Pico Blvd’s Beit Midrash Owner Jailed

UPDATE: Chaim Mekel is out of jail. He has to do community service every day but can sleep at home.

He was sent to jail because of a child support custody case.

I got this email Wednesday morning:

This is a URGENT request to help Chaim Mekel who started the Kollel Rashbi Ari. He came from Israel two weeks ago and was arrested the following day on an old case(20 years). He has been in jail for two weeks now, and the first week he did not get Kosher food and did not even have a siddur. We need to raise $10,000 to get him out of jail. Any help will be appreciated. Please realize what a big opportunity this is. Today we dont get the opportunity often to redeem a Jew from a gentile jail. This is from stories hundreds of years ago. This is the 2008 version. A Talmid Chacham is in jail and we can help redeem him with money. Your help will be greatly appreciated. I thank you in advance and wish you a Rosh Chodesh.

Sh’ma Ysrael! Watch Luke Ford Live On The Hovel Cam As He Recites His Morning Prayers

Join Torah Jews and righteous Gentiles from around the world as we uncover the true meaning of prayer.

The things the rabbis never taught you!

Please join! I need a virtual minyan (ten men, sheilas don’t count) to say certain prayers.

You could win a free pair of Ginsu knives.

I feel like there’s a straight line in epochal Jewish communication from the revelation of the Torah to the Rambam to my Hovel Cam.

guest4:  Luke, what is uip with the Hasedic look? No money for razors in your sheckle pile?
guest4:  Your sidelocks are obscured.  Please adjust them.
guest4:  Is that a miner’s lamp on your forehead?  Have you paid the light bill?
guest4:  Are you currently nude from the waist down?
guest4:  Your laugh is frightening.
guest4:  This is like watching the killer in silence of the lambs only not through night vision goggles.
guest4:  "Rub the lotion on the skin."
guest1:  It was a true bracha to daven with you
guest4:  You are brave to document your mental deterioration in this fashion.  The video will no doubt be on your E! True Hollywood Story:  Luke Ford – The Decline.
guest1:  Beard = more jewish!
guest4:  I am still not convinced that you are no pants-less right now.
guest7:  they’ve dug up padre pio–i think the church was concerned you are moving in on their territory

User guest12 changed their name to Toronto.
guest1:  does anyone need a healing?
guest7:  for sure
Toronto:  i need a financial one
Toronto:  but I have been praying about it
guest7:  luke however doesn’t look like a healer right now

The Tiger and the Pussycat

I love pussycats but sometimes I like to run with the tigers.

The problem with tigers is that they sometimes claw you and often turn out to be quite deranged. That’s kinda cool in small contained doses — hey, live your dreams — but they can turn your life chaotic and that’s not the Torah’s way.

A frum life is about order.

Write that down, kids.

Some women who act like tigers turn out to be pussycats and vice versa.

My normal preference is for demure women who turn out to be tigers, but only tigers in the zoo, not running wild on the streets, if you get my drift.

That’s why frum chicks are the coolest. The mehitza creates desire.

As our sages remind us, the longer the skirt, the quicker it comes off.

Many years ago, before I moved to L.A., I met this woman through a Jews for Jesus singles service. Don’t ask. I was trying everything at the time to meet chix (I had no belief in Jesus but I had a strong belief in the transformative effect of a good woman, and even that of a bad woman can be cool).

This woman’s mom placed the ad. They were both shiksas.

I took the daughter (nine years older than me) out to dinner. On Shabbat, I took her to shul. Motzi Shabbos, she took me home.

It’s the way things should be.

She was living with her mom after her third divorce. 

In the morning the mom says to me, "She’s a tiger, isn’t she?"

I about died.

I’m very demure.

HollyRandall:  hey luke we miss your COD
HollyRandall:  we really do
YourMoralLeader:  thank you, it’s made zero impact on hollywood,
YourMoralLeader:  it’s better suited for porn
HollyRandall:  pornstars have been looking too good in photographs recently
HollyRandall:  it’s unnatural
bornyo:  mary misses you 🙁
bornyo:  she has no one to talk to when she sleeps with nba players, shes lost without you
User guest149 left the room.
YourMoralLeader:  Among the most scary parts of life are when you lean in for the first time to kiss a girl. I’ll be thinking about it for hours or days sometimes. Other times I’m feeling real strong and smooth and I just swoop in.
YourMoralLeader:  About a fifth of the time, the girl has been the first one to kiss me. Much of the time the girl says, "I thought you were never going to do that."
YourMoralLeader:  Holly had to make the first move on me.
bornyo:  hot
MirthalaVillaSalinasNunez:  Lukester ..  just imagine michael moore and you’ll be ok .. that will keep from worrying about it
YourMoralLeader:   I’m slow. I’m so verbal I’ve usually talked everything out and through with her before I make my first move.Once this grad student 15 years younger said to me as I was leaning in the first time, "I heard you were in a porno."
MirthalaVillaSalinasNunez:  or tony and one of lapd security babes .. you know what I mean .. I YI YI YI YI 🙂
YourMoralLeader:  There’s no predicting how she’s going to react. Getting rejected here puts your relationship in a very awkward state. She’ll likely come out with the "I just want to be friends" line and you’re condemned to purgatory.According to the book "The Game," you
bornyo:  what a lovely story, one to share with the family over christmas
HollyRandall:  LOL
YourMoralLeader:  you let the conversation trail off and then look her in the eye. If she stares back at you for three seconds, she’s ready to kiss.
YourMoralLeader:  would you agree, Holly?
MirthalaVillaSalinasNunez:  luke!
MirthalaVillaSalinasNunez:   where’s the moonshine!
YourMoralLeader:  Other suggestions:* Tell yourself you’re a caveman and she’s just practice.* Ask for a massage because you’re sore from playing basketball. Then tell her she’s doing it wrong and you’ll show her how to do it right…
bornyo:  god those books are complete crap theres no formula to it
MirthalaVillaSalinasNunez:  take a swag!
YourMoralLeader:  u want me to bring back the gun?
YourMoralLeader:  * Ask her to stick out her tongue. Then start sucking on it. If she protests, and slaps you, you’ve got a great story.
MirthalaVillaSalinasNunez:  YOU MIGHT GET  JACK DANIELS COMMERICAL!
guest151:  Moral what?  leader?
bornyo:  i was expecting a nice clean chat, im disappointed
MirthalaVillaSalinasNunez:  YOU AUSSIE HILLBILLY!  .. 
YourMoralLeader:  * Get her to focus on something else. I’ve found watching a movie together rocks. You both lie down on the floor and you start watching the movie and you snuggle up and… This has never failed me. Point out the view or your puppets or the TV or something
YourMoralLeader:  * Ask to show her something on your computer. Winamp visualizations etc. Kiss her on the cheek. If she turns to you, kiss her on the lips.
bornyo:  god what movies do you enjoy watching luke?
MirthalaVillaSalinasNunez:  WHERES YOUR BANJO! DANCE BOY DANCE!
guest151:  Moral……..u have no MORALS
YourMoralLeader:  So why does any of this matter? "A man has only one escape form his old self: to see a different self in the mirror of some woman’s eyes." (Clare Boothe Luce)

the latest LA Weekly has a cover story on how LA politicos and developers are trying to turn LA into a high-density city, with apartment buildings without parking (in theory, public transit would be used…in theory) and how this runs counter to what Zev Yaroslavsky and others fought in the 80’s to avoid. And so on.

The mayor has ducked out of the conversation, basically, leaving others including some from obscure city and state departments to decide on how things will be, etc.

I don’t know how much you’re focussed these days on local stories, but if you still think that’s where the action is, this seems interesting.
And, just a reminder–looks like the Pellicano stuff is heating up. The NY Times has an article. Also, a good long thing on DeadlineHollywood where Nikki F. details the who’s-and-why’s for people who don’t know or don’t recall: deadlinehollywooddaily.com/what-a-surpise-hollywood-only-bit-player-in-pellicano-trial/

("surpise" is the way it is in the link).

Also some stuff further up on her blog about how P. may go through 2 trials not just one.

PrimeGrill bites the dust? Mamash next?

Rumors are circulating that PrimeGrill has been sold to a non-Jewish group and it’s days as a Kosher restaurant are over. Stand by for further information and confirmation over the next few days. Is Mamash next?

Jane IMs: "I was wondering–why are some of the expensive restaurants supposed to be closing? There’s money out there and Shilo’s I think is doing well, so what’s up w/Prime Grill and Mamash–it’s only been open a few months or so and people like sushi, etc.?"

G-d’s will. You’ll understand, Jane, when you are as religious as I am.

These restaurants are dying for your sins of failing to patronize them. It’s your fault.

Young Israel of North Beverly Hills is interviewing Rabbi Nachum Braverman for the post. He’d be a great selection. Rabbi Braverman is a distinguished lecturer and author. He has great people skills. He’s inspiring. He’s real. He’s holy. He’s the man. I love that guy.

When Is She Ready To Kiss?

Among the most scary parts of life are when you lean in for the first time to kiss a girl. I’ll be thinking about it for hours or days sometimes. Other times I’m feeling real strong and smooth and I just swoop in.

About a fifth of the time, the girl has been the first one to kiss me. Much of the time the girl says, "I thought you were never going to do that."

So I’m slow. I’m so verbal I’ve usually talked everything out and through with her before I make my first move.

Once this grad student 15 years younger said to me as I was leaning in the first time, "I heard you were in a porno."

So I had to explain that, not easy, and then moved in and conquered…

There’s no predicting how she’s going to react. Getting rejected here puts your relationship in a very awkward state. She’ll likely come out with the "I just want to be friends" line and you’re condemned to purgatory.

According to the book "The Game," you let the conversation trail off and then look her in the eye. If she stares back at you for three seconds, she’s ready to kiss.

Other suggestions:

* Tell yourself you’re a caveman and she’s just practice.

* Ask for a massage because you’re sore from playing basketball. Then tell her she’s doing it wrong and you’ll show her how to do it right…

* Ask her to stick out her tongue. Then start sucking on it. If she protests, and slaps you, you’ve got a great story.

* Ask to show her something on your computer. Winamp visualizations etc. Kiss her on the cheek. If she turns to you, kiss her on the lips.

* Get her to focus on something else. I’ve found watching a movie together rocks. You both lie down on the floor and you start watching the movie and you snuggle up and… This has never failed me. Point out the view or your puppets or the TV or something on the internet and talk logically to distract her while you start making your moves. Women are dying for an excuse to be swept away.

So why does any of this matter? "A man has only one escape form his old self: to see a different self in the mirror of some woman’s eyes." (Clare Boothe Luce)

I’m Not Doing Anything Obscene On My Webcam

I was just checking myself out on my webcam. My face was strained and all screwed up before a happy release. I was rocking in my chair. It looked obscene because you couldn’t see the weights I was working out just below the camera line. That’s all it is, folks. Just a healthy manly workout like Bill Murray washing golf balls in Caddyshack.

I have My Moral Leader, a very great sage from the East, in my chat room now.

guest135:  Um, I’m new here. But I like it – it’s like a candlelight dinner at your place, without the candlelight or dinner.
At least the Valley Village chabad rabbi is interesting to listen to. The new guy at Shaarey Zedek is a standard issue frummie, not very learned or much of a thinker. The shul is dull.

Sephardim are rational — Ashkenazim, not so much

Dennis Wilen writes:

From an essay in Zeek — A Sephardic Answer to Modern Jewish Identity
By David Rabeeya:

" . . . Ashkenazic authorities traditionally have placed a “fence around the Torah,” enlarging restrictions in order to be sure not to risk breaking the original rules. At least in the past, however, Sephardi Jews did not add such extra restrictions, believing it was more important to trust in the intelligence and integrity of Jews to follow the laws as written. In general, Sephardim, as rationalists, tend to believe that individuals who are well-schooled in the tradition should have fairly wide latitude to judge principles for themselves.

Do little, but do right, could be said to be how many Sephardi Jews regard Jewish law. A Jew should try to follow the Jewish law, but he must not be controlled by inventions of religious leaders which could lead to fanaticism, radicalism and irrationality. . .

I turn into a Sephardi every Pesach.

Maybe it’s time for a more permanent transformation!

Improve Your Sex Life By Wearing High Heels

I get a lot of questions from women on what they should wear to shul.

Well, my favorite outfits on women are the high-powered professional stuff that Aly McBeal might wear. Feminine stuff. Not manly suits. High heels and lacy filmy stuff. Like she was about to argue her case before the Supreme Court.

From the editors at Netscape:

Call it heel appeal. Women who wear high heels may give their sex life a boost, and it has nothing to do with the effect these sexy shoes have on men and their libido.

Italian urologist Dr. Maria Cerruto of the University of Verona has concluded that walking in higher heels–and they don’t have to be stilettos–gives a workout to the pelvic floor muscles, the pleasure muscles that are linked to orgasm.

This may be the first scientific study to show high heels are good for a woman’s health. Previous research has shown such shoes can give women everything from stress fractures to schizophrenia, not to mention corns and sore feet.

The BBC News and London’s Daily Mail report that Cerruto’s study of 66 women under age 50 found that those who held their foot at a 15-degree angle to the ground, which is the same effect as a two-inch heel, had posture that was just as good as those who wore flat shoes. But these women also showed less electrical activity in their pelvic muscles, which indicates those muscles were at an optimum position. Cerruto maintains this could improve the strength and ability of the pelvic muscles to contract. These muscles assist sexual performance and satisfaction, as well as provide vital support to the pelvic organs, which include the bladder, bowels and uterus.

Pregnancy and childbirth, as well as aging, can weaken the pelvic muscles. Exercises help, but Cerruto theorizes that wearing two-inch high heels may be enough to eliminate the need for those exercises. "Women often have difficulty in carrying out the right exercises for the pelvic zone and wearing heels could be the solution," she told the BBC. "Like many women, I like high-heeled shoes. It’s good to know they have potential health benefits."

But moderation counts! Shoe designer Manolo Blahnik told The Daily Mail, "I think there’s a limit, though. Anything over four-and-a-half inches is just too much. You can’t walk properly; it’s no longer elegant."

The study was published as a letter in the journal European Urology.
