I had only 1 reflection of Haazinu weighing on mind:- Today September 7th is the earliest that Haazinu ever did or will occur in our lifetimes. This was also the earliest Shabbos Shuva ever, in our lifetimes.
The latest Haazinu shall be on October 17, 2043; The latest Shabbos Shuva was on October 12, 1929.
Since Tashlich is a Minhag performed on Rosh haShono, how can one be Mechalel Yom Tov [an Issur mi’d’Orraisso] by driving a car, just to fulfill a Minhag of Tashlich?
This coming Shabbos & again on Shabbos in 56 weeks from today, I shall be on a very severe diet.
As for the 54 intervening Shabbosses, I pray at a Hashkomo, whence I am home by 8.30 AM. This being a normal breakfast time, so I make Motzi and eat in moderation as I am not in starvation mode as would be case by noon, when many people are so famished that they go on an eating rampage at a Kiddush.
As for myself, I again eat lightly at lunchtime this being my Seudo Shlishis, and then have an appetite for a Melava Malka.
I thus have cut out total starvation in the mornings, leading to 3 meals [reception followed by Seudo Shenis & Shelishis] in very close vicinity, especially during the winter.
Have grown 353 days older.
I cannot fathom what is so hard about remembering to make an Eiruv Tavshilin?
Just as I remember to eat my breakfast, or turn on the air conditioning, or to go to Shul or to lite my Chanukiyoh or to count the Omer or go to work, so likewise I take an Eiruv Tavshilin into stride and remember to make Eiruv Tavshilin.
We are privileged to be going to Eretz Yisroel for Succos. (if Moshiach does not come before)
If or better still “when” the Moshiach comes before Sukkos, something tells me, “Al Achas Kamo vKamo” that you would be going to Israel for Sukkos.
to Meron and Teveriah I hope “Tzfas” is also on your agenda.
I have also consumed sushi as as the main course, but on 1st nite of Shovu’os; This is the only Yom Tov which cannot commence on a Friday nite, and this topic specifies a Friday nite, hence I did not mention Shovu’os nite in my 1st comment to this topic.
Sushi works very well for entree being a fish entree, followed by chicken for main course.
Have consumed this menu numerous times @both Shabbos & Yom Tov seudos.
Any dark suit & white shirt and necktie and hat will work just fine.
Coming in a business suit, for sure cannot go wrong.
I respectfully refer you takahmamash to Sefer “Ta’arich Yisroel” a very thick version in Ivrit & a much briefer synopsis in English.
There are programs with Limudei Kodesh & secular studies leading to a degree at Yeshiva University, so this is probably very close to what you Being Real are seeking.
July is the only secular month which always has at least 1 Tzom, so July is doomed to be a bad month.
As for the Spanish train crash, drivers making cell phone calls is lethal all 365 days of the year, and not just in July.
The Steipler as well as the Chazon Ish also held that 18 applies even nowadays.
So does the Mishno in Pirkei Ovos.
Yet when it comes to teaching Chumosh, Mishno & Talmud, many people are commencing at ages younger than delineated in this Mishno:- Hence why aren’t they doing likewise when it comes to Chuppo age mentioned in this very same Mishno?
Just keep on davening. that eorks
Meanwhile there are several Segulos circulating with the advent of Rosh Chodesh Ellul, such as 1000 hours of non-stop praying at Mekomos heKedoshim and 40 days at Amuka.
You being real may want to sign up onto one of these Segulo programs.
Following this bus incident, and in honor of this 34th Johrzeit on Friday Ov 26th as reported on YWN, I made a special point this Shabbos of singing Shir haMa’alos to the wonderful tune of haTikva. The words of Psalm 126, fit so beautifully to the tune of haTikva.
Madoff received 150 years. This Clevlander received 1000 years.
1000/150=6.66667
Hence the Judge seems to have Ruach haKodesh, that this Clevelander’s Gehinom shall be exactly 6.66667 as intense & terrifying as Madoff’s Gehinom shall be.
Apart from the Judges’ Ruach haKodesh, what is Nigzar in Olom haZeh, haShem attempts to be Mekayem in Olom haBo.
Actually, until now I’d never made the connection between Elul and Lent. So you’re trying to do the equivalent of Mardi Gras?
Chas veSholom! Nothing could be further removed from the truth.
Ellul:- Serious-Absolutely! Sad-Absolutely not! We are reading the very last Parshiyos of the Toroh:- Sefer Devorim eagerly heading me’Eivel leSimcho from Devorim on Chazzon to veZos haberocho on Simchas Toroh.
It is so wonderful anticipating a month long of Chaggim & intense closeness to haShem. As children the excitement of the approaching Chaggim was incredible; All this with no worries about cleaning out Chometz. & the days are getting shorter, so Motzei Shabbos will once again be at decent hours.
When my kids were very little I made a special point of bringing them to Shul in Ellul to hear Tekias Shofor daily. Needless to say, I blow Tekias Shofor for my wife everyday before I head out to work.
Why don’t you mazaltov & wiy both read the entry on wikipedia explaining about baraitric surgery.
Everyone in Israel has a Rov:-
If you are Ashkenazi, Rav Dovid Lau shlita is your Rov for the next decade.
If you are Sephardi, Rav Yitzchak Yosef shlita is your Rov for the next decade.
moi aussi: The Royal family being from the House of Hanover are thus Misnagdim, & hence no wachtnacht, but IY’H I’ll join them for Shacharis & the Beris tomorrow Monday; Thereby all 5 Mondays of this month of Ov, not having had to say Tachnun by both Shacharis & Mincho.
I was Zoche to attend the Sholom Zochor last nite; I live within walking distance of Kensington Palace, so no Chilul Shabbos was entailed to get to the Sholom Zochor.
The grandfather Prince Charles [64] and the great grandfather Prince Philip [92] were with such Simcha on their faces.
Too bad if a man has lost out on the Mitzwah of marriage & child procreation:- But why compound this loss with the loss of a Tallis Godol.
Seeing a bachelor in their 60’s & 70’s still not wearing a Tallis is so sad, not to mention how humiliating it must be for them to parade their celibacy.
How about a little experiment of taking out the cardboard? I think you shall very quickly be wishing that you had never tampered with the cardboard.
I think that tomorrow Chammisho Ossor b’Ov they shall have a very active moment defining their true essence.
They shall be put to the test, whether to dress all in white to attract a mate, or whether to dress in black like many men rabbis dress in.
rebdoniel: After Tish b’Ov:- Did they serve refreshments this year? I was over by the program on Shiva Ossor b’Tamuz, and it was great, but it was simply too hot today to step outside without drinking due to the hear advisory for the North East.
Now that Tisho b’Ov is over, I am sure we are all gearing up to the 1 century anniversary of the outbreak of World War one next Tish b’Ov.
Meanwhile we’ll have 2 digressions before that with the 80th Johrzeit of the Chofetz Chaim, to be followed by the 80th Johrzeit of Rav Yehudo Meir Shapiro ZT’L.
Because they probably learn Toroh their entire time at camp as well as when traveling home as per “uVeLechtecho baDerech” and couldn’t learn today after Chatzos, so they had to factor in enough time to still be able to learn Toroh whilst commuting home.
I sing “Eli Zion” during the 9 days:- Even on Tisho b’Ov.
Is it important enough to exempt me from fasting on Tisha b’Ov? as I must drink more than usual for several days before & after donating blood.
If you’re allowed to add a name to a choleh then presumably the number of names you have isn’t a big issue
Please note that this procedure is known as “Shinui Shem” and not “Hosafat Shem”
This means changing a name, because in olden days, they simply changed the old single name to a new single name, when double names was not an option.
Nowadays when we anyways are utilizing double names, and are not on level to obliterate an already existing name, we simply add a name, albeit we still describe the procedure as changing the name.
We have commenced Sefer Devorim today, and in 5 weeks time [already 4 weeks at Mincho] shall be reading about the Ben Sorer uMoreh:-
The longer Trayvon would have been around, the more Aveiros he would have accumulated, so albeit it is too bad that he only spent 17 years in this world, but the less time, the fewer Aveiros that he shall have to answer for in the next world.
Don’t be Mevatel Talmud Toroh just to study some ancient language.
Whom
I adapted a picture of the Jews going into captivity at Churban haBayis for BackGround picture on my computer screen for duration of the 9 days.
The Halocho clearly states that someone who medically requires to consume chicken, at any rate if feasible, should endeavor to be Machmir & abstain from Ov 7th onwards, that being the day that they entered & pilfered the Beis haMikdosh; i.e. Until Ov 6th there are more grounds for leniency in case of necessity & medical issues etc.
BTW it is more important to fast on Tisha b’Ov and if this person who is allergic to Dairy & Pasta will be so weakened by skimp eating for 8 days prior, it is more important to eat enough to ensure his/her ability to have strength to fast on Tisha b’Ov.
Please don’t misunderstand. I even said I wasn’t sure I was telling over his speech correctly about what the banner is referring to. It’s hard to remember everything that’s said when you’re in an emotional state.
Odds are that you Gefen can get a recording of the speeches A.K.A. Eulogies from the family.
As traumatized as they are, it will mean a lot to them, that a few days later, someone is still interested in hearing the sermons again.
Teiku
Meanwhile: Sincerest condolences to all coffee room readers on these 9 days.
Because my father wasn’t a kohen
“Boruch Shelo Ossani Kohen” otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to marry my wonderful spouse.
I want to spread the name around for tehillim please.
& I want to spread the message around that:-
1) We pay much more attention to the whereabouts of our toddlers.
2) We cordon off our swimming pools much better, or failing that, get rid of private swimming pools.
Something tells me that the people out there voicing the most vociferous objections are the biggest Tznius violators.
& in particular, all these Jewish Doctors treating women, who have no regard whatsoever for Tzeni’us, using Medical needs as an excuse to violate all levels of Tzeni’us.
On a day like today being over 90F, it is a great way of fulfilling a Mitzwah Asseh mi’de’Orraisso of “veNishmartem Me’od leNafshoseichem”.
This was the exact question which was once posed to Rav Avigdor Miller ZTKLLH’H, and this was his response which I heard in person:- “Because they taste Good!!”
Why don’t the Rabbonim enforce Tznius?
The 1st thing they require to do to fix Tzeni’us is to do what the Rabbonim in Yerusholayim 300 years ago were doing:- Anyone who reached 20 years old and wasn’t married, was ordered to get married failing which they were expelled from Yerusholayim.
If the Rabbonim don’t feel up to this task, how are they going to ever enforce any other item of Tzeni’us?
The world is still and always being run buy a loving Hashem. Especially in light of the fact that the name of the month is “Ov” which means “Father”, and in fact is the only month of the entire year whose name has a specific meaning. Clearly a “Father” is not going to reject us, but may wish/need to fix wrong things.
As far a “Me’atim bSimcho” clearly not consuming is going to lead to a massive reduction in Simcha, as my stomach is not adept to vegetarian dishes etc.
It is because of snide comments like yours Toi which was made to espouse Sinas Chinom, that tragically we are still in the Churban haBayis for 1943 years & going.
They commence at Sundown.
However:- If you pray an early Ma’ariv after Pleg haMincho:- Then the 9 days already commence from Ma’ariv, even prior to Sundown.
The Good Old Days Are NOW!
I assume eclipse, that now implies as of 12 Noon on January 20th, 2017, unless of-course there is an impeachment, and Good Old Days commence even sooner.
This is exactly why Mr. Snowden is a Hero and must do everything in his power to never walk back into the American trap, unlike Casper Weinberger who is a wicked traitor who betrayed Mr. Pollard.
If Mr. Snowden & Ms. Chapman get married, this will be the penultimate slap to Obama.
We took Path Train to Exchange Place, and from there had an excellent view of Macy’s Fireworks, without all the massive crowding and having to come hours before.
BTW we had the foresight to buy our Path Tickets for our return journey before the show, knowing that after the show, the lines would be impossible.
