Anyone pronouncing the Choulom as an “oy” sound unless the Choulom is followed by a “Yud” is ignorant of the rules of correct Hebrew pronunciation. There are only 2 authentic & hence correct pronunciations:- 1) “Oh” as in Go. 2) “Ow” as in How or House.
Anyone who is ignorant of this rule of reading Hebrew should urgently read Rav Hamburger’s learned & intricate details & explanation of this fact; Urgently:- so by next Kerias Shema, you will at least fulfill a Toroh obligation correctly.
Exactly as sushee said, and on her Kesuvo, write in, Bas her maternal grandfather’s Hebrew name.
Every year on marCheshvaon 9th on the Johrzeit of Nachshon Waxman HY’D whose nails were savagely ripped out by his arab kidnappers Yemach Shemon vZichronom
We are currently on the 3rd occupant of the White House who has no sons but only daughter
.
I was a member on SYAS for while, but they had weird rules.
But I also was on Frumster now known as JWed, as well as Orthodate, where I ended up being Zoche to have met & married my spouse.
Tragically, the narrow sightness & inflexibility of these separated weddings are squandering numerous opportunities for meeting potential Shidduchim and hence tragically exasperating this tragic Shidduch crisis.
I never had time to zone in for his passing away, as I was in the midst of my own sitting Shiva for a dear departed family member.
Tuesday Wednesday is the most frequent & also the worst day for Rosh Chodesh to com out. It forces 4 days of longer Davening and puts a huge strain on working men.
World Trade Center
What is the difference with mixed seating on an aircraft? V mixed seating at w wedding? Especially in light of the fact that I am served Kosher food at these 2 scenarios.
Do wives or girls have to shlug hoshanas? Absolutely.
Considering that only 3 factors went into the formulation of our current fixed Jewish calendar, one of them being that Hoshana Rabba is never to fall out on the Holy Shabbat {the other 2 being that Yom Kippur not be Friday nor Sunday}, just so that the 5 Arovos can be beaten 5 times on the ground, this speaks volumes to me, as to how incredibly important this Mitzwah simply has to be.
So absolutely no-one is off the hook, for this exceedingly important ritual.
Following my recent marriage to my wonderful wife, I recite “Shelo Assani Kohen” each & every day without any exceptions whatsoever.
Please take note Ken Zayn, that irrespective of whether you go to work [Lo Oleinu] on Chol haMoed or utilize internet on Chol haMoed, or abstain from these activities, it has absolute no bearing on whether you are to lay Tefillin or not.
The 1 & only factor, that determines & matters & counts is thy Dad’s Minhog, and nothing else.
Just for the record, BeHaB does not commence for another 3&1/2 weeks. It shall be the Monday & Thursday of Chayei Soro & Monday of Toldos; i.e. marCheshvon 20th, 23rd, 27th.
R’ Aharon Kotler forced chassidishe bochurim into the sukkah. :- When someone is fortunate to have a Messoro, no-one should force him/her to deviate from his/her Messoro.
It is incomprehensible & perplexing & painful to me, how someone could be forced to break away from his/her ancestor’s tradition.
The Rem’o (HoRav Moshe Isserles ZTKLLH’H) Paskaned to wear Tefillin with a Berocho, and he was such a Choshuv Rabbi, that his Pesak is good enough for me to adhere to.
Hence, even on Hoshana Rabba I lay Tefillin with a Berocho.
BTW:- Whilst on this topic, on 1st weekday Chol haMoed Pesach I keep my Tefillin until after Shelishi of Kerias haToroh, so that I have 2 extra opportunities to kiss my Tefillin, as the commandment of Tefillin is being recited by the Ba’al Koreh.
So Gotbeer:- Please let us know what Chiddush you have taught us? These are 2 Halochos which we have all known for decades.
Next year, Pray at a small Minyan without such a crowd, and you’ll have no problems encircling 7 times.
Do you wish to settle down & get married? or do you wish to investigate everything to the nth degree from the vantage point of the old spinster?
Although I read your 1st post with interest, but when on your 2nd posting you mentioned that you have been dating for 1/2 decade, this raised a flag & for your good, I am startling you wish my blunt question, as probably no-one has ever been so blunt with you.
In light of tonite’s weather forecast, this shall be a non-issue, and tomorrow pray really hard during Tefillas Geshem, and tomorrow shall thereby also become a non issue.
According to your reasoning YW Brand, wearing shoes should be just fine on Tisha b’Ov, since there is no Kedusho whatsoever on this saddest of all days.
So how do you now explain the absence of leather shoes on Tisho b’Ov? & during a Shiva?
You WolfishMusings forgot to mention what you did vis a vis your Kittel on Rosh haShono of your Shono Rishono?
For whom:- Not for your Kittel. Being in Shono Rishono, stay away from your Kittel for 1 more year until the Simcha of Shono Rishono is over.
Akuperma:- Everone in this world is within a 300th cousin, and probably closer than that.
But for your information, right after the Chag, I am marrying my niece. Even a closer relative than my cousin. Everyone is so excited about our forthcoming Chassunoh.
Busy today, being the last day of the third quarter, for banking & business records.
For sure, if the guy has one of the 7 Ushpizin names, you should absolutely be dating him on the day of his Ushpizin.
e.g. If the Guy is called Moshe, date him this Friday; or if Yosef, date him this Thursday; or if Yaakov, date him this Wednesday.
Needless to say, on Chanukah, if the guy has the name of a Shevet or a Nossi or the father of a Nossi, absolutely date him on the day of his Nossi’s Korbon.
Yaakov Doe:- Correction:- One should dress as if it were Shabbos, but on Yom Tov wear even finer clothing than on Shabbos or Chol haMoed.
In practice, one basically wears Shabbos clothing, but with some weekday clothe, in view of differing opinions, although for sure, in much better attire than on an ordinary weekday.
In practice, I wear Shabbos suit & ties, but weekday shirts, as don’t have enough Shabbos shirts, considering for sure, no laundering on Chol haMoed.
The last few years I wore a pair of real size clogs for Purim; The questions came up:- since Yom kaKippurim is “like Purim”, Hnece:- Should I also wear these life size clogs over Yom Kippur?
My white sneakers match my white shirt & white tie, just fine.
Do you Mochel me?
For your info. Sam2 & Uneeq, this is a Pesak that I received from my late Rosh Yeshiva ZT’L, so your comments were disrespectful to the memory of my saintly Rosh Yeshiva ZTKLLH’H.
Thank you Haifa Girl for your kind comments, especially if you are based in Haifa, where English is a foreign language.
I am so glad & relived that the Asseres y’Mei Teshuvo have finally arrived, as I have been waiting so impatiently for them ever since last marCheshvon, as I cease my 11 months of Kaddish recital during these Asseres y’Mei Teshuvo.
Being the Asseres y’Mei Teshuvo, please ensure that your cheese is Cholov Yisroel, even if you do consume Cholov Akkum the remainder of the year.
Once, and this includes my saying 2 Kaddishim on the Ommud + 2 mourner’s Kaddishim, each only recited once, getting “L’Eilo L’Eilo MiKol” correct 1st time around each time.
But I shan’t have to worry about saying L’Eilo twice by mistake after Yom Kippur, as I am terminating my 11 months of saying Kaddish in the middle of the Asseres y’Mei Teshuoh.
How about:- Teka beShofar, A Shofar Blowing Manual, by Avrohom Reit.
The Rashbak:- Please note that this is only the 2nd time that there is Kerias haTorah on your Granny’s Johrzeit, the last time having been her very 1st Johrzeit in 1998.
Your Granny’s Johrzeit can come out on a Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, but never on a Monday, Wednesday nor Shabbos.
Yes:- Plenty thoughts:-
The American 9/11 = WTC
The European 9/11 = Crystal Nacht
the Jewish 9/11 = Tisho b’Ov, when counting the Jewish months from Tishri, and excluding any extra Adar, or Nidche to the 10th.
Which Terminal?
I was at work in Downtown Brooklyn, on the 21st floor, watching the 1st tower billowing in smoke. As the 2nd plane was approaching, some of us thought it may be a rescue plane. The instant it rammed into the 2nd tower, we knew with absolute certainty, that this was full fledged terrorism.
I got into a subway which was still running at the very beginning, to Lower Manhattan. I was a few blocks away from WTC, when we began to hear this unforgettable sound of the Tower imploding. As fast as we could run, the smoke was coming after us even faster. I dashed into some building into the basement, to escape the oncoming smoke.
Eventually we were told that we have to leave that building; By then, the air had already began to clear, and I was walking up by South Street Seaport, going North. As I was passing one of the intersections, I saw the 2nd Tower implode.
In light of the fact that even the WTC imploding, the air cleared up in about 20 minutes, therefore they should have 1 day clear out Lower Manhattan, and simply blown up the Deutsche Bank Building, and this entire saga would have been over in a matter of minutes, instead of having endured for years & 2 dead firemen.
It is highly disrespectful to disturb US Citizens on the 11th Johrzeit of the World Trade Center.
If this was too early for you WIY, think about next year when Selichos shall commence prior to Labor Day. This shall surely be too early for you.
This name is already taken
YOu have it easy Iimagine what the sefardim go through (they started on rosh chodesh)
Bear in mind, how easy the Sephardim have it during the days, especially when the real date of Tisho b’Ov comes out on a Sunday. However this is all far too short lived for them, as they pay back very dearly just a month later, when they have to pay back for the easy 9 days with far more days of Selichos.
But I believe that the Sepahrdi Selichos are not as long nor as varied {i.e. not a different one each & everyday} as the Ashkenazik Selichos.
The answer to your question aurora77 is, that whereas these two in NYC touched down 1 day before commencement of Selichos, the last 2in NYC touched down two years ago, one day before Yom Kippur nite.
I assume that you OnlyTheTruth are thinking towards next week vis a vis the Asseres yeMei TeShuvo, when one is supposed to make a special concerted effort not to consume Cholov Akkum nor Pas Akkum.
Although not consuming Pas Palter during the Asseres YeMei TeShuvo is a reasonably well known Halocho, somehow very few people realize that this Halocho is one & the same vis a vis Cholov Akkum. …….. Despite today being 1st day of Selichos, this Halocho does not kick in, until the actual Asseres YeEmi TeShuvo.
However, if the Asseres yeMei TeShuivo was not your concern OnlyTheTruth, I don’t know why you sent such an excessively long communique. Somehow the various branches of Dunkin Donuts in Midwood have already had this scenario for years, and the Jewish public seem to know their comfort level on these issues and how to handle them.
The way this Rosh Yeshiva Judged this fellow, he may have to fear that he’ll too be judged so scrupulously come R’H in another 11 days time.
& if I had been the Chosson at that wedding, I would have immediately defrocked him from being Mesader Kiddushin, and asked another Rabbi to officiate.
Based on a Possuk in Parshas Rishon of Kedoshim, it is 100% Ossur mid’Orraisso to steal; Confiscation is just a cover up word, for nothing short of full fledged stealing.
Note:- I did not say based on the 8th commandment, because contrary to the translation in most Chumoshim, the 8th commandment is “Don’t Kidnap” which is not the topic being discussed in this coffee room.
Only if the carrying will affect the rate of burning; But in practice, carrying the lit candle will in some way or other, affect the actual rate of burning.
The name Moshe is far too widespread.
B’H my children have very prominent but far less widespread Hebrew names.
WolfishMusings:- Are you suggesting that I quit my job, since my manageress & supervisor are both females?
Obviously you don’t even comprehend what you are ranting about. Asking your Mum how she is/was feeling is Derech Eretz of the highest order in compliance with the 5th commandment.
Talking to the patient next to what was you Mum’s bed is a Mitzwah d’Orraisso of “Mah Hu Mevaker Choleh Af Atto Mevaker Choleh” i.e. veHolachto bi’Derochov.
I hope you don’t disgrace yourself by not wishing your Mum “leShono Tovo TiKoseivi ve’Seichseimi”, as well any aunts or female 1st cousins you may have.
I have a Shofar for Ellul, which I blow day in & day out for my family.
I have no reason to outsmart the Rabbis & come up with some other potion for Ellul, whilst the Rabbis of yore felt that Tekias Shofar was the appropriate potion for Ellul.
