“Why do rebitzens cry sometimes?”
because they are babies?
“hmmm ive never had a water with linger whats it taste like?”
Probably depends on the person you are with.
“it all comes from a sefer. I just forgot which one.”
anonymous person quoting an anonymous rebbetzin backing up his/her ideas from an anonymous sefer.
go for a walk across the brooklyn bridge
Why not undergo an Orthodox conversion that would be acceptable to all right now? What possible downside could there be?
“i hope you’re joking, all those boys that finish mishnayos for their bar mitzvah don’t become closer to Hashem?”
“And I think Rav Moshe was directing those comments towards the over-the-top bar mitzva celebrations, not the bar mitzva itself.”
I wonder if R’ Moshe was addressing those celebrations where there is more emphasis on the bar than the mitzvah.
my rebbetzins friends rebbetzin who isnt so famous, but her neighbors rebbetzin is very famous and for security purposes only the last 3 symbols of her last name will be displayed, **********ski, explained that babies cry because they cant do anything else.
This should be everybody’s biggest worry.

“it is not a “global” problem,”
if 50% of the people believe this way it is global. I am certain it is probably closer to 80% (or more). I’m no pollster and I have not taken any polls, but I am certain I am correct.
“There are plenty (not plenty) of Frum black girls!”
Which is it, plenty or not plenty?
And why the sudden resurrection of threads that are 2,3 even 4 years old?
Where can we find this psak of the Rambam and where does the shulchan aruch bring this down?
@Francorachel3 Please reread what I wrote. You are putting words in my mouth.
hindsight is always 20/20.
welcome to the real world lesschumras. in a utopian society we wouldnt discuss this, but, we do not live in utopia.
Does the gemara ever use the svara “tav limaisav tan du” regarding men?
The bag of farfel is the same no matter where you buy it. Just look for a store that offers the amenities that are important to you. Is it convenience (short commute, offer delivery, everything under one roof, easy parking), low prices, large selection, multiple departments (fruits, vegetables, take out etc) and shop there.
soliciting advise online can lead to serious halachic issues as you get more responses and they start putting down stores by name.
“I’m very doubtful that you would say to your child,….”
Attitudes run deep. I’m a realist, and I know how I feel. In this theoretical exercise I can very well imagine myself saying exactly what you doubt I would. Lets take black and white out of the equation and substitute other cultural differences, say a Bucharian boy and Chassidishe girl. Would you say parents have no right to be concerned and more importantly express that concern to their child, even in strong language? would you classify it as racist?
SYAG. Im a realist. People have turned down shidduchim for far less.
DY. I dont know what I would say if the situation came up. I know how I feel now, and assume I would say then, what I feel now.
what you are experiencing, probably is the norm. i dont have kids in shidduchim, but being brutally honest I know my gut reaction would be the same as “her parents” andI suspect most would have the same reaction. we dont live in a perfect world.
the way I heard the story is that the chofetz chaim himself had a hergesh to stay in bed one day for after all, he was an old man and could use his sleep and he replied to the yetzer hara, you are way older than me and up bright and early doing your job, so is no excuse for me. either way, nice story. nice lesson. doesnt change the 1st line in shulchan aruch or how to apply it to ones every day life.
Wrong is too nice. Stupid is more accurate.
See how the Rambam interprets “yezter hara” in the 2nd perek of avos (Not sure what mishna – but the mishna says ayin hara, yetzer hara etc….).
please explain shmos perek chaf alef passuk yud tes.
the doctor and medicine are 100% real. that is how hashem created the world. a cheshbon hanefesh and teshuva and then going to the auto mechanic for a broken leg is stupid and against everything hashem wants from you. please do not believe me. speak to your own rav/rebbe/madrich or whatever it is you call it.
If the brakes on the car were faulty and you went to the dr. to repair, I believe that would be dangerous.
The kol koreh issued to the flatbush community (and published on ywn) was as a result of a shayla posed by three flatbush rabbonim to those poskim. they published the response they received. the three rabbonim in question often work together on communal matters.
there was no conspiracy or desire to get anyone on their behalf.
my name starts with a silent q. it is so silent that not only do we not pronounce it, we dont even use it in the spelling.
im sure somewhere rube goldberg is smiling
dont push
ask them.
Yes, but a man who lives with a monkey. No matter how big his hat…..
the quote attributed to rav belsky shlita (see rabbi hoffmans article in the news section) is unfortunately how too many people view shabbos and why they would be quick to jump at an opportunity to insall such a switch in their home.
“just overheard from someone in the grocery store”
the same one with the talking fish?
“unmarried men are not ???.”
in light of this pshat, how are we to understand the passuk “adam ki yamus baohel” both the pashut pshat as well as the drashos on the passuk.
did you ever see the man with the yellow hat with anything other than a monkey at his side?
How old are you? The fruit punch room is down the hall.
when the satellites are lined up just right.
So THATS why women are always shooting off their mouth. It comes from a position of superiority. I always knew I could count on the coffee room to teach me something new every day.
thats why we dont sit in the succah when it rains. as cheres we will fall apart. although I dont know why we would need a ptur of mitztaer when it rains if we have the more general ptur of sakanna, of dissolving in the rain. perhaps the seforim discuss this.
I live in a small out of the way place called new york city. not many shops here. probably have to order online.
This latest study is actually one of the top stories on Yahoo and AOL. You dont have to go far to find info on this latest study.
The newest issue of AMI Magazine that hit the news stands today covers the “kosher switch”. I saw the cover, I have no idea who wrote it, who he or she consulted in preparing the article or what it says.
“What exactly is the problem with doing things Hashem didn’t asser?”
See the Ramban at the beginning of parshas kedoshim for starters.
Regarding Rav Moshes psak of kibui on yom tov. No, it is not a secret, nevertheless his own talmidim have told me (and in fact was part of the psak I was given) that it was in the category of halacha vain morin kein publicly to the masses precisely because he was concerned with zilzul. someone would say “litzorech the food” cavalierly and say “rav moshe permitted it” when in fact he did not.
Most importantly, it really doesnt matter what we do or do not think of this switch. It is what my posek says that matters to me and what your posek says, that matters to you.
so mrs plony, where can we buy these cards, my daughter wants a pack (of card, not cigarettes).
You don’t see the difference between a fee and a bribe?
Where do you buy? Never heard of it.
???? ???????
Well, tzedaka taztil mimaves. The gemera says so.
Aser bishvil shetisasher. That is not a 21st century advertising slogan.
Arba shelach, kineged arba sheli. That is a rashi on a passuk in chumash. Not a madison avenue marketing campaign.
Tzedaka is the only time we are allowed to “test” hashem. This is a gemara.
do these maamarei chazal turn you off to the mitzva of tzedaka?
I drove by yesterday. it was gone.
“Going 36 mph on a Brooklyn street is very unticketable.”
Depending on the brooklyn street 36mph is reckless and could kill someone.
