שיר – יהודית בת בארי

יְהוּדִית בַּת בְּאֵרִי
נָשְׂאָה עֵינֶיהָ לְעֵשָׂו
שֶׁיַּשְׁכִּין שָׁלוֹם בִּמְעוֹנָהּ
שֶׁיִּכְרֹת הַבְּרִית בַּעֲבוּרָהּ.

יְהוּדִית בַּת בְּאֵרִי
לֹא יָדְעָה כִּי בִּגְבוּל יִשְׁמָעֵאל הִיא יוֹשֶׁבֶת
וְאֵין שָׁלוֹם בִּגְבוּלָהּ
וְהַבְּרִית – דָּמִים הָפְכָה.

וְהָיְתָה לְמֹרַת רוּחַ בְּעֵינֵי אֲבוֹתֶיהָ
וְסִמְּאוּ הַדְּמָעוֹת אֶת עֵינֵיהֶם עַל הַשִּׁכְחָה

וְרַק כְּשֶׁחָפְרוּ הַבְּאֵר
וְעַד רְחוֹבוֹת הִגִּיעַ גְּבוּלָהּ
גָּבַר קוֹל יַעֲקֹב עַל יְדֵי עֵשָׂו
וְחֶרֶב יִשְׁמָעֵאל נָסוֹגָה אָחוֹר
וְהָיְתָה הַבְּרָכָה לִיהוּדִית
שֶׁשָּׁבָה אֶל בְּאֵרָהּ.

Reb Gutman Locks VERSUS e-Cigarettes

   by Reb Gutman Locks
    I Think I Got One

A religious boy walked by me early this morning at the Kotel smoking one of those E-cigarettes! I waited until he walked back and then I shook my finger at him saying how wrong he was to be smoking there at the Kotel. He kept on going but a few minutes later, he came back and said, “There are poskim (law deciders) who say it is alright to smoke these cigarettes.”

I answered, “Two things! One, you are smoking in a holy place making a bad smell that is bothering Jews who are trying to learn Torah or say Psalms.

“And two, they did a study and found that boys who smoke e-cigarettes have less seeds in their sperm and smaller testicles than boys who do not smoke them! Look what you are doing to yourself!” And I motioned how he was shrinking himself!

His face changed! It seems like he heard what I was saying.

Will he stop smoking that pipe? I am not sure, but he got the information, and it seemed like something got into his head.
