Does a fireman have to be a good person in order to get the job done...save lives?
No.
Does he have to have good qualities, does he have to give charity or smile and say good morning?
No.
Does he have to be morally stable when the fire is blaring and he smashes the door downand gets the person out?
No.
and so I think...I'm not worthy of going on shlichus...
I don't say Chitas everyday...or any day lately...I don't' always daven. Sometimes my collar bone shows...or my knees when i sit.
I don't always iron my husbands socks...pfffff
My point is, i'm not on of those shluchas that knows so much Tanya by heart, or recite the Rebbeim's mothers cousins neighobor by heart.
But do I have to be "chassidish' in order to go on shlichus, or do I have to just want it.
Is it enough that I want to give my life over to the yidden of my community, to be in the Rebbe;s Army.
I think the only thing that saves me from the world is Shlichus.
What else is going to make me...ME.. the one that has to set the example, the one that is going to be the only giver of any kind of hiskashrus to the Rebbe to my kids. The only giver of any yiddishkeit in some cases.
What else is going to make me think of Hashem for so many minutes in one day...in separate parts of the day?
What else is going to make me talk to the Rebbe's picture.
What else is going to get me outta Crown heights? (staaaaaam)

Thoughtful and cool... But, here is my little input to give to this wonderful blog:
You are absolutely right - beautiful pink 'girly'ish' blog poster - about your Moshol. For a fireman, Hergeishim are not enough. He needs to actually save lives in order to do his job properly.
A policeman needs to actually stop crime in order to be good at his job. If he only feels the need to save the city, but does nothing about it, then he is not worthy of being deemed a policeman...
If you are writing this post in order to convince yourself out of going on Shlichus, then you are totally mistaken lady!!
If a fireman would come over to me and complain how he wants to quit his job, because he doesn't actually DO THE JOB, the answer I would give him would be "do you job!!"
If he was physically incapable of doing the job, then that's another story. But if he has what it takes to do it, but that only thing missing is the practical application, then that's no excuse to back out of his responsibility.
'
And so... If you have what it takes mentally to spread Yiddishkeit to the world, then no excuse to crawl out of it will suffice. You need to start doing everything you're supposed to do.
I sound like a Mashpia.
I don't do it either. I don't know... Perhaps we should start again. Hmmm. We??
sonia una curiosita,come mai hai cominciato un nuovo blog?perche quello dei rodal sta diventando noioso,perche non c'era abbastanza spazio nel nostro blog,o perche sei stam annoiata e rosea visto dal colore?io penso che potresti vivacizzarlo con non so col tuo umorismo,o scrivendo commenti cretini(come faccio io,tra l'altro)che sono quelli che lasciano un segno o un sorriso in piu!comunque sempre e un bel post 'sto qui molto vero,complimenti,tutto qui.aiuto,scrivo comeun libro stampato grazie all'accanita e dedicata
scusa,frumi me l'ha mandato ero in mezzo a dire che,grazie ad un accurata e intensa lettura di trecento tex ormai.....
aiuto benny rubbed off on you! ididnt know you write so beautifully!! my eyes are hurting... he he
benny i think what she is saying is,in my humble opinion, that you dont need to have a shliachs yichus,or be super people to go on shlichus ,all you need is the genuine desire to help another jew and the rebbe will do the rest
sonia bite post anche foto di covy
and me personally i think you two WILL be proud and awesome shluchim
sono mushki
So everyone goes on Yossele's name, that's how it is? Give me the password also...
Sonia, I think the want is enough but like a good friend of mine (ours) said--I don't think it's fair of me to represent chabad if i don't follow everything chabad is.
So, chabad doesn't require you knowing all the names and dates by heart but it does require other things. Of course you need to talk to your mashpia (no, not you, benny. hi though :)) but some things are obvious--if you're gonna teach a class about tznius, you better jolly well be covered up. That doesn't mean you can't admit to them that you have struggles sometimes, but they need to be able to look up to you.
I could go on and on but I think I will get kicked outta the comments section. Maybe if I provide the oilam with tissues, you'll let me stay?
Tissues!! Tissues!!
wow!!!
yossi chava benny and mushki your envelope with five dollars shuold arrive after five businness days. thank you for commenting
staaaam
yossi-E' pero' un bel po' di tempo da quando ci shiamo shentiti l'ultima volta ne'

mushki- adank
MM-supper is ready
the sabra-you are right...i was just having issues cuz i didnt feel up to it. like why would the Rebbe let me be one...so i was convincing myself
nudnik*
btw i like this blog--it's like mitzvah man's and rodalovitch's together, but better.
*eich korim lecha?
Sonze, just a question, does every shliach you see do all the things you don't? aswer it yourself. Despite all our failings, we are all the Rebbe's got (oy) so as long as we have the eyes on the ball, we'll survive (barely). Another qustion, des one have all the finest qualities, b4 becoming a parent? not necesarilly, but if you love your baby and want to do what's right by him, even though sometimes you might lose your temper, etc.., eventually you won't screw him up too bad (that's my wish btw)
sorele,non mi piacciono tanto le tue parentesi:translation,soraelieue,i don't like your pharentesis,si dice cosi i presume,suppongo!
porche no te piaccono? parlami, vorrei indagare sulle oscure e nascoste ragioni psicologiche ;)
mo' te spiego!le tue parentesi indeboliscono il significato o adirittura contrastano completamente,di quello che tu vuoi condividere con noi,o sorella!
