@Tzivers I do understand. The World to Come of which you speak is the one most of us hope to avoid.

Happy Chanukah from O’Brien, who does not understand the concept of fire safety.

[Ora Damelin Schefres @ItisIOra]

@Tzivers One word: No.

@TheTonightSho Mazal Tov!!!

Got work off so I’m using the day to practice self-care. (Catching a morning showing of Anora with a bunch of friendly retirees.)

Highly recommend going to see Conclave while wearing a “I Voted” sticker.

[Ora Damelin Schefres @ItisIOra]

Wore my sheital to work for headshots-I normally wear headscarves- and everyone did a terrible job of pretending not to notice.

[Ora Damelin Schefres @ItisIOra]

@tallitlikeitis Wait- which podcast? I have somehow never heard of this before!

[Ora Damelin Schefres @ItisIOra]

My bad Tisha Ba’av opinion is that the made for television film Escape from Sobibor, is not just bad, but is somehow unintentionally funny despite it being a Holocaust movie.

[Ora Damelin Schefres @ItisIOra]

@TaliaRinger It’s a huge problem- and race/location does have a lot to do with it. The podcast does touch on it, which is why I highly recommend it.

One of the most beautifully shot and edited films ever made, and every few seconds, Omar Sharif’s camel reminds you that she has important opinions and must share them now.

[Ora Damelin Schefres @ItisIOra]

Took the rocket scientist to go see Lawrence of Arabia in 70mm and while it was an incredible experience, I found myself surprised by the sheer quantity of camel noises.

@tallitlikeitis I had to fight the urge to run into your kitchen, and pull the dough out of the mixer.

You need to knead by hand-my preferred method since it doubles as a workout- or use something built for bread, like a Bosch.

[Ora Damelin Schefres @ItisIOra]

@tallitlikeitis Do not make challah in the kitchenaid! It ruins the engine. But there are so many options- cake, pavlova, cookies, more cake!

[Ora Damelin Schefres @ItisIOra]

@tallitlikeitis I suppose they are not allergic to steak. Only everything else.

[Ora Damelin Schefres @ItisIOra]

@tallitlikeitis Is this in reference to the celiac-may-his-name-be-erased?

[Ora Damelin Schefres @ItisIOra]

The latest in Orthodox Facebook group drama: a woman posted that her marriage is on the fritz after her husband found a voice message on his dead mom’s phone from a Kabbalist, who claimed his wife was a terrible person with an evil soul.

[Ora Damelin Schefres @ItisIOra]

@the_ceejay Oh my god.

[Ora Damelin Schefres @ItisIOra]

@the_ceejay Did you see the clip of him singing? He’s fantastic, but slightly flat-the exact same way “Uncle Frank” was.
