i often read to that effect, especially when the thiefs of likud and qadima are singing their own praise!
why then the shnor?

[Yosef ben Matitya]

when i omitted to mention labor above, it was'nt that they are more honest, they just run an equally corrupt and less competent economy! the country was, and still is sdom.

I actually read the book few weeks ago before it came out. It actually touches of few things our supreme leader Shmarya mentioned, one of them that one of the existential dangers to Israel is the haredim who do not study secular studies and do not work therefore do not contribute to the society and drain resources from the society.

I found an error in the book where they say that Simeon Peres grew up in the Kibbutz which is wrong! Shimeon Peres born in Poland and moved to Israel as child but his family did not live in the kibbutz

Just a heads up. Fired up iTunes and went to "iTunes U" and saw that Yeshiva University has a collection of video lectures/shiurim free to download.

Hey Monsey Tzadik -
I was in Monsey on Sunday night, checking my oil in the parking lot of Rockland Kosher, when the tzaddik from Key-Tov locksmith told me that I needed to check the transmission fluid when it was hot. My wife and I were so impressed that there was a hareidi with a job! I explained that I was checking not the ATF but the oil, after my 350 mile drive, and it needed to be cold.
Is it common there for people to add their 2 cents when they have no idea what's happening?
Nice dinner at Monsey BBQ afterwards.

Lemme see...... ex-AIPACer Dan Senor shilled for W and the neo-cons in Iraq. Now, as a hedge fund and venture capital guy, he's shilling for the Israeli economy by which he apparently rakes in oodles of bucks!?

The guy is about as self-interested as one gets. So that seems to cast grave doubt on the impartiality of his observations about his money machine, Israel's economy.

One must also ask on who's behalf Senor is now shilling , for it seems more likely, based on the posts he has occupied, that he is a worker bee rather than a capitalist with money and interests on his own account.

Before I'd take one word of Senor's seriously about anything, I'd review his track record as CPA mouthpiece in the ongoing debacle in Mesopotamia.

so, well, maybe it's not the strongest in the world. i still don't understand: why the shnorr?

Wow, thanks for the heads up.

Speaking of heads up, Walmart will be selling an HP 15.6"/3gb ram/250gb HD laptop for an amazing $298 including Windows 7 - just in case you still did not recieve one yet.

Thanks!

It might surprise many, especially Lubavitchers, that the Rebbe clearly stated that the surest and safest place to invest ones money is Eretz Yisrael

[Shmarya]

Especially those thousands of Chabadniks who listened to what the Rebbe said about Joe Gutnik, and who then lost millions of dollars in what Barron's portrayed as an affinity scam.
