January 12, 2009 8:08 pm at 8:08 pm #1166469areivimzehlazehParticipantcharlie- you’re becoming so very deeply connected to moish through the CR, can i unburden too?
January 12, 2009 9:16 pm at 9:16 pm #1166470myshadowMemberHey moish was just reading through your posts n was hoping you had a much better day!! so glad to hear u did!

January 12, 2009 9:41 pm at 9:41 pm #1166472areivimzehlazehParticipantmoish, can i borrow your cast? seems to make you an automatic winner round here (guess we’d do anything to get a day off)
January 12, 2009 10:51 pm at 10:51 pm #1166473charlie brownMembermoish, you had said you wanted a chavrusa for 12 hours per day. Remember now?
areivim, be my guest!
January 12, 2009 10:56 pm at 10:56 pm #1166474moish01Membera DAY off? i’m bored out of my box.
and charlie brown, i believe the closest thing to that that i would have asked for is a 12 hour long football game.
January 12, 2009 11:01 pm at 11:01 pm #1166475moish01Memberareivimzehlazeh, you can have the cast if you take the injured leg with it.
January 12, 2009 11:12 pm at 11:12 pm #1166476charlie brownMemberyeah I knew it was about doing something for 12 hours, I just couldn’t remember what it was so I assumed it was learning. my bad. 🙂
January 13, 2009 4:59 am at 4:59 am #1166480anonymisssParticipantCharlie lol. Please excuse him, moish, he’s havin a senior moment.
January 13, 2009 6:15 am at 6:15 am #1166481brooklyn19ParticipantWOAH!!!!!! someone need attention on here! what a type!
areivimzehlazeh – lol it happens once in a blue moon. doesn’t last very long :}
January 13, 2009 4:07 pm at 4:07 pm #1166482areivimzehlazehParticipantCharlie Brown- so many topics that need to be addressed… how bout starting with my current state of insanity and CR addiction. Please guide me and show me the light
January 13, 2009 6:37 pm at 6:37 pm #1166483charlie brownMemberareivim,
If you are aware of your insanity, it means you aren’t completely insane yet. Similarly if you are aware that CR addiction is no good, you aren’t fully addicted yet. My prescription: keep posting day and night till it all seems perfect.
January 13, 2009 7:17 pm at 7:17 pm #1166484gavra_at_workParticipantWe are the best because we try to make each other better, for the greater glory of Hakodosh Baruch Hu and the wish that every Yid get eternal reward. Kol Yisroel Araivim Zeh L’Zeh. Where else do you ever see such a concept!
January 13, 2009 7:24 pm at 7:24 pm #1166485squeakParticipantcharlie brown – I’m not insane yet. Does that mean I am insane? This is driving me crazy! 8^)
January 13, 2009 7:25 pm at 7:25 pm #1166486areivimzehlazehParticipantgavra- where else do you see such a concept? not around me
January 13, 2009 7:54 pm at 7:54 pm #1166487charlie brownMembersqueak,
that reminds me of the guy who said he can never get married because any girl who wants to marry me has to be insane and why would I want to marry an insane girl?
January 13, 2009 9:28 pm at 9:28 pm #1166488areivimzehlazehParticipantcharlie- unfortunately i can very much relate to this guy
January 15, 2009 12:21 am at 12:21 am #1166490CuriousMemberareivim – I guess you’re still searching, huh?
January 15, 2009 1:16 am at 1:16 am #1166491JosephParticipantCurious, why? Are you interested?
January 15, 2009 3:48 am at 3:48 am #1166492anonymisssParticipantWe’ll try to arrange something for areivim and curious. Joseph, why don’t you drop me an email and I’ll give you all the info you need to red the shidduch
January 15, 2009 4:14 am at 4:14 am #1166493CuriousMemberI guess you all consider me insane if you think I fit his description above.
Besides, I thought I’m getting a rosh yeshiva…
January 15, 2009 6:16 am at 6:16 am #1166494asdfghjklParticipantCurious: you will get a rosh yeshiva!!!(i hope at this point in his life he’s not a rosh yeshiva yet though!!!)
January 15, 2009 10:42 pm at 10:42 pm #1166495areivimzehlazehParticipantoh brother! i didn’t know i was being paired up with Curious (and boy would you laugh if you knew who i was).
Joseph- if ur the shadchan, a lil side note here. I CAN’T STAND CURIOUS PPL. they dig until you say sumfin you regret
curious- no offense to you of course. My friend would really appreciate your artistry
January 16, 2009 3:07 am at 3:07 am #1166496JosephParticipantAreivim, give it a shot, please. Don’t write her off too quickly.
January 16, 2009 3:33 am at 3:33 am #1166497asdfghjklParticipantJoseph: your comment here is leading to this thread being closed!!!
January 16, 2009 5:47 pm at 5:47 pm #1166498areivimzehlazehParticipantasdf- oh no no no, we can’t allow this thread to close. so in order to assist the dire situation i hereby accept the shidduch proposal. now we need to hear from the other side.
get at it joseph- do ur thing (gahead, snatch my job, see if i care)
federal warning: there are things about areivim not previously revealed in the CR
January 16, 2009 6:08 pm at 6:08 pm #1166499JosephParticipantAreivim, I’m waiting for the other side to reply, and will let you know once I hear.
January 16, 2009 6:21 pm at 6:21 pm #1166500asdfghjklParticipantareivimzehlazeh: lol good luck man!!!
January 16, 2009 7:05 pm at 7:05 pm #1166502CuriousMemberShrewd. No one could approach “the other side” directly?
January 16, 2009 7:17 pm at 7:17 pm #1166503JosephParticipantCurious, like you said yourself recently, shidduchim between younger guys and older girls is all the rage these days… I say, why not? 🙂
January 16, 2009 7:28 pm at 7:28 pm #1166504CuriousMemberI keep turning around and can’t seem to find “the other side”
Joseph – <em?>older girls? Who are you talking about?!
January 16, 2009 7:37 pm at 7:37 pm #1166505CuriousMemberApparently Mod 72 does not approve of this idea, as the past 2 replies from “the other side” have not been posted.
January 16, 2009 9:03 pm at 9:03 pm #1166506JosephParticipantCurious, do you feel approved now? 🙂 Its all above.
Now will you reciprocate and your side accept?
older in relative terms of course…
January 16, 2009 9:13 pm at 9:13 pm #1166507CuriousMemberYes, I feel approved now, I was really getting worried there…
January 17, 2009 11:28 pm at 11:28 pm #1166508JosephParticipantYou needn’t anyone’s “approval” other than your own 🙂
Nu, so how long will your “research” take?
January 18, 2009 12:03 am at 12:03 am #1166509CuriousMemberYou have to give me something to work with, Joseph.
Besides I’ve already been insulted by the “other-other side”: “I CAN’T STAND CURIOUS PPL“
January 18, 2009 12:15 am at 12:15 am #1166510CuriousMemberWhat’s with all the smiles lately Jo?
January 18, 2009 12:17 am at 12:17 am #1166511JosephParticipanthe’s just trying to help you get used to the idea of being married 🙂
January 18, 2009 1:11 am at 1:11 am #1166512CuriousMemberLOL, you got to me laugh at that last one.
Out for a run now….
January 18, 2009 1:31 am at 1:31 am #1166513JosephParticipantCurious, its in the spirit of “Why Yidden are the BEST!” (And I suppose you would prefer them to a frown.)
January 18, 2009 1:33 am at 1:33 am #1166514asdfghjklParticipantcurious: he did say yes areivimzehlazeh!!! he wrote–so in order to assist the dire situation i hereby accept the shidduch proposal. now we need to hear from the other side!!!!
January 18, 2009 1:45 am at 1:45 am #1166515asdfghjklParticipantCurious: have fun on your run!!!!
January 18, 2009 2:45 am at 2:45 am #1166516beaconParticipantCurious- a run in this weather?? wow you’re one tough woman..
January 18, 2009 3:26 am at 3:26 am #1166517CuriousMemberI’m back, twas wonderful. Thanks for your concern everyone!
March 3, 2009 4:48 am at 4:48 am #1166520I can only tryMemberJoseph-
Here are the questions with Rav Belsky’s answers:
1) Where is the concept mentioned? In gemora Sotah, Shmuel mentions it, and also in Bava Kama, last perek. The Choshen Mishpat mentions it in several places.
I was concerned that these questions were not “shoel ki’inyan”, but Rav Belsky gave his OK for them to be asked.
I took notes as we spoke, and the questions and answers are accurate to the best of my written notes and recollection.
March 3, 2009 6:03 am at 6:03 am #1166523JosephParticipantICOT:
A groise Yasher Koach!!
Did you call Rav Belsky special for this, or add it on while speaking about other issues? And does Rav Belsky typically not mind responding to “theoretical” shailos?
March 3, 2009 12:33 pm at 12:33 pm #1166524I can only tryMemberIMPORTANT CORRECTION:
What I should have done is ask Rav Belsky for permission to record our conversation, and then transcribed it, instead of scrambling to jot down notes as quickly as possible while we spoke.
If anyone finds and corrects any other mekor errors (which are mine alone) it would be appreciated.
You can google:
???? ??????? ????
I am confident that items 2, 3, 4 and 5 above are accurate, because regarding the actual halacha I was careful to make sure what I wrote was correct, and in some cases I asked Rav Belsky to repeat what he had said to ensure I had it right.
Joseph-
You’re very welcome.
Tizku lemitzvos for staying on top of me regarding this issue.
Did you call Rav Belsky special for this, or add it on while speaking about other issues?
– I was calling about something else, and asked if it was OK to ask the “dina di’malchusa” questions as well.
And does Rav Belsky typically not mind responding to “theoretical” shailos?
– I can’t speak for Rav Belsky, but when speaking with him, I mentioned that although it was no longer nogeah le’maseh this had been an actual occurrence and was not theoretical. I also mentioned that this was not only to satisfy my own intellectual curiosity, but that it would be read by readers of this website as well. As with any Rosh Yeshiva and adom gadol, I think the value of his time must play a part in our cheshbon of asking theoretical shailos. One thing I really appreciate about answers Rav Belsky gives is that he will give a detailed explanation of the mekoros and thinking behind his psak.
March 4, 2009 5:01 am at 5:01 am #1166525JosephParticipantWhy Yidden are the BEST!
Synopsis:
WE are the Am Hanivchar. WE have the Torah. Of course we are the best 🙂
We are ‘Bayshonim, Rachmonim and Gomlei Chasodim, we are Maaminim Bnei Maaminim,
Which other nation in the world would endure what we have endured all these years and still remain true to their creator?
MI KEAMCHO YISROEL’
WE Yidden are the CHOSEN NATION. We are incomparably better than the umos haolam. We have kedusha. They have tuma.
Anyway, we ARE better because we have the Torah.
We are privileged to be part of Am Yisroel.
Tsiz gut tzi zan ah Yid, tsiz gut tzi zan ah Yid!
Yisroel Kedoshim Heim.
What nation is lucky enough to have Shabbos?
The best Nation.
The best People.
The most holy people.
The chosen nation.
Why did Hashem choose us?
Because we were and are the best!
Honesty!
Middos!
We as a nation stick together, and watch out for each other.
Hatzolah
Shomrim
Misaskim
B’nei Oilem
Zichron Shloime
Mikimi
Chaveirem…………….
the list is forever
Just look at the learning for the Mumbai Kedoshim and the way everyone feels when another Jew is in pain or has suffered a loss. MI KEAMCHO YISRAEL???
Yidden are the best because they believe in Hashem. The whole world are to’im, but even non religious Jews don’t believe in yeshu etc. This is a very big zechus for yidden.
someone stopped me on the street once and couldnt get over the fact that i was wearing a skirt and long sleeves….she just didnt stop talking to me–its amazing, wow, Jews are so refined…..were not the only ones that recognize our superiority!!!
Keep ’em coming!
March 4, 2009 5:36 am at 5:36 am #1166526torahtzivaMemberIn the end of the summer my car broke down on the way back home to Brooklyn from Lakewood and on the entrance of the outer bridge crossing we got into a small accident with a goy. Before the police even came already before the police came about 5 frum people stopped for us to see if everything was alright!!! One gave us the tools for a boost to borrow!!! and for the goy no one stopped!!!!!!!!
MI KEAMCHA YISROEL!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
