It may simply be an issue of crowd control. Water Street is wider than any Street in Borough park. Even Raoul Wallenberg [Formerly 13th] Avenue is not as wide as Water Street, and I don’t think they would ever get a permit to cordon off Ocean Parkway for a march.
Crowd control is a serious issue, and can under no circumstances be treated lightly.
147ParticipantMargaret Thatcher Z’L was a firm beleiver in the Issur meDeOrraiso of “Lo Sasig Gevul Re’acho” and of the statement of “Orur hoIsh Asher Masig Gevul Re’eihu” therefore she took no nonsense from the Argentinans when they had the audacity to storm into the Falkland Islands, and to true protect the Falkland Island’s legitimate boundaries, sent down the British Army to rightfully take back the Falkland Islands.
This strong conviction of hers, was a defining moment in her prime ministerhood.
147Participant1 year from this afternoon, on April 14th, shall be Erev Pesach.
This time last year, April 14th was Acharon Shel Pesach [Isru Chag in Israel].
147ParticipantAm I going to have better access to Minyonim for Yom ha’Atzmaut in Brooklyn or Lakewood?
147ParticipantEmpire or Garden?
If you enjoy a Garden:- Lakewood is in the Garden State.
If you enjoy an Empire:- Brooklyn is in the Empire State.
April 14, 2013 2:30 pm at 2:30 pm in reply to: Agudas Yisroel of America Plans Mass Tefila in Manhattan Against Draft Gezeria #945385147ParticipantHow about bringing this mass gathering forward to Yom ha’Atzmaut and singing Hallel Berov Om Hadoras Melech and using this glorious opportunity to thank haShem for the Medina and parying for it to become more religious.
147ParticipantKanoi:- Please note:- Medinas Yisroel is Reishis Tzemichas Ge’uloseinu! Period!
Make no mistake about this reality.
147ParticipantMargaret Thatcher Z’L was a tremendous Oheves Yisroel.
Margaret Thatcher Z’L was the one who single handedly, nominated the Late Chief Rabbi:- Lord Immanuel Jacobovits ZT’L to be a Lord; What was her reason?:- Because she admired his strong conviction to Mesoroh, and the fact that he would never bend from the truth, even when it was very uncomfortable.
Prime Minister Netanyohu has mentioned that he is flying to London to attend Margaret Thatcher’s Levayeh, becaise of her staunch Ahavas Yisroel; Let’s bear in mind, that this is a very difficult timing for Binyomin Netanyohu, as he surely is going to want to be in Israel on Thuesday for Yom ha’Atzmaut, and the very next day, he has to be in London for the Levaye.
147Participantavoda zara of Zionism
haKatan:- A lot of people are taking humbrage to your absurd depiction.
You obviously better take an immediate crash course in the true definitions of “Avodoh Zoro” and you shall quickly discover how misguided and out of place, your remarks were.
April 12, 2013 9:59 pm at 9:59 pm in reply to: Are there too many seforim being published today #945310147ParticipantJust bear in mind:- Every Sepher that has ever or will ever be published:- Moshe Rabbeinu studied during his 1st 40 days on Har Sinai.
So reading this topic, just helps magnify the multitude/vastness of this Nes of Moshe Rabbeinu’s accomplishments.
147ParticipantWhat is the question?:- Hallel is a Chiyuv whereas Selichos BeHaB is only a Minhog. Of-course a Chiyuv supersedes a Minhog.
147ParticipantWhy isn’t Kohen a boy’s name, as are Levy & Yisroel?
April 12, 2013 3:33 am at 3:33 am in reply to: PHOTO: Orthodox Jewish Man Covers Himself In Plastic Bag On Plane #945807147ParticipantBoruch Shelo Ossani Kohen.
Meanwhile I am Don this man leChaf Zechus that he is doing it for medical reasons because he has an immune defficiency. ….. But how does he lay Tefillin on the aeroplane with this plastic covering?
147ParticipantIs all your freelance work in one State? & in the state where you reside?
If so:- Hatzlocho with your taxes. If not:- Don’t even think of doing your taxes without an experienced accountant.
147ParticipantHow is he related to Dayan Moshe Swift?
147ParticipantI read Megillas Ruth & Esther, although I don’t know if they were authored by Ruth & Esther respectively?
But many of us also read books authored by Rebbetzen Esther Jungreis which are very fine books.
147ParticipantIn the current system, Yom ha’Atzmaut is only observed on Iyor 5th when it is a Wednesday [Happens in years when R’H shall be Shabbos].
When Iyor 5th is Shabbos, Yom ha’Atzmaut is Mukdom to Thursday Iyor 3rd.
When Iyor 5th is Friday, Yom ha’Atzmaut is Mukdom to Thursday Iyor 4th.
When Iyor 5th is Monday, Yom ha’Atzmaut id Nidche to Tuesday Iyor 6th, so that Yom haZikoron does not come out in juxtoposition to Shabbos, and hence is held off until Sunday nite.
147Participantrationalfrummie:- I couldn’t agree with you enough.
If not giving a Divine name from Tenach, why not an English name, since I learn Chumash into English with Artscroll, and not Archaic Jiddish.
147ParticipantI suggest that you take a look at some of the websites about public exceutions in Iran.
Something tells me, that probably not much has changed in their methods since the days of Vashti’s excecution.
147ParticipantBuilding onto BetShemeshInExile great insight, I should also add, it is stated that each Regel has a corresponding holiday:- Shovu’os has Purim [Both had a Kaboloh undertaking]; Sukkos has Chanukah [Porei Chag go down 1 in # everyday as does Beis Shamai’s candles]; Pesach has Yom ha’Atzmaut, as both entail a new founding & Liberation.
147ParticipantI would suggest and recommend that you choose a name from no longer living ancestor of yours or the name of a person that you knew who was special.
Yet even better:- Name after a living anscestor as per the Sephardi & Dutch Ashkenazi Minhog, and the 2 namesakes should grow from eachother in tranquility for many decades.
April 11, 2013 1:50 am at 1:50 am in reply to: Why is Yom Ha'atmaut 2013 different than past years? #944242147ParticipantWhy is Yom Ha’atmaut 2013 different than past years?
Because this year, even the Shas party has come out strongly in favor of maintaning the haTikva the way it is.
147ParticipantBetShemeshInExile:- I was already Zoche to hear this facet at a Yom ha’Atzmaut speech during the 1970’s.
But it was great reading this most fascinating item yet again, as we go into Iyor. Thank you so much.
Of-course Israel’s founding fathers had no idea about this, but haShem who orchestrated this wonderful event was absolutely 100% aware of this facet.
147ParticipantThings have been mostly civil in today’s slew of “Zionism-discussing” threads, so I can’t complain.
B’H we are all being civil, so likewise I will likewise politely & graciously wish everyone a sincere Chodesh Iyor tov uMevoroch, as we go into Iyor which has been blessed with 4 Holidays:-
1) Yom ha’Atzmaut
2) Pesach Sheni
3) Lag b’Omer
4) Yom Yerusholayim
Chodesh Tov uMevoroch
April 10, 2013 10:50 am at 10:50 am in reply to: How would you respond to Savage on Metzitzah #1027956147ParticipantBottom line, Savage is an entertainer.
KiShemi Ken Hu:- Hence:- Bottom Line:- Savage is a savage.
147ParticipantSo today is already 244 years since the passing of the Korban Nesanel.
April 8, 2013 11:14 am at 11:14 am in reply to: Questions About Monsey's Litvish/Chasidish Sociological Mix #1132810147ParticipantIf for any reason you are contemplating to reside in Monsey but commute to Manhattan with saying prayers on a bus, don’t even consider moviong to Monsey. This is an absolute total Bizoyon of the tenet “Da Lifnei Mi Attoh Omed” and couldn’t be a more reprehensible forum for addressing The Melech Malchei haMelochim.
147ParticipantShame upon you rtabs to shy away from a civic duty.
Why is your time more precious than everyone else’s? It is no wonder that so many cases have thge wrong outcome, because so many people are evading their civic obligation.
The fact that you rtabs may think that having a jury decide somebody’s fate to be an absurd & redicillous system, is your perogative, and I couldn’t agree more wholeheartedly with you. If a Judge or attorney or court officer has to make such decisions, their career is on the pipeline, so they will take utmost care to arrive at the correct decision. The Jury has no future career depend on their decision and simply wants to get it over with and go home.
So yes rtabs, I absolutely agree with you, that the jury system is a miserable failure. But until such time that the system changes, no-one including you & your wife, are above the current law & system.
147ParticipantThis year prior to Pesach instead of going to KRM for the big shopping spree, we went to Aron’s on Kissena Boulevard:- Also a cheaper store, but with a bigger car park where they bring your boxes to your car trunk. Furthermore, they segregated perishiables into a separate box, so we only had to unload 1 box immedeately, being late at nite, and could unload the other boxes on a subsequent day.
147ParticipantYou Shticky Guy &/or your Children’s school picture books have insulted the entire scenario of Shevi’i Shel Pesach which we commemorated this past Monday and the 50 miracles accompanying that saga as mentioned in the Haggodo, and this attitude tragically brings us to the current mourning during the Omer as per “Lo Nohagu Kovod Zeh loZeh” haShem yeRachem.
147ParticipantHere is the best advice you shall ever receive:- Stay away from any & all of these drugs!!!
They are all useless, and simply mess you up; But fill the coffers of the Dr’s who sign the prescriptions, and the pharmacists.
147ParticipantHowever, some mitzvot (such as eating matza after the first night of Pesach) do not entail any punishments but do bring reward to those who opt to fulfill them.
Like going to a Mikva on Erev YK is a Mitzwah, but no Aveiro if don’t get to a Mikva on Erev YK.
147ParticipantBut suppose the real cut off is sunset and not Tzeis haKochovim {& after all this is why we commence Shabbos before sunset in case sunset is the cut off} then why shouldn’t this option facilitate?
Just as cannot end 1st day Pesach early, by same token cannot commence 1st day Shovu’os late.
147ParticipantIf you hold of part 2 of Omer for mourning, thou mayest have music at the wedding; Notwithstanding, if your Sheva Berochos run into Iyyor, they are to be musicless, like someone marrying on say Tammuz 15th, whose Sheva Berochos after Tammuz 17th also have to be musicless.
As far as guests who observe 1st 33 days attending wedding of someone during last week of Nisson, at time of wedding thou art on turf of Baal[as] Simcho and hence follow his/her Minhog & are allowed to partake in music. That day still counts towards thy 33 days, as you couldn’t shave. But cannot listen to music in car on way to of from that wedding.
This being subservient to Minhog of Baal[as] Simcha only works for Availus of Omer or 3 weeks if invited to Yemenite wedding before Roch Chodesh Ov, but for mourner of a relative {i.e. Sheloshim & Yud Beis Chodesh}, this facet would not work.
147ParticipantHow about davening Maariv earlier on Nite 2 of Pesach? thus inducing the Temimus also at the beginning of the 7 weeks?
147ParticipantWas this pit 10 Tefochim deep? If so, there is a Mitzwah in Mishpotim to cover it, and if it was not covered, whoever dug this pit past the 10th Tefach has a Chiyuv to pay for the damage to these 2 boys.
147ParticipantBecause nobody wants to eat matzah once there is no mitzva for it.
BTW there already is no Mitzwah to consume Matzoh once the Seder is over, so I hope that once the Mitzwah to consume Matzoh was over, that you Yserbius123 were able to hold off another week before obtaining your pizza.
DaasYochid
If you think it’s so terrible, why did you do it?
No, I don’t do it, because I am already saving my money for the best quality steak at the moment of Chatzos on Ov 10th.
147Participantis b/c the torah said we shouldnt
FYI GG Yekke:- It is nowhere written in the Toroh that yesterday Nisson 22nd, that Chometz shouldn’t be consumed.
147Participant5 Kezeisim of Matzo is more than sufficient for 1 evening. 7 Kezeisim would simply be too much Matzo to handle.
Just learn how to be in control of your time, and plan the Seder schedule in a timely manner, so you simply do get up to Afikomon prior to Chatzos.
This may mean preparing for 2nd Seder way up front before Pesach, so can begin even 2nd Seder very shortly after nitefall. Careful planning goes an extremely long way.
147ParticipantStudy the 10th commandment:- Why same phrase {Yisro V voEschanan} “Lo Sachmod” for your pal’s wife? but why different phrase of “Lo Sachmod” & “Lo SisAveh” for your pal’s belongings?
This is great timing to study the 10 commandments as we so actively are counting the days until Shovu’os when we read the 10 commandments accompanied with cheese cake.
147ParticipantOnly 177 [25 weeks & 2 days] days left thru Simchas Toroh, so I am already actively learning Nusach Tefilo as well as actively practicing Kerias haToroh for Simchas Toroh.
147ParticipantOnly 163 days [23 weeks & 2 days] left thru Tishri 9th, so I am already actively working on the menu for our Seudo Mafsekes.
Fortunately I don’t have to deal with bringing my Kittel to the cleaners tomorrow, as I did not wear my Kittel at the Seder, and shan’t be wearing my Kittel until Rosh haShono and then Yom Kippur.
147ParticipantI am focusing exclusively on my 1st piece of meat on the dot of 1.01 PM on Wednesday July 17th, as soon as the clock strikes Chatzos on Ov 10th.
As far as I am concerned, if I don’t get to consume any bread before then, it shall not bother me 1 iota, as long as I have meat till 1 second before sunset on Tamuz 29th, and on the dot of Chatzos on Ov 10th.
147ParticipantHow about utilizing a Wimple for Gelilo?
It shall then be a huge honor for anyone performing Gelilo, and it evades all potential knots on Shabbos & Yom Tov, as a Wimple can never run into knotting issues.
147ParticipantFind me a source that there’s an Issur of Hachanah from Chol Hamoed to a weekday. Here’s a hint, you won’t find one.
Sam2 & ckbshl:- Listen to CD ROM #185 by Shalheves:- “Kedushas Chol haMoed:- Its Obligations and Pleasures” by Rebbetzen Vital Kalmanowitz.
147ParticipantMuch more problematic to cook on Chol haMoed for Yom Tov Sheni of last days, since Chol haMoed in Min haToroh, whereas Yom Sheni of last days is entirely mid’Rabbonon.
147ParticipantGoing to a zoo with a 2 year old is far more dangerous than with an embryo, as this past October some 2 year old at Pittsburgh Zoo insisted on being lifted up to see some wild dogs, and then tipped over & fell in and was mauled to death by the pack of dogs.
An embryo is not going to cry to be lifted up to see animals.
147ParticipantIs it ASSUR to eat hot dogs for some reason, Shabbos Chol Hamoed or not?
No! Only Ossur during the 9 days days [minus Shabbos Chazon], and this year & next year, also on Shabbos Yom Kippur.
147Participantem>right after Esther’s second feast
Every one else fasted 3 days = 72 hours Nisson 14th thru 16th, whereas Esther camed to the feast 2 hours before end of Nisson 16th, hence fasted 70 hours as says:- “uveChein Ovo El haMelech” where “Chein” is Gematriyo of 70 {72-2}, and at that feast Homon was hanged, so his Johrzeit is Nisson 16th.
As trustsharer said, past tense of hang for people is hanged, and for all other usages, is hung.
147ParticipantAre you Talmud talking about Shabbos Shir haShirim? or about Shabbos Koheles?
