Please explain why you chose the YWN screen name you have:
how about you first, Will Hill?
’cause it’s takeh not pashut
Shindy is my name.
Because I simply Know It All…
I am what I say I am.
Because I moderate YW! (At least I try!)
This is all very enlightening.
I work for Honeywell. In Hebrew that would really be Ein Dvash, but that could be confusing as Ein can be translated to “lacking” or “eye” as well. I could use Be’er but apostrophes are generally not accepted in user names. Mayan translates to spring which is close enough.
b/c that’s what I am
Oomis comes from my married son’s nickname for me from the time that he met his future Kallah. He called her by an affectionate nickname, and added part of that nickname to each of our names. Oomis is an altered form of Ema.
You can do a Google search on my name to find out why. 🙂
The Wolf
My initials and location.
Shindy – is that a nicknam for Shaindel? A totally different name? I’ve never met anyone called Shindy before.
I don’t have internet at home.
So I am only “here” when I am work.
Because 646 is the gematriah of my name!
Because Yiddishkeit should be about how much I enjoy Shabbos and doing mitzvos and not about how much I can deny and make it harder on myself and others

Because I moderate YW! (At least I try!)
wait a minute, you stole my line :o) LoL
Cut it out, both of you. 🙂
Not sure :-
(that sounds very intelligent, no?)
Shindy,
Just curious, is that with a “long i” or short?
Because, despite what some people here have said, I believe that there is NO inherent contradiction in being an observant Jewish feminist. And because my birthday is February 2nd (02/02).
Cause thats what my Chusheve husband calls me…(I wish!)
Because im 20 and when i make judgemens i try to be yashrus and since this most threads are about judging certain topics well its makes sense to be yashrus!
WOW, yo moderator im in yeshiva my grammer aint so gud you gotta correct me. lol Its making me look bad.:)
Intelligent-
It’s with a long I. Why do you spell your name intelligent INTELLEGENT? (with an E)
Because I liked the sound of it, primarily because it goes with “of light”. Random…
at the end of the day, differences and titles aside, are we not all a chasid of Hashem?
I call myself Chacham because that is what (I am now).
ps i used to be called a baal gaaveh to answer that up i caleed myself then the biggest anav
Because my middle name is Esther.
Because it’s an impossibility, and yet somehow using it tick people off.
Because I just decided I have S`michah 15 minutes ago
(em) not for halachah L`maaseh (/em)
I chose my name because I feel our main focus here on YW should be the praise of the Jews. We are a great nation dedicated to Hashem.
Besides, it’s hard to argue with someone with such a complimentary name. 🙂
Because that is what I am…
sometimes i talk to people who just dont get it… Before I joined, I read a few posts and had to comment- people were just not using seichel!
I guesse because its neutral! I dont claim to ‘know it all’ nor do I think I should be the one to decide that some posters should ‘havemoreseichel’etc,,,,
I want to remain modest, and I’m proud of that! lol!
thanks to “Will Hill” for starting probably the nicest thread in the cofferoom!
I once got a brocha from an Odom Godol to learn Kitzur Shulchan Oruch, so I started a website http://www.kitzur.net (surprise, surprise 🙂 to promote learning this sefer.
My name says what I am. Nobody. Just someone who minds his own business and gets on with life, happy to be a nobody that no-one else would give a second look at.
Joseph hasnt posted here yet!!
I was curious about his name because if he is as “frum” as he says he would go by Yosef, not Joseph.
SJSinNYC, rabbiofberlin advised me it is correctly spelled as Joseph (even though it is pronounced Yoseph.)
A nickname some of my friends gave me
i had no idea what to make my screen name 🙂
I use my personal name (that I also use as my d/b/a in my brokerage business.)
Joseph – since when do you agree with ROB? (just teasing you!)
Some people are very clever,
but with me it is not the same.
So, I stuck with what I was given
and thus, mdlevine, became my screen name.
If I was clever and had sat and pondered,
perhaps I would have chosen something not so bland.
Like YW-Moderator,
Oh please SJSinNYC. This thread was so neutral let it not become a war zone between Joseph & the Rabbi. By the way do you live in Berlin ROB?
noitall, it was just a joke 🙂
I am what I am – yes there really are Jews outside of NY…
I know I know its a difficult concept to grasp…
Yes, we know there is life outside of NY, but since space travel is not yet widely available we have never seen such a person.
Remember that the axis of the world runs through prospect park….and the world revolves around it!
oh, and there are no “humans” outside of Nyers… no one speaks english as well as they do!
Mine ought to be obvious. Cantorial music is my passion. Lawyering is what I do for a living.
