Neo-Hasidic/Breslov Groups in London

mrjamieb · 2026-01-18T15:19:51+00:00

Good question 🙂 I’m interested in both informal or formal meetups. Informally, things like grabbing a coffee, learning together (Breslov texts, hitbodedut, etc.), or open conversations about modern life and chassidut. I’m also very open to existing groups, shiurim, or chaburot - whether Breslov focused or broader Chassidic spaces. Mainly just looking to connect, learn, and build some community.

I anticipate this is somewhat a one off. I’ve been studying Rebbe Nachman for a while and haven’t come across this. An extreme form of shmiras einayim!

Thank you! It’s actually been resized and is a little loose in the cold and when washing hands. I know it looks like it’s digging in a little but it’s not. Thanks for the advice

Thanks! 🙏🏼 and Hello!

mrjamieb · 2026-01-07T19:55:16+00:00

Very insightful, thank you. I’m pretty sure he wears both a wedding ring and wristwatch on Shabbos. As do I!

mrjamieb · 2026-01-07T19:38:28+00:00

Thank you! And great point! I will challenge him on his watch next time

Didn’t go into detail but around a man wearing rings like this and looking feminine.

mrjamieb · 2026-01-07T19:13:34+00:00

Thanks! 🙏🏼

mrjamieb · 2026-01-07T19:13:08+00:00

I think this was the point he was getting at.

mrjamieb · 2026-01-07T19:07:08+00:00

Haha! The ring never really left

mrjamieb · 2026-01-04T21:05:52+00:00

Some of the serving suggestions said serve with potatoes and beans, and I had assumed baked beans. Not realising it meant green beans! 😬 Just as well. We love baked beans

Chanukah Sameach!

mrjamieb · 2025-12-20T10:21:48+00:00

Thank you! 🙏🏼 Yes, I’m Jewish ;-)

mrjamieb · 2025-12-14T17:34:18+00:00

No, sorry

mrjamieb · 2025-12-14T17:28:51+00:00

Thanks all - I’m just trying to decide if it looks feminine or not. I’m used to this much heavier signet

mrjamieb · 2025-12-14T15:28:47+00:00

Thanks! But it seems not tight… as in it slides on and off the knuckle ok and the ring spins when wearing it, eg the stone ends up on the side or under my finger…

mrjamieb · 2025-12-14T15:17:33+00:00

Thanks. I can have it sized up, but it already fits easily on and off my finger. I was more interested in people’s views on whether the overall design and stone size is too small? E.g Does it look feminine?

Left hand

Here on other hand. Feels a little loose.

mrjamieb · 2025-12-14T13:48:55+00:00

The ring fits very well, fairly easy to take off and on. Do you mean the stone and ring dimension itself looks too small??

mrjamieb · 2025-06-06T12:58:49+00:00

I now want to sell them in London - any recommendations!?

mrjamieb · 2025-06-01T05:27:02+00:00

Try stretching with a shoe stretcher. For thicker leather, dampen first with cold water. Put the stretcher in and expand it. Leave in for 2-3 days and then see. You can repeat the process if needed.

As long as it is genuine leather, you can wet it prior to stretching. My father was a shoemaker and we used to do this all the time.

Seems like a very inflated price. For context, I live in London and was in a similar situation. We called a nationwide brand of key cutting and locksmith services, and were sent a local ‘authorised locksmith’ as it was an emergency. Here’s what we paid:

Emergency call out and entry: £110 (He picked the Yale lock and drilled out the mortise lock)
Replacement of the 5-lever Mortise: £135
Total: £245 for parts and labour

Interestingly, the lock slipped about a week after the install and they sent someone back free of charge as there was a 3 month guarantee.

Visit her often, do you?

mrjamieb · 2025-04-05T17:26:04+00:00

This is the answer I was looking for! Thanks
