Google Mishkon 5th link down had the number
if the boy is a regular yeshivish guy looking to end up in mir/brisk/bmg then these days theres no reason to go to E”Y for first year. However if hes looking to go to college or can use chizuk then EY is a good choice.
Esterh, a “serious yeshiva” helps for the right boy only. You have to choose the right yeshiva for the boy not the yeshiva first. Also, I hate to break it to you but your shver may have helped you feel better but had your son wanted to hang out it would have stopped very little.
For me it was the best thing to go first year evn if my parents wouldnt have approved of everything I did had they known.
dunno, I never read that book and the story was definately girls POV. I guess it got around.
I dont remember where I read the story but there was a couple that met in a lobby checked first names….Had a great date she calls the shadchan and says I want to go out again but the shadchan said he said you didn’t show and they realize wrong guy…She tries to find the guy and cant has several dates with other guys always comparing them to the phantom and turning them down.
A couple of years go by she gets redd a sfardi but doesnt want to go out, after weeks of being badgered she gives in and it’s that guy and they get engaged.
Dont sleep shabbos afternoon.
you want them published here?
I know a person that had a big fire in part of their house, everything was ruined in one particular room besides for a tefilin bag with tefilin in it. He was so nispoel that he decided to find out more about tefilin and yiddishkeit and became frum.
After rereading your OP this might not be what youre looking for but a beautiful story IMHO nonetheless.
for younger kids you can google coupons for Chuck E Cheese and then get 100 tokens for $15.
not funny but embarrasing my 3 year old said to us after someone held the door open for us” thats a nice goy, its good he didnt try to kill us”.
It was right after he learned about the mitzriyim and if the person heard they didnt flinch.
ETA my last $100-$150 at the minimum.
I was in EY for a few years, I came home every Pesach. Technically I could have stayed but very few did and both my parents and I wanted to spend Pesach together.
These days you can expect to give $100-$150 spending money monthly add that to the cost of a dira mentioned above.
Aries, while it might be expensive most people send to nurseries because both parents are working.
Besides for the fact that it is better for a child and more mentally stimulating to go to preschool.
Surprisingly for furniture the best bang for your buck might be the frum stores. I bought a dinette set at a store in BP (i forget the name but its on 13th ave) same description as above and under $500.
Ikea might be okay for bookcases but their stuff is junk.
Ateres Avrohom isnt cheap.
hashem is everywhere ask a local rabbi but if you use $100 from maaser and win $100K I cant see why you wouldnt have to give $10K.
Oomis it’s your preragotive to do what you want with the money but when you buy tickets from an organization you’re supporting them. If you’re that anti a place dont buy tickets. Say Neturah Karta (I figured they’ll go through the edit) has a raffle I would not buy a ticket because I am virulently anti them.
Other yeshivos learn better doesnt mean that they’re right fir you.
Learning better means a higher level; CC teaches you how to learn and if you dont know yet then the other yeshivos arent right for you.
The lottery and most organizations give themselves the right to use your picture if you win.
I know someone that won a nice sum of money and they did alter his picture (added a long beard and changed his hair color).
As for Maaser they cant take it without permission but I feel a person should give it back to the organiztion they won from.
I once did work for a yeshiva and told them to deduct 10% from my pay.
When I was in HS (9th grade) the Menahel asked about the 8th graders of my school.
He said only tell me if you know them and which boys should we recruit.
they are over an hour away from NY that is not right near
Parents should be involved in the process. Parents should be trusted that they have their childrens best interest in mind. A 25 year old bochur in Lakewood has no reason to have the shiduchim redd directly to him. Redd it to the parents and let them look into it, after that if the shadchan wants to talk with said bochur thats fine.
Joseph not being into learning isnt a “personality trait”.
anuran we get it you dont like cholent.
It might not be fair but boys get redd more shiduchim ergo theyre pickier than girls. dont delude yourselves into thinking that only boys say no for seemingly stupid reasons. I’d bet this family would say no if they were the girl.
I think its crazy however it (saying no because of siblings) happens all the time.
The crock pot liner is a life saver, you chuck the bag and a quick wash of the pot is all you need(it doesnt affect the taste you need to put a cup of water in the pot before the bag). Otherwise soak the pot, use steel wool and elbow grease.
Haifa so that they can pick up the stray.
Gunther great choice, I’ve actually been trying to find it recently(I believe the title is Yanky and the shabbos candles). Does anyone know where to find it?
I can think of 2 Hinei yomim boim one is dveykus the other is Carlebach.
The yiddish part of mama rochel does it for me.
A lot of it depends on mood but there are tens of heartzig songs that are uplifting at the right time for me.
Old…but your name says girl, I’m so confused.
I didn’t get/need prizes for everything. My kids are a little younger then the conversation intends and I agree that if you always give a prize even at a young age it gets worse as they get older.
That being said there is nothing wrong with prizes what worked when we were kids changes as the years go on and we need to change with it.
Praise is nice praise with a prize nicer.
when we got the torah women were told positives to keep it and men the punishments for not.
So reinforcements have a mikor in the Torah.
As kids get older it becomes a problem if they do things only for the reward but for the most part it’s not a bad thing. Though some of the above posters come as bitter and cranky old people.
What age are you talking about?
Children need/deserve positive reinforcements and should get them.
While there is a point that becomes too much, too little isnt good either.
It was on CNN a couple of months ago. He was targeted because of facebook.
There are positives and negatives to facebook.
Facebook is public and anyone can see it I know of 2 shiduchim that people turned down because of facebook comments people wrote.
Happy Holidays have become the PC thing to say, therefore thats what I say.
Probably $500 minimum.
I heard R’ moshe tuvia leif saying bshem someone but I forget who that every soldier in the IDF that gets killed died al kiddush hashem because they were only killed for being a jew.
According to a former secret service agent, since homeland security has taken over the secret service their quality has gone down.
Kudos to ICOT for that very detailed post.
Are mods former regular posters?
Do they keep posting under the regular name also?
Good question…moderator 80
BPTotty:
Speaking from experience, I can safely say that (barring a truly rare exception) everyone that wants to get married can.
It’s also very general “can” what does that mean and by what age.
EDITED
GOODY,
we did top 5 one person was in charge and she asked coworkers or did a google search.
we played male v. female and had a great time for close to an hour.
The recall wasnt related to a lack of research on the vaccine. Rather a bad batch there is a big difference.
people have the rite to spend their money how they see fit. (i’m not referring to takanos) you cant tell someone dont spend your money on fancy things give it to tzedakah.
To attend and complain is bad form.
The question was Should BMG be involved not should minorities.
Obviously everyone has a right to be involoved.
The majority of the town is there because of the yeshiva and wants what they do. Even the people that didnt attend BMG and moved recently because houses were “affordable -there” and the yeshivos were good moved because the yeshiva is set up there and it became a jewish community.
Like it or not you have to pay taxes. blaming the roads on the yeshiva is stupidity.
The letters in the yated this week were laughable, 2 examples one person wrote “that someone from the vaad said taxes other places in NJ are higher and letter writer feels that shouldn’t be someone from the vaads response his answer should be we know this is unacceptable and will do what we can to lower it”. second letter “garbagemen and a few police officers dont cost that much”
Firstly when you own a house you pay taxes. once you understand and accept that you can discuss getting it lowered but to act as if it’s unjustifiable that you need to pay taxes get a reality check.
Secondly, “garbagemen” salary is the least costly aspect of garbage removal. A neighborhood that 10 years ago had 20 single family homes and today has 50 houses with apartments cost much more to upkeep. Again taxes are part of home ownership.
family feud(the game not literal).
The yeshiva is stopping the roads from being paved?
I dont live in Lakewood but come on, be real.
NY mom,
I understood and appreciated your response earlier I guess we have to be careful of context.
That is exactly my frustration.
This conversation was referring to the stigma of broken engagements. jewishandworking22 is right on both things they said. You (MM) may be right in cases but dude you are blowing this way out of proportion.
