Baruch BohmParticipantoomis, I disagree with your statement “the fact that five children can be brought up in the same loving home and one of them does not have good middos, can only be explained as that child having inherited certain bad characteristics from other members of the family.”
Like I said before, middos result from learned behavior. That behavior can be from parents, teachers, friends, and any other sources that one is exposed to. In fact, most likely everybody are exposed to a combination of these sources. Therefore 5 children can be brought up in the same loving home where 4 manifest good middos and 1 does not is explained by:
a) the 1 child being exposed to someone who did not demonstrate middos
and/or
b) every person has free will and despite seeing middos may choose their own path
Baruch BohmParticipanttheObvious, your siblings are not generous because the trait is “hereditary.” Rather they are generous because it is learned behavior from their father, who presumably learned to be generous from his father, teachers, etc.
So to answer the OP’s question “they” whomever they may be are wrong. Middos are not hereditary. They are a result of learned behavior. It is not enough that one’s father be generous, rather the child must see their father’s generosity in action and that will result in the child exhibiting generous behaviors.
Baruch BohmParticipant“they” ?
Baruch BohmParticipanthealth, can you elaborate on a situation where PA school is harder, thanks.
toomuch, PA is great if med school is too overwhelming, explore both and go for what best suits you!
Baruch BohmParticipantPopa, you shouldn’t text while drive, not only because of the statue, but because you value your own life and the lives of others.
Baruch BohmParticipantwhat a great point!!!, chas vshalom you should have to make that point in court because of the consequences of your important text while driving!
Baruch BohmParticipantyou don’t even know what gender you are talking to, how is this even a ???????????
Baruch BohmParticipantyou guys are doing irreparable harm to the english language. Make it stop!!!
Baruch BohmParticipantKach 613:
-Yes the Colts defense allowed them to drive for the winning score but the Jets also held the Colts offense to only 16 points.
-Yes the Pats defense is flawed and as you point out the Jets didn’t let Brady throw the ball- that was the game-plan, tempt the Pats to run to contain Brady and the passing game.
-The idea that there is no way the steelers will lose the game is preposterous- the Jets already beat the Steelers this season, they also beat the Patriots (twice) who throttled the Steelers.
*I won’t guarantee a Jets win but they certainly have a good shot so I’ll predict Jets 16 – Steelers 13.

Baruch BohmParticipantDon’t leave the charger plugged in for too long. Only plug in while charging, not for all use.
Baruch BohmParticipantYou supported Jimmy Dolan (“the Garden”), by extension the athletic department of the college, nothing wrong with that.
January 4, 2011 6:06 am at 6:06 am in reply to: Tipping a delivery boy – Mandatory or Optional? #920230Baruch BohmParticipantLet me try to clarify this: a tip is never mandatory unless it is already in the bill! As for the “chutzpa” of the delivery boy to ask, the delivery boy is aware that many will not tip and as a result will attempt to evoke guilt so that they can receive a tip. But why you may ask??? Because you mistakenly believe that the delivery boy is not dependent on the tip. Yes he probably receives a pay check from the restaurant but it is very possible he would only take the job knowing he will also be tipped, the restaurant also pays the delivery boy an amount assuming most people will tip. In conclusion: it is a Chilul HaShem not to tip, and you still have every right not to tip and the delivery boy has every right to walk away thinking the “real-brisker” man that orders food is ………..
Baruch BohmParticipantso sad that a young woman must feel nervous about a sem interview because of the marriage implications
Baruch BohmParticipantCoffee room is always good for a laugh! Nothing wrong with owning any car one can afford. Probably a little “gashmi” to write about it in the coffee room though (especially when your username is SIMPLEkindaman)
Baruch BohmParticipantRoger has a very energetic style that I would imagine would keep the material interesting. Never took the course but did have an opportunity to meet him. Hatzlacha!
