There is only 1 universal Jewish language:- HEBREW!!! The blue print of haShem:- Torah heKedsho is written in Hebrew.
Shovuos is memorial day, so I assume that you are talking about a black straw hat.
1st & foremost, Good Riddance Yiddish, and wake up to reality:- English & Ivrit are the only 2 leading langusges in the Jewish world of the 21st century.
The fact that even Artscroll has never come out with Yiddish translations, but only with English & Ivrit translations, says it all & speaks volumes. Even French Russian Spanish are more on the ball in the 21st century.
B’H I have never stooped to the level of facebook nor twitter {& didn’t need a Rabbi to figure this out}, and since I speak English & Ivrit and not Yiddish, there is nothing I can do about it, because these Yiddish speakers could have just as well spoken in chinese.
I invest in a filter on my faucet, so this takes care of my Chiyuvim as well as budget towards filters.
AS HaLeiVi said, Eliyohu haNovi shall appear 1 calendar day before the Moshiach arrives, and this will be the last chance ever, to repent, and not miss the boat.
I refer you to the 2nd last verse in all of Nevi’im and of Shabbos HaGodol Haftoro.
BTW note that in this verse, Elijah is written defective, i.e. minus the “Vov”, and hence that the correct Nussach in Birkas haMozon for HoRachamon Hu Yishlach Lonu Es Eliyoh haNovi is “minus the Vov” being that this prayer is based & formulated on this 2nd to last Possuk in Malochi.
WE don’t count down, because if we began from 49, the high #’s during the early part of the Omer would be too daunting, with too long a wait until Shovu’os.
The Sefas Emes Sidur places “Birkas haMapil” at the commencement to accommodate the possibility that one may drift into sleep before end of the various Piyutim accompanying Kerias Shema Al haMitah.
Will one of the locations recite Tachnun? whilst the other location recite Hallel for Yom Yerusholayim?
You haven’t stated which neighborhood your parents are residing in? and to which neighborhood you are contemplating moving to? so how can anyone be expected to give an informed response?
You don’t mention how far your parents are from a Shul or subway stop, nor how near you wish to be to a Shul.
We also have no knowledge if you are just 18 and graduating out of school? or already in your 30’s? and several years in a job.
Punctuality is goyish (am I doing this right?) Couldn’t be more mistaken. Punctuality is a Jewish as one can get it. Numerous Halochos vitally depend on punctuality, including commencing Shabbos & Yom Kippur in time, and finishing your Amidah in time, be it before 1/3 of the day, or before sunset. So I have to seriously disagree with ItcheSrulik’s assertion.
The 1st & by far the most important & only cure, is to arrive on time. This is especially true by Shacharis, where definition of being on time, is defined as being 5 minutes early, so one is already clad with Tallis & Tefillin, by the time, the Cantor ascends the Omud.
This will save numerous questions & 2nd guessing which opinion to conform to, whether to speed thru davening or skip certain parts to commence Tefiloh b’Tzibur, or to Daven slowly & miss Tefiloh bTzibur.
I simply cannot emphasize strongly enough, how crucial & critical it is, to never arrive late to services, but always be at least 5 minutes early for weekday Schacharis.
Anne Frank Huis is in A’dam.
There is absolutely no place like Eretz Yisroel, if you are seeking a fabulous experience.
Go next week, and spend Yom Yerusholayim & Shovu’os in Yerusholayim in the Jewish Quarter & pray at the Kossel.
Then for the remainder of the summer, when it gets hot, go for 3 days to Tzfas, which cools off nicely in the evenings, even during August.
This week’s Parsha of BeHar in Israel, is the source for giving business to a Jew rather than a Nochri, when not going to hurt oneself financially doing so. This Halocho certainly applies to vacationing in Israel rather than in Switzerland.
Daven on Erev Rosh Chodesh Sivvon [1 day after Yom Yerusholayim] for Siyato d’Shemayo for thy descendents, and leave the rest up to haShem.
After that take a nice long nap, and then relax spending Shovu’os nite up with cheese cake and Simcha & Emunah in haShem.
I assume Unklus [who is a Ger] had Semicha, in light of his wonderful Peirush of “Targum Unklus” which he compiled.
Why do most of us celebrate Shabbos Nachamu? In essence, it Halachically is a regular Shabbos, and if anything during the 9 days, in 70c.e. at least we still had a Bais haMikdosh whereas by 11-16th of Ov of 70c.e. we had no more Bais haMikdosh.
What really gets me, is how people are so quick to offer their seat to a little child, as if s/he is the infirmest person in society. & then the kid spends 1/2 the time standing up, but no-one dares take the seat in case this child decides to reoccupy this seat.
Even parents will stand up for their child to sit.
Have we arrived to the description on last Daf of Sotah of the Generation totally devoid of respect by the young for the old?
AinOhdMilvado:- What an incredibly smart piece of advice. I absolutely concur with you.
Let them go next week, and they can spend Yom Yerusholayim & Shovu’os in Yerusholayim in the Jewish Quarter & pray at the Kossel.
Then for the remainder of the summer, when it gets hot, go for 3 days to Tzfas, which cools off nicely in the evenings, even during August.

I just read on the YWN section, that JetBlue booted off an 18 month old toddler, whom they claim was on a terror watch list.
Clearly, Jet Blue are out of their mind, I shall make my reservations with any airline but Jet Blue.
Spanish & Portuguese Synagogue. Anne Frank Huis. Nightwatch @Rijks Museum. A boat on the canals.
Trip to Marken &/or Volendam, seeing people in old Dutch costume. Make sure to buy a pair of real size clogs. …. I did, and often wear them on Purim, and everyone loves them. Technically they could even be worn on Tisha b’Ov & Yom Kippur bearing in mind that Yom Kippurim is like Purim.
But google search A’dam tourist sites.
Rav Meir Kahane ZTKLLH’H is extremely sorely missed, and his premature murder, and a loss of unbelievable proportion.
mayer522:- How about sending your saga to the “New York Post”. If this is a fault on the part of Jet Blue, New York Post sometimes do open up cases with publication of incidents and then following thru.
pesach must come out two days BEFORE the FOLLOWING rh. ….. Actually 23 weeks & 2 days before R.H.
nitpicker
it will occur twice in row three years from now. … Please let me rephrase this:- It shall come 4 out of 5 years from 2015 thru 2019, like this year. ……. It is such a great Kevi’oh, because:- 1) Entire week from Shabbos haGodol to get ready for Pesach, and an entire week after Pesach [in Chutz lo’Oretz] to get set up for 1st Shabbos after Pesach. 2) Can relax Erev Shovu’os afternoon being a Shabbos before very tiring night up; 3) Tammuz 17 & Tisha b’Ov feel somewhat diffused in severity being Nidche. 4) Don’t have to work Erev R.H. nor Erev Sukkos nor Hoshana Rabba, all being Sundays. 5) Short Tachnun on Taanis Esther Shacharis.
Is this the Possuk in Sefer Zechariah?
Absolutely. “Aviro d’Eretz Yisroel Michkimah”. So go for it!! Don’t miss this 1 in a life opportunity.
Too crowded for me to go there.
I stay away from huge crowds.
until the 15 of iyar (whereupon the man fell:- At which time Moshe Rabbeinu composed the 1st Benediction of Birkas haMozon, on Iyyor 15th,
Shticky Guy:- When the Torah refers to Pesach in conjunction to Nisson, it is exclusively referring to afternoon of Nisson 14th. Thereafter the Torah calls it Chag haMatzos, as indeed we do in our prayers.
Hence albeit we socially refer to the week of Pesach as “Pesach” rather than “Chag haMatzos” it technically is inaccurate. However, by Pesach Sheni, we somehow seem to do it the correct way, referring to the Zeman Shechitas hePesach as “Pesach” as does the Torah in conjunction with “Nisson 14th” being called “Pesach laShem”.
When in A’dam you can stay by the “Doria Hotel”, just off from the Dam. It is not so expensive, and you can get Kosher Breakfast there.
When I was there, it was a last minute booking, and I was told, that due to last minute booking, there wouldn’t be Kosher food until my 2nd morning there, but when I came down the 1st morning, they had come up, with Kosher food.
NIK is website of the Dutch Rabbinate. There is a Kashrus listing there, amongst other things.
yitayningwut is a Tzadekes Gemuroh for having recited her prayers; The more prayers recited, the more Nachas Ruach to the Ribbono Shel Olom.
& if you “more” are her husband, you are a Tzadik Gomur for giving Yita space & time to recite her prayers. Kol haKovod to both of you.
You more_2 are a Tzadik Gomur for having recited thy prayers, and B’H you repeated nothing when you got your tuxedo on, because this would have been a violation of the 3rd of the 10 commandments Chas v’Sholom.
As far as I-Phone, B’H for this technology; At least if you enter a restroom with I-phone in your pocket, no Halachic issues. If enter restroom with conventional Siddur in your pocket, Halachic issues arise.
Because of Tzadikim like you who know how to put this wonderful technology to good use, I am not wasting my time at this anti-computer gathering in Flushing on Yom Yerusholayim. Even more so, because I know couples who met on Frum dating sights & are happily married.
In light of recent episodes in Baltimore & FL, do not call Shomrim. Only call the police. Shomrim have learned the hard way, not to get involved in such episodes for the foreseeable future.
The only diference between Ashkenazim and Sefardim is when all halachos start, for Ashkenazim its on Rosh Chodesh Av While for Sefardim its the week of Tishu B’Av.
This year for 1st time in 14 years we have to grapple as to what defines the week of Tisho b’Ov?
When sitting on the toilet or sitting on the bed as you are getting into it, should one minimize the amount of time he sits there (before Chatzos) or can he sit there longer than necessary?
According to you Shein:- Should the guy doing Hagboho on Tisha b’Ov morning sit with the Sefer torah on the floor? {Just be careful that the open Sefer Torah does not nick the floor as he is sitting onto the floor}
The Goq:- What a smart idea, because they are probably planning track work on the “7” train that weekend, and I’ll be pre-occuppied that day with observances for Yom Yerusholayim, and also busy studying the life & prophecies of Shmuel haNovi in honor of his Yohrzeit.
2scents:- Korban Pesach Sheni is slaughtered on afternoon of Iyyor 14th, and consumed on nite of Iyyor 15th, hence that many people defer the Hanhogo of consuming Matzo on Pesach Sheni from afternoon of 14 to the evening of the 15th.
Sam2:- I am not confusing Yetziv Pisgom with Akdomus. Not to mention, that Yetziv Pisgom is read after the 2nd verse of the Haftoro, not after the 1st verse.
Doesn’t make me feel more Kovadik; This is the absolute last thing I would ever be running after. I meant, Kovadik for the Mitzwa of Shenayim b’Mikro.
Maybe I should have employed the phrase:- Feels more of a Hiddur Mitzwah.
AKDAMUT
On the first day of Shavuot, after the Kohain has been called to the Torah, but before he recites his blessing: The older Minhog which is still retained in many places is to recite Akdomus after the 1st verse of Kerias haTorah, prior to reading of ther 2nd verse.
As far as cheese cake goes, I have unfortunately seen people serve tofuti cheese cake served; This defeats entire purpose of serving dairy dishes, and is just another example of how so many practices have unfortunately become commercialized & cheapened nowadays.
The Chazzon mentioned to me that he shall be flying from Australia to the USA this week, so is 1 day ahead, so he doesn’t know if he can count in the USA with a Berocho? But doesn’t want to jeopardize his Chazzonus job, so what should this Chazzon do?
I bought a Sefer Torah so that I can read my Shenayyim bMikro from a Sefer Torah, which I feel to be more Kovadik, than just reading my Shenyim bMikro from a printed Chumash.
In light of this, I read the entire Parsho in 1 shot, and then do the entire Targum Unklus in 1 shot, because it would be too cumbersome after each Posuk to close my Sefer Torah, and read the Targum Unklus in the Chumash, and to re-open my Sefer Torah.
I also find double Parshoyos to be very cumbersome, and don’t feel I require 3 week breaks, so I have been performing My Shenayim b’Mikro vEchod bTargum based on the Israeli schedule, which is working very nicely. I have followed this procedure numerous times in past years when this set up occurs, be it post Shovu’os or post Pesach.
When I Bensch following consumption of Matzo this evening Iyyor 15th [hopefully with the Korban Pesach if we are Zochim to have the 3rd Bais haMikdosh rebuilt this afternoon], I shall expend special Kavonoh to the 1st Berocho of Birkas haMozom which was composed by Moshe Rabbeinu on Iyyor 15th, the day that “Mon” commenced to fall down, 3324 years ago.
YW Moderator-42 I was all ready to bring this lamb a month ago, but unfortunately the 3rd Bais haMikdosh wasn’t up & running a month ago. IY’H the 3rd Bais haMikdosh shall be up & running by this afternoon already, so that I can finally bring my lamb this afternoon leShem Mitzvas Korban Pesach.
Which of these speakers is/are going to be discussing the all important issues of Yom ha’Atzmaut & Yom Yerusholayim? both which always occur during the Sefiras ho’Omer time of the year.
Airline ticket for a flight to an exciting destination.
Flying LOT airlines earns you Mileage on American Airlines AAdavnatge program, as does flying El Al.
As the Days get longer & warmer, Battery Park City is an excellent venue. Can sit near the Harbor, and watch life sail & pass by, without being charged for physically being there.
Baltimore is one of the most corrupt cities in America, but I won’t even mention some of the atrocities on YWN, as much as I would love to, to save other people from their own possible downfalls in the Maryland quagmire.
But meanwhile, I would recommend that no-one gets involved in any patrol group. Between this case & the other episode in FL, let society find out the hard way, without being a guinea pig on a patrol organization, jeopardizing your own freedom & innocence.
Inspecting my lamb, for the korban Pesach tomorrow afternoon.
