DEAR GOD: "Please take it away from them"!!!
::PINNED TO TOP FOR TISHA B'AV ::
DEAR GOD: "Please take it away from them" !!!
The Holy Ruzhiner (Chassidic master Rabbi Yisrael of Ruzhin, 1797-1851) rejected all feelings of sadness, even of bitterness. So his chassidim would practice all sorts of practical jokes and pranks on the Ninth of Av (in order to put down the sadness of the day). They would throw beans at each other. Then they thought of an amazing prank : they opened a skylight window in the roof of the beis medrash hall and dropped a rope; with a little playing around they managed to make it that when someone walked into the study hall, they would automatically yank on the rope so that the rope fastened itself around him, and pull him up to the roof, hanging him by his foot upside down.
Early tishabav morning it happened that the holy Ruzhiner himself walked in to the study hall. Those who were up on the roof could not see clearly who was coming in, so they pulled him up thinking they had done a great prank. To their horror, they saw that they had pulled up their Rebbe! As soon as they recognized who it was, they let him down.
The Ruzhiner got up on his feet and said the following words: "Master of the Universe! If Your children are not properly observing Your 'festival,' take it away from them!"
THECOOLJEW.com Would LIKE TO PUBLICLY ASK HASHEM: "Master of the Universe! Please see your children do not know how to properly observe Your 'festival,' take it away from them!"

Coming Soon Od Yosef Chai: High Holidays
The critically acclaimed, "Od Yosef Chai" series returns! Featuring the legendary Cantor Yosselle Rosenblatt. This fully restored double CD includes hand picked classics for the High Holy days.
Keep an eye out for the upcoming release of the fifth volume in the Od Yosef Chai series. In the meantime, please enjoy this free download, Tzadik Rabbi Elazar, recorded over 95 years ago restored to original pristine state.
This piece, from the lamentations (kinos) that the Jewish nation recites on the 9th of Av in the Hebrew calendar, when we mourn the destruction of both the first & second Holy Temples, is the highlight of the lamentations. It depicts the tragic execution by the Roman empire, of the 10 Harugei Malchus - the ten martyrs. This particular part discusses the killing of the last of the martyrs, the righteous Rabi Elozor Ben Shamua, who was one of the 5 most prominent disciples of Rabi Akiva. He was 105 years old when he was killed.
Cantor Rosenblatt recorded this composition in June of 1916, 95 years ago, in New York City. This recording was extremely distorted & indiscernible, until Aderet Studios expertly cleaned up the audio.
Even though this recording its 95 years old, it carries a very strong emotional lament, of our current events. May Moshiach come speedily in our days. Amen

New From Artscroll: Yerushalmi Pesachim volume 1
For five generations of the Talmudic era, the great Sages of the Land of Israel flourished in the Galil. There, like the Sages of Babylonia, they debated, expounded, and applied the laws and principles of the Mishnah that were received at Sinai .The sacred learning of those years was gathered in the Talmud Yerushalmi — The Jerusalem Tamud.
They lived with Roman pogroms and persecution — but the flame of Torah burned bright despite it all. Until about 350 C. E., when brutal Roman anti-Semitism decimated the Holy Land’s yeshivos and silenced its voice of Torah. But the Sages’ teachings live on in the Talmud Yerushalmi, just as the teachings of Babylonia live one in the Talmud Bavli — The Babylonian Talmud.
But while the Sages of Babylonia had another 150 years to redact, clarify and organize the text of the Babylonian Talmud, Roman persecution in the Holy Land made that impossible. Thus, the Jerusalem Talmud is exceedingly difficult, and — despite its great significance – it has been a closed book to all but select, elite scholars.
Now, thanks to the outstanding scholars who produced the classic Schottenstein Edition of Talmud Bavli, the lock is being removed on yet another treasure-house of Torah Sheb’al Peh, the Oral Law.
This project has been enthusiastically welcomed and endorsed by Torah leaders in Israel and America.
