Showing the world that Lubavs can too write good!
You should say: “Thanks. You too.”
Unless you’re an atheist, that is. Then you should say: “No, thanks. I gave up my place in the World-to-Come.”
"bless you"="may you enjoy good health," not "may you merit the life of the world to come."
Who is doing the blessing? The original is: “G-d bless you”.
By the way, in Russian, since Communists it’s “bud’ zdorov” (“be healthy”). I don’t know what the original was.
Your supposed to say thank you. and I think bless you is just to ward off the demons that just flew out of your nose.J
Of course. When wished well by anyone, the polite response is "Thank you."
I normally respond with a nod and smile. This is New York afterall.
You should say thank you.
The question is, how classy are you e?
the question is how metchlich am i.
I'd be too shy to actually say thank you.
I'm too anti-social to bother nodding and smiling. It's so much easier to just say two words than engage in complicated gestures.
What are you worried about, that they are blessing you in the name of their dieties?
about this, i was not concerned.
then most definitely, say thank you. you don't need us, you need emily post!
