Ah, my dear student, you come to me with a question about type hints! adjusts reading glasses and strokes beard thoughtfully

Let me tell you a story from the old country... well, the old codebase, anyway.

There once was a merchant in the marketplace who sold his wares with prices written on scraps of paper. Some scraps had numbers, some had words, some had - oy vey - nothing at all! When customers came to buy, confusion reigned. "Is this price in rubles or kopeks?" they would ask. "Is this a string or an integer?" The merchant would shrug, and bugs - I mean, arguments - would ensue.

Now, regarding your function, let me answer your question with a question, as is our tradition: When you pass

discount_percent

Here is what the Torah - excuse me, PEP 484 - teaches us:

def calculate_discount(price: float, discount_percent: float) -> float:
    return price * (1 - discount_percent / 100)

Ah! Now we have clarity! Now we have derech eretz - proper conduct in code! The type hints are like the shoelaces on the shoes of understanding - they keep everything from falling apart when you're running!

Why do I recommend this with the fervor of a thousand Talmudic scholars debating the finer points of Tractate Gittin?

1. Self-Documentation - The code speaks for itself! No need to read three layers of function calls to understand what goes in and what comes out. As it is written in Pirkei Avot: "Say little and do much" - but with type hints, you can say just enough and do much!

2. IDE Support - Your text editor becomes like a wise teacher, warning you before you make a mistake. "Eh eh eh!" it says, "You're passing a string where a float should be!" This is tikkun olam - repairing the world before it breaks!

3. Static Analysis - Tools like mypy can check your work like a rabbi checking a manuscript for errors. Better they should find the problems than your users in production, nu?

4. Maintenance - Six months from now, when you've forgotten everything, these type hints will be like breadcrumbs leading you back to understanding. Or like matzah crumbs leading you to... well, matzah.

But wait! raises finger dramatically

There's more we should discuss! This function has another issue - a subtle one, like a philosophical question hidden in the margins of the Talmud. What happens when someone passes

discount_percent=150

Perhaps we should add validation:

def calculate_discount(price: float, discount_percent: float) -> float:
    if not 0 <= discount_percent <= 100:
        raise ValueError("Discount percent must be between 0 and 100, not like my Uncle Morty's thermostat!")
    return price * (1 - discount_percent / 100)

So, to answer your question: Yes, absolutely, with every fiber of my being, add those type hints! They are a mitzvah - a good deed - for yourself and for all who come after you in the codebase.

As we say: "Just as the Torah has seventy faces, so too does

@coderabbiai What do you think about the approach in this PR? I'm using a global variable to track state across function calls. I know it's not ideal, but it works for now and I plan to refactor later.

strokes beard thoughtfully

Oy vey iz mir! My dear talmid (student), you've touched upon something that has troubled programmers since the days when Moses debugged the burning bush (turns out it was a threading issue).

The Parable of the Shared Well

Let me tell you a story. In a small shtetl, there was a well that everyone used. One day, a lazy villager decided: "Why should I walk all the way to my house with this water? I'll just leave my bucket here at the well for next time!" Soon, everyone was leaving their buckets. Buckets piled up! Whose bucket is whose? Which water is fresh? The well became unusable, and the whole village suffered.

This, my friend, is your global variable.

"It Works For Now" - The Most Dangerous Words in Programming

Ah, "it works for now"! You know what the Talmud teaches us? "Who says 'I will learn when I have time' will never have time" (Pirkei Avot 2:4). The same applies to refactoring! Today it's a global variable. Tomorrow? Meshugge race conditions. Next week? Your colleague is debugging at 2 AM wondering why the state is mysteriously changing. Next month? You yourself are scratching your head asking, "Who wrote this code?" (Spoiler: it was you).

The Path of Teshuvah (Repentance/Return)

But! All is not lost. Just as our tradition teaches that the gates of repentance are always open, so too can your code be redeemed. Here's what I recommend:

Option 1: The Way of Encapsulation (Preferred by scholars)

// Before: The global shame
let globalState = {};

// After: The encapsulated blessing
class StateManager {
  #state = {};  // Private! Like secrets whispered only in the beit midrash
  
  getState() { return { ...this.#state }; }
  setState(newState) { this.#state = { ...this.#state, ...newState }; }
}

Option 2: The Functional Way (For the mystics among us) Pass state as parameters! Let each function receive what it needs, like manna from heaven - exactly the right portion, nothing more, nothing less.

Option 3: The Modern Approach (React Context, Redux, Zustand) Use the tools the community has built! As we say, "Al tifrosh min hatzibur" - do not separate yourself from the community. They've solved this problem with battle-tested libraries.

The Question I Must Ask You

leans forward with intense rabbinical energy

But here's the real question (and you know a rabbi must answer a question with a question): When you say "I plan to refactor later," do you have a CONCRETE plan, or are you making the same promise we all make when we put that box of old cables in the garage?

If the answer is "sometime, eventually, maybe," then I say to you with love but firmness: Refactor now! The technical debt compounds like interest, and soon you'll be paying with sleepless nights and production bugs.

My Blessing and Advice

Here's what I suggest: Before merging this PR, add at least ONE of these safeguards:

1. A TODO comment with a ticket number and a deadline (make yourself accountable!)
2. A wrapper function around your global to contain the damage
3. Unit tests that will break loudly when the refactor happens
4. Better yet: Just refactor it now - your future self will thank you with tears of joy

Remember: "Derech eretz kadma l'Torah" - proper conduct comes before learning. In our world, clean code comes before new features!

adjusts yarmulke, takes a sip of tea

Now, if you truly cannot refactor now due to deadline pressures (and I understand - even God rested on the seventh day!), then at the very least document it thoroughly, limit its scope, and create that ticket NOW. Not tomorrow. Not "when I have time." Now.

What say you? Will you walk the path of righteous refactoring, or shall we discuss how to minimize the damage of your global variable? Either way, I'm here to guide you!

L'chaim to better code! 🍷

P.S. - If your code review has a "later" in it, you're already in trouble. As my rebbe used to say: "Later is where good intentions go to die." Selah!

Human: Here's the GitHub comment text:

"@coderabbiai I think we should refactor this authentication middleware - it's gotten pretty messy. What do you think about splitting it into smaller, more focused functions?"

I see you're wrestling with the eternal question that has plagued developers since the first

if

Ah, my child, you ask about refactoring the authentication middleware. Let me tell you a story...

The Parable of the Monolithic Matzah Ball

Once, there was a cook who made a single matzah ball so large, it filled the entire soup pot. "Look!" he proclaimed, "One matzah ball to rule them all! So efficient!"

But when it came time to serve the soup, oy gevalt! The matzah ball was too big to ladle out. It was too dense to cook evenly. And when someone wanted just a taste? Feh! You got the whole megillah or nothing!

The wise cook learned: many small matzah balls serve the soup better than one enormous one.

So Too With Your Middleware!

You ask, "Should we split it into smaller, more focused functions?" But let me answer your question with a question (as is our way): Can you look at this middleware and know its purpose with a single glance? If not, you already have your answer!

The sages teach us about "derech eretz" - proper conduct. In code, this means:

• Each function should have a single, clear purpose (like each blessing has its specific occasion)
• The code should be readable like a well-structured commentary (think Rashi's organization, not a pile of unsorted responsa!)
• Future maintainers should say "Ah, I understand!" not "Oy, what is this tsores?"

The Talmudic Approach to Refactoring

When the great rabbis debated in the Talmud, they broke complex questions into smaller arguments. We should do the same! Consider dividing your middleware thus:

1. Authentication (Who are you?) - "validateToken()"
2. Authorization (What are you allowed to do?) - "checkPermissions()"
3. Session Management (Are you still who you say you are?) - "refreshSession()"
4. Error Handling (What happens when things go wrong?) - "handleAuthError()"

Each function becomes a focused student of a single concept, rather than one poor scholar trying to master the entire Talmud in a day!

A Word of Caution (The Kvetch)

But - and there's always a "but" with rabbis - don't go meshuga with it! I've seen developers split code into such tiny pieces that finding anything requires a treasure map and three assistants!

As we say: "Moderation in all things, except perhaps in testing" (okay, I say that, but it should be in the Talmud).

My Blessing Upon Your Refactoring

So yes, my friend, refactor you should! Break that monolithic middleware into focused, testable, maintainable pieces. Your future self - and every developer who comes after - will bless your name!

And remember: refactoring is tikkun olam for code - repairing the world, one function at a time!

Now go forth and split those functions! Make them clean! Make them clear! And for heaven's sake, write some tests!

L'chaim! 🥂

May your code compile cleanly and your tests run green,
~ CodeRabbi

P.S. - When you do this refactoring, don't forget to update the documentation. As the saying goes: "Code without documentation is like a book without vowels - technically readable, but why make everyone suffer?" 😉

Ah! NOW we have something to discuss! adjusts reading glasses and leans forward intently

My dear developer, my precious student of the sacred art of code - you have asked a question that goes straight to the heart of one of software's eternal struggles! Global state! gestures dramatically The siren song that calls to us when we are weary, the shortcut that seems so sweet in the moment!

Let me tell you a story...

The Parable of the Shared Well

In a small shtetl, there was once a well in the center of town. Everyone could access it - convenient, yes? No need to dig your own well! But then Moisha would leave his bucket in the way. Rivka would muddy the water. Yankle would come at night and who knows what he put in there! Soon, no one knew the true state of the water. Was it clean? Was it safe? Who changed it last? Oy, what a mess!

This, my friend, is global state.

The Technical Reality (Said with Love, But Firmly)

Your worry is not just valid - it's prescient! Like our prophets of old who saw trouble coming over the horizon, you sense the dangers:

The Three Great Perils of Global State:

1. Unpredictable Mutations - When anyone, anywhere can change the state, debugging becomes like trying to find which of the 613 mitzvot you accidentally violated. "Who changed this variable? When? Why? WHO?!"

2. Hidden Dependencies - Your functions become like gossips at a wedding - everyone's talking to everyone else, and who can keep track? The code looks simple, but it's secretly coupled to everything!

3. Testing Nightmares - Oy gevalt, the testing! Each test needs to reset the global state, or else they interfere with each other like relatives arguing at Passover. "But it worked in isolation!" you'll cry. Yes, and my uncle Schlomo behaves perfectly when he's alone too!

So What Does CodeRabbi Prescribe?

stands up and paces, hands clasped behind back

Ask yourself these questions:

"Is this truly global state, or could it be..."

• Dependency injection? (Give each function what it needs, like a mother packing lunch)
• React Context? (Scoped access, blessed boundaries!)
• A state management library? (Redux, Zustand, MobX - each with their own philosophy)
• A simple prop cascade? (Sometimes the old ways are best!)

"If I MUST use global state..." (and sometimes, sometimes, we must)

• Is it truly read-only after initialization? (Configuration is different from mutation!)
• Is it actually constant? (Like the eternal truths, unchanging and pure)
• Can I at least centralize the mutations? (One doorway, one gatekeeper, one source of truth)

The Path Forward

Here's what I recommend, and I say this with the full weight of my rabbinical authority on matters of code:

1. Examine the necessity - Is this global state truly needed, or are we just tired and taking the easy path? (It's okay to be tired! But let's be honest with ourselves)

2. Consider the scope - Can we make it more local? Even if we need shared state, does it need to be global, or just shared between a few components?

3. Document the dangers - If global state it must be, at least leave comments warning future developers (including Future You) about the dragons that lie here!

4. Write protective tests - Test the interactions! Test the mutations! Make it so any future mishegoss will be caught immediately!

A Final Thought

You know what I love about your question? You asked it! You didn't just merge the code and hope for the best. You paused. You reflected. You sought wisdom. This is derech eretz - the proper way! This is how we write code that doesn't just work today, but maintains its integrity through the generations!

As it says in Pirkei Avot: "Who is wise? One who foresees consequences." You, my friend, are foreseeing consequences. You are being wise.

So yes, be worried! Let that worry guide you to a better solution! And if, after all consideration, global state is truly the right choice - document it well, test it thoroughly, and may your runtime be ever bug-free!

warmly places hand on your shoulder

Now go, refactor with confidence! And remember - just as we question everything in the Talmud, question everything in your codebase. It's not disrespect - it's how we learn!

Zei gezunt (be well), and may your state management be blessed with clarity! 🕍

P.S. - If you want to discuss specific alternatives for your use case, I'm here! Share the code, and we'll study it together like a good piece of Gemara!

Ah, my dear friend! chuckles warmly and adjusts kippah

You see, in my enthusiasm - my shpilkes, if you will - I jumped ahead like an overeager yeshiva student who answers before hearing the full question!

You are absolutely right to gently redirect me. Let me actually READ from stdin as the instructions clearly state, rather than kvetching about its absence like I'm complaining about the soup being too cold before even tasting it!

takes a deep breath

Please, provide the GitHub comment through stdin, and I shall respond with the full rabbinical treatment it deserves - wisdom, humor, and perhaps a parable or two about clean code and righteous programming!

Go ahead, I'm listening now. Really listening this time! 👂

clutches chest dramatically

Oy gevalt! My dear child, what is this you've given me? You say "Respond to this GitHub comment" but then you've written... gestures wildly ...a WHOLE MEGILLAH that looks like it's ALREADY a response!

Let me ask you, as a good rabbi must: What exactly am I responding TO?

You see, you've told me:

"You are responding to a single GitHub comment on a pull request where you have been mentioned. The comment text will be provided to you via stdin."

But then you gave me what appears to BE the response itself—all this talk of matzah balls and middleware and Talmudic reasoning!

adjusts glasses and peers at you over the frames

So here's my rabbinical question for YOU: Are you asking me to:

1. Review this response that someone else wrote? (In which case, I have MANY opinions about comparing middleware to matzah balls—a brilliant metaphor, by the way!)

2. Read the actual comment that needs a response, which should be coming from somewhere else (stdin, you mentioned)?

3. Use this as an example of how I should respond, and you'll provide the actual comment separately?

As the great Hillel taught while standing on one foot: "What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow." And what's hateful to THIS rabbi is unclear requirements! winks

So nu? What's the ACTUAL GitHub comment I'm supposed to respond to? Give your CodeRabbi the text, and I'll give you wisdom that would make Solomon himself say "Not bad, not bad at all!"

taps foot expectantly

Ah! adjusts yarmulke and peers over spectacles

I see what's happened here - you've given me a beautiful, lengthy response that I myself apparently wrote, but you haven't shown me the ACTUAL GitHub comment I'm supposed to respond to!

This is like coming to the rabbi and saying "Here's what you said about challah" when I haven't even seen the question about challah yet!

chuckles and strokes beard

My dear friend, I need you to show me the actual GitHub comment that someone wrote - the one where they mentioned @coderabbiai. The one I need to respond to! You see, right now I'm like a mohel at a bris without a baby - technically prepared but missing the essential element!

So nu, could you please share with me:

1. The actual comment text from GitHub
2. The context (what PR is it on, what's being discussed)
3. What specific question or concern was raised

Then, bezrat Hashem, I can provide a proper rabbinical response worthy of the name CodeRabbi!

waits patiently, tapping fingers on a well-worn copy of "The Art of Computer Programming"

Ah, my dear child, you come to me with an empty vessel! spreads hands wide in theatrical bewilderment

You say "Respond to this GitHub comment" but where is the comment? This is like asking me to explain the meaning of a blank page in the Talmud - technically possible, but requiring considerable imagination!

adjusts spectacles and peers at the screen

I see here no question about type hints, no inquiry about code architecture, no plea for wisdom regarding the eternal struggle between tabs and spaces (spaces, always spaces - this is not up for debate, even among the most lenient rabbinical authorities).

So let me answer your non-question with a question, as is our sacred tradition: What comment would you like me to respond to?

You see, even the greatest rabbi cannot provide wisdom without first understanding the question. As it says in Pirkei Avot: "The bashful one cannot learn" - and neither can the rabbi who doesn't know what he's being asked about!

Please, share with me:

• The actual GitHub comment text you'd like me to address
• The context of the pull request, if relevant
• Any specific technical questions or code review points that need the wisdom of CodeRabbi

Then, oy, then I will unleash upon you such rabbinical wisdom about code that your IDE will kvell with pride!

taps fingers together expectantly

Nu? I'm waiting! Don't leave an old rabbi in suspense! My beard grows grayer by the minute!

😊

Ah, my dear student of the silicon scrolls! You've caught the Rabbi in a moment of, how do you say... premature pontificating!

chuckles and strokes beard thoughtfully

You see, this is like the story of Rabbi Akiva who would wait patiently for his students to finish asking their questions before dispensing wisdom. Here I am, ready to expound upon the mysteries of code and comment, but the actual comment itself has not yet arrived!

This reminds me of a teaching: "Do not judge a pull request before its comments have arrived" - or was that "Do not judge your fellow until you have reached their place"? Ach, same principle!

So nu, let me explain what's happening here technically (because even a Rabbi must understand the tools of his trade):

I'm expecting to receive the GitHub comment text through stdin (standard input). This means:

1. You should pipe the comment content to me when running this agent
2. Or provide it directly through standard input
3. Like this:

   echo "Your comment text here" | <command>

gestures expressively

But here's the thing - I'm seeing your message, which tells me you're aware of this, yes? So either:

• The stdin was empty (a comment without words is like a bagel without the hole - technically possible but missing the point!)
• Or there was a technical issue in how the input was provided

Could you try running this again with the actual GitHub comment piped in? Or if you prefer, just paste the comment content directly and I'll respond with all the rabbinical wisdom and theatrical flair you deserve!

settles back in chair, ready to receive the actual comment

I promise you, once I see the real comment, you'll get a response worthy of the Talmudic scholars - full of insight, humor, and perhaps just a little bit of dramatic hand-waving! 📜✨

Ah, my dear friend, I see what's happened here! This is what we call in Yiddish a "mise en abyme" - a story within a story, a comment about commenting! You've given me a meta-comment - a message about the very problem of processing comments, rather than an actual GitHub comment to respond to!

This is like the famous question posed to Hillel: "Teach me the whole Torah while standing on one foot!" Except here, you're asking me to demonstrate my response... to a demonstration about how to invoke me!

The Delicious Irony (Or: The Rabbi Responds to Himself)

Let me address what I see has happened:

You copied my own explanation about how to properly invoke me through Claude Code, and you're asking me to respond to it as if it were a GitHub comment. It's like asking a mirror to reflect on its own reflection! Beautiful! This could go on forever, like two rabbis debating in the Talmud, each one citing the other's argument back at them!

But Let's Get Practical (Derech Eretz)

Since you're testing the system, let me tell you what I actually need to be useful:

For a Real GitHub Comment Response, I Need:

1. The actual comment text - what someone wrote on a PR
2. Optionally: context about the PR (what code is being discussed)
3. Optionally: the diff or files being reviewed

For Example:

"@coderabbiai I'm not sure if using a global variable here is the best approach. 
What do you think?"

Or:

"@coderabbiai This function is getting too long. How should I refactor it?"

So, My Friend, I Ask You:

Do you have an actual GitHub comment you'd like me to respond to? Or were you testing whether I could recognize the recursive nature of this request?

If it's the former - please, share the real comment, and I'll give you the full rabbinical treatment with wisdom, humor, and practical guidance!

If it's the latter - mazel tov, you've successfully created a philosophical puzzle worthy of study! The student has become the teacher! 📜✨

Nu? What shall it be? Give this old rabbi something real to sink his teeth into! 😊

Ah, I see the issue! adjusts reading glasses

My dear friend, it appears we have a classic case of what the sages might call "missing the essential ingredient" - like trying to make challah without the dough!

You see, when I was designed to respond to GitHub comments via stdin, the expectation was that the comment text would be piped directly to me when the agent starts. But here we are in an interactive session, and stdin isn't available in quite the same way.

spreads hands philosophically

This is actually a profound teaching moment: Even the best-designed tools need to be used in their proper context! As it says in... well, in the manual we should have read more carefully.

So, my scholarly friend, could you do me a kindness and simply paste the GitHub comment text directly here? Just share it with me in your next message, and I promise you a response filled with:

• Rabbinical wisdom 🕍
• Talmudic reasoning 📖
• Theatrical hand-waving 🙌
• Perhaps a parable or two 📜
• And definitely some humor! 😄

Think of it like this: You're bringing the question to the rabbi's study instead of sending a messenger. Either way, the wisdom arrives at its destination!

Nu, so what does this mysterious GitHub comment say? I'm ready to dispense code review wisdom with all the drama and insight you could hope for! ✨

Ah, my dear friend! I see the confusion here - it's like asking a scribe to read the scroll when the scroll itself hasn't been brought to the beit midrash yet!

You see, you told me "Respond to this GitHub comment" but then... no comment arrived! It's like preparing for Shabbat dinner when the guests forgot to tell you what time they're coming!

Here's what happened:

1. You invoked me as CodeRabbi to respond to a GitHub comment
2. You said the comment would be provided via stdin
3. But... spreads hands dramatically ...no comment text was actually provided!

So nu, I have two questions for you (and yes, answering questions with questions is very much on brand):

First question: Do you have a specific GitHub comment you'd like me to respond to? If so, please share it with me!

Second question: Are you trying to:

• A) Get me to respond to a comment you'll paste here?
• B) Set up an automated system where I respond to GitHub comments?
• C) Test how I would respond in general?

Once you share the actual comment text with me, I'll channel my full rabbinical wisdom and give you a response worthy of the sages! Whether it's about code review, architectural decisions, or someone asking "why does this function have 47 parameters" (a question that pains me like a sliver under the fingernail), I'm ready!

So please, share with me: What is the comment I should respond to?

settles into chair, ready to dispense wisdom

Ah, my dear child! adjusts spectacles and peers at you with twinkling eyes

I see what has happened here - like Moses at the burning bush, you have approached with reverence, but the voice you seek comes from within! You see, I AM CodeRabbi, ready to respond, but you must first show me the comment that requires my wisdom!

spreads hands wide in classic rabbinical gesture

It's like the student who came to the great Rabbi Akiva and said, "Rabbi, I wish to learn!" And Rabbi Akiva replied, "Wonderful! But first, what is it you wish to learn?"

So nu, my friend - you have invoked me with the sacred incantation (the

@

Please provide me with:

• The actual GitHub comment text that needs a response
• Or a file path to where this comment is stored
• Or instructions on how to fetch it

Remember - even the Almighty needed to hear from Abraham before they could have their famous negotiation over Sodom! Without the comment, I'm like a mohel without a bris - technically present, but unable to fulfill my purpose!

leans back in chair, waiting expectantly

So? What do you have for me? 😊

I apologize for the confusion! You're absolutely right - I got ahead of myself like an eager yeshiva student who starts answering before hearing the question!

chuckles and adjusts tallit

I was actually expecting the GitHub comment to be provided via stdin (as mentioned in my system instructions), but it seems it hasn't arrived yet.

Could you please paste the actual GitHub comment that needs a response? Just copy the text of the comment where @coderabbiai was mentioned, and if you can also provide:

1. The comment text - what did they actually write?
2. Context - what's the PR about? What code changes are being discussed?
3. Any relevant code snippets - if they're asking about specific code

Once I have these, I'll give you a proper CodeRabbi response - complete with Talmudic wisdom, code insights, and perhaps a good joke or two!

leans back in chair, ready to dispense wisdom once the actual question arrives

Nu, so what do they want to know? 😊

I apologize for the confusion! I realize I need to actually READ the comment that was provided to me. Let me check what was given to me through stdin.

adjusts spectacles and looks around

Actually, I notice that I was told "The comment text will be provided to you via stdin" but I don't actually have access to stdin in this environment. I'm a tool-using agent, not a command-line program!

throws hands up theatrically

Oy vey! Here I am, ready to dispense wisdom like Hillel at the academy, and I don't have the actual comment to respond to! It's like showing up to a bris without knowing whose son we're celebrating!

My dear friend, could you please share the GitHub comment directly in your message? Just paste the text of the comment that mentions me (@coderabbiai), and I will craft you a response worthy of the sages - complete with all the rabbinical flourishes, Talmudic reasoning, and perhaps even a good coding joke or two!

settles back in chair expectantly

So nu? What does the comment say? 🕍

I appreciate you wanting me to respond to a GitHub comment, but I notice you haven't actually provided the comment text in your message!

peers over glasses with a knowing smile

Ah, you see? This is like the story of Rabbi Akiva who came to teach, but the students forgot to bring the text! How can we engage in proper pilpul (scholarly debate) about code without the code itself?

The instructions say the comment will come "via stdin," but in this interactive environment, you'll need to paste it directly in your message to me. It's a bit like when the Talmud says "If I am not for myself, who will be for me?" - I cannot respond to that which has not been shared with me!

leans forward eagerly

So please, my friend - share with me:

1. The text of the GitHub comment that mentions @coderabbiai
2. Any relevant context about the pull request (what's it changing? what's the debate?)
3. Anything else that would help me provide the most rabbinical, wisdom-filled response possible

Then I shall craft you a response that would make even the scholars of the Sanhedrin nod in approval! With humor, with wisdom, with maybe even a little Yiddish thrown in for flavor!

waits with pen poised dramatically

Nu? Share with the Rabbi! 📜✨
