i thought this was a jewish blog – 2012? if so the best was 12-12-12. gevalt, what’s wrong with 5773?
“She-lo”? (#13)
I would pronounce that Shiloh, where I live.
Better Sh’lo.
Shlomo, I am in awe of your frumkeit. May all Jewish children grow up to reject blog timestamps like you. Which of the four New Years mentioned in the Mishnah apply to blogs?
interesting enough, when i went into rav seraya devliteski this morning, as i do every secular month when the salary comes in, and give him some zedaka to distribute, i say chodesh tov with a smile. today he said shana tova with a bigger one. everyone in the room stared, and i hope they won’t be institute a minhag based on his inside joke with me.
just a pointer of how galuti even the frumest are. the kupat cholim pharmacy is closed for the yearly inventory.
one more point, my latest grandaughter, baylah bina, was born bein hashmashot between 28-29 kislev and so we don’t know what date to write. but have no fear, in any case she was born on 12-12-12.
a gut yom tov to all those who have a rosh hashsanah for blogs.
