Before I start with what happened on yomtov, let me blog about what happened outside the flower shop today. Waiting for a parking spot for over 15 minutes, finally the guy right behind me pulls out, I have my blinker on and this yeshivish guy just pulls straight into the parking spot. Let me understand this is G-D sending him straight to heaven just for wearing his tzitzis out or that he didn't miss zman krias shma? what happened to a little respect? Going into the flower shop I pick some flowers, get on line an lo and behold this yeshivish guy is right in front of me, two kids in tow acting like bunch of animals. I'm on the phone with my mom throughout this whole ordeal and out of nowhere I'm like "Would you be surprised with such kids? the father has no manors neither do his kids." (It was a bit more nasty than that) he turns around to me gets red in the face leaves the flowers there and walks out of the store. Am I wrong?
So anyway walking in late to shul tonight I grab a siddur, quickly daven mncha. Mincha is over, I go out for a smoke, come back in there is some dude speaking. I sit down wanting to hear what he is selling, I am still trying to figure out what difference it makes in my life weather the posuk "Az Yashir Moshe" is actually part of the Shira or just an introduction. Now The first thing that crosses my mind is what is his game? don't we all have one? Does he believe what he sells? What does he really do behind closed doors? He finishes and everybody is like thank you,,, thank you,,, and I''m like for what? I tried to think about what he spoke about, nothing really pertaineing to me or to anybody for that matter. Why not talk about things that actually make a difference? So marriv starts and I'm sitting right across the father of the guy that spoke, and he is the frummie Rebbele in shul, comes to shalosh seudos with a nice colorful bekishe. So here in the middle of Krias Shma he turns to me and asks me "so what's up _______?" , I give him this blank look and turn away thinking how frum is he really? Leaving shul with a cigarette in my hand this guy I do business with, also very frum no talking in middle of davening the whole ehrlich shpiel runs after me. Catching up with me out side he starts discussing some incident that happened with a certain project...... and then bums a cigarette off me. Now this is what I don't get Discussing business on yom tov, who cares? Smoking on yom tov when you don't smoke all year, who cares? Smoking on pesach with all the shailos about chometz and u don't smoke all year who cares? If you talk during davening ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, You go straight to hell
