For those of you who have not heard... I'll let you in on my recent happenings.
This past Wednesday night Rabbi C Friedman decided he wanted to drive into Crown Heights from Minnesota. Now, I already had a ticket from MSP to MIA but since it was my only chance to actually be by the Rebbe for Gimmel Tammuz I took it. So came Thursday afternoon, we packed into the Suburban (when I say we I mean Rabbi Friedman, Mrs. Friedman, Doba, Sholom, Yankele, Sarale, Mushakale, and myself) with all our luggage and headed on our way. I must say although it was a long ride the kids were very well behaved. Rabbi Friedman drove the first 5.5 hours and I took over from there. I had thought I could make it all the way to Pittsburgh (where we planned on staying for Shabbos), but at 4 in the AM I just couldn't drive anymore. We pulled into a motel, had a quick 5 hour nap, and got back on the road in the morning.
We arrived in Armpits Burg at about 5 o' clock, after a total of over 14 hours driving, with still a few hours to spare before Shabbos. Shabbos was nice...I met up with Chaim Shollar, Eden Einav, and a bunch of other people I haven't seen since I was there six years ago.
Sunday afternoon we began our final departure to New York...7.5 hours and 2 'asleep' legs later we arrived in crown heights. What a feeling?!? We finally made it...Just in time for Levi Grossbaum's Lchaim!! Me and Rabbi Friedman farbrenged with Levi & friends until roughly 4 A.M.
Today...I caught up with Rabbi Eizicovics & Family at the Bagel Shop on Kingston. We walked and talked a bit and now I am back in the house writing it all down for you.
Anyway, hows everyone else?? I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL BY THE FARBRENGEN TOMORROW NIGHT AT BERRY'S HOUSE...
Til then stay well!
