Agree to stop being maniacs, and just spell it “Wensday”. 

Which “genius” decided to throw the “d” and “e” into “Wednesday”???

Also, I hear the idea that a נשמה gets an עליה from קרוב davening for the amud. Maybe. Sometimes. 

BUT. There are times (and/or people) that they could give an even bigger עליה by having somebody else daven- and even have the נשמה in mind! I mean, why should the entire מנין suffer because a guy (he could even be a sweetie, btw) who has no vocal talents, has yahrtzeit???

Oh, yeah. 

Feel free to chime in from your individual soapboxes.

Publicly admit how much of our childhood davening/benching songs are still running through our heads every time we Daven/bench.

Stop acting like we don’t want the last slice of pizza.

Abbreviating porn and masturbation as p & m. I honestly think it just perpetuates the stigma attached to said stuff. 
They’re things. They’re bad things. They’re bad things that many people struggle with. It’s kinda (mostly?) coming out from under the rug, and if we can’t name the demons, it makes it that much harder to deal with them.

Openly show our love for the works of R’ Shmuel Kunda, ע״ה. 
I don’t know who decided that his tapes (yes, I call them tapes. That’s how I grew up [fine, never really grew up. More like in my early years of life], and so it shall remain. But I digress) were “for children”, but that is complete and utter narishkeit. The more I listen to his stuff, the more I appreciate the sheer brilliance involved (putting aside the fact that he was a pioneer in the whole industry of storytelling and the like). His beautiful, simple compositions. Fantastic rhymes. Fascinating storylines. And of course, the voices and characters. Powerful messages. The list could go on and on.
