so was it the attic or a circle?? isn’t “?????” reference to a circle? & wasn’t there something about him sleeping for 70 years?

moish: so far i think you know the most out of anyone kind enough to answer 🙂
you know anything about the sleeping thing?
June 4, 2009 6:10 am at 6:10 am #1080942kapustaParticipantAOB, didnt I say this? maybe not. He slept for 70 years and woke up and his family was all gone. he was upset there was no companion for him (there was a reason, I forget why now)
June 4, 2009 12:46 pm at 12:46 pm #1080943moish01Memberyeah i think he fell asleep for 70 years and when he woke up no one believed that he was choni hamagal so he prayed to hashem to take his life. i think that’s how he died.
June 4, 2009 1:33 pm at 1:33 pm #1080944an open bookParticipantok thanks.
kapusta: could be, sorry. but i don’t think you gave this much information last time.
so is there a point to that story?
June 4, 2009 2:13 pm at 2:13 pm #1080945ambushParticipantChoni Hamagel:
not really so clear when he lived, some say lived about 200 years before Churban Bais Shayni / was a contemporary (in years) to R’ Shimon ben Shetach.
He was known as a “miracle worker”, and these two stories are the most famous ones about him: (both the stories that were mentioned above)
1. the story of no rain in (i think) Yerushalayim, made a circle, davened to Hahsem that he won’t leave the circel until it rains. It rained lightly- he told davened for rain to fill the wells, it then rained very hard, and he davened for the rain that was to harsh to turn into the rain they needed to nourish the crops, not destroy them, it then rain “good” rain… the really short version… (it was here that R’ Shimon ben Shetach wanted to put him in cherem)
2. He saw a man planting a tree, and asked him how long it will take to produce fruit, the man replied 70 years. Choni Hamaagal then asked, do you know you’re going to live another 70 years? and the man replied, just as my ancestors planted for me, so i will plant for my children. He fell asleep, woke up 70 years later, and saw a man by the tree and asked him if he planted it and he said, I’m the grandson. He went into the bais medrash and heard them say “In the times of Choni HAmaagel…” He went into his house and asked if C”H son was still alive, they said no, but his grandson is… sof kol sof he was so distressed that he died.
Although the there really is another description of how he died.
Really, if one wants to really understand this inyan, it has to be learned inside, with depth and obviously this inyan goes much deeper than what meets the eye. Part of it i believe is discussed as a mashal, the sleeping, galus, carob tree…
Time to learn!
June 4, 2009 11:10 pm at 11:10 pm #1080946an open bookParticipantthank you, ambush!!! that’s what i wanted to know 🙂
June 5, 2009 6:59 am at 6:59 am #1080948yossi z.Memberhey all in the CR! i would like to know your take on this.
what would you do if presented with a serious dilemma but are not good at presenting so you can’t exactly talk with anyone(being that you don’t know how to present the problem)?
and a total side note: is cracking your knuckles really bad for you or is it just annoying so people say so?
June 5, 2009 7:05 am at 7:05 am #1080949yossi z.Memberdoes anybody know anything about providence RI? ’cause if you do i would like to know where i can find info about finding a part-time/full time job there.
June 5, 2009 5:26 pm at 5:26 pm #1080950an open bookParticipantwhat would you do if presented with a serious dilemma but are not good at presenting so you can’t exactly talk with anyone(being that you don’t know how to present the problem)?
yossi z: i would take the time to organize my thoughts and figure out what i want to say before i go to someone. or write an email or note, so i could look it over before they see it.
June 7, 2009 2:35 am at 2:35 am #1080951yossi z.Memberaob: in other words you are suggesting to present it to oneself until you feel you are presenting the issue that you really want to present?
June 7, 2009 4:08 am at 4:08 am #1080952an open bookParticipantyossi z: yeah, i guess
June 7, 2009 4:48 am at 4:48 am #1080953kapustaParticipantrandom poll: (as random as you can possible get)
Do you eat pizza “folded” or un-“folded”?
June 7, 2009 4:51 am at 4:51 am #1080954YW Moderator-72Participantkapusta,
depends on a few factors, how hot, how cheesy, how oily…
one thing is certain though, I NEVER eat it with cabbage!
June 7, 2009 4:55 am at 4:55 am #1080955JaxMemberkapusta: unfolded!
June 7, 2009 4:55 am at 4:55 am #1080956yossi z.Member72: why would you want to eat kapusta anyway? she’s too nice!! lol!! 🙂
oh yeah does anybody have an answer to my other questions? (thanx aob!! :))
June 7, 2009 4:59 am at 4:59 am #1080957kapustaParticipant72, thats your loss not mine 😉
btw, I beg of you to never eat cabbage pizza, great way to spend a sleepless night.
June 7, 2009 4:59 am at 4:59 am #1080958an open bookParticipantunfolded, because then it lasts longer.
June 7, 2009 5:19 am at 5:19 am #1080959June 7, 2009 5:24 am at 5:24 am #1080960oomisParticipantFolded soemtimes, because I am greedy, and unfolded if it is not too hot, so the cheese is not sliding off…
June 7, 2009 5:50 am at 5:50 am #1080961JaxMemberyossi z.: 1)nope,sorry i don’t know anything about Providence RI!
2) about the dilemma question, i’m a little foggy about what your talking about there! sorry buddy, guess i’m of no help! ;(
June 7, 2009 6:22 am at 6:22 am #1080962yossi z.Memberwhat about cracking knuckles? (aob answered the dilemma question) bad for you or just annoying? (sorry your highnez about the interuption)
June 7, 2009 6:34 am at 6:34 am #1080963JaxMemberyossi z.: i’ve heard it can cause arthritis when old! don’t know if it’s just a myth though!
June 7, 2009 3:00 pm at 3:00 pm #1080964mepalMemberkapusta, like ames says, with a fork and knife ONLY. I’m very proper when it comes to these things!
Yossi, I believe it is a myth that they will cause your fingers to shake when you get old. I was discussing it with someone recently and she was freaking out (that I crack my knuckles). She kept on saying ‘what, you’re gonna do it on a date? what’s the boy gonna think?’ blah blah blah. I finally realized how really unclassy it looks (and sounds) so I decided to stop. It was really hard in the beginning but now, I’m so used to it. I’m so happy I stopped!
June 7, 2009 3:09 pm at 3:09 pm #1080965kapustaParticipantmepal, in that case, I’m very happy I only know you in the CR (and I’m very happy about that) and not in real life, I would go crazy having to eat pizza with a fork and knife. 😉
are you a yekke?
June 7, 2009 3:28 pm at 3:28 pm #1080966mepalMemberSure am, kapusta! And I never impose myself on my friends. If they want, they’re more than welcome to eat with their hands (and they do! – in my presence, I mean) I guess I’m just a bit of a neat/clean freak. Not that I mind. Better that then…
June 7, 2009 4:05 pm at 4:05 pm #1080967kapustaParticipantIn that case, I have no problem meeting you. (whos paying? ;)) Now which mod would like to get an…umm… a little bonus, shall we say? 😉
June 7, 2009 4:49 pm at 4:49 pm #1080969mepalMemberTry #2:
Since I’m not allowed to disclose the location where I will be eating pizza tonight, I suggest you go around to the pizza stores in BP tonight (supper time) till you find one pretty girl eating her pizza with a fork and knife! Then come over and introduce yourself! See ya!
June 9, 2009 7:52 pm at 7:52 pm #1080970kapustaParticipantrandom question: has anyone noticed that mod 99 and mod 36 have the same interests and are in the same place? interesting……..
June 10, 2009 2:27 am at 2:27 am #1080971an open bookParticipantjax, are you always this cheerful & enthusiastic in real life? or you make a special effort for us in the cr?
June 10, 2009 2:34 am at 2:34 am #1080972the.nurseMemberwhen you crack your knuckles you are releasing nitrous oxide that is in your joints, hence the sound. i know there is the thought out there that it may cause athritis but i dont believe there is any basis for that.
June 10, 2009 2:34 am at 2:34 am #1080973JaxMemberan open book: always i guess, but i do have virtual ADD as you all know! 😉
kapusta: mod36?! i thought mod39 was your buddy!? 😉
June 10, 2009 2:34 am at 2:34 am #1080974anonymisssParticipantkapusta, multiple personality disorder
~a~ the real one
June 10, 2009 2:47 am at 2:47 am #1080975coke not pepsiMemberkapusta- u really notice which mod does what? i dont pay attention
June 10, 2009 2:57 am at 2:57 am #1080976JaxMemberthe.nurse: oh cool! & welcome to the CR!
June 10, 2009 3:02 am at 3:02 am #1080977the.nurseMemberthanks for the welcome! ive heard great things about the site and the great conversations 🙂
June 10, 2009 3:03 am at 3:03 am #1080978JaxMemberthe.nurse: well about time ya joined! join the fun! 😉
June 10, 2009 3:05 am at 3:05 am #1080979yoyoMemberkay this is like totally random but it fits with the tags- why do singers wanttheir music to be fresh and different? I totally comprehend why they don’t want the same old niggun but to take goyish tunes and put jewish lyrics with it or worse visa versa, thats like totally sad and sinking so low!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 10, 2009 3:07 am at 3:07 am #1080980kapustaParticipantJune 10, 2009 3:14 am at 3:14 am #1080981the.nurseMemberhi kapusta
thanks for the invite. if i may ask, what does “kapusta” mean? is this english/hebrew/yiddish/yinglish?
June 10, 2009 3:16 am at 3:16 am #1080982June 10, 2009 3:33 am at 3:33 am #1080984JaxMemberkapusta: i take it the.nurse was never a lurker, if she/he didn’t know what kapusta means! we talk about kapusta like every day/night! 😉
June 10, 2009 3:35 am at 3:35 am #1080985the.nurseMembera hiccup usually happens when you have a sudden rush of air thats breathed in. this irritates your diaphragm (the large muscle at the bottom of your rib cage that helps you breathe) and it kindve spasms, which causes your vocal cords to quickly close and that causes the sound.
glad to be of help 🙂
June 10, 2009 3:47 am at 3:47 am #1080986an open bookParticipantyoyo: sorry i don’t really know, but btw there’s a whole topic to do with jewish music & threads about it.
June 10, 2009 3:58 am at 3:58 am #1080987kapustaParticipantthe.nurse, I really have a question for you now. (anyone can answer if you have an idea)
I know someone who graduated nursing school this week. I’m considering buying her a gift, I need to know what nurses like. Can you help me on this one? Thanx. 🙂
June 10, 2009 4:27 am at 4:27 am #1080988havesomeseichelMemberwhat nursing school? I know someone who wants to apply and trying to know of places…
