If not, you're probably the only one (other than the naysayers who pre-judge any TV shows on the BBC or about Jewish life)....

You're standing alone at the entrance of the party hall, everyone else is inside including your parents and siblings, your signature tune is pumping, everyone's cheering in anticipation, and you hear......

It's the longest I've lived anywhere. And I don't know if it's because this is where I started a family, or if it's the vibe of the place itself, but I quickly came to love the place.I'm known for investing heavily in my relationships. And that's as true for the people of my town as it is for my close friends and family.I'm inclined to whip out my controller (decks for anyone older than 40!) at the flip of a record...

A lot of hosts—for all good and generous reasons—focus their attention on what their guests are going to enjoy. But the truth is, as long as you only invite people you love and who love you, all your guests will be genuinely delighted to immerse themselve...

I get it. It's a chance to laud them up, lavish them with praise, extol their virtues, and reward them with a moment of glory in what's bound to've been a journey of ups and downs to get them to this milestone.Of course it's all those things. But it's far far more than that. And it's not all the kid's doing.It probably took a small army of people to get them to this point starting with their main ca...

A year or two later there's a simcha party that can cost 10s of thousands to throw, bring in thousands more worth of gifts, and necessitate countless people travelling in often from abroad. And for what? 4 hours of frivolity after 30 minutes of laining or a d'var...

Or is anyone else worried that tossing a kid 10 feet off the ground from a stretched out table cloth is going get someone seriously hurt? Now, nobody who knows me thinks I'm a killjoy. Far from it! Do you know anyone who parties harder? But, still, the last thing anyone wants is for someone to get injured... or worse. ... Tue, 31 Jan 2017 17:36:42 +0000 http://www.jiggle.in/blog/#post3732
