nem621:- You are an absolute Tzadik Gomur for having embraced the most incredible & wonderful Nusach Ashkenaz. Kol haKovod!
Lekavod Halloween I was spared worrying about alternative parking the next morning, given that Halloween is Erev All Saints’ Day, and they are connected.
the wearing of black and white as representing the colours of the ink and vellum of the Torah scroll If this would so, why do the Amish also be wear these colors?
BTW Based on the way you Keenanp spelt color with a “u”, are you in the UK? or down & under in Australia or New Zealand?
a begged that is distinctively jewish a jew Clearly this portends light blue outfits similar to what was & will be worn by the Kehuno @Bais haMikdosh, and certainly not long black jackets & fur hats worn by the polish on a freezing day in the 1800’s.
The best & only protest is facilitating & making more Shiduchim between men & women.
Apart from thereby reducing the % of same gender marriages, each wedding shows 1 more objection to same gender marriage.
What Hebrew calendar date is the Johrzeit of Avrohom Ovinu?
What Hebrew calendar date is the Johrzeit of Yaakov Ovinu?
What Hebrew calendar date is the Johrzeit of Rivko Ieminu?
What Hebrew calendar date is the Johrzeit of Leoh Imeinu?
Note I haven’t posed the question vis a vis Rochel Imeinu, because even I know that her Johrzeit is marCheshvon 11th.
Note I haven’t posed the question vis a vis Yitchok Ovinu, because even I know that his Johrzeit is Nisson 15th 2228, exactly 400-180 years prior to Yetzias Mitzraim.
As for Soro Imeinu, I assume her Johrzeit is either Rosh haShono? or Yom Kippur? Depending on which of these 2 opinions is the date that the Akeido took place on.
Does anyone know when rosh chodesh is?
Yes:- For 1 instant only @12:14 & 2 Chalokim on Sunday Lunchtime.
popa_bar_abba: Are you popa_bar_abba saying that even on Rosh haShono & Yom Kippur when men wear a Kittle with a White Kippa in Shul, that your wife will still not let you attend Shul without a black hat?
& How about if you are coming home from work without a hat passing Shul which is just comencing Mincho or Maariv:- Are you popa_bar_abba saying that your wife won’t let you go to Shul and want you to miss that Mincho or Maariv simply because you are missing a hat?
Having Rosh Chodesh Kisslev on Sunday & Monday, occurs approximately 11 times in 100 years.
Please note, that although this last week in marCheshvon [as well as every date since this past Adar] is the 1st time this early since 1899, yet by the time we hit Kisslev next week, it shall only be the 1st time that this early since 1994.
B’H his saintly Father ZT’L gave his Tisches in English, so B’H he was Zoche to inspire & impress many people all leTovo.
This an addition to the wonderful Benedictions he would bestow upon us @Havdolo time.
you can’t have a scrambled eggy Because you need to save these eggs to throw them on Halloween.
& even if you don’t throw eggs, so many other people will, that there could be a serious shortage of eggs by the next morning.
However, when it comes to a gift for the yichud room, that’s something that she’s going to remember the rest of her life.
In my day & age they used to recommend giving a leather bound Siddur.
But in light of the fact that a marriage is supposed to last for decades and one wishes this Yichud room gift to last along this lifetime, & being that I got married during the Omer, I modified this notion to a Shvu’os leather bound Machzor; Being only utilized 2 days a year, IY’H this gift shall last for life.
Trying out a Kever at Sanhedriah Cemetery is futile since this cemetery is sold out of available plots.
Based on what was posted on YWN this past week, it seems all cemeteries in Yerusholayim are sold out of plots.
Sam2: What about abusive mothers? & what about abusive women’s groups?
WIY:- You should mourn & feel bad for we B’nai Yisroel that we have been orphaned from our incredible Godol haDor.
Maybe you WIY were at Kever Rochel today to ask her to intercede on behalf of her bereft children.
No-one can ever attack a fellow Jew, be it by hand or cattle prod or any other means.
There is only 1 exception to this rule: haBo leHorgo >>> then Hashkem laHarog Osso.
There are exactly zero other exceptions to this dictum.
The most urgent order of business is to ensure that all children are in regular contact with their Fathers, and are regularly being educated by their father as per the Toroh’s dictum of “veShinantom leVonecho veDibarto Bom”.
Everything must be done to ensure that not 1 single child on the face of this earth is ever deprived of time with their father. period!
Rav Avigdor Miller ZT’L was the Godol haDor until Nisson 27, 2001. Then Rav Wolbe ZT’L along with Rav Ovadiah Yosef Zt’L were the Gedolei haDor from Nisson 27, 2001 thru Nisson 16, 2005. Then Rav Ovadiah Yosef ZT’L was the undisputed Godol haDor from Nisson 16, 2005 thru marCheshvon 3, 2013.
Now tragically we have been left orphans without a Godol haDor. haShem yeRachem!!
he was a nice jewish boy who was forced to become a marrano. and he discovered america on Hoshana Rabba, and observed his 1st Shemini Atzerers in the USA the very next day.
Meanwhile B’H for this holiday, such as last year when it fell out on Shemini Atzeres so 1 less day of annual leave to use for Yom Tov, or next year when it comes out on Chamishi Shel Sukkos, so 1 less day of annual leave to use for Chol haMoed.
I possess 2 pairs of Tefillin, but
a) I am not a Gemach
b) I do not reside in Monsey
c) I keep 1 pair in Shul & the other pair at home.
Hire a private investigator to track them down. They are good at tracking down lost children in custody battles, so I am sure they could well use their expertize to track down our 10 lost brothers.
The closer the garment to your body, the stronger is the Chiyuv of Keri’ah. i.e. The shirt is much stronger obligated in Keri’ah than is a jacket. This absolutely is also Halocho for Ashkenazim. Lamentably, I have seen many Availim with torn jacket but intact shirt, but it is not my job at a Shiva to grieve an Oveil, so I refrain from saying anything and hope their local Rov will correct them.
I believe that Yeshiva University already held 2 Hespedim at lunchtime at the time of the Levaye.
BTW:- How many babies this Tuesday morning have already been named Ovadiah?
I was Zoche to meet Rav Ovadiah Yosef ZT”l numerous times:- I have met him in Israel, the UK, and the USA. There was a time I would attend Shabbos Mincho followed by Seudo Shelishis at the Sefardi Minyan on the ground floor of the Heichal Shlomo Shul building, where he was speaking, each week.
Is it right to suggest a shidduch for yourself?
Absolutely!!! Grow up and take some initiative. If your premonition tells you to go for someone, absolutely get the show on the road, and 1 shidduch crisis fewer to deal with.
What type of shul is it? Hassidic, misnaged, modern orthodox? It is a Yekkish Shul.
CDG-Etoile is right by the Arc de Triomphe, so sounds like a very expensive area. I was there recently. The 1 Metro Train and RER A Train go to that stop.
But now I am back home in the Orient, almost on the other side of the world from both the Arc de Triomphe and from Goldres Green.
I live in the Orient Thousand of miles away from the USA, and it is even making big news over here, but the USA and in particular President Obama, are making laughing stock of themselves across the entire world.
Blame Obama and Kol haKovod & Kudos to our Dear Republicans in the Senate for Filibustering and in Congress for standing up for what is the right thing.
Everyone please bear this in mind as we go to Midterm Elections in 13 months time, and vote Republican on all slots.
@Tahini: I am looking for an ashkenazic shul.
You Eliahou1590 will probably wish to end up at the “Golders Green Beth Hamedrash” Shul, more popularly referred to, as “Munk’s Shul”, @9 The Riding.
This will probably be very much the style you Eliahou1590 are seeking. By the way:- Which Shul in Paris do you currently attend? Where in Paris do you live? In which Arrondisement? or/& near which Metro Station?
Based on your remarks Eliyahou15902, your English seems to be perfect anyways.
now comes consecutive days with no breaks or vacations,
Ikno:- I really don’t know what you are talking about? Are you out of touch with reality?
We have plenty breaks coming up:-
1) Columbus Day
2) Election Day
3) Veteran’s Day
4) Thanksgiving
I procured a black hat at a non jewish owned (EDITED) store on Fulton Avenue in Brooklyn, and it is considerably cheaper than at a Jewish store, and just as good quality.
Please discuss this issue with the pope; Unusually they are very fluent in many languages.
I don’t like adding names; It makes it more cumbersome both for the recipient and his children to have more names, when being called up to the Toroh.
More significantly, I know many people who did not add names but made remarkable recoveries, and unfortunately some with added names, who did not; Needless to say, I wish the Godol haDor, Rav Ovadiah Yosef shlita, a speedy & expedient recovery, which he so duly deserves.
And the year following this year, we should live and be well, is a 5S7 model, also with RH on Thurssay, Pesach on Shabbat.
The last time we had Rosh haShono 4 out of 5 years on Thursday & Friday, was 98 years ago, but next time shall be in 24 years followed by 27 years after that.
From 2070 to 2079 it shall not happen for 10 years straight. That shall be 1st time in 521 years, skipping 10 years straight.
But please bear in mind:- For working purposes:- It is much harder when all the Chaggim come out on a Tuesday & Wednesday, than having them come out on a Thursday 7 Friday.
None! The Minhog of Western Europe is not to say Ein KeiloKeinu on Hoshana Rabbo.
Golders Green is in the United Kingdom where they speak English.
It is about 200 miles away from the Eiffel tower where they speak French, and even there, at the Eiffel Tower, all notices & announcements are also posted in English.
Does anyone know how to keep shabbos in Middle America?
Yes! By studying the 4th of the 10 Commandments.
Ad Bi’as haGo’el
veHaKohanim veHo’om Hoyu Omdim bo’Azoro, so we do know what the people were doing:- They were standing in the Temple Courtyard.
They also felicitated the Kohen Godol when he emerged from the Avodo, unscathed.
Despite their fasting & the Bais haMikdosh not being air-conditioned, but the marble floors probably kept they Bais haMiokdosh fairly cool, indeed as the Mishno in Yumo alludes to with the Kohen Godol being fatigued & cold at nite, when young Kohanim flicked their fingers and read from book of Doniel etc.
In the 1980’s Actually 1982:- Margaret Thatcher A’H taught the Argentinians once & for all, that the Falklands are British. What a proud day for the British.
The 1980’s Actually 1981:- We had the Zechus of being Mekayem Birkas haChamo.
The early 1980’s:- Israel had the best Prime Minister it has ever had:- The Late Menachem Begin ZT’L.
Harri:- You yourself said that you cannot control yourself and you don’t even realize, so this is not connotation of a willful violation of an Issur miDeRabbonon.
Anonymous1000: What you learned is correct, but that you may change from Sefard to either Ashkenaz or Sephardi, since these 2 Nuscho’ous are so authentic, both having been around for millenniums.
However Sefard is so recent & has so many different variants, that it is wishy washy and unstable, and should be absolutely avoided.
But for your information harri & torahlishma613, you would be in even better company Davening Nusach Ashkenaz, especially that you grew up with Nusach Ashkenaz, so don’t even contemplate changing Nusach, let alone for actually changing Nussach.
I should also bring to your attention torahlishma613, that just about all the special prayers recited on Rosh haShono are identical in both Nusach Ashkenaz and Sefard, & just about all the differences are within the prayers also recited throughout the year.
So harri:- Retain your loyalty to Nussach Ashkenaz. You will be better off for it.
Biting nails with thy teeth as opposed to nail clippers or some pair of scissors is Osuur mi’deRabbonon, so doesn’t carry an Issur Sekilo for Schabbos nor an Issur Koreis for Yom kippur as would a Toroh prohibition.
Josh31 is correct, and I don’t wish to feel dressed for Shabbbos when going to work or on Sunday Stroll, so will only wear a white shirt on Shabbos, Yom Tov & Simchos.
Please bear in mind, that in olden days, when laundering colored shirts, the dyes would leak and ruin white shirts in the same wash. Withe massive improvement in technology, this is a thing of the past, and color shirt don’t run when being laundered, not even red & black shirts which used to be the 2 most notorious colors. so they remain honorable looking and don’t ruin white shirts being laundered with them.
226 years left. Very much nearer than our Ovos who had some 4000 years left.
yungermans:- You somehow seem to have left out another 9/11 from exactly 3/4 century ago; The European 9/11 is November 9th which was Crystal Nacht.
As for 9/11 being Tisha b’Ov we are on the final leg into a very critical Tisho b’Ov, with the forthcoming Tisho b’Ov marking exactly 1 century since the commencement of World War 1.
Just 4 weeks ago I was at the Flight 93 Memorial. As much as I thought I knew beforehand, I learned an incredible lot which I hadn’t known before going to the Flight 93 Memorial. We spent 2 whole hours at the Flight 93 Memorial, and every loyal American & decent Jew owes it to himself/herself to go & visit the Flight 93 Memorial. Despite being in a remote place, it was constantly busy, with lots of people coming to visit.
I saw the 2nd plane hit the South Tower with my very own 2 eyes, and vow that I shall never forget that horrific sight. I knew about 9/11 before even President Bush knew about it, his being occupied reading books to kids at a school in Florida.
9/11 shall always be observed, Dorei Doros, just as November 22nd [Kisslev 5th] coming up to be exactly 1/2 century, shall always be observed and remembered. Lo Tishkoch!! Period!!
Not 1 of them has ever changed my mind on whom to vote or whom not to vote for.
Ender:- FYI:- It is Ossur Min haToroh “veNishmartem Me’od leNafshoseichem” to ever smoke:- Period!!
Have different outfits for each day, such as a light grey suit in addition to a dark suit, and several ties & cufflinks:- This will keep you somewhat occupied & distracted.
You may also care to go to a Hashkomo Minyan 1 or more of the days, putting you on a different schedule, in addition to not going without food until lunchtime for 3 days running. Eating at regular hours:- i.e. Breakfast time, takes off the pressure to gouge down a huge lunch.
I have already returned to my old ways of not observing Tekias Shofor after Schacharis which I had been performing for an entire month.
Since you don’t know whence thy Shidduch is going to emerge from, you owe to thyself to investigate every suggestion & offer that pops up; Because how will you feel, if in the end you never get married & after 120, you are shown that this suggestion had been the real 2nd Half of thy Neshomo?
In this same vein, don’t turn down anyone plausible that comes up even on a computer on a Jewish dating site.
