BTW, the law does not apply unless they grossed over 2.5 million dollars, so it might just be protesting that would do the trick.
The law you posted is in regards to unit pricing. There is another law requiring conspicuous pricing which does not depend on sales volume.
Ðash®ParticipantWould there be something about the water fountain, aside for the plug, which would help me identify if it’s a mechanical one? Sam2 said about the “perfect stream”-but is that true?
The electric ones usually provide a consistant supply of water regardless of how hard you push the button.
Why make them electric? I don’t know.
The main reason to make electric valves is so the designers can put the buttons wherever they want without mechanical constraints. It also gives them the ability to get creative with sensors other than push buttons.
Ðash®ParticipantMuch of Lewandowski’s work is arrangments rather than compositions. I’m sure some of Sulzer’s work was also based on previous work. The reason we attribute works to them is because they were published.
Ðash®ParticipantAlso, Polly-O mozzarella (before the OU) had Conservative rabbinical hashgacha, and R’ Abadi allowed that because there was a fully automated process in place; i.e. machines poured microbial rennet into the milk, and human hands never handled the cheese-making process.
His sons’ website has the following question:
Message: I called the Mashgiach at the Polly-O company where they make the Polly-O Mozzerella Cheese. He told me all the ingredients that go into the cheese are either Chaf-K or O-U, but that Polly-O didn’t want to spend more money on putting the O-U on the package for their Mozzerella cheeses. He is a conservative Rabbi, but he said he’s very strict when it comes to Kashrut. Do you know anything about this?
Reply: Cheese needs full-time supervision.
AA
And a followup:
Message: I actually just spoke with the Rabbi that supervises it. He said it’s a completely automated process and human hands do not touch the food at all. Again, he stressed the Kashrut of the ingredients.
I do understand what you are saying, however and I appreciate your clearing up this matter for me.
Have a very happy Passover.
Reply: Interesting Rabbi. Did he forget to check the laws in the Shulchan Aruch?
Chag Sameach.

Ðash®ParticipantHow do you make cupcakes in backpacking pots?
Ðash®ParticipantHow did and why did the Rashba’s shita become de rigueur? Why does nobody hold like the Noda be Yehuda here these days (except Rav Abadi and maybe a few others)?
Those that hold like the Noda B’Yehdah aren’t in the Kashrus industry.
Ðash®ParticipantLike immersing in a mikvah holding a sheretz.
This is an analogy that I fail to understand. Sure it would make sence if someone actually went to a Mikvah to remove Tumas Sheretz but I don’t know of anyone who went to a Mikvah for that reason.
Ðash®ParticipantYou aren’t allowed to switch into the right lane though if you’re planning on switching right back into the left lane.
I’m not sure where you’re located but here is the law for New York State:
(a) The driver of a vehicle may overtake and pass upon the right of another vehicle only under the following conditions:
1. When the vehicle overtaken is making or about to make a left turn;
2. Upon a street or highway with unobstructed pavement not occupied by parked vehicles of sufficient width for two or more lines of moving vehicles in each direction;
3. Upon a one-way street, or upon any roadway on which traffic is restricted to one direction of movement, where the roadway is free from obstructions and of sufficient width for two or more lines of moving vehicles.
(b) The driver of a vehicle may overtake and pass another vehicle upon the right only under conditions permitting such movement in safety. Such movement shall not be made by driving off the pavement or main-traveled portion of the roadway, except as permitted by section eleven hundred thirty-one of this article.
Bolding added by me.
Ðash®ParticipantThe primary concern is what cheap coconut oil they used last week. A secondary concern would be how the machines are cleaned.
Ðash®ParticipantAt first I wrote O’Dells but then edited it, the correct spelling is Odell’s.
I never said it wasn’t Kosher.
Ðash®ParticipantPBA, Can you split lanes with your Honda Civic?
Ðash®ParticipantButter? It’s probably Odell’s Super-Kist Two. You’d have to know the history of the equiptment since it was last known to be Kosher.
Ðash®ParticipantI knew better than to bring up controversial topics like TV.
But if a camper had brought up the topic, would you have been able to provide an honest answer in line with the camp’s Hashkafah?
Ðash®ParticipantStart off by taking the subway to either upper Manhattan or the Bronx.
Anyone who needs to use a subway to make it out of Brooklyn has no business riding to Woodbourne.
Another idea to get out of the city is to take Metro North to Poughkeepsie.
He (or she) can take a train to Otisville. But the point is to ride, not to take public transportation.
Ðash®ParticipantI’ve never done it myself but if I’d do it would probably be as follows:
- Bicycle Route 9 to Newburgh
- Route 17K to Bloomingburg
- Side road parralel to 17 (changes names multiple times) to Monticello
- Route 42 to Woodbourne
Ðash®Participantpopa you should know better. there’s no way it would be considered adverse if it’s shared.
It’s still adverse but it isn’t hostile.
Ðash®ParticipantThat reminds me of this one.
O-U-G-H A Fresh Hack at an Old Knot
by Charles Battell Loomis
I’m taught p-l-o-u-g-h
“Zat’s easy w’en you know,” I say,
“Mon Anglais, I’ll get through!”
My teacher say zat in zat case,
O-u-g-h is “oo.”
And zen I laugh and say to him,
“Zees Anglais make me cough.”
He say “Not ‘coo’ but in zat word,
O-u-g-h is ‘off,'”
“Oh, Sacre bleu! Such varied sounds
Of words make me hiccough!”
He say, “Again mon frien’ ees wrong;
O-u-g-h is ‘up’
In hiccough.” Zen I cry, “No more,
You make my t’roat feel rough.”
“Non, non!” he cry, “You are not right;
O-u-g-h is ‘uff.'”
I say, “I try to spik your words,
I cannot spik zem though.”
“In time you’ll learn, but now you’re wrong!
O-u-g-h is ‘owe'”
“I’ll try no more, I s’all go mad,
I’ll drown me in ze lough!”
“But ere you drown yourself,” said he,
“O-u-g-h is ‘ock.'”
He taught no more, I held him fast
And killed him wiz a rough.
Ðash®ParticipantWhats word press?????
WordPress is the software that runs YWN and bbPress is an add-on that runs the Coffee Room.
Ðash®ParticipantI wonder how long it will take for this thread to get closed.
Ðash®ParticipantHow and when did you get your username changed, and how did the mods allow it?
It’s quite easy if you know your way around WordPress, you don’t need a mods permission
Ðash®ParticipantNo, your parents insurance is required to cover you until 26 regardless.
That’s only if the parents have a family plan to begin with. It’s possible that she is in some kind of “student group” and wants to remain in it (although a seasonal job shouldn’t affect it).
Ðash®ParticipantThe worst baalei tefillah I’ve ever observed in my entire life are the Yeshivish. When I was a kid, our Reform cantor knew nusach, including Lewandowski and Sulzer.
If prayer is treated as a spectator event you can just groom just the top tier of performers, however if it is a participant event you need to accept the mediocre along with the exceptional.
May 13, 2013 9:50 pm at 9:50 pm in reply to: Chassidush school in Brooklyn bans thick glasses #953275Ðash®ParticipantWhat if someone decided that contacts were stylish and banned those
It already happened. This is from a YNet article titled “Rabbi, how do you like my glasses?”.
In a special sermon to the young yeshiva students of the Hasidic dynasty, considered one of the biggest in the haredi sector, Rabbi Israel Hager, the successor of the Vizhnitz Hasidism’s founder, discussed the dangers inherent in modernizations on the secular street and urged the students not to wear metal glasses and contact lenses.
The rabbi made the remarks as part of the Shovevim period – an acronym for the Jewish weekly Torah portions of “Shemot”, “Va’era”, “Bo”, B’Shallach”, “Yitro” and “Mishpatim”. During this period, it is customary to be more careful not to violate any of the sex-related transgressions commanded in the Torah and study the laws relating to such transgressions.
Rabbi Hager said in his sermon that the students must “beware of the dangers hiding on the street.” He added that, “a student who wishes to delve into Torah studies and observe mitzvot must detach himself from all nonsense and not let them infiltrate.”
The rabbi called on students wearing modern metal glasses to remove them and move to anti-modern plastic glasses. Rabbi Hager also spoke out against yeshiva students wearing contact lenses.
