Mourner’s Kaddish in Aramaic


אבל: יִתְגַּדַּל וְיִתְקַדַּשׁ שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּא. [קהל: אמן] בְּעָלְמָא דִּי בְרָא כִרְעוּתֵהּ וְיַמְלִיךְ מַלְכוּתֵהּ בְּחַיֵּיכון וּבְיומֵיכון וּבְחַיֵּי דְכָל בֵּית יִשרָאֵל בַּעֲגָלָא וּבִזְמַן קָרִיב, וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן: [קהל: אמן] קהל ואבל: יְהֵא שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּא מְבָרַךְ לְעָלַם וּלְעָלְמֵי עָלְמַיָּא:
אבל: יִתְבָּרַךְ וְיִשְׁתַּבַּח וְיִתְפָּאַר וְיִתְרומַם וְיִתְנַשּא וְיִתְהַדָּר וְיִתְעַלֶּה וְיִתְהַלָּל שְׁמֵהּ דְּקֻדְשָׁא. בְּרִיךְ הוּא. [קהל: בריך הוא:] לְעֵלָּא מִן כָּל בִּרְכָתָא בעשי”ת: לְעֵלָּא לְעֵלָּא מִכָּל וְשִׁירָתָא תֻּשְׁבְּחָתָא וְנֶחֱמָתָא דַּאֲמִירָן בְּעָלְמָא. וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן: [קהל: אמן] יְהֵא שְׁלָמָא רַבָּא מִן שְׁמַיָּא וְחַיִּים עָלֵינוּ וְעַל כָּל יִשרָאֵל. וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן: [קהל:אמן] עושה שָׁלום בעשי”ת: הַשָּׁלום בִּמְרומָיו הוּא יַעֲשה שָׁלום עָלֵינוּ וְעַל כָּל יִשרָאֵל וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן:

#tbt Dead cat edition

This was Kiki. Kiki was pure evil. She did like my grandmother but she hated everyone else. I swear she would spit/ hiss/ scratch anyone who would look at her the wrong way. It is a wonder I like cats having grown up with this creature.

Oh the 80s!

I really shouldn’t snark too much because I am an affiliate of Leisure Arts, Inc. but sometimes I look at vintage patterns and wonder just WTF people were thinking.

Leisure Arts #164 Sweater Sets to Knit and Crochet
Leisure Arts #164 Sweater Sets to Knit and Crochet

Now take the pictured vintage sweater set pattern as an example. The sweaters or vests individually would not be that awful- but together? Did I mention that the stuff is made from worsted weight yarn? Hi, it’s winter and you feel bulky enough as it is but to wear TWO worsted weight cabled or crocheted items together? Maybe if you were trying to save money on heating…

(and only about another 30 Leisure Arts, Inc. pamphlets to go through as I’m finally getting around to updating my Ravelry library)
