came to a halt)
Not one happy face. That’s what it looks like when you’ve got to sit next to people in shul on Yom Kippur. When they don’t give you an armrest and you’ve paid two hundred dollars. When the Chazin has a good voice... Anger. (Photo: sauderworship.com)
I believe the sax added twenty-five minutes to Hallel. Lesson: Never join a synagogue that has more than a one-piece band... At least we had a beautiful view overlooking Yerushalayim. That made it easier to space out forty minutes into Hallel.

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to the JNF Tzedakah box, children being allowed to choose what they eat, and other ways of extorting money from your children like My First Lotto, with the Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for sharing his anger about giving Tzedakah to Israel, and how he feels about putting roof scraps on a grave of holy rabbi. The stone shortage is a real thing.
The JNF Tzedakah box. One of Israel’s artifacts. The foundation of Israel fundraising. The Jewish National Fund as been doing it for well over fifty years. They were already finding ways to extort money from your child in the first grade then... This is why kids were asking parents for money in the 40s too. (photo: collection of Avraham Goren- in the Forward)
What your kid bought at the canteen when the camp gave them a tab. They did give your child the salad bar option. Yet, your child chose this... How your child came back from sports camp fifteen pounds heavier... Why camp cost you an extra 2K. How you went broke, sending your kid away for three weeks… What allowing a nine-year-old to have a tab can do.
My First Lotto... They start the kids young in Israel. Get them hooked at three. We are not saying we support this. However, it helps the economy...
When you can't find a rock to put on the grave... Rav Kook's Yahrzeit and they’re leaving their building scraps… Recycling would be the proper thing to do. It should be for an Aliyas Nishama.

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to the Zionists with the American flag shawls, what Simchas look like when nobody wants to be there, and what it looks like when Romans are trying to destroy Jerusalem, with the Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for sharing his knowledge on when you can tell non-religious relatives will be getting an Aliyah.
Be it Yom HaAtzmaut or July 4th, the Degel Blanket is always comfortable. No greater way to show your support for Israel than the 1,500 thread count flag.
You can tell by the Kippah height, one of the relatives at that Bar Mitzvah is messing up Barchu. (mitzvahrabbi.com)
The Temple is being destroyed and they're playing tug of war with the Menorah... Something is off with this scene. Are they just killing people?! Does Caeser with his red shawl notice? Even he's a bit surprised there, looking around at the barbaric people. 'I just told them to take over the Temple. I didn't tell them stab the guy lighting the Menorah.' Either that, or he's trying very hard to protect the shawl. (Painting: Francesco Hayez)
That's what the Bdeking before the wedding looks like. He's worried if that's his bride. He has no idea... I believe I heard him say, 'I'm going to get my parents fro this one. I can't believe they put me up to this.' (photo: Marc Israel Sellem)

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to the Israeli falafel joint and the traditional Jewish American butcher, Israeli games that educate Jewish children about how to gamble, with the Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for sharing his potential Shidduchs with us.
The Falafel of Eitan. Israelis are very possessive of their falafel. Even when they have a shop, they don't like to share it… That's Eitan. Standing over them while they eat. Making sure they don't run away with his falafel.
Lotto, put out by the Israeli lottery as a gateway game, much more effective than Dreidel. The game focuses on holidays and prepares your five-year-old to play the lottery, in hopes that they will win be able to afford holiday food. Matzah and cheesecake are very expensive nowadays.
Thirty-year-old I met on JDate... Her profile said she was thirty.
That’s how they used to smoke meat... Note. The butchers used to hang the meat. This way you knew it was chicken. (photo: Library of Congress)

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to Lag BOmer angry sarcasm, and Shavuot and how Pesach and how cheesecake turns people Jewish, with the Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for sharing that non-Kosher cafes are Jewish. That should help with our Kiruv project.
Now this a Jewish Cafe... There is nothing more Jewish than eating Treif. I have never met a non-Jew who told me they had Treif for dinner.
The Lag BOmer tradition of burning homes... Yes. That was somebody's door before the kids got to it.
This is what it looks like when citizens of Jerusalem walk in their city on Jerusalem Day with pride. You'll hear about this violent protest of children waving flags and singing 'Jerusalem of Gold', offending citizens of Jerusalem, in the news this Friday. (Photo: Lior Mizrahi/Getty)
That's what it looks like when you see a decent piece of cheesecake, and that is why people love Shavuot (not the learning). And that is why people become a Baal Teshuva. And then they start to keep Shabbat and eat meat. (Photo: eatthisny.com)

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to Pesach and how David went broke on mayonnaise, and how to save money on a car by using the shopping cart to bring the groceries home, with the Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for sharing the fact that he stole shopping carts in Israel.
That is how the punchline of a Jewish joke should look. Like you're questioning something, dealing with serious stomach issues, or giving a sermon.
I knew Pesach was coming when... I had to pay $11 for mayonnaise. And that is the sale price… Any Pesach food less than eighty dollars is a deal... There must be Matzah in the mayonnaise.
The fridge is full again, and it all cost less than a pound of Matzah.
No need for a car. Supermarket carts in Israel only cost ten shekels. Put 10nis in the cart and it's yours. And it fits the groceries perfectly... The carts are the best deal at Shufersal. Better than their sales on drinks and nuts.

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to Bar Mitzvah scarf Tallises, Yeshiva Shtenders and Egypt, for Purim’s sake, with the Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for sharing his hand with us. We are sorry you have to see what happens when you use oven cleaner.
The most inspirational Makom I have ever seen. That’s how a Shtender should look. A podium with a closet on the table... The modern Shtender should reach the neck. The Yeshiva Bachurs should never have to bend when learning. Average Yeshiva Bachur height 5'4". Average Shtender 5'10"… The idea is to take up your Makom and whatever surrounding area you can with furniture. An office chair on rollers is the perfect addition, letting people know that is your side of the Beit Midrash. Pacing and knocking into people while they’re learning also helps.
When we were slaves in Egypt, everybody was wearing costumes, all the time. Look at them. No shame. Every day is Halloween... Apparently, that's a painting of Yitziyat Mitzrayim. Between us, they had the worst artists in Egypt. No attention to detail, they saw people in flat. It looks like the illustrator from South Park worked on that piece.
We want to thank the Jewish Heritage Center for this picture. After much research, we have finally come across the origins of the scarf Tallis. They forced it on the Bar Mitzvah boys when taking Simcha pictures, just in case a storm hit… As you can see, the Chazin in the middle refused to wear one, as it looked too foolish… I believe those kids were the foundation of the Jewish Mafia.
That is two seconds of oven cleaner, and I am scarred. When Pesach cleaning, be careful. The oven cleaner will take off a layer of grease from your oven, and your finger… I had to replantate my index finger last Pesach, after ensuring my kitchen was Kosher for the holiday. The picture does not capture the pain I am in. (We're sorry you had to see David's hand. It's a bothersome sight.)

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to Zoom meetings with people wearing masks, Turkish coffee and pantries on front lawns, with the Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for sharing his anger at people trying to feed the poor.
We don’t play Connect Four. We play Four in One Line. In Israel, we explain the games. Otherwise, I'm trying to figure out how these things connect. They're supposed to connect in a line. And I know that now... And there is a sale on it too?! Fun doesn't get better.
Mask on Zoom Meeting... Nothing says care for life as much as wearing a mask when you're alone in your house, meeting with people virtually. It says you care about the Bar Mitzvah boys health. Maybe they didn’t want anybody to know they were there, and they didn't know about the no video feature.
Turkish coffee... How is there more coffee in the coffee when I finished my coffee than when I started the coffee. I did not put in that much coffee.
Tiny. That’s the new American food pantry. The pantry on the front lawn with a can. That's what the poor people get now. If they’re lucky, they can find a can of peas and carrots to feed the family for dinner… Nobody likes peas carrots. Why they bought it, I don’t know. People like peas. People like carrots Now poor people are stuck spending their day splitting up peas and carrots… I was disappointed. I thought I was going to take out a book. Maybe read some Dr. Seuss. I end up with peas and carrots. I’m mad. I wanted green eggs and ham (kosher ham). Now I’m stuck reading a label. There are no books about green peas and carrots I am I am. Because nobody likes them. They don't identify with them… This pantry has salt. Salt?! Reading 'give what you can,' it appears people were able to part with salt and paprika to help feed the poor families. Now the poor people are malnourished, with parched throats... I am very bothered by charity right now.

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to our trip to Israel, shopping for a brand named after the sale and skewer safety, with the Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for sharing his shopping experience at Walmart.
Saving up for Shabbis... When you have a lot of kids you buy the store brand. When you have twelve kids, you buy Great Value. Why the brand name is the advertisement for the sale is hard to explain... Walmart may be too embarrassed to put their name on it, but we are proud of the huge family. Truth be told, I saw the ‘Great Value’ and I didn’t even need a brand. If they had a brand 80% Off, all my clothes would be 80% Off. And that would be the style the kids wore to school. 80% Off written right on the shirt pocket... They may be embarrassed to put their name on it, but I am not embarrassed to eat it. And I also bought the Equate toothpaste. So much cheaper than Sensodyne, even if it doesn't clean teeth. I take pride in Walmart. It's my supermarket. I would find it a waste if I couldn't pick up my groceries and fish tackle. And I take greater pride in my FUBU sneakers I picked up as I finished shopping for the cottage cheese. I feel like I am making the world a better place with those shoes. If I didn't buy those kicks there would be third graders in Asia without jobs. It's my way of giving back... And yes, that's a Walmart still life.
Perfect bus seat technique. That's how you keep others away, and enjoy the comfort of Egged... He has his bag under his arm, working as an armrest and person. Headphones to not hear 'I need a seat.' He is looking straight, avoiding all eye contact... allowing him to read the sign in front of him that says 'stand before old people'... Between us. I never understood why the second seat is not just a bag holder.
And they still couldn't figure out that he was Jewish. The baseball hat camouflage works. That’s how you do it. That’s how you hide the black hat. Either that or people in New York have seen this before too.
Skewers are dangerous, and should not be handled by children without parental supervision. Kids should eat schnitzel only... Even if skewers are called Shipuds in Israel, to make them sound more friendly, they are still dangerous. And with the volatile situation in Israel, people should be IDed before they're allowed a Shipud.

The Kibbitzer Photo Album XVI11/25/2022
Let's take a stroll down memory lane back to Parshat Chayei Sarah and good times at graves in Israel, the board games of Israel, and how people at David's shul will do anything to park in a handicap spot, with the Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for sharing his anger at the congregants, and the amazing Israeli board games that teach our children that you need another person to play the game with.
Even the smilies have Yarmulkes in Israel. It's about educating the kids, and smilies are Jewish... Teaching children to get along with others, this is Memory for Two. We don’t play Memory by ourselves in Israel. It’s not a one-person game. It’s a group game. Sharing… Is it ‘for two people’ or ‘to remember two places on the board’? Either way, two is the number… I don’t understand how people are playing competitive memory for one in other countries. Are they flipping the cards and saying to themselves ‘I found one. That’s it. I won.’? That’s just cheating.
That game took me a while to figure out. I guess we do have Monopoly in Israel. They just got rid of the 'y'... Correct, Monopol is Monopoly in Hebrew, which is why it costs an extra $35... They have a space for the Jerusalem light rail. Nobody buys it, because when the other players land on it they never pay, unless if they get caught.
Exactly. That's exactly what the people at shul do. The sign explains it. You only need the permit. The permit and enough health to walk. That's how healthy people in our shul understand the sign. Display the permit. That's what you need to do. No wheelchair. Just a permit. A graphic of somebody with a wheelchair. Park and display the permit and run to Minyin... You need the tag. You need your health and a sticker you got from family. Preferably a member from the family who’s not healthy… All I know is I never see a wheelchair coming out of that spot. The people in wheelchairs are usually being pushed from the other side of the lot.
This is how religious Jews party in Israel. They go to gravesites. Be it Parshat Chayei Sarah, a Sukkot concert, or just a good times night out in Hebron or up north by the Rashbi's tomb with some Hisbodidus and rugulach. It’s always good times at the Beit Kvarot… Sometimes there’s some good schnapps. They love it. ‘What are you doing tonight?’ ‘I’m hitting the Rambam’s grave.’

The Kibbitzer Photo Album XV10/28/2022
Let's take a stroll down memory lane back to Yom Kippur and Sukkot, parents using their strollers to block the entrance of the shul, and Amazon leaving your packages where your neighbors can take them, with the Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for sharing his anger at happiness expressed at the Kotel and little kids helping build Sukkahs.
Designated stroller parking area. Something every shul needs, so I can get through the entrance on Yom Kippur... Truth is they should have stroller parking all the time. Parents think the entrance is the right spot for strollers. Right where the door opens. Right at the spot where I can get in… Problem: Merv and Bernie will end up parking there. They already take the disabled parking spots and walk just fine. To get the good spot, when it comes to parking every member of our congregation is disabled. If they see the opportunity to park in the shul, they’ll be toddlers if they have to...
Child labor is wrong, even if you're teaching them to build a Sukkah. Using children to save money is wrong… Chinuch has limits.
The Kol HaOlam Koolo circle at the Kotel. Beautiful. And it killed my Davening... I couldn't concentrate on my prayers, thanks to this act of brotherly love… This is what Yeshiva kids do now, with Tefillin on. A Hora. Shameful. I asked them to stop, as I won't part with tradition for shalom... When did singing and dancing start take the place of davening? Oy. How can you pray the Amida, circle dancing?... Side Note: It was nice to see them all together, holding hands, all different types and streams of people, all with kippot srugot (knitted yarmulkes). Even if they were Apikorsim, and not rebuking anybody for this heretical form of davening with smiles, the love took over the Kotel. Nobody attacked them, asides from myself. And yes, I am worried for the future of the Jewish people, with this kind of behavior from kids in the army.
Some stuff I never got... Amazon left those outside my front door on Simchat Torah, for my neighbors. I hope my neighbors also appreciate the Kleenex I purchased for them a few weeks back.

The Kibbitzer Photo Album XIV9/30/2022
Let's take a stroll down memory lane back to our trip to the Jewish Homeland, Rosh Hashana, and Israel's commitment to cats, with the Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for sharing how he isn't willing to donate money, even when the nonprofit gives him a calendar.
National pride can truly ruin the camouflage
The scary thing about the Mifletzet (Jerusalem's famous monster slide) is that new huge building right above it, falling on it… I was never scared of the Mifletzet until now.
Israel is the most cat friendly country... Many people used to be scared of cats. Scared to throw out trash in Jerusalem. Scared to get attacked for leftover scraps. Now, we appreciate what Israel does for the preservation of the feline. New Deli, we thank you for what you do for your kindness to animals, and your excellent burgers... To note: The tables were full of food. Not one person cleaned their table for the half hour the cat was there.
Rosh Hashanah is coming up and I now have enough calendars. To note, they will not get any donations from me. At least until they start sending books about rabbis again, they’re getting nothing from me... I apologize to all. I had more calendars, but I threw some of them out when I realized they all had the same date for Yom Kippur… Side Notes: I shall not fall for this calendar mailing scheme this year. Until they go back to sending me books, they're getting nothing... And somebody please tell them that once somebody goes to Olam Haba (the world to come), they can't send you money anymore. LAliyas Nishama to all of those who have moved to Olam HaNishamot (world of the souls) and are still receiving letters from Jewish organizations (they never give up).

Esav was mad his Birthright didn’t allow him a free trip to Israel… He was already there. You get it? Esav sold his birthright to Yaakov. Birthright gives free trips to Israel. Esav didn’t get that. That’s probably the reason he was mad at Yaakov. If he wasn’t living in Israel, he still wouldn’t have got it. They didn’t have Birthright back then. 
His modeling career took off with the Dr. Shtaygen’s collapsible Shtender. Some models are discovered in malls. Frum models are discovered in the Beit Midrash or at Essen on Coney... Different standards. The Frum model is going for a heavier look.

Speaking Lashon Hara is like ripping a pillow open and letting feathers fly all over. You don’t know where they all go. You can't collect them... teaching that you can repent for Lashon Hara by littering. Ripping up pillows and throwing trash on the street does not stop Lashon Hara from spreading.
