Fortunately, the saint:- Michael Bloomberg, has the cure. Outlaw guns, and get all guns off the streets of America.
Michael Bloomberg is so absolutely correct & on target. To quote the Mishna in Pirkei Ovos in transformed words:- “Marbei Guns >>>> Marbei Murders”.
Michael Bloomberg must draft a new amendment to undo the 2nd amendment, and outlaw the right to bear arms.
enlightenedjew:- Donate to kupat hair. You’ll get a shidduch – guaranteed!
How can you enlightenedjew guarantee? Are you a Novi? or future teller? or fortune teller?
But just in case “enlightenedjew’s guarantee” doesn’t work out despite a “Guarantee”, then how about:- Go to Amukah? and then get onto the computer & register onto Frumster & Orthodate?
HaLeiVi
This whole Gadol Hador concept is mainly for the yeshivishe crowd, and definitely not for Yerushalmis.
Actually this entire concept, leHavdil Eleph Havdolos, is for catholics, who specifically elect a pope to be their official manhig.
How about learning Kitzur Shulchon Oruch, in light of the fact that Rav Shlomo Ganzfried ZTKLLH’H [author of Kitzur Shulchon Oruch] & Rav Elayashiv ZTKLLH’H both share the same Yohrzeit of Tammuz 28th, albeit 126 years apart.
This year for 1st time in 14 years we have to grapple as to what defines the week of Tisho b’Ov?
From this Saturday nite? or from next Saturday nite?
Hopefully at MetLife Stadium. At least he would speak English or/& Ivrit, and not Yiddish.
In light of all that he has done for Jonathan Pollard, it would be a huge Zechus to hear this Rov address 90,000 Jewish people, since he is such a huge Oheiv Yisroel.
I cannot fast this Yom Kippur Kotton, as I must consume meat prior to the onset of the 9 days.
I have heard of someone whose doubled Matzeivo was inscribed with her name & praises when her husband died, so that when she dies, they just to add the death date.
Rav Ovadiah Yosef shlita as of 4.37PM Israel time, is the current Godol haDor & Manhig haDor.
The Ba’al Mussar haDor clearly is Rav Shlomo Brevda may he have a quick & speedy & full recovery, to recommence his speeches in English to enlighten this weakened generation..
The 9 days is a good time to be careful as a Hachono for Parshas vaEschanan which states:- veNishmartem Meod leNafshoseichem.
Talking on blue tooth &/or cell phone, is not only dangerous for a driver, but also for a pedestrian, and not only during the 9 days, but all 365&1/4 days of the year.
But 9 days is also an excellent opportunity to stay safe & quit smoking because:- 1) 1 less danger during the 9 days; 2) It weans you of 1 addiction prior to Tisha b’Ov when smoking is Ossur; 3) Can save money wasted on cigar[ette]s to prepare your outfit & travel expenses for Bi’as haMoshiach.
When Rav Meir Kahane HY’D was assassinated, I heard from Rav Avigdor Miller ZTKLLH’H, that Rav Meir Kahane HY’D is destined straight for Gan Eden, because he died “Because he was a Jew”.
I met him on Friday of the Asseres Yemei Teshuvoh back in 1985, when I posed to him the question of Yom Tov Sheni issue?
He asked me, if I were to meet a rich Swiss girl, would I quit on being in Israel? I said, no. He told me to observe 1&1/2 days Yom Tov.
Ad haYom haZeh, whenever I spend Yom Tov in Israel, I observe 1&1/2 days Yom Tov. In latter years I got this same Pesak from 2 other Gedolim.
That same year, 7 months earlier, I had met his Mechuton, the Steipler who looked more like a Mal’och than like a human being, bearing in mind, that I had never seen a photo of the Steipler before meeting him.
That same year, I also saw his other Mechuton, Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach numerous times, when I spent a few months in Sha’arei Chessed and saw him at the Gr’a Shoule almost daily. By the way I often led services or/& Leined the Torah, and Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach never had a complaint and kept allowing me to perform. Only comment he ever made to me to fix up, was to recite Kaddish d’Rabbonon if no-one else recites it, despite having my 2 parents. I could never bring myself to do that, until this year when unfortunately I have become a Chiyuv.
Avrohom {Read Wikipedia like I did}
In addition to Davening, I am going to do my Hishtadlus. My Hishtadlus shall consist of relocating to a swing state/ battleground state, so that my vote is really & truly meaningful & has impaction.
As we get nearer to the elections, I shall have to carefully evaluate & monitor, if it shall have a bigger impact, if I relocate to Florida, or Ohio, or Colorado, or one of the other swing states, but I am in touch with estate agents in all 3 states as well as some of the other swing states, as well as with moving firms, so that I can on very short notice relocate to the state which appears to be having the closest & hence tightest race.
Why do the girls have almost all the unusual names, but the boys don’t have nearly as many unusuals as the girls?
Because there are approximately 6 times as many male names as female names in the TeNaCh.
Refoel is common, but why have I never met a Tzephaniah? considering we recite a Possuk from his Sepher immediately preceding Korbonos each & every morning. & why have I never met a Yishmoel? who was such a smart Rabbi to devise the 13 mnemonics to learn Torah? & why have I never met an Abbaye? nor a Robbo?
The Chassidishe Gatesheader:- “Heard”
Rav Avigdor Miller ZTKLLH’H held that all these camp visitation days were one big waste of time & 1 massive Bittul Torah.
I had him say this numerous times.
I’ll hold off & commence my sorry’s = Selichos in 8 weeks time, and do my Teshuvo in 73 days time, on Yom-Kippur.
Why is no-one utilizing her name nowadays? If, because “Sorach” means “Stink”, then why is anyone utilizing the name “Miriam” which means “Bitter Water”?
& if the name “Miriam ” is being so widely utilized, why is no-one utilizing the name “Machalo” from the 5 smart daughters in both yesterday’s & again in this week’s Parsha.
yummy cupcake
as one of my sem rabbaim said “we should be zoche to a lichtige chanuka, a freilichen purim, a milchige shavuos, un a fleishige tisha b’av!” ………. This year is the 1st time in 14 years, that we shall be consuming meat on Tisha b’Ov, and this being preceded by wine @Kiddush.
Spend Shiva Ossor b’Tamuz in the Southern Hemisphere, and Assoro b’Teves in the Northern hemisphere.
For Yom Kippur & Tisha b’Ov, go the most Western part of the earth, and minutes after the commencement of Yom Kippur & Tisha b’Ov respectively, step over the Jewish Date Line, to the most Eastern part of the earth, and you shall have already just concluded Yom Kippur & Tisha b’Ov in a matter of minutes.
The most natural & effective help for any & all children, is to be with their fathers; In the unfortunate event, that their parents are no longer together, the most natural & effective help for any & all children, is still to be with their father;
They can even test the drinks of the President of the United States of America, or of any other politician.
The Halocho is that after 6 years old,a boy goes to the Father.
If any Beth Din Chas vSholom does not comply with this Halocho, you may as well go to secular court and have the so-called rabbis from that dysfunctional Beth Din defrocked for going against Halocho.
A picture frame or photo album. With these, you shall be remembered for a long time to come.
Baby clothing, as soon as s/he outgrows it, you are forgotten.
Arriving on time {for Schacharis being defined as 5 minutes early, so that you are already clad with Tallis & Tefillin for commencement of services} shall surely enhance the Davening experience.
kfb: You should celebrate Yom ha’Atzma’ut simply because of the Menuchas haNefesh that you know that should there ever be a pogrom in the USA {& if Chas v’Sholom Obama wins a 2nd term, this certainly cannot be ruled out} you know we have a haven open to us in Eretz Yisroel.
This is only the tip of an iceberg. There is a lot more reason for celebrating Yom ha’Atzmaut even in Chutz lo’Oretz.
I know people who got married, because they went onto Frumster, and after they were engaged & married, various people who had known both sides exclaimed they simply had never thought up this match, but what an incredibly great match. ….. Meanwhile the couples who met on Frumster saved an arm & a leg in Shadchonus fees.
BTW:- Anyone & everyone in this coffee room is computer literate, and hence anyone reading this thread is capable of registering & going online on Frumster, with zero exceptions & zero excuses.
Enjoy the chocolate, either this Shabbos on Shiva Ossor b’Tammuz, or Shabbos in 3 weeks on Tisho b’Ov, or of-course in the 9 days when you shall be deprived of juicy steak & meat.
Have in mind that you are eating it to have more energy l’Shem Shomayim, and then go & do some learning with that burst of energy.
2scents:- I suggest:- Get Far Away from Baltimore, and never go back to that cruel weird location.
The world is big enough, without having to be in Baltimore.
FYI:- I am about to fly out to the Southern Hemisphere, to reduce the # of hours I’ll have to fast on Tammuz 18th, where they are in early winter. Would you like to join me to the Southern Hemisphere? and have a great excuse to get out of Baltimore.
yehudayona:- Isn’t Mo’oz Tzur a tune from a German Pub?
July 4th:-
Independence day, 236th birthday of the United States of America {Tammuz 17th}.
36th Anniversary of the Entebbe raid {Tammuz 6th}.
36th Yohrzeit of Yonatan Netanyohu ZT’L {Tammuz 6th}.
If you cannot say “No” then say “Lo”.
Also, try & call the Shadchan at a time when you believe s/he shall be out and you are likeliest to get an answering machine, and then just be firm & decline, and explain that it is not your normal policy nor mode to decline, and ordinarily you give the potential candidate at least a 2nd chance, but in the given situation you simply don’t want to give any false illusion.
Of-course if the Shadchan has an e-mail, and the Shadchan won’t take No or “Lo” over the phone for a response, just send an e-mail [irrespective of what anyone at the Asifah ever said]. Makes sure your message or e-mail is in English & not in Yiddish.
Of-course also:- Always thank Shadchan profusely for his/her time & efforts, even if you don’t mean it. ………. & if Friday or Rosh Chodesh or Ellul, add Good Shabbos/Good Chodesh/Shono Tovo in your message, even if you are irate at the Shadchan.
pcoz:- the British were defeated both on July 4, 1776 and on Yom ha’Atzma’ut 1948. So they [July 4th & Yom ha’Atzma’ut] share an incredible lot in common.
Are they still collecting money for the Sepher Torah being written in Leiby’s memory? or has this Sefer Torah already been inaugurated?
But it is horrifying that levi aron has not yet been brought to justice.
Of-course I would say Hallel on July 4th, but the problem is, that July 4, 1776 was Thursday Tammuz 17th, 5536; Hence I don’t feel up to reciting Hallel whilst in the midst of fasting;
B’H that Iyyor 5th, is not a fast day, and hence I am up to saying Hallel on Yom ha’Atzma’ut.
I know someone who was given a Pesak from his Rosh Yeshiva not to touch base with his ex-nor with his out-laws prior to Tzom-Kippur to seek Mechiloh, as this would cause more animosity, than solve & create Sholom.
Unless you are a Kohen, you most likely will be wishing to date a divorcee, and even if a Kohen, or an Almonoh; i.e. someone who has previously been in a marriage will be able to relate to you.
Someone who has never been married, is in a different world than you, especially if you are older than someone in the early 20’s.
Please re-post the question in French. It is a legal provincial law & obligation in the Province of Quebec, to transact business in French & not in English.
Da’as Yochid:- Pe’uloh is the actual action/deed, such as a winner winning the auction, or the A/C going on or off with the time switch.
What is the difference in putting the bid before Shabbos and letting the Pe’uloh go thru on Shabbos? Verses:- Setting the time switch before Shabbos, and letting the Pe’uloh go thru on Shabbos?
Do they need a zechus from me for an aliyas neshama?
Whatever the response:- I hope/assume that by now with 4 children & 17 grandchildren + great-grandchildren and a great-great-grandchild that every single of those 7 siblings & her parents, have been named for?
When MTA struck during Kisslev/December 2005, or during the blackout of the North East during Av/August 2003 I had no choice but to use the Brooklyn Bridge to walk across, but when the subway runs, I go across the Manhattan Bridge with the Subway.
@ my Shul, the members of the Chevra Kadisha do their task gratis; It is a privilege to be involved with such a great Mitzwah, and they wouldn’t wish to detract from the Kovod hoAcharon by being paid in this world.
Kohanim can only have token share in this Mitzwah, by cutting planks of wood for a coffin, before the coffin is brought to the deceased, or by helping with Shiva Minyanim.
Getting drunk is off limits 24/7/365. It is even off limits on Purim. Drinking slightly more wine on Purim than on a regular day and falling asleep is more than enough to fulfill:- not knowing difference between Boruch Mordochai V Orrur Homon.
They should learn Korach to stay away from his deeds, and more importantly, they should learn from “Ohn” to listen to one’s wife, and stay aloof from trouble.
Of-course being generous with Terumo & Ma’aser & Terumas Ma’aser as delineated in this week’s Parsha is also a great topic.
I won’t mention to talk about being smarter than Korach who dipped his entire Tallis in Techeles, because I am being “Dan” the Chosson “leChaf Zechus” that he has already been compliant with Mitzwah of a Tallis Godol for many years already, as per Halocho.
Absolutely! They should also be on Hatzolo. When a woman in labor calls Hatzolo, and they have to assist in a delivery, no man belongs on such a call. & specialty fields of women’s diseases & issues, should most preferentially be dealt with, by a woman Dr.
Having a Hassidic guy assist a woman in a delivery, is worst than an unfiltered computer, to say the least, especially when there are qualified women personnel around.
Do these stores sell straw hats? If not, which stores do sell straw hats?
Likewise you mexipal, if you have nothing intelligent to say, please don’t converse.
justsmile613:- You have 99 days until Yom Kippur, to beg me for Mechiloh, for having declared me an idiot.
Just because you don’t seem to agree with my views & experiences about Baltimore, does not give you license to label me as an idiot.
