Survival Guide to the Three-Day Yom Tov
As most of us are dreading the upcoming “three-day” chag, we here at Newsy Jewsy came up with a few tips to help you survive it – and actually make it through feeling great!
Here are our tips:
- Memorize all your status updates as they occur, so you can post them immediately after Yom Tov. (You know, at the pizza shop.) The best way to memorize them is to recite each 100 times as you walk to and from shul. The correct response to “Good Yutif/Good Shabbos” is simply a smile.
- Always walk around with a sefer. If you’re single, your shidduch chances go up exponentially. If not, at least you’ll have an excuse to duck when Aunt Shelly starts yapping about this or that.
- The moment Hallel goes over 2.38 minutes, just slap your forehead with your palm, and run out of shul like you forgot something. If you want to come back in, just bring that handy sefer. Works every time.
- Bring ear plugs to shul in case the rabbi’s drasha is too loud.
- At the start of mussaf, remember to bang on the nearest hard surface so everyone knows you remembered it was Yom Tov.
- Remember the halacha – If there is no cholent at Kiddush, skip it, there’s plenty of food at home. If there is cholent, but no MEAT in it, skip it. If there is no cholent, but there is potato kugel, some say skip it, others are meikil and permit it.
- Forget the shower. When things get tough, make this yeshiva-style ready-mix in just five minutes: Stir 2 parts deodorant, 2 parts air freshener, and 1 part Shout. Spray ready-mix on clothes, toilets, or the person’s seat next to you as necessary. It’s all good.
- Always nap like it’s Shabbos. Even if it’s Thursday.
- Bolt out before havdallah and find the nearest pizza shop. Give us your status updates: Did you survive your Three-Day Yom Tov??
Chag Sameach everyone!
Special thanks to Marissa for this post idea.When I’m 80, and Still on Facebook
The stats say that many “older folks” have taken to social media in recent years, but we all know that a) they’re in their 60s and, by today’s standards, that’s not old, and b) they’re often light users, just using it to see pics of the grandkids. But now let’s imagine, what we, the “Facebook Generation” will sound like when we’re 80….
Here are a few possibilities:
- Photo Comment: “omg, u look awesome in this pic, where’d u get ur teeth from?”
- Profile Birthday Year: “It’s Complicated.”
- Status Update: “Need 2 borrow a size 20 gown 4 my great grandson’s bar mitzvah, any1 have anything?”
- Like: “AARP Fan Page”
- Video Share: Maccabeats’ “Candlelight”….omg, weren’t those boys handsome?
- Status Update: “My DH needs a walker, can u recommend 1 that is sturdy but not too expensive?”
- Photo Album: “Sitting by the pool in Florida” – The Next Photo Album: “Sitting by the pool in Florida.”
- Video Share: Youtube – “New Drug Helps Urinary Tract Infections.”
- Like: “Silly Bands”…omg, remember those??
- Status Update: “Thinking of getting grey highlights in my sheitel, what do u think?”
