So there’s a thread for the 90’s
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/1990s
and for the ’80’s
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/1980s
so why not the 2000’s!
What memories do you have of our last decade? What was the best/worst part of those times?
“W”, one of the best President’s the United States ever had, and a strong defender of Israel and one of the few friends of the Jewish People.
what do you call it- the zeros?
we never had a name for that decade, like we did for the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. The 0’s, the naughts, etc. nothing ever caught on.
after jan 1st, 2000, when it was confirmed that there was no apocalypse, the whole Y2K scare thing, evaporated like smoke, after months and months of unnecessary anxiety and apprehension.

It’s called the 2000’s.

’90s
’00s
1980s
1990s
2000s
By calling it the 2000s, it is difficult to differentiate whether you are referring to the decade or to the century.
When referring to the 1800s or to the 1700s people are generally referring to the century, not just the first decade.
World Trade Center
2000s can also refer to the millenium.
there wuz so many things that come to mind
on a personal level i got married and had 4 kids in that decade 🙂

we’ve seen a whole slew of stuff
– first black US president (oh, bomb, aaaaa!),
– youtube started in, i think, 2005
– enron filed for chapter 11
– london subway train bombing
– micheal jackson died in 2009
– bernie madoff ponzi scheme
– war on iraq
but on a more jewish level
– mesifta gemoras
– oiz v’hadar gemoras
– artscroll completes the schottenstein shas
– 2005, 11th siyum hashas
– and of course the invention of the all-important, world famous Kosherlamp!
What are Mesifta and Oz Vehodor Gemoras?
they are gemoras which are reprinted with a clear beautiful typeset, with outstanding peirushim/commentaries/explanations that assist in a very user-friendly way.
