It's official, I'm a Jewish hillbilly
It's true. And I admit it.
From time to time I'll park my car on my front lawn.
But, in reality, that just makes me lazy. Like tonight for example; after work I went food shopping in Karmiel, came home late, and brought the groceries into the kitchen. Since my parking spot is around the other side of the house, it is just convenient to park on the grass near the front door.
So what makes me a Jewish hillbilly?
Well for starters, I live in the middle of nowhere. And I love that. I love the fact that I can lead an Orthodox Jewish lifestyle out in the sticks. You can't find that in Montana now, can you?
But the real reason, and this goes back to the front lawn, is Natan. He's a little over two and is in the early stages of trying to figure out the whole toilet training business.
When he has to pee, he takes off his diaper and runs out the door and relieves himself with the breeze on his behind. Now, I think that's real smart. First of all, I love nature, too (albeit in the woods and not on my front lawn), but I think he realizes the garden is a much bigger target than the toilet bowl.
I couldn't agree with him more and encourage him use the lawn as his urinal. And someone who advocates this kind of behavior, in my humble opinion, is a hillbilly.
Remember, learn from Natan and aim big -- just avoid the wet spots on the front lawn.

i gotta tell you, your latest picture you added makes you look a lot more like a "Jed Clampett" than a tzfat-meditating breslov-kippa-wearing shmoogle.
well, we all can take inspiration from a golan tyke like natan. reminds me of a young eskimo's first lesson: never eat yellow snow.
Lol! Hilarious!
Toilet training...ugh! If running out to the front lawn works well go for it! Lol!
:D
That's too funny! Great post.
Actually, a new Chabad Shaliach just moved out to Montana...so there goes that :)
hubscubs: And to think I've been meaning to add that photo for a while now - it's "min hashamayim" I tell you!
baleboosteh/double take: Thanks chiming in. Your comments are always appreciated.
eytan: I can't say I didn't see that comment coming! But I get to tell you, I was trying to find a good spot and thought of Wyoming first. But then I thought it was too close to Colorado.
You would have been better off choosing Wyoming :)
The only states without a Shaliach are: North Dakota, South Dakota, Mississippi and Wyoming.
Having personally been to both Montana and Wyoming, I highly recommend them to anyone wanting an autehtic cowboy vacation!
