Guest guest Posted November 1, 2001 Report Share Posted November 1, 2001 Oh good. Problem is Ruthie he can wind you up like a clock work mouse:) The old saying is that little girls wrap their daddies around their finger and little boys their mums. Having said that he was probably a little rattled with his sister getting engaged and not being around at the introduction to put his brotherly size nine in - so to speak and now that he has met Moishi in a less formal setting he can now tell him all those dreadful things that not sister wants her little brother to say.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2001 Report Share Posted November 1, 2001 > Oh good. Problem is Ruthie he can wind you up like a clock work mouse:) Oh I know ,and sometimes deliberately too. The old saying is that little girls wrap their daddies around their finger and little boys their mums. Having said that he was probably a little rattled with his sister getting engaged and not being around at the introduction to put his brotherly size nine in - ten and a half! ) so to speak and now that he has met Moishi in a less formal setting he can now tell him all those dreadful things that not sister wants her little brother to say. He wasn't that keen on Moishi at first meeting, but now he has got to know him in yeshivah setting, and Moishi has *really* made an effort with him, he likes him a LOT . I'm so glad. A relieved Ruthie who has no doubt some more grey hairs this week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2001 Report Share Posted November 1, 2001 Is Moishi at the same Yeshiva as Yeshaya? (hope I got this right, it's beginning to get like Moses supposes his toeses...) Caro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Moishi is at the same Yeshiva as Dov, a very big impersonal one called The Mir in the Geulah area of Jerusalem. Very good for more advanced and motivated Yeshiva students who are well able to study on their own without supervision or direction, not so good for beginners like Yeshaya who have been cooling their heels in school, not getting on so well with their religious studies and who need a really good inspirational and charismatic Rabbi to show them how. In other words, the Mir is more of a *second* step than a first one. Yeshaya's Yeshivah is called Medrash Shmuel, and is very close to our house in another area of Jerusalem altogether. Rabbi Moskovits is the head, and the boys worship him. Without him there would be no yeshivah. Here's a pic of my Yeshaya and Zehava at the engagement party. http://www.ruthiepearlman.com/pictures/yeshzehava.jpg Ruthie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 Good news Ruthie I hope things continue smoothly. Having fun with Hannah at the moment she is *supposedly* saying things to her dad like I let my sisters boyfriend take her out for the day on his own and that dp has smacked her(he's never been on his own with them so I KNOW this is not true)and I would NEVER let my sisters boyfriend be alone with her he hasn't even seen us for weeks.HELP what do I have ahead she's only 3 1/2yrs.I can't be sure she's said any of this of course they might be making it up to cause trouble so haven't asked Hannah about any of it.It's very unsettling though. Sorry that turned into a bit of a rant! Sonjia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2001 Report Share Posted November 3, 2001 > > Good news Ruthie I hope things continue smoothly. Thanks Sonjia. I spoke to him tonight after Sabbath. He seems fine and very happy. When I asked him about the " depressed " episode, he said that he had found a mentor to talk to who had helped him hugely. He described him (amusingly I thought!) thus: " You know how it is with Azariah, he's easy to talk to but gives lousy advice? Well this guy is easy to talk to but gives GOOD advice.

Can't remember who it was who said something along the lines of: When I was 16 my father new nothing of worth.....it's amazing what the old guy learned in ten years.

Nothing like peer group advice when you're a teen. Parents just *don't* understand do they? Ruthie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
