The Bathroom break! –Here is the text for the ‘bathroom blessing’ said after leaving bathroom & washing ones hands. Great source for health too!

Blessed are You, God, our God, sovereign of the universe, who formed humans with wisdom and created within him many openings and many hollows. It is obvious in the presence of your glorious throne that if one of them were ruptured, or if one of them were blocked, it would be impossible to exist and stand in your presence. Blessed are You, God, who heals all flesh and performs wonders.

Do you have at least one good kosher joke for your Super Bowl party? Proceed with caution if your rabbi is with you!

The Rabbi and his wife were cleaning up the house. The Rabbi came across a box he didn't recognize.  His wife told him to leave it alone, it was personal. 

One day, she was out and his curiosity got the better of him.  He opened the box and inside he found 3 eggs and $2000.  When his wife came home, he admitted that he had opened the box and asked her to explain the contents to him.

She told him, every time he had a bad sermon, she would put an egg in the box.  He thought to himself, "In twenty years, only three bad sermons, that's not bad."  His wife continued, "And every time I got a dozen eggs, I would sell them for $1."

Thought-Goals & Gates

The objective of the game is to move a ball into a "goal" or "gate." What can all this teach us regarding our daily endeavors and inner lives? The earth is a sphere. The objective of life is to move this "ball" into the gate of the Almighty. By fulfilling the mitzvot of the Torah, we move the world toward the goal of its creation.

Thought-Are you a Fan or a Player?

There are players and fans. The fans can leave when they like — they're not part of the game. But the players need to stay and try to win until the game is over. This is a lesson in our commitment to Judaism. "You can be either a fan or a player. Be a player!"

Rabbi Perl, any thoughts on who may win?

Not really. Biblically speaking what comes to mind is that the Jewish people are 49ers. After leaving Egypt they made it successfully to Mount Sinai in 49 days! While the Raven in Noah’s Ark, couldn’t deliver the olive branch!
