Over 125 hits in just 4 hours and NOT ONE COMMENT! What are you all afraid of, Mrs Jacobs will say it's lashon harah?! C'mon!!

Please daven!

All jokes aside, please be mispalel for Rabbi Bayer amu"sh: Yeshaya Dovid ben Channah who had a massive heart attack and is in need of a yeshuah.

The ancient sinks.

Very different from the old days. The faucets were changed, for starters. The old faucets were tall, goose-neck type, that were so old they barely turned. The knobs were on the side and creaked loudly as they were turned. Another change is the noticeable absence of the ancient bars of soap! Those once-white bars were streaked with black grime, probably used twice in their "life", were practically glued to the soap holders.
Not much more can be said of these sinks other than the twice daily paper-towel-induced clogging of the drain and the method of students approach to wash in these sinks. The method I refer to is the way we would come down the stairs and then weave in and out of the rows of tables to get to the sink.

לא תגנוב, מ'טאהר נישט....

Sorry for not posting in a while. Here is a typical Bais Dovid phenomenon. A "kid" found a "superball", probably on one of the "courts" during "lunch recess". After hearing the infamous "לא תגנוב-מ'טאהר נישט טרעפען" line from more than one rebbe, he decided to hang up a sign. Not having any paper handy he goes into the front office and asks the "office lady" for some paper. Without hesitation she hands him a check stub from the general account, probably the one that pays for the No. 2 pencils. He then proceeds to write the sign. I can't figure out how he wrote this because: 1) standard kids don't have pens, only 3 sharpened pencils for "English", and 2) rebbes only have Parker pens to lend.

The clincher, of course, is the "נישט אין די צייט פון לערנען". 

We sincerely hope that nobody came to claim this ball for 30 days, although he forgot the most important part "only with simanim", and that he is now enjoying the ball himself. At least until he plays with it during "chavrusos" and it gets confiscated and interred in the wide drawer in the rebbe's desk.....
