My wife & daughter are both an “Isho Chashuvo” so as pair the Remo, they are Mechuyovos to lean.
As for unimportant women, they are off the hook for having to lean.
why do we date like we do?
To get married, because we don’t wish to emulate neither the previous nor the new pope to be.
When shall the Johrzeit in a leap year be observed for this couple?
Who gets custody of this young boy? Just this past week, YWN ran an article as to how important it is even for young couples to have a will. No-one could have imagined how timely this message was.
Tragically, this young boy is in the same situation as Abaye.
It was summer time, and was not airconditioned, so a resounding NO! I would not wished to have been there.
My wife woke up this morning and saw Adar 13th on her calendar, so commenced fasting.
Later she saw it also said Shabbos next to Adar 13th on her calendar, so discontinued fasting.
I once heard every 19 years it is the same. Is this true?
If you look at the time of Molad it would be even truer, but because our current calendar can be pushed off by up to almost 2 days to avoid Yom Kippur being on Friday or Sunday or Hoshana Rabba on Shabbos, hence this can push off date of Rosh haShono by up to 2 days, so not always identical every 19 years, but always within 3 day span.
Due to this ovelapping, 8 & 11 years later, tend to be very close.
This year shall be earliest since 1899, becaue Molad Tishri is less than 1&1/4 hours away from the cut offline.
By the way, Birkas haChamo is every 28 years, not 27 years. But 27 years apart tends to be very close in date, being 19+8 years.
Some Far East religions utilize an 84 year system. Again this is (4*19)+8 years apart, and is extremely accurately close.
I ony have 1 query on Terumoh:- Why do most of the Chumoshim commence Shelishi at the wrong location? Shelishi is supposed to commence by “ve’Es haMishkon Ta’asah” and not before the Parsha of the Menorah, which is still part of Sheini.
As long as MTA has a monopoly, all their apologies are not even worth a Peruto, and they are not going to care a Ki Hu Zeh.
The Bronx is the only Borough of New York City which is on the Mainland of the USA.
Oh:- to be very accurate:- When crossing over the Broadway Bridge from Manhattan to the Bronx, there is a tiny enclave on the very southern tip just North of the Bridge which is legally also part of Manhattan, so there is also a tiny enclave of Manhattan on the USA Mainland.
There are shittos that hold of that later zman. (I believe it includes Rabbeinu Tam.)
But seriously excludes the Mishno Beruro, who is incredibly emphatic about how critical it is to pray Mincho [Not just commencing but terminating the Amido] prior to sunset.
Yet please note however, that the Mishno Beruro makes no major issue about Maariv BiZemano V Early Maariv, nor of Schacharis before sunrise V Schacharis after sunrise.
Ordinarily, when confronted with 2 scenarios, 1 being with a Minjan but at a worse Zeman V a better Zeman b’Yechidus, praying at the Minjan always overrides the other preferable factor.
However:- 2 exceptions:- a) Mincho must be before sunset even B’Yechidus rather than with a Minjan after sunset; b) If someone is going on a long distance journey, even if he will reach his destination before the end of the Zeman of the current Tefiloh and be able to pray that current Tefilo at his destination with a Minjan, he must still pray that current Tefilo prior to setting off on his journey even if b’Yechidus.
However, even in the case of Friday Chanukah Mincho, it is better to pray with a Minjan after candle lighting than before candle lighting b’Yechidus.
Meeting someone on a dating website, while not a bad idea, is hardly traditional.
But having a Shidduch crisis and an unacceptable proliferation of old singles is even less traditional, so given that Jewish Dating sites are aiding in alleviating this intolerable scenario, it is very traditional to resort to whatever removes bachelorhood/spinsterhood and increases marriages.
Then they”ll cry about their unending singlehood and insist they’re not being picky, they just haven’t found their beshert.
& when such singles came to the Steipler, he berated them telling them, that you did meet your Beshert, but turned her/him down.
poppa_bar_abba & torah613613torah:- Sites like Frumster now renamed JWed and Orthodate, are dating sites.
Since the topic of this forum was the usage of computers, my remarks were very relevant, although I explained based on my sentiments, that computers are great to find a mate, but once specific questions arise, a computer cannot fulfill the role of a mentor.
In other words, if I wasn’t clear:- A computer can yes replace a Shadchan, but cannot replace a mentor.
It is absolutely the Jewish way to meet a Shidduch thru a Jewish dating site.
As far as using it in lieu of a mentor, get yourself a live mentor, even if you end communicating with this life mentor over e-mail or telephone, and even if this mentor who knows you is in Israel and your in the USA, or vice versa. But the mentor has to be familiar with your situation and circumstances, and be someone whom as soon as s/he hears from you, will immediately know where you left off last time you touched base, and needs no recapping each time you touch base.
Then how do you explain divorce?
By staying married and not divorcing, because divorce causes the Mizbeach as well as innocent children to shed copious tears, in addition to awful acrimony and suffering, so simply better to remain married and never divorce. Instead:- Work on your Middos & make a go of your marriage.
Yeshivat Chovevei Torah Rabbinical School (YCT) offers a Semicha program for women who aspire to become a Rebbetzen.
Actually 6 weeks & 2 days = 44 days.
FYI:- Parshas Shekolim is always 6 weeks prior to Shabbos haGodol, irrespective, of which day of the week, Rosh Chodesh Adar & Pesach come out.
more_2:- These dates were recent, so I did not require a calendar to verify them.
2 further points to consider:-
a) Parshas Shekolim is not Parshas Zochor, so if it becomes necessary to miss Shul:- so be it; Just remember to finish Seudo Shelishis long before nitefall, so that no questions arise about which Birkas haMozon to recite
b) Assume your Eiruv is down.
My biggest concern of this snow storm is that Mike Bloomberg shouldn’t Chas v’Sholom be Mechalel Shabbos in anyway whatsoever on account of this snow storm.
Beshert is whatever was written this past Rosh haShono [Monday Morning September 17, 2012] and sealed this past Yom Kippur [Wednesday September 26, 2012].
Well, as already promised in this coffee room topic, I am as per my word & commitment, increasing my Zionism, in protest at this organization which abstained from voting at the Israeli elections.
I have already made several purchases at the YU Seforim Sale.
Then IY’H this coming week I am taking this unexpected trip to Israel, to boost the Israeli economy. Based on the weather forecast, this snow storm should be history by the time my Aeroplane IY’H takes off. HaShem has been very good to me & my spouse, and we have a lot to be grateful for, that as Adar commences we shall IY’H experience true Simcha going to Eretz Yisroel [without a snow storm on the day of our trip], praying at the Kossel, and augmenting the Israeli economy. All of this on the coattails of this Rabbi who pressed so hard to dissuade voters in Israel, which truly repulsed me.
We eagerly look forward to purchasing & distributing Matonos l’Evyonim & Shelach Monos in Eretz Yisroel.
ThePurpleOne:- Well you shall certainly be ready for the next 5 Parshiyos already commencing this Shabbos @Mincho, whence “Argomon” = purple is the most dominant color and hence the color par excellence @The Mishkon.
i do realize that this is/would have been nekama.
& if you do go ahead and make these Schewa Berochos, who says it won’t be a “Netiro” scenario?
So either way, you are in a no win situation.
she finally realized this is not a joke! and she has to pay for her actions.
But because of this idiotic judge, every tax payer is paying for her actions, and not just this girl.
Verbal abuse does not rise to the level of physical abuse, and no-one other than herself was harmed by this Xanax, so the judge should be disbarred for his ludicrosity.
Christopher Columbus Z’L left Spain due to the Spanish Expulsion on Tisha b’Ov 1492, and reached the North American shore on Hoshana Rabba 1492, which you already guessed it, is time of the year whence we observe Columbus Day.
Although deboarding a ship on Shabbos or Yom Tov involves Halachic issues, I don’t think there is any Halachic issue about deboarding a ship on Chol haMoed.
goldersgreener:- FYI:- The London Beth Din is absolutely impecable, so don’t even entertain any aspersions against them Chas vSholom.
Most American Medical Insurances don’t recognize this medicine as being a longterm ongoing necessity, and hence don’t cover it, and hence that I have been ordering over the internet from 3rd world countries.
Believe me, my family is not wealthy at all
I order my Prevacid over the internet, from 3rd world countries, and you snowbunny3318 may wish to do the same.
My Dr. told me, that if my stomach is not bothering me, this proves that the medicine is doing its job, even if from a 3rd world country, and this type of medication is even easier than most medications, to know if it is functioning its desired effects.
My work place had a blackout today. I asked them to investigate, if this was connected to the blackout at Superbowl?
I am moving to Manhattan. With Ed Koch feeling so strongly about remaining in Manhattan, this has really inspired me to be in Manhattan, near a subway stop, and hence easy commuting.
Less Bitul Toroh with commuting & snow shovelling, being in Manhattan.
Think first

Never to early to buy a never its actually a Segula for a long life.
Not to mention, a wonderful Seguloh to end up paying less money for the same plot, as prices only move in 1 direction:- The same direction that our Neshomo will eventually go, but just so much sooner.
And yes we never know when our time expires so buy it while you can if you want to be buried In A specific place
If anyone had been expecting to procure a plot at Har Menuchos, they have probably already missed their chance. Har Menuchos is sold out. They may be working on building caves over there as per the Mishna in Bobo Basro, but I don’t think most of us wish to end up in a cave, not even if Halachically sanctioned.
Advocaat is always by far, superior to all other liqueurs.
Smart mature people shall have learned from their mistakes, and be even more serious & committed to making a go of it, and learning how to overlook other people’s fault for the bigger picture of being married.
On JWed formerly Frumster, or on Orthodate.
I am glad I wasn’t watching this stupid ball, and hence didn’t waste 35 minutes of my precious time, twiddling my fingers doing nothing during this blackout.
Instead I was studiously studying my Seforim which I procured today on the very 1st day of the YU Seforim Sale.
snowbunny3318:- Nechomah, I understand that, however due to the logistics of bringing me my medicine, I might not be able to get more until after pesach unless I go to a medicine gemach…
I utilize Prevacid which works very well.
As for Passover issue, my Dr explained me, that it is impossible for there to be Chometz in Prevacid based on its composition, even if from a Far Est of Latin American country, so no reason to wait until after Passover to stock up.
I proudly simulate the Techeiles on my lapel, with an Israeli Flag pin on my lapel.
Does anyone have Shiva details? Is there a Mishna listing to sign up? & if so:- Is it for the Shlosim? or the 1st Johrzeit?
Has anyone been assigned to recite Kaddish for the upcoming 11 months? Fortunately, Ed Koch missed the problematic Johrzeit timing just by 10 days [meaning that once Adar arrives and would have been Niftar therein, big problem with scheduling of Johrzeit in a leap year].
It sounds like you newbie were very inspired by the recital of the 10 commandments 2 days ago, and especially by the 2nd commandment.
I have a very hectic schedule, but if you feel I should place page 37 in the Sheimos collection, please feel free newbie, to stop by & pick it up.
As Rav Schwab ZT’L used to state when officiating a Get:- If anyone wishes to say or state anything , now is the time to do so, and they can say whatever complaints against my Gittin which they wish, but once this Get is dispensed, they shall be under a most severe banishment, if they should so much as dare open their mouth.
That you forgot the Possuk in this week’s Parsho of Mishpotiem:- veRapo yeRapeh.
So go & learn your Chumosh, and then observe it.
mirroronthewall:- and hear shofur the whole, elul
Needless to say, I blow the Shofar for my wife & daughter each & every morning in Ellul, before going to work. Furthermore, if for some reason I miss seeing them in the morning, they are also able to blow my Shofar. On Friday’s, if I left early, I still blow for them in the afternoon, as I am home before Sundown on Fridays.
But more disturbingly, can praying on a bus really engender an atmosphere of “Da Lifnei Mi Atto Omed”? Can any rational person really envision himself standing in front of a King? whilst on a fast moving bus, watching his balance etc.
Are you mirroronthewall talking about someone who is financially dependent on her parents? or someone who is on her won financial feet?
I paid $12,000 and obtained 2 plots in the Ancient Cemetery in Tzfas, 1 for myself, and the other for my spouse.
This makes it less than 1/3 of the price per plot, and far more Kedusho, and nostalgia, being that this cemetery has been in use for over 1 millennium, with great Gedolim.
Our plot is a few feet away from Yair ben Pinchos, who was mentioned this past Wednesday, 9 days ago, in the Daf Yomi {Shabbos 112}.
“the evil Zionist Israel”
mdd:- How dare you utilize such a “Loshon Bizoyon” in this coffee room.
Such awful phrases and appellations have no place on this website. Last Sunday was exactly 1/2 year from Tisha b’Ov, and with such awful appellations, there will be many more Tisha b’Ov’s haShem YeRachem.
I would say to Daven as soon as you can.
ShiraTobala:- This is exactly what I do. I almost always pray Mincho Gedolo, including Saturdays & Sundays.
Mostly, only Fridays doesn’t work out, bit even Fridays sometimes I also pray Mincho Gedolo.
“Rambam eruv,”
Could you rebdoniel please elaborate & explain what is a Rambam or Maimonides Eruv?
I have never heard of it, and something tells me that most users of this coffee room have probably also never heard of it. Notwithstanding, I have utilized the Brookline MA Eruv many times.
Wearing a nice pressed shirt surely was an excellent move on your part.
takahmamash:- So your time of arrival is being predicated on what is done in many places in Israel, whilst the time of arrival I mentioned is predicated on what most places do in the diaspora.
3) How much do you prepare for tomorrow? Schedule, keys, pockets,
I always prepare my clothing for next day before going to sleep, so that in the morning, I never arrive late to Shul Chas veSholom. BTW, the definition of arriving in time to Shacharis is being at least 5 minutes early, so that I am clad in Tallis & Tefillin before the Cantor commences services.
Of-course I also schedule time to talk with my spouse at nite, or to quote Hilary Clinton:- A am there at 3AM for my spouse.
