#1   I KNOW ALL ABOUT RABBI AKIVA  !   HIS FULL NAME IS RABBI  AKIVA SHTISEL ! ON NETFLIX !

HE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS ON  “SHTISEL “.  I AM  LEARNING HEBREW BY WATCHING THAT SHOW.   I THINK I AM LEARNING MORE ABOUT HUMAN DEPRESSION BY WATCHING THAT SHOW !   GOOD GRIEF !  I THINK THE SHOW “SHTISEL” IS ENOUGH TO PUT YOU INTO A DEPRESSION IF SOMEONE IS NOT ALREADY THERE !  SOME OF THOSE EPISODES MUST HAVE MOTIVATED PEOPLE IN ISRAEL TO JUMP OFF THEIR BALCONIES !!!

OY GEVVAULT !  OY VEY ES MIR !!  IT IS LIKE WATCHING A TRAIN WRECK IN SLOW MOTION ! !   BUT I CAN’T STOP WATCHING IT !  

YOU HAVE BIG COJONES TO SEND ME A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CIVIL WAR.

YOU ASSUME I AM AN IDIOT AMERICAN..;..AND I ADMIT I AM AN IDIOT BUT I THINK THE ONLY THING THAT HAS A CHANCE TO UNITE OUR WORLD IS FOR ALL OF US TO JUST ADMIT THAT WE ARE ALL A BUNCH OF IDIOTS !   I HAVE NO DESIRE TO DEBATE THE  TRAGEDY OF THE USA and the CSA- CIVIL WAR WITH YOU.  I HAVE SPENT TOO MUCH TIME STUDYING THAT TERRIBLE CALAMITY !   OR.. WAS IT THE WILL OF OUR CREATOR TO PUNISH OURSELVES ?   THE SOUTH FOR THE LASH AND THE NORTH FOR THEIR COMPLACENCY.  I BLOGGED ABOUT THIS BUT YOU DON’T READ MY BLOG ANYWAY. SO FORGET THAT !

BY THE WAY….. I NEVER RODE A  BULL..  I HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO SHOOT THE BULL ON OCCASIONS .  BULL RIDERS ARE CRAZIER THAN KAMIKAZE PILOTS !

KAMIKAZE PILOTS KNOW THEY WILL RIDE OFF INTO THE RISING SUN BUT A BULL WILL BACK UP AND STOMP ON YOU IF YOU FALL OFF !  YOU LIVED IN TEXAS AS I RECALL REBBE MOSHE ?

DID YOU WEAR A BIG COWBOY HAT TO COVER YOUR  YARMULKE IN TEXAS ? 

WHENEVER I GET YOUR DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE SCRIPTURES AND I TRY TO ABSORB YOUR THOUGHTS. I ADMIT TO GETTING A LITTLE “LOST”.  I AM A SIMPLE GUY.

I HAVE MORE DAYS BEHIND ME THAN I HAVE IN FRONT OF ME.  I DON’T KNOW IF WE WILL EVER MEET BUT IF WE DO, IT SHOULD PROVE TO BE VERY INTERESTING.

I HAVE KNOWN MANY REDNECKS IN MY LIFE. BUT YOU ARE MY FIRST REDNECK JEW RABBI FRIEND. I CAN’T HELP BUT WONDER IF YOU ARE THE “ONLY” REDNECK RABBI IN EXISTENCE ?

PLEASE SAY HELLO FROM ME TO RABBI AKIVA SHTISEL WHEN YOU SEE HIM !
