Wow, the mental gymnastics people will go through to try and rationalize stupidity.
I’d be caregul if trying to date kollel guys. Their wives might not be to thrilled with the idea.
Shallow people are easily spotted no matter what side of the counter they are standing.
In Iran there are no reasons. You don’t like it. Oh well.
“Think of them as the neturei karta of christianity.”
One of the sharpest (not sure how to spell seicheldik) posts to appear on YWN, ever.
As a matter of policy I never answer questions that are asked by someone who refuses to identify themselves.
328 is Montenegro. I’m sure someone was calling to tell you that you won the lottery and they need your aba and account number to wire it to you.
the only winner here was the satan. he is laughing all the way to the bank as he managed to spread much lashon hara, rechilus and sina.
we are too far removed from adar or april 1st for it to be a joke.
“It is.”
I guess you are an expert in hilchos shabbos.
It MIGHT (I am no expert in hilchos shabbos) not be in conflict with the shamor aspect of shabbos, but it sure flies in the face of the zachor aspect of shabbos.
“You can’t assur something just because its not “in the spirit” of shabbos. You have to clarify whether it is permitted halachically or not”
The Ramban at the beginning of parshas kedoshim disagrees with you.
If one views shabbos as a day to survive and get through because of all its restrictions, I can see why one would welcome this app and try to make it work halachicly.
Rashi and Sifsei Chachamim in last weeks parsha (perek yud daled passuk beis… Rashi d’h shemever and the sifsei chachamim there) describe the king “shemever” as a charachter very similar to Icarus.
Too many grey areas here. Counselor wants to get together with campers. Great. Where, when, for how long, under whose supervision? These are things any normal parent will ask any time their child leaves together with a group of friends. This isnt over protectiveness, this is parenting 101.
Mork calling Austin, come in Austin.
Another dentist you may want to consider (double check he still takkes medicaid I m pretty sure he does) is Eric Lebowitz in Flatbush. He dooesnt perform all dental services (he isn’t an oral surgeon for example) but from my experience he is a professional, knows his stuff, has an excellent personality and bedside manner and courteous staff.
“It would mean that girls that aren’t supermodels wouldn’t even have a chance.”
With the recent (in the last 1-2 years) decision by shadchanim to request photos along with shidduch profile the non “supermodels” are already behind the 8 ball.
I know this sounds radical. You could say no to any suggestion that involves driving 6 hours to a 1st date.
alos hashachar happens once a day.
The tune for Dedis “yimloch hashem” is a combination of the tunes for the song take my breath away from the movie dirty dancing and what a feeling from the movie flashdance.
MBDs shabbos song (on an old collection of yiddish songs) is the tune from the joseph song from the musical joseph and the technicolor dream coat.
Most of the popular “introductions” at todays weddings are taken note for note from popular classic rock songs.
Most of the tunes used on country yossi and the shteeble hoppers come from popular country music artists (at least CY owns up to the fact that his songs are parodies).
Manhattans Lower East Side and Upper West Side and Washington Heights communities are pretty close to Manhattan too.
the questions isnt why people dont follow the rules. it is why they are not enforced!
Actually, he meant there is no substitute for learning the halacha.
It is said that the Divrei Chaim of Sanz ZY’A once remarked, if you do what you remember from the heim and not vus shteit in shulchan aruch, you will end up shlugging kaporos with an esrog.
Good question. Ask your Rav.
the NYT makes a great lining for kittys box.
You have my vote if you want to break the therapists computer.
The Catskills cover a large area. How close to Woodridge do you want to stay?
hmmmm….
“The therapist would pay my son 100 shekel every time he came to speak with her.”
So, if you break the computer, your son will accelerate the number of visits, save up for a new computer and then what? You break that one too?
“is davening with a minyan deoraisa”
No, but “Vnishmartem” is.
“@apushatayid
“After all we are living a life of ONLY avodas Hashem (for now at least)”.
And I asked if you ever plan to live a life that is not one of avodas hashem? Instead of answering the question, you repeated your statement, this time with emphasis on the word ONLY. So, I will ask you again, do you have plans to ever live a life that is not one that is ONLY one of avodas hashem?
You are his parents. You have a right to set boundaries for what he is and is not allowed to do at home. If he purchased a computer, great. You have a right to tell him that it must be properly filtered according to your standards if he wants to use it in your home. If he does not comply, dont let him use it. Why would you want to break it? What do you accomplish by that?
the botanical gardens is not far. personally, I dont enjoy looking at flowers, but some might enjoy it, and perhaps find it to be a fun activity. prospect park and prospect park zoo are not far. you can sit outside 770 and try to gues the nationality of everyone who passes through the doors. hatzlacha.
“After all we are living a life of only avodas Hashem (for now at least)”
“for now at least”. you have plans to live a life that is not one of avodas hashem (c’v) at some point? I know what you mean, and you are seriously mistaken if you believe that once your husband leaves the kollel you will not be living a life of avodas hashem.
One more safety tip. It is for all those who drive on country roads that they are clearly not familiar with.
Drive like a mench. You might be in a rush, but it is no excuse to tailgate, cut in and out of traffic and speed on dark country roads. Not only are you a danger to yourself, but you endanger everyone else on the road as well. Among the sullivan county locals, rt 17 is affectionately known as “the hasid 500”.
Whats important is not that you are bothered that he doesnt daven with a minyan, it is how you address the situation.
He couldnt meet her standards?
Blessed is he who has nothing to say, and can’t be persuaded to say it.
Is this your attempt at yogiism?
I don’t doubt that the situation you describe occurs. However that is not the majority. It is certainly not what Rav Shteinman was commenting about. It also dooes not change the fact that that many mosdos vehave moved away from conformity and embraced uniformity, and if you want to play a game of sematics wee can argue they have established their own criterion and determined that everyone must conform to those.. calling it a lack off conform to the uniform behavior they desire.
Yes, there is a difference. My question to “nisht” to elaborate still stands.
And?
Nisht. Care to elaborate? I have no idea what you are talking about.
Ty Cobb was an anti semite and racist. Perhaps they feel his cousin Corn On The shares the same sentiments so wont serve it in a kosher establishment.
“this the comment that the non-conformists like to use.”
This is where uniformists have completely twisted logic and turned it on its ear. Anyone who is different in the slightest is easily cast as a non conformist! As Rav Shteinman is reported to have said (and if he didn’t I still think it is a true comment) it is nothing but Gaava the way most children are rejected by mosdos.
“conforming with school standards?”
I think to some degree this is a given. The problem the way I see it is that in recent years conformity has been replaced with uniformity.
and here, you can respond 6 months later to someone who probably doesnt even read YWN any longer. try hanging out in a classroom for 6 months before responding to a teacher.
I wasnt.
