Text of the page (random words):
t my doorbell it s a bird chirp installed by a previous resident at least forty years ago you should note that i like old things because one of the reasons i made aliyah was to connect personally to history and this apartment is full of those connections continuous doorbell chirping is not a way to connect to history and it s also not my favorite background noise but my repeatedly pushing the doorbell did nothing to stop it i considered cutting the wire from the bell to the birdhouse but feared electrocution so instead i decided to turn off the circuit breaker for the doorbell first i went to the kitchen to find the circuit breaker map a kind electrician had once drawn for me this required searching through the drawer containing all the instruction manuals and receipts for every appliance i ever bought i save stuff like that for my time capsule while the doorbell continued chirping finally i found the map and carried it to the circuit box out in the stairwell reaching the circuit breaker box requires a certain height over the staircase as i have shrunk with age i now have to stand on tiptoe to reach it while learning over the staircase from the landing it occurred to me that i might fall down the stairs during this procedure then i stop to wonder if i die falling down the stairs to turn off a circuit breaker to make the doorbell stop chirping because i was sanitizing the doorbell to prevent the spread of coronavirus would my death count with the who as a coronavirus death with this thought in mind i leaned and tiptoed very carefully and switched off the circuit breaker the chirping stopped proudly i returned inside closed the door and proceeded to check what else was shut the bathroom lights no problem i can find the bathroom in the dark the hot water heater that would mean i might have to listen to chirping for ½ hour to heat water in the morning doable the washer and dryer are also located in the bathroom they don t work either well no laundry needs washing just now perhaps in a few hours the doorbell will have dried out and chirp only when pushed wait and see a few hours pass quickly thanks to whatsapp email facebook and youtube once again i risk my life to stand on tiptoes and reach the circuit breaker this time to turn it back on no noise push the doorbell only one chirp yay check the bathroom lights work check the hot water heater heating light goes on check the dryer drying starts check the washing machine nothing uh oh it s a machine i bought one year ago and foolishly paid for an 8 year warrantee in theory i am entitled to call the service company to come and find out why my washing machine doesn t work or i could call a kind electrician to come and do the same thing for money but in reality i can t do any of those things because even without coronavirus restrictions it s thursday night what i can do is think about how to get my laundry to a neighbor s machine when i m not supposed to leave my house next morning friday i go to check the washing machine again and it works why because sometimes broken electric and electronic things fix themselves if you give them the time they need but after the weekend on monday i needed to do laundry and sometime during the washing i saw a lot of water on the bathroom and hallway floor a small survey of the back of the washing machine showed that when i had checked the washing machine on thursday night unplugging it and re plugging it i accidentally knocked the water drain hose out of the drainpipe a mopping up operation ensued the cycle of events would have been complete if the doorbell had gotten dirty again posted by savtadotty at 3 54 pm 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday august 09 2016 ursula s beach mitzvah august 5 2016 ursula s beach mitzvah background the event would take place in the presence of ursula s immediate family at the end of a 12 day visit to savta in israel ursula had arrived first taking her first solo transatlantic trip her parents followed her after a week ursula 12 had no preparatory study and very little exposure to institutional judaism her closest family on her father s side my side are non orthodox ashkenazi jews plus a couple of chinese cousins nova her mother is anti christian religion father english mother japanese james her father had a liberal jewish education including bar mitzvah in a reform temple and some additional studies at the jewish theological seminary s high school program in new york city savta that s me ursula s paternal grandmother had no formal jewish education and made aliyah moved to israel in 1988 in search of community and a personal connection to jewish history and a strong distaste for rampant consumerism john nova s half brother john and nova had the same english father but john s mother is ashkenazi jewish american john has been a professor at university of haifa since 1994 his daughters are ursula s cousins jan james s cousin savta s niece jan is an ashkenazi jewish american coincidentally visiting israel during ursula s visit process discussing the idea prior to ursula s arrival on july 24 2016 savta consulted nova to determine her constraints no mention of god no bibles no synagogue no rabbi then after ursula arrived in israel savta consulted directly with her to determine her willingness given nova s constraints then at a family dinner on august 1 there was a lively group discussion about what to emphasize at the ceremony various meanings of judaism jewishness israel peoplehood savta appointed john to officiate and john objected strenuously mostly because of lack of time to prepare but he promised to give it some thought invitation sent from savta by email on august 3 two days before the event only to people who could attend on such short notice visiting family israel family and savta s tel aviv close friends no shabbat observers no overseas family or overseas friends in honor of ursula kushner s 12th birthday visit to israel which ends august 6 you are invited to her beach mitzvah at cafe tsfoni betayelet tel aviv on friday august 5 from 7pm until 9pm in case you ve never attended a beach mitzvah neither has any of us it might or might not include a public statement from ursula herself you will be welcome to speak or sing words of advice to her in consideration of the family s no checked baggage policy no gifts please donations may be made to israel guide dogs for the blind magen david adom or the tel aviv opera workshop we will be sitting on the sand and in cafe beach chairs swimming may happen there will be homemade cake you may choose to bring food to eat or to share or order something from the extensive cafe menu we will see the sunset choosing hebrew name at the soup salon on august 6 three hours prior to the procession to the beach discussion centered on ursula choosing a hebrew name ursula means little bear the hebrew equivalent is duba feminine form but that word has bad connotations in hebrew and was emphatically rejected by all hebrew speakers present various other criteria were proposed similar spelling similar sounds something related to an animal the choices were finally narrowed down to or tslil or yael event john s words we are here to celebrate ursula s bat mitzvah we re going to keep this short and simple hebrew name ursula says yael the purpose of the bat mitzvah ceremony in the jewish tradition is to affirm publicly that the person is an adult member of the jewish people this is done at the age of 12 for girls and the age of 13 for boys and ursula recently celebrated her 12th birthday so let me ask ursula do you want to affirm as an adult as someone who makes her own decisions that you want to be a member of the jewish people ursula says i do well then i will affirm that you are indeed a member of the jewish people now regarding being an adult being an adult in any society involves both rights and responsibilities which you did not have when you were a child and you are at a time in your life when you will begin to have these rights and responsibilities there are many of these rights and responsibilities but i only want to mention here one right and one responsibility you have the right to call yourself a jew and and you have the right to define being a jew however you want you can define what you want to believe as a jew and you can define what you want to do as a jew you can believe in god or you can not believe in god you can observe jewish religious laws or you can not observe jewish religious laws you can observe some jewish religious laws and not others of your own choosing you can go to synagogue whenever you want and you can choose never to go to synagogue no matter what anyone says to you you have the right to consider yourself a jew and to call yourself a jew however you also have the obligation to learn more about the jewish people our history and to use what you learn in deciding how you think of yourself as being a jew you don t have to learn this at any particular time or in any particular way it can start tomorrow or it can start in 10 or 20 years or at any time in your life and you can learn this alone or from a teacher or in a group setting and you will never be tested by anyone on this but you have to learn more do you agree to do this ursula says yes speakers james yaacov ben reuven jan jan bat reuven merona bat avraham savta dvora bat yaacov ursula yael bat yaacov james s words welcome jan s words sung to the tune of puff the magic dragon ursula my cousin

auditorium of the israel opera house for the first time the secret is out to the 12 of us who were there with you on stage you have a powerful voice and a strong presence my wish for you is to use them as your parents do to teach to learn to share to help to accept help to sing and dance with joy and may you always have a full house ursula s words i don t know who i am yet but i m definitely
