chas v’sholom for a yid to go to these events. It’s bitul torah mamish! what’s the question?
I have a strong strong feeling these sneaky slimy democrats are scheming to steal this election away from Trump once again; either dead voters or illegal voters, destroying trump supporters vote ballots…
Gd save us.
p.s. what is Trump doing in regard to secure/fair voting to ensure whatever happened last time (2016), doesn’t happen again?@levi365248
I, too, had NO idea what tragedy YWN was referring to . I asked around but no one knew what it was. I guess the Yeshiva World (?) News revolves around Lakewood?? There wasn’t ANY WRITE UP IN YWN, how are we OOT supposed to know what is going on?OP, mazel tov! You totally singlehandedly solved the shidduch crisis! Someone should pair up short boys with overweight girls!
Boom!ANSWER: MY DATE
bruchim tehiye @abukspan, nice to hear, thanks for sharing that. A gmar chasima toyva to you and your family!
THANKS FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL VORT @abukspan
I was thinking of a hosafa to this pshat with a thought of how we end off davening on Rosh Hashana Mussaf. We say KeHaYom hazeh teviaynu sosim u’smeichim bevinyan sholeim. So I was thinking, what’s the ‘KeHaYom Hazeh”? And why do we call the Beis Hamikdash a ‘Binyan sholeim’? According to your vort it’s beautiful. Kehayom hazeh, just as today we revel and bask in the Shechina’s presence in our shul here even in chutz l’aretz, and conduct ourselves in our shul, in our mikdash me’at, as in the beis hamikdash, but it is nevertheless lacking, it is not the preferred place for our avodas Hashem. Please teviaynu sosim u’smeichim bevinyan sholeim, in your Perfect House, the Beis HaMikdash. There we will do the avodah in its pristine way, in the Presence of Hashem where we can literally sense, in the most appropriate perfect holy place, the BHSo sorry for your loss! May your family be comforted and have only simchas iy”H.

L- u’Leshalom@coffee addict, nope. never once was I told that. But I know what you mean. People are scared of others going OTD if they hear what’s going on out there, but that’s because it might me enticing. But on the other hand, Da Ma Shetoshuv, you need to know what to answer. As a matter of fact I’ve had many many non-jews ask me about my religion over the years and I gladly answered them all. I was once told by a goy that his religion was true and it is clear in Nach. I did not have an answer at the time as I was young and didn’t know pesukim from Yecheskel etc which he quoted. So I asked my rabbi what its talking about and that was the end of that. Most people are asking out of curiosity.
By a cult you dare talk a word about what they do.@Chaylev,
All atheists nowadays are absolutely dumb uneducated ignorant fools. They are not religious, nor polytheists, all they are is people living the ‘free’ life they want and making excuses and tirutzim and rationalizations to back them up their lifestyle. If they really really wanted to know the truth about Gd, they would use common sense with a mix of all the great teachings of past authors on the subject: Rambam, Yehuda HaLeivy (Kuzary), Ramchal, etc etc. But they never read any of that and are simply uneducated cynical people with limited minds. You think they worship gods?! They don’t have time for gods except when they curse.
Even religious goyim are so few and real and true to their religion. The biggest religion nowadays is Hollywood movies.The answer is that by a cult its leaders tell all followers not to talk to anyone outside the cult about what goes on inside the cult rooms.
This is what I heard from people working in kiruv rechokim, and helped people ‘stuck’ inside a cult.Not sure how American politics works, but after all what’s going on under the US ‘president’ (Afghanistan, immigration chaos, inflation, etc), why on earth isn’t he being impeached? Where’s the accountability?
is mud muddy?
Thank you for this thread. I’ll put in my 2 cents for what it’s worth.
The only mitzvos in the Torah we have regarding love, is three: to Hashem, other Jews, and to the Ger.
However I believe in the Shtar tanoi’im or in the kesuva, there is a line to ‘live together with love as is the norm of society (וידורו ביניהם באהבה וחיבה כאורח כל ארעא.)
In a kesuba there are moral obligations like providing honor, food & clothing, that is written, understandably so. However there are things in the marriage contract that aren’t there and that is because it is so absolutely obvious. Nowhere in the contract does it say, the wife and husband should sleep in the same bedroom, eat together on shabbos, or sit in the sukkah together. That’s redundant, because that is what a marriage is all about. So I think that love is something that is so basic, so obvious, and so necessary to have in order for a proper marriage to simply function, it is therefore unnecessary to include this in the contract.
As far a chiyuv, I wouldn’t believe one’s wife is any less included in V’Ohavta L’rayacha Komocha.May he have a refuah sheleima, and we should only hear b’suros toyvos iyh
Thank you for this thread, I just noticed it and read through it. I am glad that it wasn’t taken down like all the other platforms that talk ‘blasphemy’ against the vaccine nonsensical plan/campaign/propaganda. Glad this is an open discussion without nivul peh, or name calling. yes there’s tension from both sides but at least there’s this decent human discussion, something that we don’t see much of these days.
@DaMoshe -“…the kid was Yisroel Williger, who sang The Gedolei Hador on the album Klal Yisroel Together.”
Correct.Trio of related singers: 1 – Avraham Fried, Benny Friedman, Simcha Friedman: 2 – Eli Marcus, Shmueli and Bentzi Marcus: 3 – Reb Dovid Werdiger, MBD, and YEEDLE Werdiger
Who had a solo in a Miami Boys Choir Concert with his father playing the main instrument?
Can you name at least 4 boys from MBC that came out with their own CD later on?
What choir did Yerachmeiel Begun have before Miami Boys Choir?@BoruchSchwartz – not bad, great answer. I was thinking of the note he hits at the end of his English song ‘the time is now’. which one is takeh higher?
Wow, impressive.
ok, here’s some:
Which song does Avraham Fried hit his highest note ever?
Which famous to-be singer sang a Miami Boys Choir song in yiddish in his youth?
Name 3 trio of singers that are relatedahhhhh! A classic YWN coffee room thread for the slow summer day.
@Participant, in my shul the gabbai still does the good ol’ “ya ah ahmod ha…maftiiir chaZAAAAK”
Someone did new newer version a couple months back and from peoples’ faces it seemed that they weren’t so impressed. Here’s hoping that version doesn’t stick!It is an amazing seminary with top-notch teachers/rebbis, and in an absolutely beautiful building itself. As far as an 18yr old BT, I don’t know what level she’s holding by but this seminary is a very high level, post-BY high school, education program, so I don’t know what type seminary she is looking for obviously but this is a mostly FFB crowd who went through mainstream ‘Bais Yaakov’ schooling
@Yserbius123, I hear your words and think you are a noble, intelligent person. I, too, thought that way until my kids suffered from adverse effects of a vaccine many years ago. Vaccines are amazing and work very very well. Most of the time. But not all the time. The problem is we don’t know who it will be good for and for whom it will not deal well with. I think the attitude of ‘Well if my doctor says it’s good then it is good for me’ is an old-fashioned misplaced trust
That was true when doctors of old healed their patience with herbs and natural heathy ingredients. When the big Pharma companies are now supplying the unnatural, sometimes toxic, drug doses that doctors distribute to their patients, caution must be applied. I’m not saying not to take the vaccines or stuff, all I’m saying is use your common sense, and speak it over with people who are knowledgeable in this area to get some sense of what to do.
Maybe you’ll get good advice like:
Let’s see what happens in a couple months, then we’ll revisit if we should get this or not.
or, Did you know these COVID vaccines aren’t even FDA approved and are on a trial basis.
or, Why should kids get the vaccine if COVID it’s not even dangerous for them? Besides don’t we all have something naturally better by Hashem Himself – antibodies!
Again, make your own decision.
Doctors by the way, took years and years to get their degrees, won’t necessarily tell you what’s right but what they were taught in university. Vaccines=HealthyI once said a milsah d’bedichasah with the following taich:
in the paragraph of the Chochom child he asks and asks and asks from his huge piles of notes that he brings to the Seder table, one dvar torah after another…”Mo ho’eidus v’hachukim, v’hamishpotim…etc”. Everyone is falling asleep trying to understand, fighting to stifle their yawns. One person though is beaming with pride: the father! Even if he doesn’t understand all of it, his nachas knows no bounds. Says the Baal Haggadah, “Af ata emor lo kehilchas hapesach, ein maftirin achar pesach afikoymon”. Have pity on the rest of the family! You too, tell the kid, that just like there’s no food after eating the afikoymon, one more dvar torah and you ain’t getting any supper tonight!My rav says often that by the Seder, he is the one who talks and if anyone has a comment or question they can ask, but zero divrei torah from anyone. All divrei torah from the kids are saved and said over by shulchan orech and by the day meals.
I’ve seen and heard these conspiracy theories. I don’t say I believe them 100%, but can anyone believe the year we just had (2020)?! Has this not been the most tumultuous, upside-down, crazy year we have ever lived through? Are nanochips SO outrageous for you to believe? Have you been sleeping through this year? Does anything make sense anymore? Do you really believe that masks or Covid testing work? Do you trust politicians, doctors, scientists? Does it make sense to close businesses, schools, arenas because of the ridiculous ‘crisis’ that were going through? And through all of this Hashem runs the world….
Hi! Good to see you!
very nice, thank u @aviaviavi
Mazel tov!!! You should be zoiche to build a bayis ne’eman b’Yisroel with your bashert with lots of love, happiness and serenity be”h.
My 2 cents:
1) You are the luckiest person that you found YOUR bashert. NEVER take that for granted! You won the lottery and this bashert is the greatest and favorite person in your life. This person was designated for you by Hashem Himself, and together you will both grow and become great together if you put your minds to it.
2) Be scrupulously honest to each other. Nothing undermines the basic foundation of your relationship as lying and dishonesty. Nothing.
3)Yes it’s important to remember your bashert’s birthday, your anniversary, etc and all important dates on the calander. But don’t underestimate the little things. Every single day say ‘good morning’. Telling each other you love them, writing a little note reminding of your appreciation of your spouse. details, details, details.
Marriage is hard work. But like everything in life, it’s about attitude. It can be ‘hard work’, or it can be viewed as ‘just a way of life’. Brochah, v’hatzlochah!
L’chaim!
Hey Zappy,
I just started a new job and I’m VERY busy these days. Perhaps when things calm down, I will then contribute divrei torah, gladly. But for now, I’ve become a glancer rather than a poster because of my hectic schedule.
I nevertheless encourage you and others to post a dvar torah, and wish you much hatzlachah in your endeavor.
L’Chaim!

Heard in an argument somewhere, far away,
“I would AGREE with you, but then we’d both be wrong!”
I like to switch my opinion sometimes, mid-fight, and suddenly take my wife’s side of the argument (she usually wins anyway, so I also want to be on the winning side occsionally).
She’s like “..but you CAN’T do that!!”, and I’m like “Of COURSE I can’t!!”
hehe, really throws her off, lol

Tough break for the islander to lose the captain now. Ouch!
Anyone want to volunteer a dvar torah?
Maybe posters can take on a day of the week to post one, like in the old days…
In can be a dvar torah on this week’s parsha, or parshas shekolim, Adar, Purim, or on anything topic! Would be nice to get this thread bursting with torah once again
What does it mean a sukka that is 20 amos high is not a kosher because the shade is from the walls (and not from the sechach)? What part of the day are we referring to? If the sun is directly above the sukka (midday) then of course the shade is from the sechach, so it should be kosher!?!

My humble opinion (as is my wife’s opinion too), is that babies just look plain stupid in earrings. Babies are cute and don’t need anything but a clean diaper and stretchy.
They only start looking semi-cute at age 8-9, but not before.
oomis – funny, I overheard someone just 2 weeks ago on shabbos (parshas mishpotim), that the idea of a woman having their ears pierced is related to that of the eved nirtza, since one of Chava’s curses was that women are meshubad to their husbands. (I have NO IDEA if he was joking, or quoting someone on that one, but you can be sure I didn’t use that shtikel torah at MY shabbos table!)

I was at a sheva brochos couple years ago on parshas Terumah, when a guy got up to speak l’kovod the simcha. I don’t remember his whole speech but it was about the newly wed couple embarking on their life journey to build a ‘mishkan me’at’, yada yada yada. His ending was classic though:
“…so we learn about the mishkan we made for Hashem. Since a marriage is also about building a new bayis, it therefore pays to study the bais Hashem to see what we can learn. And, raboysai, we see the top three most important things for building a bayis, and I quote the posuk….’zahav, kessef, u’nechoshes’
May Hashem bless your bayis to be like the mikdash- everything donated.”
I can’t remember where I put my hat yesterday, you think I can remember what year it was when I was born??
