By Purim we follow the wonderful rule of:- “When in Rome, do as the Romans”.
Too bad this doesn’t work by Yom Tov Sheni.
If we were truly to literally follow Minhag Avoseinu beYodeinu:- bear in mind that a tourist at the Beis haMikddosh would have kept 1 day Yom Tov, since he would know exact day of Yom Tov, so a tourist today logically should be doing what our ancestral tourists would have done.
The only Sefeiko d’Yoma that shall continue is:- 1) Someone dying during Adar:- Shal Yahrzeit be in Adar 1 or in Adar 2? 2) Someone dying on 30th of month, and when goes Al Pi Re’Iyo:- Shall Johrzeit be on 29th or 1st when no 30th? 1) What to do with Yahrzeit’s on the 1st, when don’t if that day is going to end up being 1st or 30th? 4) Anyone between 90 degrees East of Yerusholayim and 180 degrees from Yerusholayim, not knowing whether in Halachic Far East or in Halachic Far West?
This Monday night ??? ????? starts saying ??? ?? ???? ?????.
& B’H some rain came down tonite in Israel.
Let France do the dirty work of policing the Har haBayis:-
1) No Issur for French Goyim to be on Har haBayis, unlike for Israeli Jewish soldier, where it is an Issur deOrraisso as per Parshas Poro, to ascend Har haBayis when Tomei. [Apart form being a Goy and not bound by Torah law, a Goy also cannot by definition be Tomei].
2) Better have a French soldier risk their life than a Israeli Jewish Soldier.
3) The Arabs will be less antagonized by a French heathen soldier, than by an Israeli Jewish Soldier.
4) The world shall very quickly see, that even French Goyish soldiers are having an excruciatingly hard time maintaining the peace on the Har haBayis, and Israeli soldiers having to shoot Arabs, is not of our making, but is of the Arabs’ making, as the Franco’s shall also shoot Arabs for their own protection.
Avi Gordon:- Indeed I am IY’H going to go to Israel for 4 days as per your smart advice, and one liner is simply wrong; Maybe 4 days isn’t long, but if every Israel supporter would go for 4 days, or even just for 2 days like de Blasio, it all adds up & makes a wonderful dent in supporting Israel.
seat you right between his NK friend. No thanks to offer of a seat in Gehinnom
So please let me get this straight once & for all DikDukDuck:- Are you saying tat the ones at 5th Avenue Menorah lighting protesting, and the ones at Israeli Day Parade counter protesting, are not Naturei Karta?
I go thru my own Shabbos project every week, 1st having to project my untimely early departure from work, and then having to prepare food upfront, and then after Shabbos having to tidy up from Shabbos.
Even at busy junctures in time, as this past month with a Chag each Monday, my own Shabbos project doesn’t take a break.
Not even for the busiest of all days:- i.e. Erev Pesach [2021, 2025].
Indeed. I’m in the middle of aveilus now, but I make a policy that if anyone else wants to daven, I let them. Bear in mind:
1) A Yahrzeit has Kedimo over an Oveil during his 11 months
2) Whereas one can go to great stride for 1 day, it is almost impossible to go to such strides for an entire 11 months, day in day out.
3) Statistically, there are far more days spent as an Oveil, than as a Yahrzeit, because on average one goes thru 30 Yahrzeits per parent, assuming average age difference between parent & child to be 30 years, where the 11 months is approximately 324 days.
One Liner:- Is this headline posted by Naturei Karta?
The Jekkish practice in marCheshvon is to observe BeHaB the last 2 Mondays in MarCheshvon with the intervening Thursday, so “the plumber” what I said was correct.
1) Because as days get shorter, it makes fasting a shorter amount of time.
2) The Mabul commenced marCheshvon 17th, and observing last 2 Mondays in marCheshvon, makes marCheshvon 17th, the earliest possible date that Sheni Kamo can come out on.
3) It simulates Mishna in Taanis when 1st Taanis in case rain did not fall was be marCheshvon 17th.
One Liner:- “Lema’an Zion Lo Eshkot” a Possuk from last of 7 Haftoros of comfort:- I doubt a politician would have heard of this Posuk. I am an Oheiv Yisro’el.
BeHaB is not for another 2 weeks:- 2 & 3 weeks from this Monday & 2 weeks from this coming Thursday.
Zionism: the root problem Such a theme exactly 1/2 year to the very day from Yom ha’Atazmaut is too outrageous to remain silent and not condemn. Today Medinat Yisrael is exactly 6&3/4 decades to the very day.
I shall IY’H be flying to Israel later this month to show my solidarity to Israel in this time of outrageous Arab violence, and shall be staying across the road from where this shocking attack in Geuloh was perpetrated this past Tuesday.
Wow:- This Friday is already 2nd Johrzeit.
What’s the heter to interrupt, mock, talk or fool around in midst of the Tefila during Chazoras Hashatz on Simchas Torah? Go to Israel & respond to this questionnaire vis a vis Jizkor & Tefilas Geshem:- Now this is some serious soul searching to deal with.
What about Nusach Sefard So absolutely not a viable option:- How could anyone concentrate & give due diligence to silent Mussoph Amida? having to make sure to be up to place for Tekias Shofor.
scared driver delight:- I bring to your attention, that the Amidah which you probably refer to as “Shemoneh Esrei” used to have 18 Benedictions, and despite addition of a 19th Benediction A.K.A. veLaMalshinim, still is known as Shemonei Esrei.
Ovinu Malkeinu used to have 37 stanzas, and more got added over the years.
I also refer you to Siddur Avodas Yisroel, as well as the Sefas Emes Sidur as well as Rodelheim Machor, whose Nusach still has 37 stanzas, which continues to be the Nussach recited @Yekkish Minyonim following Western European Nussach..
they only keep 1 day Different Rabbonim over the years have told me to keep 1&1/2 days.
Can seats be reserved on such short notice? Being Vassikin:- What time do services terminate at?
Just em:- Tell your partner that “Ovinu Malkeinu” has 37 lines/stanzas, because Yitchok Ovinu was 37 years old at time of the Akeido.
Happy BUMP day 9/10 I am bumping off all my Shabbos Nitzovim preparations today, because tomorrow 9/11 I shall be spending the entire day @Ground Zero, reliving memories from 14 years ago.
b) places to avoid All Arab neighborhoods & enclaves.
c) Places MUST SEE Kossel & Tzefas
In previous generations, Only one person would say Kaddish in the entire shul. That all mourners say Kaddish is a very recent innovention what zahavasdad said, is the only response addressing your legitimate concerns wolfish musing; Hence:- How about attending a Minyan, where only 1 person recites any given Kaddish as per original Takono. Some Shuls, such as Breuer’s, still rigorously adhere to this practice, so this would be a wonderful venue for your wolfish musing, to see out your remaining 5 months.
when one of my classmates mentioned that she was so scared for Rosh Hashana If your classmate is so scared [as we all should be] will she be unable to partake of festive Yom Tov Seudos? and be fasting all day R’H?
14 years ago, we all were petrified, tonite being 14th Johrzeit of the World Trade Center O’H; What trepidation we experienced on that R’H 5662 [2001]. As we recited “Mo bo’Eish” on that R’H 14 years ago, we just couldn’t bring ourselves to utter these painful words.
In the same vein, no one should even contemplate driving to Shul next week on R’H to hear Tekias Shofor. … If not driving to Shul means that unfortunately thy shall be unable to hear Tekias Shofor, then so be it.
Can I send in a note wishing “Yom ha’Atzmaut Sameach”?
Now that Tisha b’Ov is behind us, I shall commence listening to R’H Y’K CR ROMs, so that I come to Shul on R’H morning in 7 weeks time, more prepared & inspired with the Nussach haTefilloh, and can follow more studiously & copiously.
With only 7 weeks remaining until R’H I am sure Israeli farmers are taking the opportunity to count the seconds until they can get back to work on their fields, whilst the rest of us are already commencing to prepare ourselves towards Yom haDin.
ow silly of me. sushibagel to even entertain the madness of smoking and wasting your health & money.
I refer you sushibagel to this very week’s Parsha:- “veNishmartem Me’od leNafshoseichem”:- Hence each & every single puff inhaled 365 days a earlier is being a new “Mevatel Mitzva Asseh” of preserving your health, based on this Possuk in this week’s Parsha.
9 days is a short time compared to going an entire Sheloshim without a shower
FYI Sam2, AnnonymouscMember is so correct & on the ball. When I was young, everyone waited until after Tisha b’Ov to vacation, as the 3 weeks are time for introspection of our national loss/lack of Bais-haMikdosh.
Albeit technically there maybe nothing wrong in traveling & taking a vacation, it certainly doesn’t exhibit any atmosphere of truly feeling despondent over our lack/loss of Bais-haMikdosh.
Despite the numerous details of Halocho pertaining the 3 weeks, the bottom line is:- Are we feeling our loss? as is AnnonymouscMember.
Best Tuna Soup recipe set my clock for daybreak this Monday and consume chicken soup.
We would be standing in Shul crying “V’l’Yerushalyim Ircha B’rachamim Tasshuv”! Annonymouschochom:- Indeed this is what happens @Yekkish Shuls, where this Berocho is intoned In Tisha b’Ov Nigun for an entire 3 weeks, each day, as well as various Pesukim which make reference to Yerusholayim.
But I love in America, so do I lesschumras, but in order to comply with Halacha, I am currently spending the 9 days in Melbourne where it right now is 46F, and this Sunday Assoro b’Ov it is only going up to 51F. Thereby I am able to comply with Halachic restrictions on washing in 9 days, without causing any disturbance to anyone, not even in the Melbournd Metro.
I would like to visit him to fulfill Mitzwah of “Bikur Cholim” & add an act of “Ahavas Chinom” during these tragic “9 days”.
In which ward is he in? & what are visiting hours?
MDG is correct, but get an experienced Frum attorney to draw it up for you, and don’t even contemplate trying to do this yourself.
WoW:- We are already on Sepher Devorim!!! So where did the year go? I am not talking about Israeli farmers who simply cannot wait for another 57 days to get back to work in 5776; But where did an entire year go for the rest of us?
We are already in “Ov”- accronym of “Ellul Bo”. Just 4 weeks left until Tekias Shfor & Psalm 27, and already on Sepher Devorim thru to Simchas Toroh.
can one use say a fleishig bbq and cook pareve sausages since parev sausages would be made with soya, and I am allergic to soya, every bite I would take of this concoction, would be a new violation of “vNishmartem Me’od leNafshoseichem” an edict from next week’s Parsha of voEschanan
Could someone let me know if “Machzir Gerushoso” is permitted during the 3 weeks? because the wedding halls may be far cheaper when there is a very low demand for them.
Basya:- However after Y’K and Tisha b’Ov on a Sunday & Assoro b’Teves on a Friday, how do you 1st drink water?
Because this prayer was composed exclusively for “Asseres Yemei Teshuva”. …. Phrases like “Boreich Oleinu Shono Tovo” and the “5 Kosveinu’s” are clear obvious giveaways, that this prayer is only pertanent to Asseres Yemei Teshuva.
Needless, to say, Jekkes also don’t recite Ovinu Malkeinu on a Ta’anis except of-course on Tzom Gedaliah & Y’K which are during the Asseres Yemei Teshuva.
Are you goofus already preparing yourself for Chamishi thru Shevi’i of this week’s Parsha of Pinchos?
Go to the Southern hemisphere and save money on air-conditioning bills.
Rav Pam, Rav Miller, and Rav Schwab encouraged hanging the American flag on July 4th. like Rabbi Yosef Kahaneman Z’L encouraged hanging the Israeli flag over Ponovitch Yeshiva on Yom ha’Atzmaut, which B’H they continue to do until this very day.
