The two sons are morbidly obese but that is not the real problem. There is a lot of sleeping, snoring, talking and worst of all loud passing of gas. If someone shushes one of them he shushes back. The irony of the whole thing is we just got beautiful engraving above the ark that states: "Know for before Whom you stand" Our rabbi seems to be ignoring the problem and I wondered if I should send an anonymous letter to the rabbi or..? Should I ignore it? I want to add that this is a tiny, tiny Orthodox community and there isn't any place else to go ..Moriahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031303390387367887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898782635470765614.post-90488671059771890862011-01-23T03:44:29.299-05:002011-01-23T03:44:29.299-05:00Not-anonymous praise: Love the humor!

And, of course, you are right.<br /><br />Thousands of years ago (in the pre-religious era), when I was an unremittingly sarcastic young pain in the bloomers, a friend invited me to a party. I proceeded to act and speak disdainfully (but quite wittily, or so I thought) of some of his guests. He sent me a six-page handwritten letter which told me in no uncertain terms that people who don't care for his friends need not attend his parties. Of course, I was devastated and embarrassed.<br /><br />Most important: that letter changed my life (thank G-d). I owe that young man a debt of gratitude. And I probably would have missed the message if he hadn't signed it, for exactly the reasons you mentioned.<br /><br />Keep writing.rutimizrachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809119908148195009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898782635470765614.post-20954808418639480402011-01-20T20:31:22.973-05:002011-01-20T20:31:22.973-05:00OTOH is anonymous tochacha better (for the recieve...OTOH is anonymous tochacha better (for the reciever) than none at all?<br />KT<br />Joel (would some power the gift to gie us to see ourselves as others see us)RichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
