Being home is a new phase in my life . . . smicha is by far a very odd experience.
To think a few years ago it seem so far off.
Si la Vie.
A few thoughts this return trip:
- It seems fitting that I spent my last night in Europe in Warsaw -where I began my shlichus year. Things have gone full circle.
- My Warsaw-JFK flight was delayed three hours. By the second hour
we were given sandwiches (which I declined, for obvious reasons) and a
drink. As soon as the food was brought out, the Poles lunged, pushing
and fighting as the Americans stood back aghast . . . the vestiges of
Communism live on. - Upon landing the Poles all stood up and took out their bags from
the over head bin before the plain came to a full and complete stop. - As well, they all stood in the line for American citizens by
Passport control, and needed to be escorted to the line for foreigners. - What does it mean "Please fasten your seat belt while seated?" How else can one put on a seat belt?
- G-d bless America. It's good to be home.

Mottel, it's funny how your fifth question can have two meanings which make it either look totally foolish, or actually a logical statement.
You obviously focused on the 'Oholei Torah/Gemara Kop' approach to that statement.
Good to see you're home and happy! Keep it up.
uh..
whats si la vie?
its c'est la vie.
c'est = it is.
si = if.
welcome home "motty"
Whatever, as if the French themselves knew how to write in French.
Thanks for the good wishes y'all!
