The Kibbitzer Photo Album XL

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to David complaining about the extra shwarma-sized toilet paper and people making money on Ben Yehuda in Israel, all while not supporting Chinuch education of children blowing Shofars they’re not buying, with the Kibbitzer's pictures of laughter from last month. We want to thank David Kilimnick for sharing his thoughts on why he can’t take off weight fast days, while eating.

That is a huge toilet paper roll they had by the sink at the restaurant in Israel. Shwarma will do that to you.

That guy is still having the going out of business sale. He’s been now going out of business for forty-three years... He even has new going out of business stickers. I’m just happy his business is thriving, and that he can afford the new signage. And more years of going out of business. He should get many years of use out of those signs… That guy has made it a point to sit there till they close the store. He's been waiting there the whole time.

When Chinuch, child education, goes too far. Now there is no way I am buying any of those Shofars… Real cute until I’m spending 300nis on a fourth graders’ spittle. And the mom is fine with it. Because she’s not buying it. And that guy walking by was about to buy the Shofar… Nachis is your child shooting phlegm in a store and you not having to pay.

Somehow, I put on weight last Yom Kippur. I find that I get fatter on fasts... I have to slow down the intake of my whole kitchen before and after the fast. And that was the first course. Then we brought out the leftover shwarma and pargiot, and Kugels. Then doubled up on the croutons. Plane croutons, just in case we starve over the next few hours. And we didn't clean up, as that takes away from pre-fast eating time. The not being able to eat for a day scares me. I’m always worried the rabbis will throw another Yom Kippur on us. Tzom Gedaliah truly has me worried.
