Twaddle of the First Degree

In their spare time, my kids have been keeping themselves endlessly and ridiculously amused with these Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head Cut-Outs that I created for Gavriel Zev. Turns out Naomi likes them, too, because she can make “Mrs. P.” as fancy and colourful as she likes.

So I decided to share it as a printable, even though it’s made up of bits and pieces scavenged from all over the Internet. If any of these graphics belong to you, I apologize, but assure you that I am not making the least bit of profit or even having much fun making them available to my admiring public. Just trying to spread the paper-wastin’ love…

There are three pages: one with the potato “body shape” outline, one with generic / “Mr.” parts, and one with “Mrs.”parts.

If your kids request something else – a party hat or beard or whatever, just Google it and print one out that’s about the right size! Gavriel Zev has actually been having a great time pasting socks from the sock-match activity that goes with the poem “Diddle, Diddle, Dumpling” in Literature Pockets: Nursery Rhymes.

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad. She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel. She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.” I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community. Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos. Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach . Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused o...
