Thank you all for proving me right.
Like everything in judiasm: Machlokes.
Some say it’s impossible, others say it’s easy…
rob… werent there gedolei hador who worked on the printing of the vilna shas which we use today? are you sure it’s completely artificial with no kedusha stuff involved?
The problem with fingernails and 3 days before Shabbos is this (acc. to my understanding): Fingernails are constantly growing. However, in order that it should not be noticeably longer than when you cut it to a length that looks nice, the cutting should be within three days before Shabbos. It apparently takes three days to be noticeable, not to start growing.
So… is Joseph a moderator? ask him, but not on this thread in case he isn’t How is he always here? see my answer to your first question
My rebbi told me over shabbos that R’ Chaim Ozer, when he was a child, rode a goat into cheder. He was wild as a child.
Back on what was being said earlier about playing as a kid:
Today, someone told me that R’ Chaim Kanievsky said about himself that he didn’t learn well until the age of 17 and that if it weren’t for his connection (Steipler/Chazon Ish), he would have been thrown out of yeshiva as a child.
Please verify this story if possible. But even if it goes unverified, the point is still there.
Teen, what do you think the source of being a “good person” is? The Torah Hakedoshah!
The source of all morals, even those we possess “naturally,” is the Torah. Chazal tell us that Histakel B’Oraisa V’Bara Alma. This means that Hashem based the world (nature) on the Torah. That is the only reason we have natural morals. So if all our morals of being a good person are based on the Torah, we should follow all (that we can) of the morals the Torah sets forth for us. This sounds demanding, but only Hashem understands you’re exact situation, and only He will be able to judge you.
Regarding parents: Theoretically, they all want the best for you. Some parents are missing basic parenting skills and I don’t know you or your parents (I think :)). What you said about pushing beliefs being counterproductive may be true, but every child must be dealt with differently. Some children may respond properly to this treatment but I disagree that it is always counterproductive. I do agree that parents must know who to push and how much to push, how to push, and who not to push at all. Unfortunately,not all parents understand this and push their children off further.
I give you and your parents a brocha that you should learn to understand each other and love Yiddishkeit.
qwertyuiop – if you were asking if I was charles the answer is no. He was the same guy as Give Me A Break though.
Give Me A Break/Charles Darwin…
Am I the only one who misses him?
I did a chessed for the entire world. I learned a blatt Gemara.
All these chasadim are beautiful. I think perhaps, ‘altz’ middos, it would be better to mention chasadim we saw others do or know that others did…
Talking about our own greatness seems a little improper, imho.
Thanks alot. You are doing the yidden a great service.
MEAT
Hamentaschen
They taste better and don’t need applesauce to make edible (I hate applesauce)
Facetious
an sometimes “y”: facetiously
*… all of the vowels …
What’s the only english word with all the vowels in order?
(I haven’t been keeping up with this one. I hope it wasn’t asked yet.)
More threads about moderators!
Very good point.
Shkoiach.
P.S. (I’m still offended by kefirah)
13ikrim, sorry i think i misunderstood you, that post should be aimed at the others, who i now think you were arguing with.
Are you sure you have the 13 ikrim straight?
The gedolim don’t have to speak out against everything.
They are good at knowing what to speak out against, they don’t HAVE to speak out against anything. Their presence in this world is good enough. See Sanhedrin 99b towards bottom. They definitely know better than YOU.
Hey Ashreinu,
Don’t take my ideas!
There is only enough room for one Jew-praiser on this site.:)
GMAB, I was wondering where you went… 🙂
YWM, please post the hebrew + english date of the shloshim. Thanks.
This will be done shortly – thank you

Ashrecha Yisroel, me and the good Rabbi go back a loooong loooong time…
About that… are you two moderators? You know each other personally?
I did. That’s what I meant by immature
There are other posts that are clearly immature. No more needs to be said.
JD…
you seem from your other posts like you don’t have any kids.
Are you including yours in “our”?
First of all, on these threads we are talking to everyone, as if making a speech, and of course one may give a speech to the opposite gender.
Second of all the problem with talking to the opposite gender is tznius/flirting. This is clearly not happening on a yeshivish website with amazing moderators.
I live in America, but Mashiach is coming soon, and I will join all the heilege yidden in Eretz Yisroel.
Good going bigmo. Stay away from those games if they disturb your learning, which they almost always WILL.
Joseph,
Are you saying the you know rabbiofberlin personally?
Are you making a joke?
Or is this not your first screen name, and rabbi of berlin suggested it on YW itself?
If it’s a joke, please explain your name.
I chose my name because I feel our main focus here on YW should be the praise of the Jews. We are a great nation dedicated to Hashem.
Besides, it’s hard to argue with someone with such a complimentary name. 🙂
avithedemon,
when you say the “upset gender,” do you mean the “opposite gender?”
What’s the difference between a computer and an actuary?
Computers have hearts!
99+99/99=100
I thought tha was an old one.
Rashi Pesachim 4a for explanation.
Moderator: do you enjoy having to read every riddle?
Re: noitallmr
note the “:)”
Not an exact quote (the idea is from my memory – i dont have a copy handy):
They were trying to make a spacecraft faster than light to go lightyears in less than years. However they realized the only thing that travels faster than light is bad news. It didn’t work out well when they tried to fuel a spacecraft on bad news.
2 of Rabbi Chia’s Siblings married each other, completely beheter.
Jewish? 🙂
GMAB:
CORRECT!!!!
oomis,
No to the water gun question.
Yes to the something really obvious.
He did want the water to drink
Sorry I posted it twice.
It was inadvertant.
A man walks into a bar and asks for a drink of water. The bartender instead takes out a gun and aims it at the man. The man said “thank you” and walked out.
Try to clarify the situation so it makes sense by asking questions.
I will respond to yes or no questions until I gotta go, when I will give the answer if it wasn’t figured out.

Feivel, these riddles are extremely geshmak, but contain no humor 🙂
Should we start a trivia thread? 🙂
