Interesting Psak: Returning Calls

Interesting Psak: Returning Calls - Someone who does not return a phone call is deservant of death from Heaven!!!

Rav Yisrael Rosen, the head of the Tzomet Insititute - a wonderful organization of Rabbis doing great work - has said that someone who does not return a phone call is deservant of death from Heaven.

The background is that during the days of Sefirat Ha'Omer, when we mourn the students of Rabbi Akiva who died because they did not treat each other with proper respect, this is a lesson we need to elarn. If someone leaves a message on your answering machine and you do not return the call, especially when you said "Leave a message after the beep!", you are treating them with a lack of respect, and we see from the story of Rabbi Akiva that the punishment for this is death from Heaven.

Rabbi Rosen also equates this with responding to sms and to emails, and even says anonymous emails (and I guess comments on blogs) should be responded too as well.

Rabbi Rosen points out the absurdity of the situation that nowadays, when forms of communication have become so abundant and easy, is when we have growing estrangement between people.

Shea Rubenstein Will Play Fore Free

Shea Rubenstein Will Play Fore Free!!!

Monday, May 4, 2009


Brooklyn , NY - Recording artist Shea Rubenstein has announced his offer to perform free of charge at events held by charities and other nonprofit organizations for the duration of 2009. “Charities face so many obstacles in the current economic turndown, with more people in need, and fewer donations pouring in,” Shea explains. “I want to give back to those who give to many.” His magnanimous offer extends to all charities and nonprofit organizations who seek to enhance their events with professional vocal entertainment. Instead of having to set aside a large part of their budget to obtain a musical artist, Rubenstein will now provide that for them, gratis. Shea Rubenstein released his debut album, entitled, “Ohavti,” in December. His music video, “Window in Heaven,” is the most downloaded English Jewish music video on the Internet, and has garnered a huge following. Shea has performed throughout the United States, Israel and Europe. His audiences have included various elected officials and religious leaders, including, most recently, Governor David Patterson. Shea performs Carlebach-style Shabbosim and Kumzites on a regular basis. He is sought after at weddings, Sheva Brachos and other Simchas throughout the country.

Organizations seeking to accept his generous offer should contact Shea Rubenstein by visiting his website, www.shearubenstein.com . Alternately, he can be reached by phoning 917-668-4115. Shea’s gracious offer is emblematic of the initiative needed to quell the effects of the recession on our community at large. It is his hope that others will follow his example.

Cuban tree frog

This is a Cuban tree frog on a tree in a backyard in southern Florida. How and why he ate this light is a mystery. It should be noted that at the time of taking this photo, it was thought this frog was dead having cooked himself from the inside. Happy to say wrong. After a few shots he adjusted his position. So after the photo was finished shooting, a person pulled the light out of his mouth and he was fine. Actually, he was very unhappy when they took his light away!!!
