Accounting.
I admit my bowling form is far perfect, but in simulating MY bowling form I’m coming up with very little bending, except at the elbow. Could it be thats why I hardly ever break 75? 🙂
200 hours OT a YEAR? I have a cousin who is trying to keep up with his colleagues who are putting in 80 hour WEEKS.
I’m not an avid bowler, but from what I remember, it is quite difficult to bowl bent over at the waist.
“from wear women wear untznius cloths”
Someone cut more than a few English classes.
“Coming home late from work”
“Coming home late” is a relative term.
Its good to see Mosherose is back. I was starting to worry about him (her?).
Dont knock Idaho and Washington. They grow more than 50% of the potatoes, so very necessary for our kugels and chulents.
“Last time I checked, dieters shouldn’t be going to restaurants.”
Ever hear of Jared? 🙂
On a serious note, MANY restaurants claim to have “low fat” or “dieters” menus.
Glasses with anti glare coating (in my experience, about 9 months later the lenses need to be redipped). For sunglare, sunglasses.
How many of those parents did you tell this to? I guess venting is therepeautic, but usually not productive.
“borchei avinu kulanu BYACHAD”
I have never seen this nusach. Nusach ashkenaz says “kulanu kiechad b’or…”, I saw a siddur eidat mizrach with the nusach “kulanu kiechad yachad b’or…”
Food is excellent. So far, I havent found anything on the menu that supports my latest attempt to lose weight.
Vinishmartem you can read what you want to into what I wrote to further your agenda of banning everything and looking for the worst in in everyone. Just dont attribute it to me.
Why do some people hinge the ahavas yisroel and hakaras hatov of others on a single mi shebeirach, recited once a week?
Apushatayid: How about volunteering to help a neighbor, say, with twins? Or baking or making something cool to put a smile on an elderly neighbors face?
That’s a nice idea. Put yourself in the shoes of a 7th grade girl. Is that how you want to spend ALL your free time? Get real.
Any chayallim/chayalot reading this thread? I wonder if they are just beaming with nachas or wondering if it is worth putting their tuchas on the line every day for this pettiness.
BM. Those who you are somech on, do not bash those he is somech on. Why do you feel the need to do so?
Mexipal. Of course “the gedolim” are always right. the problem is, “the gedolim” are not the ones who educate our boys and girls.
I did not read all the responses, although the OP touched on a number of potential answers. I’m sure the usual suspect answers were already given and if not, will surely be debated to death over the next few days or until someone crosses a line and the moderators are forced to shut the thread.
To answer the OP. I personally daven in a shul that does not make a mi shebeirach for the Tzahal, this does not make me, or those who daven in the shul anti the medina, or kofui tov to the Tzahal. I can not speak for anyone but myself here. when I daven for the well being of klal yisroel in galus, in the bracha of goel yisroel or when we say sim shalom…”val kal yisroel” it includes all members of klal yisroel, not specific members.
You say a special teffila for the Tzahal, thats your perogative. Do you say a special tefillah for the cholim in your local hospital? If not, does that mean you could care less if they just drop dead?
Put yourself in the shoes of a 7th grade BY of BP girl. What should she do in her free time?
Ride a bike? (see the CR thread about that).
Walk the ave with her friends? Suddenly she’s hanging out in the street with her friends (see recent CR thread).
Go to the mall? Same problem.
Roller blading in the park? (see bike riding thread)
Just about anything she might do outside the house, someone is ready to scream its not tznius.
So, we’ve limited the girls to indoor activities. How much homework can girls do? How many books can they be expected to read? How many get togethers with her friends can she have (without someone screaming that its not tznius with her brothers around the house).
So, now we’ve limited the girls to the house, alone. She is tired of reading, sick of her homework, she isnt ready to spend her days baking cookies, challah or knitting a tallis bag for her future chassan. Her mother doesnt need her help to prepare for/from supper right now. What should she do? It is more depressing trying to picture myself into the shoes of a 7th grade BYoBP girl than reading about the conversation you had with her.
the city of NY recently passed a law requiring all (nyc) government and commercial buildings to install dual flush toilets, so those hwo live in NYC and frequent these places, will start seeing them soon.
If someone was determined, they could bypass the best filters available.
Is that the type of person we are discussing?
I finally got around to reading the article the OP references. All I can say is, did the 2 of us read the same article?
Maybe they like to shoot pool?
Talking mice? Must be something hashkafically wrong with that 🙂
On that note. Time to get ready for shabbos.
“i dont find tv programming, as “clean” as you wish, to be harmless, as it places you into an environment of goyish values, thought, attitudes, and feelings. they WILL be absorbed, no matter how careful and selective you are. this is what i consider sewage to a Jewish Neshama.”
Kind of funny coming from someone who works (paid or unpaid) for a website.
and some people can deal with a little sewage seepage rather easily.
Brickbreaker.
Some people believe that pouring sewage into a water line makes it a defacto sewage line. I think that is the crux of the debate here.
“ppl sign school agreements and say that they don’t have TV/ internet”
The mesivta and yeshiva ketana my boys attend and the girls school my daughter attends do not make anyone sign anything.
the schools send home a letter stating the school policy and the possible reprecussions if owning a tv or watching videos becomes detrimental to the chinuch of any child.
“Chicago Rabbinical Council of NY”
Pashuta. I got it.
The “sticker hechsherim” are absolutely reliable. In fact, they make sure to use only the highest quality glue, on their stickers to make sure the stickers remain firmly attached to the packaging 🙂
There should be at least one “Aish Rabbi” in every yeshiva and beis yackov.
the key is not to slap someone around and make sure they get back in line (which heaven help the teenager who asks the wrong question of a rebbe or morah in a yeshiva today – which only exacerbates the problem) but to make sure the path we want them to follow is one that is enjoyable and fulfilling. “ol mitzvos” and “satisfying and fulfilling” are not mutually exclusive. in fact the opposite is true. Pikudei hashem yesharim, mesamchei lev. If they are not mesamchei lev, perhaps it because we are not properly giving over pikudei hashem or not giving over pikudei hashem altogether.
“where does this *gasp* thing come from. I know of other girls who do it. Is it a girl thing?”
Would you prefer, “egads!”?
We’ve always accommodated our non jewish neighbors who rang the bell, with an assortment of the finest Paskesz, Libers and Geffen candy we could find. After a few years, they stopped coming 🙂
Ofcourse wrote:
“I think we’re skirting the real issue. Based on what I’ve read and heard, many in the community are walking the walk and talking the talk of Frumkeit, but are not really feeling true satisfaction from it in their hearts.”
I agree with statement 100%.
Did the article address the level of satisfaction with yiddishkeit (or with themselves as frum yidden) these “OTD” kids felt prior to their first exposure to whatever it is the article didn’t like?
Mrs. Braun. Did I say anything negative about you or your business? Your comments to me imply that you feel there is a negative tone to what I wrote. There is none stated, or implied. If you feel there is something negative, please say so, I will ask the moderators to remove my comments from this thread. It was/is not my intention to say anything negative about you, or your business.
every community has its own opinion. everyone, hopefully, has a rav. when in doubt. ask.
We don’t get invited out much, so when we do, we make sure the entire host family is taken care of (so that the next time they are thinking of having guests, they think of us!).
I take care of a nice bottle of wine for the husband. My wife usually gets a gift certificate for a manicure for the balabusta and we usually bring some sort of candy platter for the kids.
Everyone wants and needs something enjoyable. If we can’t explain or show how torah and yiddishkeit can fill these wants and needs, the outside world is ready to jump in and do just that. They are often way better prepared to make their case.
The question is “is onlinegelt.com a scam or is it legit”?
The business called onlinegelt is unquestionably in my opinion a legitimate business. Its owner is offering you some basic information about how she believes you can be successful in the world of “affiliate marketing”, once your appetite is whetted, it is offering you a product (information in this case) how to go about setting yourself up to take advantage of this (estimates are) almost 6.5 billion dollar a year business.
To answer my own previous question about data available in the library. If you would pay for a sefer that is a likut on say hilchos shabbos then I don’t see why lihavdil you wouldn’t pay for this. You can just as “easily” learn through hilchos shabbos yourself and don’t need the likkut sefer and you can just as “easily” (in quotations because I have not tried and don’t know how easy, or not, it is to gather this data yourself) do the research research on affiliate marketing. Like every product you consider buying, is the time saved worth the purchase price? The actual content? That is up to you to decide once you buy it. The seller claims it is valuable information that has worked well for her.
What affiliate marketing program(s) you join is more important than is Mrs. Braun legitimate (as with all yidden, she has a chezkas kashrus with me – she has done nothing to destroy that chazaka as far as I am concerned).
If you already have an online business, you’ve probably heard of affiliate marketing. If you don’t, you will need one.
As an aside, those who make a living in the anti spyware/adware space, are thankful for affiliate marketing and the business it drives their way. As with all businesses, there are plenty of shady charachters and adware/spyware is a legitimate concern, to shoppers (I’m sure gelt 201 comes with enough reminders that if your website damages peoples computers, they are not coming back to your site).
Personally, I am a bit weary of a business model popularized and revolutionized by the adult entertainment industry when the web was still in its infancy (its one of the reasons most spyware lands you on a porno site).
Why pay for a course how to bring eyeballs to your website when the library is filled with such information, free.
As in al MLMs, those at the top of the pyramid will make money, no arguments there. How close to the top do you get in determines how much money you make.
Its not for us pashuta yidden. Or was that pushata? Poshiter? Pushuta?
People need a reason to hit your website. If lots of eyeballs are on your site, you can sell advertising space. Promise people money, they will look, and amazon will pay to be on your site. Problem is, you need a draw to your site. Eventually everyone will be promising this business and the eyeballs will be sprea5 too thin. Then, the trick is to come up with the next idea to pull those eyeballs.
“It occurred to me that there are mitzvos that we all keep, even the worse sinner here”
it is a maamar chazal. hint: pomegranite seeds.
I suppose we should all marry perfect people.
He. his mind is only on the highest levels of kavana during tefilla, it goes without saying that he doesnt talk within 40 yards of the shul. Seder? not a single wasted moment. learns all day, and then some, eats just enough to have strength to go back to the beis medrash for night seder. Never speaks lashon hara. Middos are sterling, in fact, he interacts with nobody except his chavrusah, maggid shiur, shoel umashiv and rosh yeshiva.
She. davens 3 times a day. speaks no lashon hara. is found at the nursing home during mealtime helping the residents and when not delivering tomche shabbos packages is sitting home dutifully sewing a tallis bag for her bashert.
someone who is growing? has what to klap al chet for on yom kippur? feh.
“Its not having.”
Seichel and manners appear to be of the more prominent “not haves” on a lot of peoples lists.
Familiarity does not correlate to reliability. cRc has reputation of being very reliable.
So Right. Your getting good at it.
