Looking For Friends - On Being A Nerd

In the bracha we say on the Haftora on Shabbos morning we say ורצה בדבריהם הנאמרים באמת - Hashem desires the words of the neviim that are said with truth. Why would we think they are lying???

Rav Shlomo Volbe: The "truth" means that the words they said emanated from their פנימיות. They lived what they spoke. Rav Volbe said that since the Mashgiach Rav Chatzkel Levenstein passed away they are all "drashos" but to b'emes live what you say is non-existent. He was the "Last of the Mohicans".

I am looking for real people. If you're a real person - can you be my friend???

Is it really nerdy to ask someone to be your friend? If it is, I'm a nerd.

I'd rather be a nerd than a cactus.
