December 27, 2010 5:51 am at 5:51 am in reply to: What are key qualities to look for in a shidduch? #7220032qwertyParticipant
I like this article…
2qwertyParticipantBereishis 6:3, also see Ibn Ezra there.
I was also present by a birthday party of someone just over 100 and I also thought how it may sound strange to wish him until 120.
2qwertyParticipantWould you rather be disgusted by your patients physical problems or mental?
For some reason people dont consider the actual job only how it sounds.
December 13, 2010 12:59 am at 12:59 am in reply to: Maybe I Should Compensate The Store Owner…? #7271052qwertyParticipantIn such cases the easiest way for you to get to the truth is to discuss it with the owner.
2qwertyParticipantEmail and battery are about the same the only big difference is typing.
Some may think that bb physical buttons are easier but once you get used to typing on the screen it will even out.
December 12, 2010 3:37 am at 3:37 am in reply to: Crohn's Disease & the SCD diet – What has helped? #8252612qwertyParticipantWell there is no single cure because every Crohns person has different symptoms. I think its important to treat each problem separately and not get stuck on typical cures.
Instead of flagyl you can try xyfaxan.
Instead of remicade you can try humira.
Instead of scd you can try to figure out which specific foods give you the most problems.
Also, with Crohns its very important to drink lots of liquids but try different ones because some drinks may do more harm than good.
December 9, 2010 3:46 am at 3:46 am in reply to: Charity — What's More Important? The Act or the Amount? #7157992qwertyParticipantDont you get mail requests from different organizations? I think you should keep automatic payment for a certain amount but leave some money for other (not your typical) charities which you would pay manually.
2qwertyParticipantYou can google baking soda to see many uses for it. I personally use it mostly for polishing silver.
2qwertyParticipantIve been told not to work with friends/family well I did both at different times and had only good experiences with it. It depends on personalities and ability to take things lightly not to stress over every problem. Based on what you’ve mentioned I would say definitely go for it.
2qwertyParticipantIn Brooklyn you should try Natural Village Cafe
2qwertyParticipantMichaelB,
I completely agree with you. And it reminds me of the following story…
A student of Rabbi Yisroel Salanter once approached him with the following dilemma. “I’ve been a shochet (ritual slaughterer) for many years. As I grow older, I become more concerned about my responsibilities. The fear of causing others to eat non-kosher meat is overwhelming. I would like to stop slaughtering and go into business instead!” Rabbi Yisroel Salanter asked him, “Are you an expert in the laws of slaughtering?” “Of course, Rebbe, I have studied the laws of shechita for many years!” Rabbi Yisroel Salanter then asked, “Are you expert in the laws of business?” The student laughed, “Of course not, very few people learn Choshen Mishpat (the section in the Shulchan Oruch [The Code of Jewish Law] that discusses business law)!” Said Rabbi Yisroel Salanter, “You are not making any sense – If you are prepared to stop slaughtering because of your fear of sinning, even though you are an expert in the laws, how much more so should you fear sinning in business, in which you have no expertise in its halachos!”
2qwertyParticipantBukharians are mostly Jewish.
2qwertyParticipantPlenty of people in other countries are willing to work for less because their cost of living is lower doesnt mean that they are any less capable.
2qwertyParticipantIve heard a radio commercial from verizon offering this but you have to be realistic if you want something good you should pay for it. There are plenty of freelancers who would work for $3-$4/ hour.
2qwertyParticipantThey are all pretty much the same but non of them is high end even if they charge higher.
2qwertyParticipantYou would need 85 muslims to win for every one win from an orthodox jew. And Im pretty sure there is at least one orthodox jew on that list.
However I agree that such comparisons are childish.
2qwertyParticipantDidnt essex move to ave M and e 19?
November 19, 2010 3:52 pm at 3:52 pm in reply to: It May Be Early But Im Hungry For A Doughnut #7116132qwertyParticipantSchreiber’s empty donuts – there are here already!
October 19, 2010 6:59 pm at 6:59 pm in reply to: Spooky: FDA says no right to choose what you eat? #7024892qwertyParticipantI dont mind them banning the sale of raw milk because we can still drink it if we wanted to by getting a cow.
What bothers me about FDA is that they will never review any natural cures (vitamins, herbs…etc) so are they really operating in our best interest? Or do they only care about the lobbyists from drug companies who pay them off?
2qwertyParticipantIf you believe that parnasa comes from Hashem then whats the purpose to lie?
With a lie you might get a higher salary but if you werent supposed to get it Hashem will probably make you lose it in some way. Why would you want to go through that headache?
October 6, 2010 2:38 pm at 2:38 pm in reply to: What does this mean, its a quote from the Kotzker. #6993612qwertyParticipantWIY,
I was referring to:
“This is the way of Torah: Eat bread with salt, drink water in measure, sleep on the ground, live a life of deprivation – but toil in the Torah!…” (Avos 6, 4)
October 6, 2010 1:56 am at 1:56 am in reply to: What does this mean, its a quote from the Kotzker. #6993552qwertyParticipantWIY,
I dont agree with your second part about mixing Ruchniyus and Gashmiyus.
To aquire great Torah knowledge you need to give up Gashmiyus but otherwise its fine to mix those two together.
Its our goal to bring Ruchniyus into our every day lives to uplift our Gashmiyus.
2qwertyParticipantThere are rich people around who could do this but somehow i never heard of it being done.
2qwertyParticipantFrom HAKHEL G’mach List:
Keren Malbushei Kavod:
Chasunah clothing collected
and sold for a nominal charge.
Call: 718-438-3910 or 718-438-0886
Clothing Pick-Up:

house & sent to the Ukraine.
Call David: 718-438-1570

Call: 718-252-0054
Young Israel of Brighton Beach:

2qwertyParticipantI hear that in Kiev, Ukraine it usually goes for around 250k US dollars. (dont know about this year)
2qwertyParticipantHow do we know that Avrom Avinu wore a hat and jacket wherever he went?
Well, it says: Veilech Avrom…
And do you think Avrom Avinu would go anywhere without his hat and jacket?
2qwertyParticipantI would like a way to go directly to the last post of any thread. Here are my suggestions how it can be implemented:
Next to a thread name have a little symbol and by clicking it you’ll go directly to the last post.
Or by clicking on the number of posts which are already written after the thread name.
Or let each user set up his preference (also go to first or always go to last post)
And the last way is the most simple but least effective way is once the person entered a thread he’ll see a link to click so he can go directly to the last post whether its on this page or not.
2qwertyParticipantCan you please explain why its not an issue?
2qwertyParticipantWould cooking with unfiltered water that might contain copepods treif up our pots?
2qwertyParticipantRice is very good because it is cooked in water and it absorbes it so it helps you get hydrated also.
No junk food, no spicy foods, and try to avoid fatty food and fried things because body uses up water to digest those.
2qwertyParticipantDont soda and juice manufacturer use tap water? Did anyone check it for copepods?
2qwertyParticipantYou are asking whats permitted but your friends focus is money. So you have to decide whats more important for you.
2qwertyParticipantThis thread started with someone saying that its difficult to pay tuition.
And Moq was the first person to mention about giving money and in his post he mentions:
“Poor OP is in pain; not a question of fair. Question of HELP. “????? ?????? ?? ???? ???? ?? ???’.”
So my assumption was that we are giving money to help OP to pay her tuition.
(i still didnt send my check because i ran out of checks but im considering sending cash by mail to make sure i take care of it before R”H)
2qwertyParticipantSushi Room (ave P and e 4th) they claim to have over 50 dressings i just go for standard stuff.
nysushiroom.com
2qwertyParticipantMoq, should we just send it in or should we somehow note it to go towards the original posters tuition?
2qwertyParticipantMoq,
I noticed that you wanted 4 people to match you but so far only 2 others came forward, thank you: “Why Do I Even Bother” and “BP Totty”.
I dont want this thread to be wasted so i’ll match funds for 2 other people. ($200)
2qwertyParticipantWell, you can buy “Mishna Berurah for Windows” and you can copy and paste from there. Otherwise, there is no free version of this text online.
2qwertyParticipantMany of us have fallen to the political fight in this issue.
1) Why do we call it ground zero?
Its not at ground zero its 2 huge blocks away so that shouldnt be the problem.
2)Also, why is the question to build or not to build when there is already a fully functional mosque there?
My problem with this whole project is this weird imam and his ties with terrorists. He should be investigated with the money and then im sure the project will be canceled.
2qwertyParticipantHebrewBooks.org you can download a pdf and then copy/paste from there.
2qwertyParticipantWell each 30 year old participant had a chance to play the game a few times but still managed to lose and its possible that some of those loses were for narishkite reasons like heel getting stuck and so on.
Some people are very stubborn with their demands and I say: you can either be stubborn or married.
I dont mean to offend anyone and I know that not everyone got a fair opportunity im just talking about those that did.
2qwertyParticipantBP Totty “you realze this means 2 mother-in-laws!”
Yes that will insure that the guy actually sits in kollel the whole day.
2qwertyParticipantThe 2 wives idea might be a good idea to insure that each family has 2 incomes. 🙂
On a serious note… i think people shouldn’t be affraid of a shidduch where the girl is older than the guy. And the only way to get rid of this stupid concept is to start teaching our kids that it’s ok if mommy is older than tatty.
2qwertyParticipantSometimes just reading the words of a prayer may not be enough. Hashem wants us to change through our prayers and segulos help us with it. Whichever way it happens but once we change then the decrees against us may change. When you go to a kever of a tzadik to pray somehow your kavonos may be a bit stronger. Because by doing something extra (something you dont usually do) you feel like your prayers will be more likely heard and answered so you concentrate on them better.
So i think segulos are needed for some of us to fool ourselves into praying with more attention. And once we do that enough times im sure we will change and our mazal will change with us.
(I think people can make up their own segulos as long as it leads you to pray better and to grow spiritually then it should work. However, it is obviously better to follow our tradition and only use the segulos that were passed over to us.)
2qwertyParticipantMax well
How do you define “mixed swimming/bathing”?
Can 2 guys swim together?
How about a father and a daughter?
Then why not husband and a wife?
2qwertyParticipantIts a good solution for parents who are lazy, impatient and dont know how to talk to kids.
2qwertyParticipantRespect needs to be earned its not enough to just be a nebach OTD kid to get my respect.
Can a nebach OTD earn my respect? Sure, with actions that I would be proud of!
2qwertyParticipantMishna in Pirkey Avos 2::2 basically says that a person should learn and work together. Explanation brought by artscroll mentions that a person who only learns without working will come to do an avera. For example money from support will not be enough and then he’ll be desperate to find a job that pays enough to cover all the bills and will be forced to steal (or work dishonestly).
Generally, I think not enough people are learning halachas of business before going into the business world and then fall into temptations.
2qwertyParticipantThose services usually start from $500. I had the same problem and was able to fix it with software. Here is a copy of a free software that might be able to help you:
If this doesnt work there is a more serious software around $30 that does a much better job. (i’ll try to find the name of it if you need it)
2qwertyParticipantWhats DISHONEST about it is asking people to vote for YOUR picture. I understand someone asking us to vote for whoever we think is the most deserving of the prize but otherwise you are asking us to lie. midvar sheker tirchak! (stay away from a lie)
Before anyone tries to argue with me i’ll say this… I’m a programmer and i can easily send hundreds of fake votes to any contestant. Do you think i should do that? And do you think sending 1 vote from 100 fake people isnt the same thing?
2qwertyParticipantFrom the times that i know… I was specifically rejected for my health issue after i spoke about on 3rd date and another time on 9th date. However, it worked fine on the 5th date and i got married. Dont worry about it and with the right one it just works. Just make sure to mention…
1)How it affects you right now/future
2)And let the person know that you are ready to discuss it and answer any follow up questions.
