Try 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar.
No. That’s not something that can be determined by an internet forum.
“Lachem. V’lo lo.”
I remember Yachad from the NCSY Shabaton that was part of my high school class trip. Yes, they were with us and even though they were very different, we managed to get along. I still remember this guy who called himself James Bond.
In Internet slang, a troll (pron.: /?tro?l/, /?tr?l/) is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion. The noun troll may also refer to the provocative message itself, as in: “That was an excellent troll you posted.”
Maybe you are here to seek validation for *your* beliefs, secularfrummy. Another case of Projection.
secularfrummy, is that why you are here?
Most advanced math books are written by people who know their stuff but don’t know how to teach.
I like Stroud’s Engineering Math books (vol2 is called Advanced). Work on them at your own pace and master each phase before you go on to the next one.
Well, teaching my niece to read effectively before kindergarten was just the first step. We also bombarded her with tons of books and she carries her Paperwhite Kindle with her at all times (on weekdays)
You can see them when they are alive and jumping around in the reservoir but when they are dead from the chlorine, they are very hard to see.
Purple, you mean you saw Dov Hikind?
My sister was a marshmallow, her husband was a laffy taffy, one niece was a lollipop, the other was a cupcake and my nephew was a gingerbread boy.
I don’t think we have enough conservatives in law and I’m sure Justice Scalia would concede to my point.
In the old days, you could go to any bakery and get bread because bread was always just flour, water and yeast. But in America, they came up with the idea of adding milk, eggs, lard and all kinds of other things to their bread.
That’s right. Not everything revolves around NYC.
Copepods and most other ‘bugs’ are pagum so you don’t have to worry about their taste treifing up your pots when you end up cooking them. You do have to worry about birya, that is, having them whole. A whole birya never becomes botul so you can’t eat anything with those things in it.
When they go through a filter, they break apart and the water that comes through no longer has copepods that are birya.
Vlasic are polish pickles which means they add sugar and vinegar. Israeli pickles have vinegar but no sugar. Jewish sour pickles have no vinegar or sugar. They ferment naturally which is why there is a thick cloudy brine.
I learned to read when I was 3 years old. My mom used phonics flashcards. I remember ough as one of the tricky ones…
Engelmann’s DISTAR system (for example, see his 100 easy lessons) is much more thought out because it addresses every step in the reading process and not just phonics.
Get the book “Love your neighbor” by R Zelig Pliskin along with the Chofetz Chaim on loshon hora.
Then you introduce ideas from Choshen Mishpat, such as what you’d find in the Bavas, but even before you get to the gemara, you need to teach the concepts such as ribis, sechiras poalim, etc because chances are he is working and has to deal with business issues and needs to know these halochos now.
I talk to people from all over the world on the web. The worst thing you can be is a “grammar Nazi” because you can’t expect everyone to be native English speakers.
I like Guss pickles. Especially the spicy ones.
OK here is a solution. Let’s say both ‘A’ and ‘B’ give you homemade shaloch monos. You give ‘A’ the shaloch monos you got from ‘B’ and you give ‘B’ the shaloch monos you got from ‘A’.
I gave my sister my copy of Siegfried (Ziggy) Engelmann’s “Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons” It worked so well for her kids that all of her friends have asked about her ‘secret’ and they are now using the book for their kids, as well. Her oldest daughter is now in 3rd grade and can read at the 8th grade reading level. She even has her own Kindle with over 100 books on it.
I guess this means you will also give them a home made shaloch manos!
akuperma “We should relax and enjoy the discussion. This is the first time in 500 years that a brand new food is introduced.”
A food? I thought we were talking about quinoa?
I’m pretty sure that nobody here has a taava for listening to Russian opera.
Where I come from, when someone offers you a gift, you accept it unconditionally.
This may come as a shock to some people, like when a teenage girl realizes that the supposedly nice guy who told her that he really really loves her and wants to be her friend really doesn’t love and care about her but just wants something else…
If there is no mechitza and other gedarim, this is what will happen: the guys will check out the girls and flirt with them. If she is seen to be ‘under the influence’ and partying, she will be seen as an ‘opportunity.’ I know because I’ve seen what it is like in coed MO schools.
Do not think that just because a guy has a hat and jacket (or even big beard!) that he is any different than any other guy inside. Yosef was a great tzadik and this was still a big nisayon for him. It may seem horrible and not very nice but this is the way things are so that a couple, that does things the right way, will have a happier marriage together.
The whole point of drinking on Purim is that you are supposed to be missing the point.
I’d much rather see more time spent on other things, such as math. Asians may not have the best English grammar but that’s not stopping them from taking over.
On Pesach, many people have accepted upon themselves to be stricter than the rest of the year. If this was manageable in the olden days, it is certainly not such a big deal when you can get non-gebrukts pancakes and pasta primavera from the frozen food section.
Everyone feels so entitled. Maybe there will be an Occupy Movement until they get the shaloch manos they feel they deserve!

Because it sure beats eating fat that was fried in fat!
You can eat latkes on Pesach. You can’t eat hamantashen on Pesach even though you now have 5 million hamentashen that you have to throw out because of early Pesach cleaning. Therefore, latkes are superior.
Solo is turning into a pizza restaurant. F Fabricant from NY Times wrote:
But wait, there’s more. Adriani is also famous for his montanara pizza. They first fry the dough, put toppings and bake it a 1000 degree wood fired oven. That’s similar to the oven we use to bake shmura matzo.
It’s a taanis d’rabonon so are you allowed to taste something and spit it out (such as minty mouthwash)?
True but it will be sad if you get tasty food when you can’t eat it!
I think one has to be careful with words such as “blame” or “cause.” I don’t think think that social media is the cause of the problem. It’s just that if someone already has a problem, the technology would make it easier to act upon it.
Social media includes anything that makes it easier to check out other people from the privacy of your own computer. Not just facebook.
There are commercials on TV (even on the Fox News channel) telling men to check a website so that they can cheat on their wives. Anyone who thinks the internet won’t affect their spouse or their teenage children must be really really naive.
If you are going to give mishloach manos to the entire block so that they don’t feel left out then you should first give matanos l’evyonim to all the poor so they don’t feel left out.
There are many more reasons to be makpid on benching after the seuda or davening Maariv after Purim with kavana
One should be very careful not to make fun of established minhagim that you do not understand.
oomis I guess this means you don’t eat at restaurants…

I agree with this. Let chareidim work and they will be able to support those who do learn without any strings attached by the government.
If there is no way out of the draft then there will be no way out when the State decides to use the army to evacuate the settlements. The draft becomes more of a tool for control and not for the sake of defending the people.
There must always be a way out. Moshe Feiglin is not chareidi and he gets it.
Hopefully we won’t end up with a debate between the Bayesians and the Frequentists. Otherwise, things here will get REALLY ugly.
I actually thought this was a new kind of hairstyle…
Then I found this
Beigel disease: A fungal hair disease where soft nodules form on hair shafts. The nodules may be white or black depending on which fungus is involved.
It’s funny that they have no problem eating pork and shrimp but get all excited when it’s a horse.
If you are on the madrega where you only listen to chabad nigunim, OK this is not for you. But think of all the many young people who are addicted to non-Jewish music. Maybe this will get them to give Jewish music another look.
