Talk about Erev Pesach the pressure of getting ready for the Seder, making sure there is no chometz, turning over the kitchen, cooking the zeroa, making charoses etc. Men usually have easy chores when it comes to Erev Pesach its the Nashim tzidkaniyos that are the ones knocked out when we sit by the seder.

Its on Erev Sukkos when rolls are reversed that the men get to feel a bit what it is for the women on Erev Pesach. Talk about the stress of getting the sukkah up, making sure its sturdy, adding 2 new panels, last minute runs to the local hardware store- a screw and bolt here, a light fixture, oops need to run back for an adapter since its 3 prongs, Setting the shabbos clock, putting up the decorations. Then its back to the store for another 6x4 mat for the schach and a fold-able cot for the son in law who sleeps in the sukkah.
Then comes the Daled minim, checking the esrog one more time, placing it in the polished Esrog holder (Ladies job ) running out to get Aravos, a chinuch set, and of course putting it all together keeping it moist and ready to use. Oh, forgot the Lulav rings.. How do you make them? Click HERE for this short video clip on how to make the lulav rings.
Finally on the way to shul a voice yells.. you forget to open the shlock!!
Get the succah done two weeks ago. Shoitah men!

ReplyDeleteregurgitating old mediocrity?
ReplyDeleteagain and again ad nauseum
DeleteDoesn't even make sense.
DeleteWomen don't start cleaning and men don't start their sukka on Erev sukkos
Well some of us work , and with the amount of working days cut off because of yom tovim, today is the day etc.
ReplyDeletedo you really think this post is good enough to put up again and again every year for 5 years straight?
ReplyDeleteobviously yes.
DeleteSorry you can't compare the men's erev sukkos to the ladies erev oesach. Do you remember that the ladies cook for pesach and they don't cook weeks in advance and the amount of food needed. Erev sukkos as well the ladies have been cooking for a month of yomim tovim. Most women work as well, make supper every night and in between do the clothing ahopoing. . Yes the men work or are in yeshiva but this isn't even comparable. Sorry men.
ReplyDeleteThis is old garbage. Getting something new,
ReplyDeleteLotta folks pay bochurim to do their sukkah
ReplyDeleteWell let's see I'm on my third load of laundry for the day and I already fed and dressed a houseful of kids. On top of the cooking I still need to do. So my husband needs to finish up the sukka and buy aravos. But why compare? We're in this together
ReplyDeleteExactly we’re a team and we all work hard but us men are nowhere near as geshikt as the ladies who get so much done in so little time.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should frame this post and present it to your eishes chayel. It will make her feel good and a boost
DeleteShe went to nshei she doesn’t need another boost!
ReplyDeleteHahaha very good!
DeleteAs the joke goes, if the women had to build a sukkah and the men had to clean for Pesach, they would both start Erev Pesach!
