@nishtdayngesheft 100% a typo
@mods can you please remove the ‘in’64bitsomethingParticipant@nishtdayngesheft 100% a typo sorry
@mods can you edit64bitsomethingParticipantIn general, a shul whos purpose is mainly to churn out many minyanim with several room.
The type of place where you just KNOW there will be a minyan, versus your local shul that probably has 1 7:00 shacris. Or maybe has even 3 shacrisim and only 1 room.Not all are equal to be clear.
The classic original infamous ‘shomer shabbos’ in Boro Park has Shacris Mincha Maariv all overlapping with each other thoughout the day.
Then you have Landau’s where you wont have overlapping, but odds are if you show up at a normal time for that Tefillah, you’ll have a minyan starting within the next few minutes.
Then you might have the ‘Minyan Factory Juniors’ that churn out Shacrisim, but only have a few Mincha Maarivs.64bitsomethingParticipantSo dont use them.
Maybe they have a hard time sitting on the floor and need some support, so at least like this theyre not sitting on a regular chair.
Halacha is halacha, ‘spirit’ halacha is between them and Hashem.And I think you are vastly overestimating how comfortable they are. More then the floor or a crate? Definitely. But I’d still prefer a normal chair.
64bitsomethingParticipantThis is not a new scam although people should be aware. Dansdeals has been saying this for years.
64bitsomethingParticipantnomorobo.com helps with some.

And as much as we I got paid more, sleep-away camps pay even less because they cheshban you’re getting room/board also.
64bitsomethingParticipantCarmen Sandiego!
64bitsomethingParticipantThe two most practical solutions:
1) Turn your phone off
2) Settings > Voice > “Ok Google” Detection > From LOCK screen OFF
But if you do want to leave it on, then I think its what you would hold for an automatic light on the front of your neighbor’s house – you might cause it but you have no intention of it and are not trying to make the object do anything.
We had a situation with an automatic door to get to the Succah in a Nursing Home. They would lock the door on ‘open’ but the sensor was still on and clicked when we walked through. Now we get the power to it turned off beforehand, but according to some its still OK if it hadn’t been turned off (obviously turned off is better) and according to others its not.
So, like most Halachos of this nature its a Machlokes and I agree that you should speak to your local orthodox Rabbi.

64bitsomethingParticipantYou can buy a radio transmitter or a tape adapter – both can connect to any mp3 players headphone jack. Staples probably has both for under $20. The tape adapter is more reliable, radio transmitter can be hard to use depending on where you live. But you can just pop the tape into your car, the wire still sticks out – plug that into your ipod/zune/sansa/etc and hit play.

64bitsomethingParticipantAs nice as I would like to imagine it’s true, there has been no actual proof from any news source. The farthest I (or any news source) has been able to trace the story is from a Facebook post which obviously is not conclusive.
Other news sources have published that they have doubts if it’s true, The Jewish Press is the only one that says “We are trying to confirm it one way or the other.” Given the timeline for this story, I don’t have high hopes of it being true.
64bitsomethingParticipantHang on…
It’s been (almost) 24 hours and HE STILL HASN’T RESPONDED?!

64bitsomethingParticipantHere is the full math:
This is the given info, with Cork as C, and bottle as B:
C+B=4.10
B=C+4.00
So since we know what B is, we insert it into the first equation:
C+C+4=4.10
Combine the C:
2C+4=4.10
Subtract 4 from both sides:
2C=.10
Divide by 2 on both sides:
C=.05
I also thought .10 — until you really take it in that it says the bottle is 4.00 more than the cork, not actually 4.00
64bitsomethingParticipantMan, you guys are going to make me fat with all the popcorn I’m going through…

64bitsomethingParticipantIt’s a kid song and it has to rhyme, so that gets them some slack.
But yes, it can make sense–you’re a miracle, you’re not pretending to be a great person, you don’t have to (CHV”S) forget the Torah to be great, you are a miracle already. No need to fake anything.
Could it be better? Probably. But like I’ve said before, it’s catchy as shnitzel so….
64bitsomethingParticipantI will confess, I first though it was “you’re a miracle, not eyihu hanavi”
The lyrics might not have been that clear limaskana, but come on, its extremely catch
64bitsomethingParticipantIt’s only a single…you can find on iTunes and the music video on YouTube
64bitsomethingParticipantIf I were to take a guess, it’s because of how the system works:
Bottle are preprinted with a serial number, aka your ID — that same ID is on the card you get. They can’t preprint a bunch of social security numbers.
It’s a backup plan. The guy even said you can use any numbers you want, as they cross-reference it with your birthday.
64bitsomethingParticipantThey were very clear with Dor Yeshorim: The whole purpose of giving your SSN is in case you lose the ID number. Seems pretty logical to me that the SSN can be used in its stead.
If you want to be retested, then just look at your local yeshivas. Most Beis Midrashim do Dor Yesharim every other year. Ask around. (Yeshivas are cheaper, about $150 if I remember correctly)
64bitsomethingParticipantnot a wannabe
Here is the full lyrics:
Many many years, it was long ago
his majesty let the jews all know
no more spirit, and no more pride
King Antiochus is “on your side”
Leave, leave, leave it alone
all your dreams of a G-dly home
fantasize ’bout the real good stuff
forget the torah-it is all bluff (but they will say)
Chorus
M-I-R-A-C-L-E
you’re a miracle-not a wannabe
your little light, will burn so bright
and shine away the darkness of this night….Hey
M-I-R-A-C-L-E
you’re a miracle-not a wannabe
your little light, will burn so bright
and shine away the darkness of this night….Oh
Bridge
M-I-R-A-C-L-E miracle
o h M-I-
R-A-C-L-E you’re a miracle
Verse II
Greek lore, they are no more
Maccabee’s miracles won the war
few beat the many, the eight “night lights”
the great miracles came from “his” heights
Try, try, try as they may
there will come a day when they all will say
Jew you were right to put up a fight
and now we see your miracle’s might (and they will say)
Back To Chorus
Interlude
You’re an M-I-R-A-C-L-E
You’re an M-I-R-A-C-L-E
You’re an M-I-R-A-C-L-E…..
You’re an M-I-R-A-C-L-E
You’re an M-I-R-A-C-L-E
You’re an M-I-R-A-C-L-E…..
Verse III
Good of you to be a proud jew
in your darkest times your light shone through
you’re a miracle and you inspire
your small candle light is hot on fire
Look, look, with a lovin’ eye,
just lift a broken heart to the sky
your greatest miracle, it can be found
inside of you, so pass it around (and now they say)
Back To Chorus
Rap….Back To Chorus
64bitsomethingParticipantWhile selling online is not my parnassah, it is a secondary source of income for me. I wasn’t merely ‘curious’.
And I did include ebay/amazon thinking as you did in the beginning that it would go by when you get paid. Here is my original submission:
Is selling online over Shabbos and Yom Tov allowed? I will try to
outline the differences:
The case starts obviously with you selling something online via eBay or Amazon (or your own store). However a difference (possibly — thats why I am asking) could be when you get paid. By Amazon you get paid much later (generally a week or 2) and by an eBay auction you generally get paid when the auction ends and you have control over that. But from your own store or eBay “Buy it Now” it is possible for someone to buy it and pay you on Shabbos. A big store like B&H maybe the credit cards aren’t processed on Shabbos but in these cases, PayPal or Amazon don’t care…. So how far is this ???? or ?????
64bitsomethingParticipantHow about “Computers. Screens. Anything in between.”
64bitsomethingParticipant…make a neder.
64bitsomethingParticipantThis has always been a big question to me. My local Orthodox Rabbi (he is learned in Shulchan Aruch, a known Rabbi) told me that he doesn’t see any problem with it, obviously as long as you don’t take any action on Shabbos.
However, I did send a message to Business Halacha and I quote the response, directly from HaRav Chaim Kohn Shlita:
“In my opinion, the relevant factor is not if you are paid immediately but that you permit activating your obligation to deliver. With it, you participate creating the kinyan hischayvus. Therefore, it is necessary that your website isn’t actively processing the requests on Shabbos.
KT Chaim Kohn”
