Hi, fellow nashim tzidkoniyos!
So Zevuly is actively preparing for Shavuos by adding an extra nap every day, so he can stay up Shavuos night! What a perfect Tzaddikel!
He claims that bedtime is the most practical time for his extra nap, even though he would LOVE to help me put Zissy, Zeldy, Zevy, Zechariah, Zahava, Zalmy, Zlaty and baby Zeeshele to sleep.
Oh, and he added another very selfless Chumrah this year. He always used to have the Minhag of having 49 types of dairy dishes on Shavuos, l'zecher .... Yes, the days of Sefira. Yes, he's holy like that Angel
This year, he's being extra Mehadrin and requesting a mere 150 different dairy dishes to symbolize all the kapitlach of the holy tehillim. What tremendous depth he possess Can't Believe It
What interesting minhagim do your Tzaddikim have?
My Zanvush is always ready for more Very Happy

I sure hope he took a week off from work to get the sleep needed. One added nap is not enough imo.

Btw, You're blessed. Don't brag. This post can cause E''H ch"v.

Our Minhag is to sleep (obviously only the women) in rose bushes to symbolize Matan Torah and that Torah is only acquired with yisdurim

Guy to friend: My wife works really hard to help me remember sefira. The first night she makes one blintz, the second night two, the third night three...
Friend: What happens if she forgets to make them?
Guy: Then I eat the rest without a bracha.

Ita.

It always disturbed me that dh is so ready to help at bedtime instead of shteiging and now you just poured salt on the wounds. Sleeping? Likvod hatorah? At the exact time children are being showered and put to sleep? What could be greater than that?

I have to post anonymous, in case someone recognizes my holy husband from this post.

My husband is so frum, that he has asked me to incorporate milk and honey into ALL of the courses for the milchig part of our Shavuos Seudah. We also try to include the number 10 (for the Aseres Hadibros) into our meals.

So we will have 10 challos braided into a unique Torah shape, because they will be kneaded with milk and honey and according to halacha dairy bread must look unique. We will have a salad (the lettuce was grown in hothouses and a specially trained dog sniffed it for bugs, and I check it with a lightbox 3 times) with 10 kinds of vegetables and a honey vinaigrette. I am making a lightly sweetened cream of sweet potato soup. And of course, delicious homemade honey-drizzled blintzes (we like them because they are rolled like a Torah).

We are not allowed to speak to him all day Shavuos because he is busy reviewing the Torah he learned all night so he knows it Baal Peh. I have to be very careful because if the kids forget and talk to him, then he might forget something that he learned, and forgetting your Torah is a big aveira, plus he might forget and get angry and that is also a big aveira.

We sing a special song that my husband composed about the Aseres Hadibros. It takes about 24 minutes to sing, and even though it doesn't really rhyme and the tune isn't really a tune, it is very holy and beautiful once it is over.

My husband also wears a very spiritual costume on Shavuos, so that he will look like Moshe Rabbeinu. It has a really inspirational hat that radiates light. So we give him a mask, like Moshe, in case his face shines too.

Another goldenrod, hate to nitpick between all the holiness- but better I be the yenta/shvigger pointing it out then ch’v having the satan catch on & chalila be mekatrig. I really don’t mean to be offensive... but, Ok, so I’m talking about the vinaigrette, please please don’t use that to dress your salad. It might come off as an insult to the holy Torah. You’re doing everything so so right that I’m pashut scared for you.
Please take my words of wisdom with a grain of salt.

Love, your fellow tzadeikus & Eishes chayil to a bigger tzaddik then yours (proof? He wears his Purim wit all yr long)

I have a special dress that reminds us of the Har- you know the one that has a cone on top- I think Lev Tahor wears it for all year round- but I save it as a special dress lkovod shavuos.

Then I make kolos ubrakim, to remind us of the thunder & lightning at Matan TORAH.
I also make sure to break at least two plates to remind us of the the broken luchos.

I also set a fence around the table that holds the dairy delectable for the kiddush, so nobody can come close or touch before the intended time. , ( that way its not polished off before the guests arrive) but really I put up the fence as a zecher to the fence around the har.

I think we win the holy contest, by far.

What’s up with you- Bc? Only 8? Can't Believe It
Practically speaking now (if you’ll still talk to me after my blunt comment- but got to defend myself- doesn’t pas for such a holy family to not have children in the triple digits... if you can’t birth them- then by all means- do adopt)
Anyway, do where was I? Oh, ya, the dishes & cheesecakes, do you share your recipes? Because we make 613 to signify all mitzvos & (don’t let my other half/tzadik hear this) I’m running out of recipe ideas Surprised Crying

I think I will delete my previous posts. I spoke to my rav ( my chushuve husband) and he said that anavah is very important shavuous. Especially as that is the lesson derived from the very humble har Sinai

We hold that as long as there are 613 ingredients you can be Yotze.

You know gamzehyaavor, I actually did try to make the dressing one time with just a grain of salt to avoid all things vinegar, but then my poor husband was very grossified by the salad and he, if you pardon my expression, breched it back up. And then he had to eat the whole seudah again from the beginning to be yotzei!

So we asked Daas Torah, otherwise known as my dear and holy husband whose wisdom and humility rival all other mortals, and he paskened that the vinegar can be considered botul since the honey is obviously the main ingredient, which is why it's called HONEY vinaigrette and not vinegar honeygeredt. But not to embarrass the grain of salt, I kashered it and will save it for the saltwater on Pesach (assuming someone can share a recipe, my last one got destroyed when I kashered my Pesach cabinets).

I am very inspired by the beautiful minhagim shared by dankbar. It is actually so interesting, because although I did break many dishes when rushing to bring out the 10 blintzes last year, I hadn't realized that I was just being mechaven and being mekayem such an inspirational minhag!

This year I will try to do it on purpose, although I might take off the blintzes first, because it is our minhag that we lick all honey instead of wiping it up and throwing it out (like we do by the areinfirenish) so my poor children had to lick the honey-drizzled blintzes off the floor. It is a good thing that my cleaning lady had been able to come Motzei Shabbos to wash the floor, because I don't know the halacha if the honey gets dirty. It might be okay to lick anyhow, because of the halacha that bee parts in honey are mutar, so al achas kama vekama holy dirt from holy feet like my husband's. (I don't know why holy feet smell so much, maybe so they can be used for besomim if you run out.)

I don't mean to destroy your Shalom Bayis, but my husband is obviously much bigger of a tzadik than yours. And I am saying this in the most humble way, but when they made up the name "imamother" as the consummate Eishes Chayil, they were referring to me.
