    A Moderator is what is needed get a nuclear chain reaction to move along. Without a good Moderator the neutrons are moving too fast to have a good chance of splitting additional atoms and keep the chain reaction going.

    For Nuclear threads in the YWN Coffee room, 80 appears to be the most effective.

    you see I don’t need to be a moderator but I’m not extreme (I’m moderate) and that’s all the time not just when I’m in the CR

    Hey mods, you can only have your chocolate while actualy moderating. So if the result is increased mods activity then I’m all for it.

    Coke: your posts are a pleasure to read (and you love to clean, so that really boosts your esteem in my eyes). If we are “fighting” for the position of being the most troublesome poster, I will nominate moi. Being one of the very few (I believe) non-frum posters around here, I occasionally (or possibly more often) say the wrong things. It is usually not out of malice but due to lack of knowledge or complete understanding of the topic. I am very thankful to the Moderators who know what is appropriate for posting. I also thank all of you for teaching me so much. I must admit that in the past 3 years since I re-discovered shul and began studying and davening, I have built myself a whole new life. It is a wonderful life and I haven’t been this happy ever. Most of you here in the Coffee Room have made a big contribution to this happiness by your friendship, teaching and listening to the opinions of this older Conservative Jew. Toda Raba, Toda Raba.

    mod 80- I’m getting nervous. do you consider me to be a tough cookie?

    #1036879

    sorry minyan gal, not you

    although your posts take more time to examine

    your middos and attidude are a pleasure.

    i hope someday you will have a more accurate and complete knowledge of the real Truths of Judaism

    #1036880

    minyan gal,

    A rabbi once told me that it is easier to work with someone with good middos who’s learning about Frumkeit, because it’s an education issue. Someone who purports to be frum but is lacking in middos is a much harder problem to deal with.

    Another rabbi once said, don’t judge Judaism by Jews. That’s especially important for me to remember when I hear about frum Jews pulling “shtick” (I don’t mean wedding “shtick”). We are human, we all make mistakes, and sometimes it is hard to be dan l’kaf zechus (to give the benefit of the doubt).

    As a BT, I admire and respect you, especially for taking this on later in life.

    Having said that, I don’t like to clean. I do like to live in a clean house, though. LOL

    Wandering Chana: Thank you for your kind words. I certainly agree with your statement that although you don’t like to clean, you like to live a clean house. I am with you on that one. I think that I should add to my list of what I would do if I won the lottery – full time housekeeper. Also, if you had not told me, I would never have known that you are a BT. Your knowledge of all things that encompass Yidishkeit is vast. You are an excellent student and I certainly admire you. I love learning these days and people like you make excellent teachers. I have been attending a variety of classes at my shul and have been taking the JLI courses at Chabad. Next week will be our last class in the “Shabbat” course, which I have enjoyed. Last evening we learned the 39 malachot which was very interesting.

    To Mod 80: Thanks also for your comments. Sorry that it takes you longer to examine my posts – maybe someday you will just have to skim them. I would like to share with you and the rest of the posters the phrase that I recently coined. If I do say so myself, I think it is pretty darn good.

    “You don’t have to be frum to be a mentch, but you must be a mentch to be frum.”

    This reminds me of the typical teachers’ complaint that it’s the A+ students parents who attend PTA, while the F students’ parents are MIA…

    ” “You don’t have to be frum to be a mentch, but you must be a mentch to be frum.” “

    Wow!! we should have that quote on bumper stickers.

    I once heard a noted mechanech saying; when teaching young adults you first teach them to be a mentch, then to be a jew, then to be an erlichah (honestfrum) jew, finaly you can start to teach them gemarah.

    minyan gal – I am flattered at your kind words – I don’t think of myself the way you describe me at all! There are many, many people who are waaaaay more knowledgable than me. I love learning also, and I have a lot of respect for the work Chabad does. The first Shabbos dinner we were ever invited to was with our local Chabad shluchim. My kids went to Gan Izzy when they were little. I hope your love of learning carries you for a very long time!

    “You don’t have to be frum to be a mentch, but you must be a mentch to be frum.”

    This should be hung in every beis midrash!!

    Moderator 80 – thank you so very much for directing me to Rabbi Gottlieb’s website. I listened to the lecture you suggested and plan to listen to many more of them. I like his style and the way that he covers both sides of the argument in a calm fashion. I was more than a little surprised by some of what he said. I think there are a lot of posters here who could benefit from listening to him instead of simply stating their position without stating any reasons – and they are absolutely 100 percent right, no matter what. I think I shall just give up on those kinds of people with whom there is no reasoning with at all. It certainly isn’t worth getting upset over. I shall certainly continue listening to him. The internet is really amazing. You can learn so much without leaving home. What would my Zaida have said?? I appreciate you keeping me “under control” and reaching out to me with this website. You are definitely a mentch.

    mg,

    I have a lot of respect for you how you are forging ahead & not being complacent with life as you knew it…among other things, such as your unbelievably creative talent.

    I was wondering if you referring to dovid gottlieb.com?

    amc: thanks for your kind words. Before my divorce I didn’t really know that I was unhappy until we separated and then I realized I was happier each day. Since my mother’s passing (her third yahrzeit begins tomorrow)and my rediscovery of shul, I am fantastically happy. I thought that I would honor her memory by going to shul for shloshim but found that I loved it so much that I stuck around for 11 months and then, of course it was so much a part of my daily routine that I am still there. Nobody would have been more surprised than my dear mother. She really wouldn’t believe it. There are days that I still wish I could pick up the phone and let her know how content I am with life now. I think that she is smiling down on me every day.

    Yes, I am referring to dovid gottlieb. com. I listened to one of his lectures last night and it was terrific. I plan to work my way through the list. I look forward to learning a lot and I am greatful to Mod 80 for directing me to the website.

    Sorry mod, I was a little strong in my post (that I assume) caused the ‘why is it hidden’ thread to be closed. It is just something that I feel very strongly about. Didn’t mean to cause any issues!!!

    Thanks for moding so carefully!!!

    Can I eat chocolate when my post is in moderation, or is it only my post that can eat the chocolate?

    Letakein Girl:

    Why me?

    Actually, I’m not sure he was real – his name isn’t formatted the same way the others’ are, and I can’t find his profile.

    However, impersonating a mod is against the rules and probably

    wouldn’t have been tolerated.
