There was a guy in my kollel who was making avoda zara jokes that I found really distasteful. He compared Hillary Clinton’s remaining supporters to Roman polytheists, and stuff like that. He also said that it’s muttar to scoop a bagel. So I punched him through the window.
RebYidd – A guy in your kollel who you punched through the window???
What is this – a coed kollel?
Isn’t a kollel for boys only?
What’s wrong with scooping a bagel? I did that when I was a kid to make cubes with the squishy bread. The cubes tasted better then unsquished bagel.
It’s only muttar to punch a boy if it’s fruit punch and you’re his husband, sometimes.
Lol RebYidd23 you are fun 🙂
If you think one of the criteria for being in Kollel is not scooping bagels shows how shallow some people are. This thread should be shut down now.
Well that’s the point – if it’s a coed kollel, that answers the question, doesn’t it?!!
Rebyidd23: sorry but I am not a “horrible person” since I sometimes scoop out a bagel. However, if you think this is a terrible avla I will make sure not to be meshadech with you and your family.
So I punched him through the window
I’m not clear.
Did you punch him so hard that he was launched through a window?
Or did you punch through a window and subsequently hit him?
Because there’s a big difference.
No I am not in Kollel….
How do you scoop a bagel?
What if you eat bagel ice cream? Can you scoop it then?
“Note the T.”
What does the T indicate?
LB: IMHO, scooping a bagel is taking out the soft center leaving only the outside crust. This way it makes a neater sandwich. This is also done for Italian heroes.
Coed kollels on the other hand….
And punching people through windows…
iacisrmma: Thank you!!! I’ve never heard/seen such a thing.
So cool 🙂
Why didn’t my college career counselor not tell me about this?
I’d love to be a professional bagel scooper. The chewy outside of the bagel is amazingly delicious. Plus, the soft inside can be recycled for edible dice.
“There was a guy in my kollel”
You want to explain how that’s not a coed kollel? Unless you’re the secretary, janitor, or cook or something like that.
rebyidd23: I never said that I don’t eat the “scooped out” part of the bagel.
Either way, people who do this are not “horrible” and I hope that you take a more reasonable approach to your frustrations in the future.
I think you need to see a psychotherapist regarding your bagel obsession.
As as teenager on school vacation days, I davened at a shul in which the a couple of retirees took it upon themselves to fetch bagels and assorted fillings for the weekday morning minyan to boost attendance (and they’d clean up afterwards).
When he could, the rav of the shul would stick around and have his morning coffee with those who weren’t hurrying off to work. Looking back, it was a pleasant, relaxed way for the rav to interact informally with about a dozen of his congregants.
A number of them had the “minhag” of scooping out the bagel innards which they justified as a calorie-saving move.
I’m not sure how many calories were actually saved after adding the fillings (butter, cream cheese, egg salad, etc.), but that’s the only time I can recall seeing people do that.
what confuses me is the idea that people scoop the middle and eat the outside. If i was going to eat only one of the two, it would be the middle.
Syag Lchochma: I will be your bagel friend. You can eat the inside and I will eat the outside and all parts of the bagel will be respected.
RebYidd23: Hypotheses about your T…
1. Treat… “T = Treat people how they want to be treated (the platinum rule), not how you want to be treated (the golden rule).” (According to someone named dan who has a website devoted to “great leadership”)
2. Taking… The T in TCB (Taking Care of Business) by Aretha Franklin
…Hopefully your husband or husband-to-be knows or will know better about bagels.
To love RebYidd23 is to honor the solidarity of the bagel with its klippah. There is no klippah actually. It’s all holy. One piece. One peace.
“Simple. The narrator is a man.”
Except that she’s not. Unless the moderator who told me that she’s a girl was lying.
What assumption am I making exactly?
Maybe RebYidd23 is representing the plaintiff
Then the op should have been in quotes.
Maybe the OP was part of another universe and now RY is talking to us from the other side?
Maybe it’s the Kollel Food Store,(KFS) or KRM grocery store.
YesOrNo: Wow!!! That’s amazing. There really is a Kollel Food Store and it does work.
So who is the narrator? Omgosh maybe it is Hashem?
yesorno – good one. However, in that case, it’s still coed.
Maybe it was stay-at-home-men-boys-toddlers-infants day at the Kollel Food Store?
Maybe RY’s account was hijacked by a car thief who decided that he didn’t want her car because it smelled like flowers so he demanded her computing device instead and here we are
Maybe you own it.
Are you speaking for yourself or the narrator now?
So you’re calling the moderator who said that you are a girl a liar?
oh my gosh – have you guys noticed the tags showing up on the upper right? And it looks like anyone can add if they choose to do so.
