One Little Kid

Chad Gad Ya...thats how i feel right now. A measly little piece of livestock stranded in this huge field. I must kasher my entire apartment before tomorrow. The task before me is filled with trials and tribulations. I separated everything and put my chametz into garbage bags. I found a website where i can sell my chametz online: https://www.mychabad.org/holidays/passover/sell_chometz.asp?aid=111191&jewish=Sell-Your-Chametz-Online.htm&site=chabad.org
Right now, I will "fully empower and permit Rabbi Yosef Landa to act in my place and stead, and on my behalf to sell all chametz possessed by me, knowingly or unknowingly as defined by the Torah and Rabbinic Law (e.g. chametz, possible chametz, and all kind of chametz mixtures).

Also chametz that tends to harden and adhere to surfaces of pans, pots, or cooking utensils, the utensils themselves, as well as pet food that contain chametz and mixtures thereof."

Who is this Yosef Landa? Why out of all the Chabad rabbis is he the one "empowered" to do this. Maybe he's an ex-baker and has a lot of experience with bread. Maybe he has connections with the "homies" and goishah gangstas to which he can sell my chametz. Maybe he's making the world's largest French Onion soup and needs a lot of yids' croutons. Overall, it seems like a very OCD drug deal (not that i have experience with a good or bad drug deal), or maybe some weird cult initiation, or a field trip permission slip with a liability clause.

Anyways, everyone's hyped about Pesach. I passed a street in Mea Shearim (the religious quarter of jerusalem) and there were giant vats of boiling water for jews to put their pots and pans and other kitchenwares to deem them kosher for passover. Mostly all the restaraunts have switched over to kosher-for-passover, and the aisles of my local supermarket are brimming with passover edibles. It's so easy to do here, but it's hard for this whole process to have meaning without a family to accompany me. But, Hannah will be coming here tomorrow, and I'll be sitting at a seder with a big moroccan family. I am very excited.

Oh....and I got a Flickr... It's a website to post images on so that my non-facebook friends can view my art and such. It's really just a way for me to have an organized, ready-to-go portfolio : http://www.flickr.com/photos/ganzilla/
