Adventures in Breslov (Updated)

Lately I have been hanging out at various restaurants, minding mine own business as well as that of everyone else who happens to pass by. Then he appears out of the blue. Tall, Dark... overcoat. I immediately recognize him as the roving Breslov tzedakah collector armed with a myriad of "How-to' books regarding relationships, life, happiness etc. I failed to dive under the table in time when he was already upon me. "Tzedakah for hachnasat kallah (wedding money)," he asked, while wishing me and Tali happiness and Brachah. I give a dollar because I don't like to turn people away empty-handed but the truth is that no one collected money for my wedding (parent company excluded). We had a wedding within our means as should everyone. It's not like a wedding is a life-saving procedure withheld by the evil insurance empire. It's an extra, a frill. In fact, if most people saw what would become of their life after marriage, they would save their money for a lawyer or a good set of earphones for the stereo. But I'm getting off topic here.

Last week, Tzedakah-man gave me mishnah Avot. Not bad for a dollar. Last night, I got the book you see in the photo. A large volume of advice how to live, Breslov style. I tried to make a profit on it once T-man left. I went around the store and up and down the street asking for a two dollar donation for the book but there were no takers. People told me they were saving it for the opening of Indiana Jones movie that night. Can't blame 'em.

But something struck me as hilarious. Look at the title and see if you can figure it out. I'll post the answer next week if no one gets it.

UPDATE:

Kudos to the Feds. Mr. FedUp correctly identified the underlying theme. If said quickly, the title translates as 'Short gleanings from a MORON.' Cassuto originally posited that there was one author with varied ideas and his name was MoHaRon. Luckily, Wellhausen was able to identify the multiple authorship as the work of many bored Breslevs who refused to get a job. Most probably there were four but it is possible there were other contributors. Along came the great redactor Ezra MeBreslov and amended the title so that no one in their right mind would know that this was a work of morons. And since then, every one of us exposed to these books given out at the restaurants, eats it all up.

It is extremely surprising that the Arab financed TV in Dubai would allow this to air. Be sure and watch this, it is so powerful I have no doubt she now has a very large price on her head. I also have no doubt it won't be on the air long. Here is a powerful and amazing statement on Al Jazeera television. The woman is Wafa Sultan, an Arab-American psychologist from Los Angeles. I would suggest watching it ASAP because I don't know how long the link will be active.
