בְּעִתָּהּ אֲחִישֶׁנָּה
Appropriately enough for the Seven Weeks of Consolation, feel free to be inspired by reading one of the later Haftarot of Nehhama that we'll get to in a few weeks, Yesha‘yahu 60.
קומי אורי, כי בא אורך ... אני ה', בעתה אחישנה
Arise, shine, for your light has come ...
... I am God — when the time comes, I will rush it.
Remember what I was saying about having a few more months to work through my ambivalent feelings towards semikha, figure out if I really want to go for it, and if yes, where I would go?
Uhm, well, uh... yeah.
class of 5770
Now I guess the question is, should I change the name of this blog to The Study Hall of the Goblin King?

Mazal tov and hatslacha!
btw I would have translated "kumi ori ki ba orech" as "Get up, my light, you've started glowing!"
thanks!
and thanks for the alternate translation; although, for אורי to mean "my light", the accent would have to be on the רי not the או, where it actually is here, if you check the trop.
עשה והצלח!
What does class of 5771 (or maybe '70, still to be determined) mean? It's a three-year course and you don't know if you're starting this year or next? Or it's a four-year course but you might get exemptions and do it in three?
thanks!
the latter; four year program, but might have to do it in three if outside factors come into play
welcome.. looking forward to seeing you this coming zman! :)
Woohoo!
Kol hakavod!

Your problems just become
your stepping stone.
Catch the moment.
Mazal tov! I guess the interview went well, as I predicted.
I noticed you at Ramath Orah this Fri night, but you disappeared when I went over to introduce myself. I guess you'll be in the neighborhood quite a bit now.
Congratulations and good luck!
alg & chana:
thanks!

sorry i ran out, was looking for friends who i was eating with. i can't guarantee that i'll be around the UWS for Shabbos any more than i am already (once a month or few), but i'd be around a lot more during the week. hope to meet up with you some time.
Mazal tov! Enjoy your studies.
Well, I don't know. Avot chapter 1 quotes Shmayah as recommending that one maintain an unfriendly posture towards the rabbinate. Nevertheless, I still like you and (seriously now) wish you much hatzlahhah.
Mazal tov (though I saw you in shul over shabbas)!
mazal tov.
thanks to all of you!
Muzzle tov!
