Tonite is 99 nites left to Yom Kippur nite.
Yeshiva University, as its name implies, incorporates both facets, being a Yeshiva & a university.
Father’s day was yesterday, but better late then never, to commence good parenting.
Is this a proper line of reasoning that if you werent in Auschwitz that you have no claim on pain and suffering? what do you think? …….. It is an absolute proper line of thinking, just like someone who has never attended Simchas Bais haShoeiva at the Bais haMikdosh has no idea what Simcha is all about.
Having a Siddur on kindle circumvents the issue of entering a bathroom/restroom with the kindle in your pocket or brief case, and not being to leave it outside unattended.
BTW are the downloads for a kindle Siddur in Nusach Ashkenaz?
Baltimore is a very creepy & seedy & dangerous place, and I assume that you would wish to enjoy a safe & pleasant & exhilarating vacation & trip, and this is certainly what I would wish you, as no-doubt all members of this coffee room would like to wish you.
SUE! & sue in secular court! Not in a Beth Din.
Depending on amount of money, and hassle & aggravation you may be able to endure, consider a small claims court, if only a few thousand dollars.
I have something known as “unleavened bread” which is gluten free, and works just fine.
ONCE, because often my ears become water blocked, so by dunking once, I reduce chances of water blockage in my ears.
The thread is Deuteronomy Chapter 4, verse 15.
By the way, this verse is being read in my Synagogue, in another 48 days, so you are welcome to stop by, to hear this verse, and to become inspired by its timely message & application.
The only thing that shouldn’t be done is to daven Mincha and Ma’ariv both between plag and shkia:- …….. However, if this is going to pause problems, 2 options:-
1) If praying with a Minyan, there are Kulos for “Tartei dSasra” in light of “Tircha dTzibur” which you or/& your local Rabbi may decide to rely upon;
2) There is also an option of calculating daytime seasonal hours, based on:- from daybreak [A.K.A. Alos haShachar] thru nitefall [A.K.A. Tzeis haKochavim] which may cause Plag haMincha to be at a more convenient time, with your busy schedule. BTW in some very Northern countries at the height of winter, this later Plag haMincha could come out after Shkiah, if day is extremely short, and “Bein haShemoshos” is very protracted; Needless to say, in such a situation, one must utilize Plag haMincha based on day from sunrise thru sunset.
They don’t exist; So simply forget about Baltimore, and enjoy a more exciting destination. Baltimore is a miserable place, especially with so many more exciting towns in the North East.
mommamia22:- Shabbos candles as well as Chanukah candles on Friday, can be lit any time from Plag haMincha thru sunset.
Maybe mommamia22 is confusing him/herself, with the Halocho, that Kiddush can be made any time from Plag haMincha until the last 1/2 hour before Nitefall, and of-course any time after nitefall.
People smoke, in order to indulge their Yetzer hoRo to violate the Chiyuv of “v’Nishmartem Me’od l’Nafshoseichem” with each & every puff they smoke.
This is a lot of opportunities to be in violation of an Assei dOrraisso.
Id Florida 2000 didn’t warrant a recall, with only 539 votes difference & all the dimples & shards:- What would ever determine an election recall?
Someone who is seriously looking to get married, and not someone just looking to have fun on dates, but no intention of actually settling down.
I recall a Rav Miller tape where he discusses the subject of a child dying. I was somewhat comforted when he pointed out that the child is compensated with an oylum habo as if he had toiled and lived to be an old and successful yiras shomayim which we believe is our purpose for living in this world to begin with.
Notwithstanding what Rav Avigdor Miller said, he lost a grandchild about 2 months & 9 days before his own passing away, and this was the beginning of his own deterioration health-wise, having to deal with the awful tragedy of a grandson’s passing away.
Meanwhile, takahmamash’s 1st question should have been:- “Sheluchei Mitzwhoh Lo Nizokin”, so how do we explain the violation of this so well known principle, when someone on the way to Shul, the holiest of all Mitzwohs, was killed on the way to performance of such a tremendous Mitzwh?
Csar:- Because at a chasunoh hall your hat may get lost, and if you check in your hat, there may be a long line to retrieve your hat thereafter. At home, it is easy to keep your hat close by. Hence no-one is in any manner whatsoever, infringing Kovod Shabbos.
Furthermoe, in summer, many public places are better air conditioned than are private homes.
Sorry, I disagree. I think it is disrespectful for kids to sit down when there are not enough seats to accommodate kids and adults.
seeallsides:- Until next time you get into a full car in the NYC subway system. People don’t stand up too quickly for anyone on a full train, but the moment a child walks on, there are always several people who will jump out of their seat to offer the child their seat, even if the parents have to stand up, and even if the child spends a substantial part of the ride, standing up and not utilizing his/her seat, but G-d forbid that anyone should even contemplate sitting on that seat & perhaps depriving this child of his/her seat if/when this kid finally decides to sit down.
Once upon a time, the question was:- Are you Shomer[es] Shabbos? & Do you consume Kosher?
Nowadays, these 2 questions have been replaced by:- Are you Shomer[es] Yom ha’Atzma’ut & Yom Yerusholayim? & Do you consume Cholov Akum [or to disguise the question:- Do you consume Entenmann’s, even though Entenmann’s cake utilize powdered milk & not actual milk, and since powdered milk can only be made from cow’s milk, there really is no need for Gezeiro on powdered milk].
When people want to settle, they will settle; This being picky is just the Yetzer HoRo disguising itself with excuses.
Go to a Hashkomo Miyan and come home & eat breakfast at a decent hour, and when you thereafter attend a Kiddush, you won’t arrive there ravenous & famished & out of control with your pushing & shoving.
B’H I possess 2 pairs of Tefillin:- I keep 1 pair at my Synagogue, and the other pair at home. This way I don’t have to carry them every day, nor all day if I go from Shul to work or elsewhere, and yet know if I oversleep the next morning, I have a pair at home.
It also takes off all pressures, when having a pair of Tefillin checked. No rush for crack of dawn the next morning.
This Shahbbos was very hot, and I wore my white straw hat, which is here to stay until Labor day, and even thereafter, if the heat persists thereafter.
Don’t flount any law. It will come to haunt.
This year it shall be difficult to utilize the subtitles or even microphones at the sumptuous Tisha b’Ov celebrations, because we still have to observe Shabbos, even in the midst of Tish b’Ov celebrations.
Then again , Tammuz may commence 1 day earlier after 29 days of Sivon, Al Pi Re’iyoh, considering that all Molados are 1 day early this year, and & then Ov shall commence on Thursday instead of Friday, and Tisha b’Ov shall be on Friday at which time we can use microphones & subtitles. We may just need a short while to make Shabbos preparations & candle lighting before Tisha b’Ov celebrations are over.
I just got off the phone with the OU, and I want to advise everyone of the fact that the OU is simply not a reliable organization.
How dare anyone slam the OU. We couldn’t even fathom what our life would be her in the USA without OU, so we must be grateful for the incredible service with which they are serving our community.
Sam2:- What happened to Dino d’Malchuso Dino?
Any woman denying visitation to a father is in violation of Dino d’Malchuso Dino, as is anyone who physically hits or beats up anyone else.
According to the saintly Rav Wolbe ZRKLLH’H it nowadays is even Ossur to hit a child for Chinuch, so Kal vChomer that it is Ossur to hit an adult over 22 [the oldest age a parent was allowed to hit a child in bygone era].
It is Ossur miDeOrraisso to beat or attack anyone; Furthermore, if they get told that the man is awaiting visitation which has been denied, they will back away from any beating.
It is very hot, so wear a black straw hat until after Labor Day, so that you don’t get any headache from a heavy felt hat on your head in hot & humoid temperatures.
I forgot to mention, that all of Rav Eliyohu Brog’s Shiurim are in English & not in Yiddish.
When Rav Shlomo Brevda IY’H recovers, he gives a Shiur in English on Sunday evenings at 8.30PM somewhere on Ocean Avenue, open to both men & women, with separate seating.
I make my benediction on a Tallis Godol & hence absolve my Tallis Kotton from a Berocho.
This sounds to me like a very simple solution to whether Tzitzis on mesh fabric qualify for a benediction.
Every Jewish male should be wearing a Tallis Godol whilst reciting his morning prayers, so that no-one feels discriminated Chas v’Sholom based on their marital status.
My son fortunately was able to stave off surgery by wearing a back brace for several years, albeit it was very hot to wear in the summer.
He carried a Dr’s note on him, to be absolved from metal detectors etc.
Either way, it translates into a gift.
If you get to the Botanical Gdns in the Bronx, bear in mind, that Wednesdays is gratis. This being said, I would suggest double checking with them, if free Wednesdays, includes July 4th?
Until Nisson 27, 2001, Rav Avigdor Miller ZTKLLH’H was the Godol haDor.
Following that very sad day, Rav Ovadiah Yosef shlita is the Godol haDor. May we be Zochim to his guidance & leadership for decades to come.
lol -95
i.e. What more more_2 is stating is:- Don’t arrive to your date in a dark suit & white shirt & black hat, if you don’t always dress like this, or at least not on the 2nd & 3rd date.
He is the most eloquent speaker around today, & we absolutely need him, and he deserves every ounce & gram of compassion & attention.
Rav Avigdor Miller’s grandson, Rav Eliyohu Brog gives a Shiur every Thursday evening & Shabbos afternoon, with separate seating for men & women. His Shoule is on Ocean Parkway just south of Avenue R.
It is gratis.
I know Rav Hershel Schachter reasonably well, and I knew his esteemed late Father:- hoRav Melech Schachter ZTKLLH’H extremely well, and frequently consulted him on Sha’ailos, so I have the highest accolades & admiration for them, and as nishtdayngesheft correctly asserted, only you zahavasdad had the audacity to even mention such an awful appellation in conjunction with an absolute Godol baTorah.
i do not believe a picture is an accurate representation of how any girl/women looks regardless if the person is photogenic or not.
Very simple solution:- Send in more than 1 picture:- e.g. 1 in your Yom Tov outfit, 1 in Shabbos outfit, 1 in work outfit, and 1 in casual attire. or some combination of this, and possibly 1 B & W picture.
This will give anyone a broader view of the back ground that you blend into.
I was married by a YU Rosh Yeshiva, i.e. a close colleague of both Rav Schachter & Rav Willg, an dhe never even brought up the topic of a prenutial, and there never was a prenuptial, so indeed there is no place for such tripe.
Seek an apartment on Craigslist, or some website for short term rentals.
Prenupts have no place in any circle.
If you Mesader Kidushin insists on it, move onto another Mesader Kiddushin.
It is standard protocol to have 1 paragraph about yourself, and another paragraph about the ideal mate you are seeking.
If composing such paragraphs are hard [& yes, it is,] then take a look at some of the paragraphs that other people have written up, and adapt them to your needs & wishes.
In addition to these 2 paragraphs that your Dad is advocating you to compose, you also need a photograph:- A picture is worth 1000 words. There is absolutely no way around this one. I am sure your Dad will concur, and he simply forgot to mention the picture to you, or he just understood a picture to be so basic, that it never crossed his mind, that you wouldn’t automatically insert a picture.
BTW after you have composed a paragraph, they can be redacted, if you find, that based on your 2 paragraphs, you are not meeting the type of guy you would rather be meeting. & a picture can also be changed, if you after a while feel you come across better, with different garb.
I have been down this road, recently, whereas your Dad has probably not been down this road in over 2 decades, so my advice is sound & up to date.
WolfishMusings:- I don’t comprehend how this was your 1st time in 4 years rather than in 14 years? that you were up overnite, since last time that Shovu’os came out with Yaknehaz, was 14 years ago.
Being up overnite is lofty, and having studied Chaye Odom Hilchos Shabbos was effectively studying the 4th commandment which is leined on Shvu’os, so this is great.
But as an aside, the only Mitzwah [nowadys without Shtei haLechem nor Bikurim] prescribed by the Torah for Shovu’os other than no Meleches Avodo & Mikro Kodesh, is “vSomachto Lifne etc.” as leined on 2nd morning of Shovu’os, hence Simchas Yom Tov overrides Shovu’os nite up, if these are going to end up being 2 mutually exclusive events.
Maybe some cheesecake will solve this dilemma in future years?
In addition to procuring furniture on a website, I know frum people who obtained their wife on an internet, and are very happily married.
I also know someone who fulfilled the 613th Mitzwah of the Torah over a website on e-bay, procuring a Sepher Torah on e-bay which after purchase, was found out to be most Kosher.
Go on a website, but problem is, if you understand too much Yiddish, you probably have already blocked out those sites with a filter.
cherrybim:- It is a much bigger Mitzwah for men to go to this parade with their wife & family, than having to leave their poor wife all alone at home during the Asifah.
It was great, and haShem held off the rain until after the wonderful parade.
nishtdayngesheft:- My thread said, burying someone at a cemetery:- made no mention of burying someone at a Shul. Our Rabbi won’t allow anyone to be buried in the crypt of our Shul, because he wants our Shul to be accessible to Kohanim for Birkas Kohanim, so that our congregants can be showered with Bendictions.
By the way, Gemoros have a way of going off at much bigger tangents than my thread did. The thread effectively was about disturbances caused by cellphones, and did not deviate 1 iota from this serious problem in the Jewish community.
