Here’s another interesting quip from the Minchas Elazar, the Munkaczer Rebbe zt”l. He relates to evolution, according to which man developed from apes. This apikorsis claim is based on the great resemblance between humans and apes in various aspects. Indeed, he says, there is a relationship between humans and apes -not that WE developed from apes, but that, as the gemara in Sanhedrin (109:1) teaches, some of the generation of migdal Bavel became monkeys!
Quote: “Some transformed into monkeys, spirits, shaydim and leelin”-sanhedrin 109
uh…i wuzz kiddin’……
TRIVIA QUESTION: – When the yidden were trapped by the Yam Suf in front of them (BEFORE it split), and the Mitzriyim behind them, they cried out to Hashem for help and davened for a yeshua. Surprisingly, Hashem said to Moshe Rabbeinu why are you davening?? Go into the sea! Q:What was wrong with davening to Hashem?

This is the Skulener Rebbe’s son in Montreal, who is very ill. He is a talmud chochom, an ish emes, and is followed by 100’s.
Thanks BaalSechal!
According to R’Yonason Eibeschitz (tiferes yonason) the generation of Migdal Bavel did not want to build a TOWER to reach the sky, as they would have to build a foundation bigger than the whole world. They only wanted to be saved from any future flood by building …..youre not gonna beleive this…a SPACESHIP to bring them to the moon!
NOTE: R’ Yonason Eibeschitz passed away about 250 years ago…
waaay before startrek, Neil Armstrong, and…..and…uh…and Steve Jobs(?)
Nechomah: “Consider buying a few siddurim of your nusach and giving them as a donation to the shul where you find yourself daavening.”

git gezugt!
miritchka and nitpicker:
I did not say he SHOULD be reported on everything. Aderabbah, he SHOULDN’T be reported ANYMORE, and the media should leave him be!
HOWEVER, what I was saying was wherever he GOES people in the STREET will view, perceive, and refer him as “the father of Leiby z”l” forever. Al Korchoch. When I or you see him in the street, what’s the first thing we think in our head? Be honest. right?
It was a bitter and unforgettable tragedy, and he WILL always be known as “the father of Leiby z”l.” But he can somewhat be proud, proud to be a part of Klal Yisroel and knowing how much achdus that incident created. Until his future sons will be born & grow up and be Gedolim iy”h, only then he will be known as the father of the gedolim. Until then he is the “father of the boy who was killed”.
Thats the price to pay when in the media these days. Whether we make the concious effort to be in the limelight, or if it pounces on us out of nowhere, if it’s a big story, that’s who you ARE, FOREVER.
man, kollel101, if you don’t want to gain weight, you better do something fast! Eating late night snack (sorry, fooooood) is really not healthy, and not healthy means you are abusing your body! See a nutritionist, or (don’t be afraid)maybe peek and pick out a diet-there’s so many out there.
3 Eitzos:
for starters, drink alot during the day, and with meals. no, not booze, water! (I drink tons of WATER too BTW)sometimes the body THINKS it’s hungry but really needs to drink.
Also brush your teeth, this helps btw.
Thirdly, you can eat and eat and eat, and still be hungry. how? if what you’re eating is not healthy, you can be eating for an hour straight, but your body is screaming (that’s the hunger you feel)”I need nutrition!!!” Just because you ATE doesn’t automatically mean you will FEEL FULL! If you supply your body with vegetables, fruit, proteins, etc, stuff that your BODY needs, not what your BRAIN needs, then you will feel satisfied. Hatzlochah rabbah!
Ooooooh thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!!!!
Thank you everyone for all the compliments, and ZeesKite, thank you for starting this wonderful thread, and thank you to the Academy of the CR for this opportunity to be recognized for my talents, my addiction, and of course my humility…
L’Chaim yidden, L’Chaim!
(note: this post was taken after breakfast today. hey, who sayz booze is only for lunch and supper)
puleeeeeeeeease EVERYONE knows who doesn’t have internet. The ENTIRE LAKEWOOD is internet free!
Hey Goqqqqqqqqqqqq,
I HAD to put in my 2 cents. I LOVE your posts, and though I don’t know who you are, but from your posts you seem extremely charismatic!
You’re witty, wise, and wonderful and your comments are filled with the juiciest of all goqiness (is that a compliment, or what? I don’t go around using that on just ANYBODY, y’ know!)
🙂
You Roqqqqqqq!!

Hey coffeaddict, I can’t understand what’s bothering you, I LOVE to have the last word!! 🙂
(hey, at home it’s always the wife, right?)
I always read your posts and never thought of you as a conversation stopper, but a pleasant and intelligent poster. Please, please keep posting even if it MIGHT be the last in the thread, and don’t go all paranoid on us now 😉
hey, maybe switch coffee for booze. works on me for years 🙂
Gumball – may your bubble never burst!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
congrats on the subtitle BTW, yaaay for u!!!!
L’Chaim Gumball, L’Chaim! (note: you gotta take out that gum you’re chewing, THEN drink!)
A good Yom Tov to you, popa! May this Holiday serve to be a source of power, resilience, and courage to us all. What you did today was like something out of a fairytale!! Surely the Heavens are smiling down upon you today! You continue to inspire us and are a real source of joy. You make us all SO proud!
I don’t know anything about that rumour but they say that before Mashiach comes, all neshamos must come down, that’s why there are so many multiple births these days as Moshiach is on our doorstep. Don’t know if that is true and I have no sources but that’s what many people told me when we had the twins.
IMHO, (and I know that I am a husband, but I would like to offer my opinion anyways,) if my wife looks stunning in a $2400 shaitel (& she does!)and she is happy with it and takes care of it, gezunterheit, may she wear it in good health and happiness for many years to come. When the boss is happy, everyone’s happy. Us men also have some expensive item to make US happy too: cars, electronic gadgets, tools, etc,(and yes, for some maybe even clothes). I think it’s very expensive, yeah, but if thats the going rate in that quality shaitel- go for it. So, what can I say, I love when my wife looks pretty and is happy.
NOTE: this opinion was typed BEFORE I had my first drink of the day 🙂
I’m second of 5 kids
father of 4
I like booze.
’nuff said.
O.K. I don’t know how this took so long. This thread was waaaay overdue!!!!! How did you hold it in for so long, Gumball? LOL!!!!
:):)
hhhmmmm Gumball…Loves to jump into conversations, making it fun, youthful, exciting and happy. So super to hear posts from a young energetic poster like you and we hope you continue to brighten the CR in the future for a loooong time!!!!
Mazel Tov to you Aunt Gumball….
……wellllllll, what’s his name???
Rumball?
Gumball Jr.?
shein: maybe I didn’t make myself clear- I didn’t mean MARRY an older girl. I meant APPRECIATE your wife ESPECIALLY one that you’ve been married to for many years!
good for you mrjones may you keep smiling till 120, you and your eishes chayil!
Rabbi Avigdor Miller z”l said that an older wife is much better than a younger wife. When a young boy and girl get married, they’re both young and happy but don’t know what will be, what she’s all about, if the marriage will aspire to all the good they dream it should. Yet one thanks Hashem for finally finding their bashert.
But now that you are bothmiddle-aged and B”H with children, one must thank Hashem even MORE for one’s spouse. Because now you appreciate each other more, love each other more, and are more experienced/mature/compatible as a married couple.
I used a milichige (metal) potato masher to mash my potatoes which were boiled in a plastic fleishig bowl. the potatoes had onions in it but the onions were marinated, so they were not sharp tasting anymore. What is the state of the potato masher, food, and bowl? What if the onions were raw and sharp?
maybe your right ‘Shticky’, it should be in a seperate thread.
Mayor: I’d vote for you ‘Goq’, but for a man of mystery as mayor….i don’t know….i’m getting suspicious u might just raise the drinking age 😉
gotta be careful indeed…
maybe ‘chayav inish livisumay’, he seems more my pace…:)
Hey grandma, you frequent this thread often, what do you think? new game for all?
Hope you had a delicious serving of kapusta on Simchas Torah!!
Mine was yuuuuuuuuuuummmmy!
OMG, My joke above was said after many drinks-‘a-la-booze and, BTW, made absolutely no sense!! lololol!!!!!!
but it SOUNDED like a good one 😉
I think we need a RAV for Coffeetown as well. i vote for am yisroel chai (AYC) as our new rav of Coffeetown!
WOW, The Coffeetowner Roov!
I’ll drink to that.
L’Chaim Yidden, L’Chaim!
Good idea. many names have been repeated. If you keep track, than I wholeheartedly agree, Shmaryahu!
I can not recall how I got my name.
I was at some party, and the rest is all verrrry hazzzy….
Go figure, he probably is starting a new thread like this for popa….
🙂
AYC – official winner of “NPA” nicest poster award!!
His posts are terrific and a pleasure to read. You always know it will be something nice. What a great personality, and virtual friend everyone would want to have!
I can’t wait for Thursday!! My twin sons are having an Upsherin!!
Talk about about a double header!… sorry, SORRY, had to say that, couldn’t hold it in….LOL. Anyway I’ll miss their hair. One is stright whitish blondish in a pony tail, the other is redish brownish curly locks. They’re soooo different but thats just another reason why I love them!
What topic is that?
ZeesKite: L’Chaim refers to Torah (as in Eitz Chaim Hee).
BeHa”b is done twice a year. The first Mon-Thur-Mon of the month of Cheshvon, and Iyar. Since these months come after the big Yomim Tovim in the months preceding them. It is basically selichos (appears in most standard siddurim) that are said by shacharis.
The gemara says one who eats on the street is compared to a dog (doimeh L’kelev). i.e. it is not a morally correct place to eat. Outside is a place where dogs eat. If one wants to eat something, you sit by a table make a brocho, and eat. Ideally, we can’t view eating as stam an act we enjoy and don’t put any thought into it. Rather, the way a yid supposed to eat, is he must think (as always, BEFORE doing ANY action)that he is eating this delicious food Hashem provided him, and hopes to be strengthened by it and be healthy, in order to continue to serve Him. Eating is an Avodah, it’s another way we can serve Hashem when done properly. A dog eats out of instict. He smells food, runs and eats. Indoors, outdoors, anywhere. For a yid eating in the street is not a place to eat (i.e. difficult place to concentrate on eating Lishmah)
This is what I was thinking. Does it sound right?

L’Chaim ZeesKite, L’Chaim
**burp** excuse me!
this thread has too much to digest at once.
can we please start over again.
Zillah, (Washington)
…so anyway this guy walks into a bar and orders a gumball…
bartender says we don’t have any gumballs, this is a bar, we serve alcoholic beverages ….says oh, I always have gum in MY bar
what did Noach and his family eat in the taiva during the flood?
Mabul cake!
HA, love that one, just thought I’d share it 🙂
torah and booze….aaaaaah, ONLY THOSE can get you nice ‘n shikkur with happiness…nothing else….nothing else…
If you drink alot of booze, usually all these gematrias works out just fine. you do NOT need a calculator. i tell you from personal experience. for example: BaalHabooze is gematria ‘A gantz yur shikkur’
Try it. it will usually work out somewhere, let’s say, after the 9th or 10th cup of wine.
Tried and tested. by me it works out each and every time, the EXACT SAME gematria. every single time. unbeleivable.
oh, BTW: gematria is gamatria gematria.
(it might be off by 1, but it doesn’t count. that would be a drank that you sign much too.)
Man, this is what sister/sister-in-laws are for!!!!!!!
Gumball, I bet your brother is soooo happy to have you around!!
Warning Gumball: you will be VERRRRRRY busy as the official babysitter for the next 3-4 years at least, you DO know that?
Maybe I SHOULD call my aunts, uncles more often, but isn’t it a decent and praiseworthy move to AT LEAST wish them a gut yur??! Why is it s/t that bothers you? They are always so happy when I call them before the new year. It’s just hard for me to make conversation when we live in another city, and they are much older, it just doesn’t flow so well.
yeah, and why only girls, not boys??
