Seniors....Laugh Away
Get ready to laugh.
SENIORS UNDER ATTACK
THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY!
We Must Stop This Immediately !
Have you noticed that stairs are getting steeper . Groceries are heavier . And, everything is farther away. Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become!
And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young ones. They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak up they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same silent message until they're red in the face! What do they think I am, a lip reader?
I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I ran into an old friend the other day and she has aged so much that she didn't even recognise me.
I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own reflection well, REALLY NOW - even mirrors are not made the way they used to be!
Another thing, everyone drives so fast these days! You're risking life and limb if you happen to pull onto the freeway in front of them. All I can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see them screech and swerve in my rear view mirror.
Clothing manufacturers are less civilised these days. Why else would they suddenly start labelling a size 32 waist pant as 40? Do they think no one notices? The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank.. Do they think I actually 'believe' the number I see on that dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that much! Just who do these people think they're fooling?
I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on -- but the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed the phone books in such small type that no one could ever find a number in there!
All I can do is pass along this warning: WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!
Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone will have to suffer these awful indignities.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
SO WE CAN GET THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED!
PS: I am sending this to you in a larger font size, because something has happened to my computer's fonts - they are smaller than they once were.Thank you.

How Old Is Grandma
How Old is Grandma?
Stay with this -- the answer is at the end. It will blow you away.
One evening a grandson was talking to his grandmother about current events.
The grandson asked his grandmother what she thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general.
The Grandmother replied, "Well, let me think a minute, I was born before:
' television
' penicillin
' polio shots
' frozen foods
' Xerox
' contact lenses
' Frisbees and
' the pill
There were no:
' credit cards
' laser beams or
' ball-point pens
Man had not yet invented:
' pantyhose
' air conditioners
' dishwashers
' clothes dryers
' and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and
' man hadn't yet walked on the moon
Your Grandfather and I got married first, and then lived together.
Every family had a father and a mother.
Until I was 25, I called every man older than me, "Sir."
And after I turned 25, I still called policemen and every man with a title, "Sir."
We were before gay-rights, computer-dating, dual careers, daycare centers, and group therapy.
Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense.
We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand up and take responsibility for our actions.
Serving your country was a privilege; living in this country was a bigger privilege.
Having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with your cousins.
Time-sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends -not purchasing condominiums.
We never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CD's, electric typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings.
We listened to Big Bands on our radios.
And I don't ever remember any kid blowing his brains out listening to Tommy Dorsey.
If you saw anything with 'Made in Japan ' on it, it was junk.
The term 'making out' referred to how you did on your school exam.
Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and instant coffee were unheard of.
We had 5 &10-cent stores where you could actually buy things for 5 and 10 cents.
Ice-cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar, and a Pepsi were all 5 cents
And if you didn't want to splurge, you could spend your 5 cents on enough stamps to mail 1 letter and 2 postcards.
You could buy a new Ford Coupe for $600, but who could afford one?
Too bad, because petrol was 4 cents a litre
In my day:
' "grass" was mowed,
' "coke" was a cold drink,
' "pot" was something your mother cooked in and
' "rock music" was your grandmother's lullaby.
' "Aids" were helpers in the Principal's office,
' "chip" meant a piece of wood,
' "hardware" was found in a hardware store and.
' "software" wasn't even a word.
And we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby.
No wonder people call us "old and confused" and say there is a generation gap.
How old do you think I am?
I bet you have this old lady in mind. You are in for a shock!
Read on to see -- pretty scary if you think about it and pretty sad at the same time.
Are you ready?????
This woman would be only 61 years old,Born in 1952.
GIVES YOU SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. PASS THIS ON TO THE OLD ONES.
THE YOUNG ONES WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

THE CITIZENSHIP TEST
Saul Epstein was taking an oral exam in his English as a Second Language class. He was asked to spell "cultivate," and he spelled it correctly. He was then asked to use the word in a sentence, and, with a big smile, responded: "Last vinter on a very cold day, I vas vaiting for a bus, but it was too cultivate, so I took the subway home."
MOISHE
Moishe Goldberg was heading out of the Synagogue one day, and as always Rabbi Mendel was standing at the door, shaking hands as the Congregation departed. The rabbi grabbed Moishe by the hand, pulled him aside and whispered these words at him: "You need to join the Army of God!"
Moishe replied: "I'm already in the Army of God, Rabbi."
The rabbi questioned: "Then how come I don't see you except for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur?"
Moishe whispered back: "I'm in the secret service."
Rebbe Story Monsieur
Monsieur
I was born in 1934 in the village of Vizhnitz, Ukraine. When I was a small boy, my parents immigrated to Antwerp, Belgium. Belgium had a large Jewish community — some 50,000 Jews lived in Antwerp at that time — and they hoped to have a better life there.
Unfortunately, our stay did not last long. In 1940, the Germans invaded Belgium and immediately began deporting and killing Jews. So everybody started running. We ran across the border to France.
I was only six years old at the time, but I was old enough to realize that we were fleeing for our lives.
We made our way to Marseilles where my grandmother — that is, my mother’s mother — and also my mother’s sister lived. A group of Lubavitcher chasidim lived there, and we were welcomed warmly. But the problem was there was nothing for us there. By nothing, I mean that with the war going on there was not enough food, and also not enough adequate shelter to handle the influx of all the refugees. We moved from house to house, from place to place. A few months later the Nazis invaded Paris, and the situation got even worse.
In the midst of all this chaos and upheaval, my family was forced to split up. Only after the war did I get to see them again. Meanwhile, I was sent to an orphanage in Marseilles.
The orphanage housed some forty or maybe fifty children, many of them as young as three and four years old. Some of them knew that their parents had been killed; others didn’t know what became of their mother or father. Often, you would hear children crying, calling out for their parents who were not there to answer.
As the days wore on, the situation grew more and more desperate, and food became more and more scarce. Many a day we went hungry.
And then, in the beginning of the summer of 1941, a man came to the rescue. We did not know his name; we just called him “Monsieur,” which is French for “Mister.” Everyday, Monsieur would arrive with bags of bread — the long French baguettes — and tuna or sardines, sometimes potatoes too. He would stay until every child had eaten.
Some of the kids were so despondent, they didn’t want to eat. Those children, he used to take on his lap, tell them a story, sing to them, and feed them by hand. He made sure everybody was fed. With some of the kids, he’d sit next to them on the floor and cajole them to eat, even feeding them with a spoon, if need be. He was like a father to these sad little children.
He knew every child by name, even though we didn’t know his. We loved him and looked forward to his coming. I remember there was a kid who was jealous. He also wanted to sit on Monsieur’s lap and hear songs and stories. So he pretended not to eat, in order to get his attention.
Monsieur came back day after day for several weeks. And I would say that many of the children who lived in the orphanage at that time owe their lives to him. If not for him, I, for one, wouldn’t be here.
Eventually the war ended, and I was reunited with my family. We left Europe and began our lives anew. In 1957, I came to live in New York, and that’s when my uncle suggested that I meet the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Of course I agreed and scheduled a time for an audience with the Rebbe’s secretary.
At the appointed date, I came to the Chabad Headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway and sat down to wait. I read some Psalms and watched the parade of men and women from all walks of life who had come to see the Rebbe. Finally, I was told it was my turn, and I walked into the Rebbe’s office.
He was smiling, and immediately greeted me: “Dos iz Dovidele! — It’s Dovidele!”
I thought, “How does he know my name?” And then I nearly fainted. I was looking at Monsieur. The Rebbe was Monsieur! And he had recognized me before I had recognized him. It was unbelievable.
Later on I learned how he came to be in Marseilles. He and the Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka were trying to escape Nazi Europe. In order to arrange the necessary documents, he was travelling back and forth between Nice and Marseilles. He must have found out about the orphanage and the plight of us poor children, andhe came to our rescue.
I heard that after the Rebbe’s passing, a notebook with his handwriting was discovered. These notes covered every aspect of Torah and delved into Jewish philosophy, Kabbalah and the Talmud. Incredibly, many of these notes were written at the very time when the Rebbe was in France, at the beginning of the war. It’d mind-boggling to me that even amid all that chaos, he remained devoted to Torah study.
But what is even more remarkable to me is that a scholar of such magnitude would — at the same time — busy himself with delivering bags of food and personally feeding small orphans. He never forgot that saving lives is of primary concern. And I shall forever be grateful that he saved mine and because of him, I, thank G-d, have many children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Rabbi Dovid Aaron Neuman lives with his family in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. He was interviewed in his home in November of 2013.

Obamachashverosh
> The Story Of ‘King Obamachashverosh’ Year 2015
> And it was in the days of Obamachashverosh, ruler of 50 states from Alaska until Wyoming. An e-invite was sent to all his contacts to join him at a party. He tweeted his wife to come wearing her crown and google glasses. She rejected the call. In a fury, he commanded Verizon to disconnect her wifi.
> And so, Obamachashverosh needed a new first lady. Emails were sent throughout the land, “All suitable maidens must submit a Youtube Video of themselves; the one who his highness finds most worthy will become the new First Lady of the US.
> Esther, however, who grew up in the house of Mordechai did not have internet in her home. However, she needed to work on her speech therapy courses so she went to her “frei” cousins house to go online. It was there that the moderators detected her and demanded her to send in her video.
> Obamachashverosh liked Esther best. He filtered through all the other maidens of the land and downloaded Esther’s profile onto his Iphone.
> And it came to pass that Mordechai hacked into a chat room and gained access to documents between Bigsan and Seresh who were plotting on committing identity theft with their president.
> Mordechai posted the information on WikiLeaks and thus became listed on the Royal Website of those who the president would like to honor.
> And it was after these events that Obamachashverosh appointed Hamas to be prime minister of his kingdom. Hamas immediately declared that everyone must like him on Facebook. When he tried to friend Mordechai the Jew, Mordechai did not respond. Hamas immediately plotted to remove, destroy and delete all the Jews health insurance in the land. Emails were sent out through the fastest servers, saying that on the thirteenth day of Adar, all Jews , men women and children on the same day would now be subject to obamacare. Mordechai and Esther immediately called for a Million Man March to pray for the annulment of the harsh decree.
> That night, Obamachashverosh couldn’t sleep. He texted his servant to log on to his Royal Website. Although he tried avoiding the link which shared how Mordechai had saved the kings life, all other pages could not be displayed. Obamachashverosh decided he must honor Mordechai. After taking a poll, he orders Hamas to chauffeur Mordechai in the Royal Limo. During the parade, Hamas’s daughter, watching the entire event on her webcam, sends all her spam to the driver.
> Hamas joins Esther and the kings WhatsApp group and it is there that Esther reveals her family circle on google+. Security arrest Hamas and he is hung on the fifty foot gallows he had ordered on E-bay.

GRANDCHILDREN: God's reward for allowing your children to live
My Father Taught Me
By Toby Lieder
It would be my father!
I immediately thought of my father!
There is so much to say
It would take a whole day
To begin to describe my dad
I'm feeling so sad
Sad that's he's not here
To chat and chuckle and share
He always found the humor in everything
He used to laugh and sing
Especially dance his own dance
One foot in front and a high bounce
My father made us aware of healthy eating
Always reminding us to have an apple before noshing
Positive reinforcement was his second nature
Always a good word to even a stranger
Who remembers?
Friday night after candle-lighting in our home
Machon chana girls and women would come
My father's Tanya lessons would be their weekly inspiration
Together with the smell of my mothers Just baked challahs what a sensation
My father taught me to always say a good to word to anyone
He was friendly to everyone
MY FATHER taught me words like ducks back
(do you know what that means?)
Just like a ducks back is slippery when someone annoys you let it slide right off like a ducks back !
MY FATHER Taught me
Never loose your temper always stay calm and stay cool
That went a long way with me raising 14 kids! I stood by that rule!
MY FATHER taught me
To talk to 'all types ' of people in the same respectable way
In invited them in to our home any given day
MY FATHER taught me
To say amen as many times as we can (he'd say a Brocha loud on purpose for us to say
He explained that angels are created with our amens each day
MY FATHER taught me
Gam Zu ltova this too is for good
He never criticised or said a bad word
Whenever in his presence you felt really good
MY FATHER taught me
About nature,planets,the oceans and the ski
Inspired us with Hashems creations through my fathers eyes
MY FATHER taught us
To have fun and enjoy life to its fullest glory
He loved classicAl music, played the piano and told awesome stories
MY FATHER taught us
To appreciate nostalgia,
old movies from the Rebbe entertained us all
Each moitzay shabbos he'd take out his old movie projector and we'd have a ball!
MY FATHER taught us
To laugh and play and be happy and be a kid
He always had a joke for us ready on his lip
MY FATHER tAught us
The appreciation of the Rebbe
He ingrained in us the love and respect for the Rebbe from early on
Him being a true role model of a real chosid and Yiras shomayim
MY FATHER taught us
Through his stories of tzadikim and lessons for life
We'd live by those lessons today they all all still alive!
MY FATHER taught me
To laugh and find the humor in everything we hear and see
He just knew how to turn sad into happy ,dark into light, incredible was he!
MY FATHER taught me
To be confident
He always said "chin up" shoulders back walk like a king smile to the world the world would smile back!
My father always complimented me on 'anything' he can
He made me feel I can draw I can lead I can be I can have I can do anything I want to
He made me believe I was awesome! Imagine your kids saying that about you! Do you make your kids believe that they are awesome!??
People felt good in his presence
They were drawn to him
He made you feel good
He brought out the good in you
Not just me
But every person he met
Every of the 1300 students he was principal in Bais Yaakov Boro park will tell you they each felt special
From my father I learn to
Treat every person equally
Love life
Laugh a whole lot
Share jokes
Look for the good in people
And a whole lot more
Do you know my dad!???????
Do you have something nice to add?
Please share
The Tablecloth Heartwarming Story
The Tablecloth
The brand new Rabbi and his wife
were newly assigned to their first congregation to reopen a Shul in suburban
Brooklyn. They arrived in early February excited about their opportunities.
When they saw their Shul, it was very run down and needed much work. They set a
goal to have everything done in time to have their first service on Erev Purim.
They worked hard, repairing aged pews, plastering walls, painting, etc., and on
8th of the Adar (February 17th) they were ahead of schedule and just about
finished.
On February 19 a terrible snowstorm hit the area and lasted for two
days. On the 21st, the Rabbi went over to the Shul. His heart sank when he saw
that the roof had leaked, causing a large area of plaster about 20 feet by 8
feet to fall off the e front wall of the sanctuary just behind the pulpit,
beginning about head high. The Rabbi cleaned up the mess on the floor, and not
knowing what else to do but postpone the Erev Purim service, headed home.
On
the way home, he noticed that a local business was having a flea market type
sale for charity, so he stopped in. One of the items was a beautiful, handmade,
ivory coloured, crocheted tablecloth with exquisite work, fine colours and a
Magen David embroidered right in the centre. It was just the right size to cover
the hole in the front wall.
He bought it and headed back to the Shul. By this
time it had started to snow. An older woman running from the opposite direction
was trying to catch the bus. She missed it. The Rabbi invited her to wait in
the warm Shul for the next bus 45 minutes later. She sat in a pew and paid no
attention to the Rabbi while he got a ladder, hangers, etc., to put up the
tablecloth as a wall tapestry.
The Rabbi could hardly believe how beautiful it
looked and it covered up the entire problem area.
Then the Rabbi noticed
the woman walking down the centre aisle. Her face was like a sheet.
"Rabbi, "she asked, "where did you get that tablecloth?"
The Rabbi explained. The woman asked him to check the lower right corner to see
if the initials, EBG were crocheted into it there. They were. These were the
initials of the woman, and she had made this tablecloth 35 years before, in
Poland. The woman could hardly believe it as the Rabbi told how he had just
gotten "The Tablecloth".
The woman explained that before the
war she and her husband were well-to-do people in Poland. When the Nazis came,
she was forced to leave. Her husband was going to follow her the next week. He
was captured, sent to a camp and she never saw her husband or her home again.
The
Rabbi wanted to give her the tablecloth; but she made the Rabbi keep it for the
Shul. The Rabbi insisted on driving her home. That was the least he could do.
She lived on the other side of Staten Island and was only in Brooklyn for the
day for a housecleaning job.
What a wonderful service they had on Erev
Purim.
The Shul was almost full. The Service was great. At the end of the
service, the Rabbi and his wife greeted everyone at the door and many said that
they would return. One older man, whom the Rabbi recognised from the
neighbourhood continued to sit in one of the pews and stare, and the Rabbi
wondered why he wasn't leaving.
The man asked him where he got the tablecloth
on the front wall because it was identical to one that his wife had made years
ago when they lived in Poland before the war and how could there be two
tablecloths so much alike? He told the Rabbi how the Nazis came, how he forced
his wife to flee for her safety and he was supposed to follow her, but he was
arrested and put in a camp. He never saw his wife or his home again all the 35
years between.
The Rabbi asked him if he would allow him to take him for
a little ride. They drove to Staten Island and to the same house where the
Rabbi had taken the woman three days earlier. He helped the man climb the three
flights of stairs to the woman's apartment, knocked on the door and he saw the
greatest Erev Purim reunion he could ever imagine.
The above is a true
story. “God” does work in mysterious ways!
Take 60 seconds and give this
a shot! All you do is simply say the following small prayer for the person who
sent this to you:
"Hashem, bless all my friends and family in
whatever it is that You know they may be needing this day! May their lives be
full of Your peace, prosperity and power as they seek to have a closer
relationship with You. Amen."
