FLOOD!!!

and so G-d spoke onto oscar and said " if you shall open the bathroom door prepare yourself for it shall be wet". but alas oscar did not heed the voice of the L-rd and opened the door to find himself thrown back against the wall by millions (ok slight exaggeration there) gallons of water. the water then seeped through the house of the L-rd. the walls absorbed its liquid and now the angels of repair have come to clean and repair (see their name ;)) G-ds house.

the cry of the destitute could be heard miles away and all had a flash back to just two weeks ago to when Rabbi Ari Raskin had uttered his dire prophecy. "a mikvah must be built in irvine or down with the house" (not a direct quote) so sayeth the prophet and alas we did not heed his voice but thought ourselves to be knowing better Hashem's wishes. we have now seen G-d's wish and i would like to now announce that this shabbos the Rabbi (my father) proclaimed in front of all the congregation of chabad that we are starting on a new campaign to build a mikvah in irvine.

luckily much of the shmurah matzah which had been moved downstairs survived. :D

- little history: beth jacod (the modern orthodox shul in irvine) has for the past seven year been saying that they would build a mikvah. but as my aunt rivkie summed it up this morning (oh yeah her and my uncle are in town now for Pesach) "they've been saying it for seven year now... get a life"

me - in G-ds ever benovelent mercy spared from the flood.
