After 3 days, this is the best you can come up with?
The “Who is a Christian” debate is as fun to follow as the “Who is a Jew” debate.
Don’t worry about running short, She can cook more food on Yom Tov and it will be fresher.
Did you bring your Karbon Chagiga yet?
Moshe was a prophet.
Where do you have to switch Planes?
Toronto and Zurich
I hope not Aukland, New Zealand
Why not? I wouldn’t mind visiting New Zealand
Anyone planning to take advantage of this offer should keep in mind that the airline can cancel your ticket.
Chacham: You’re right. That’s because I’m not sure how to transliterate the shva na.
Use the schwa symbol “?”.
Is New York a county, city, or state?
i thought ur not allowed to fold table and chairs on shabbos and yom tov?!
Just make sure not to fold on the creases.
I might repeat to myself, slowly and soothingly, a list of quotations beautiful from minds profound; if I can remember any of the damn things. -Dorothy Parker
Quoting: the act of repeating erroneously the words of another. -Ambrose Bierce
Wise men make proverbs, but fools repeat them. -Samuel Palmer
Dairy allergies are caused by the immune system. Lactose intolerance is caused by the digestive system.
Dairy allergies aren’t that rare I think the percentage of adults with it is about 0.1%. Of course it’s nowhere near the numbers of lactose intolerance.
The problem is a legitimate one of poretz geder, as the frum community in NY/NJ has successfully upgraded it’s kashrus standards in recent times so that kosher restaurants that are non-shomer shabbos are the rare exception even those owned by goyim! (I can point out many examples of the latter particularly in Manhattan.) This is to my mind a wonderful development as it highlights the holistic nature of yiddishkeit rather than the pick a mitzvah approach after all what is kashrus without Shabbos and Yom Tov and 613 Torah Avenue?
Where is there poretz geder? If a non-jewish establishment wants to stay open on shabbos and the Rav Hamachshir determines that even on shabbos he can provide the halachic mandated level of supervision, there is no problem.
Why not? The message we’re sending out is that if one of our own gets in trouble we will do whatever is possible to free them.
A few yaers ago Mike wrote “I wanted folks who glibly compared someone else to Hitler or to Nazis to think a bit harder about the Holocaust.” I won’t link to it because it’s on a site that the mods probably wouldn’t want a link to.
Mike Godwin was right.
ok a strange flavor combo but after all it is yom KIPPER
Luckily I’ve never had kipper scented snuff.
On the other hand I know of no other program that gives a portion of the proceeds to tzedokah whenever you buy from ChristmasCardsDirect.
Sounds like a BHO that checks what URLs you are visiting and if it for a vendor that has an affiliate program it just adds them as the referer. Definately not something I’d want from an anonymous site with a vauge privacy policy.
Why no Bracha?
Because the smell doesn’t come from the tobacco.

What happened was there was a guy in his shul that had mistakenly brought a karbon todah and offered some of it to him.
i plan to email them with the kapitlach that my Shul is noheg to say so they can make a Machzor just for us. my muscles are getting sore from all that page turning and trying to support such a heavy Machzor. i just cant figure out why they would include kapitlach that i am not noheg to say.
Once completed, you can use the Open Siddur Project to create a siddur based on your shul’s minhagim.
There’s always the Faraday cage option.
That’s because the ban against bathing suits in shul / the bais is taken seriously, because we know where we stand on the issue.
None of the shuls that I frequent have signs posted regarding bathing suits (but one of them has a sign that the sliach tzibur must wear socks).
I think shuls should install cell phone jammers (as long as they can get FCC approval).
Mods:
If you need to delete an origional post but leave the thread open it would be better to edit out the contents of the post rather than delete it, otherwise readers will see the first response and think it is the origional post.
My understanding is everyone that is mentioned (I heard in the Gemara) is on the Madreiga that they could have been mechaye meisim if necessary.
Based on Megillah 7B and Sanhedrin 90B, I’d say that the Amoraim in general were not nessasarily capable of Techiyas Hameisim and that Rabba was exceptional in this regard.
How would you know if someone is able to do techiyas hameisim if they haven’t actually done techiyas hameisim?
I don’t see any residency or citizenship requirements.
Who can participate in the We the People platform?
Anyone 13 or older can create or sign a petition on WhiteHouse.gov. In order to participate in the We the People platform on WhiteHouse.gov, users must create a WhiteHouse.gov account and verify their email address.
Some of the people who started OU were from JTS.
I think you’re confusong the Agudath Harabonim (Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and Canada) with the OU (Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America).
The Yaale v’Yavo for Yom Kippur is not usually found in bentchers but can be found in any YK machzor in the Shemoneh Esrei.
But the Yaaleh Veyovoh in Shmoneh Esrei includes the word “Melech” which some omit in Birchas Hamazon.
I was breezing through nach and came to a part that says israel won’t have mitzrayim and assyria (turkey?) As allies before moshiach comes
Turkey is Hittite, Ninawa is Assyria.
squeak,
The Beis Yaakov of Krakow was founded about a decade after the Mishnah Brurah was completed.
I wonder if people are confusing AMEX points with AA Miles.
You can cash in AMEX points for a ticket on El-Al, but you cant cash in AA Miles for El-AL
According to AA’s site you can.

ElAl doesn’t fly from Brooklyn.
The link rule is one that seems to enforced differetly depending on which mod reviews your post.
A better solution is to configue the forum software not to create links or allow the A tag.
Depends on the link.
Gum ball I have a friend who also eats black eyed peas…. Whats the simian for it?
So their enemies get black eyes.
Is it better to allow a jewish child (who may or may not be a mamzer) to be raised as a non-jew?
Maybe we should go back to when only white christian landowners could vote.
I wonder how the responses would differ had the OP asked for Sara Hurwitz?
Try googling “was hitler jewish” and see what you come up with.
Who said Princess Diena was a gentile? Her mother was born a Rothchild. (Later changed her name to Roche before she married Earl Spencer).
The Roche family has been a family of Irish nobility since 1855 (and goes back even further).
Sam:
Wrong Hillel.
And no, our current listing of the Sidras presumably comes long after Hillel established the calendar.
Wasn’t the one year cycle established by Rav in Sura before Hillel established the calendar?
Tadir kodem only applies in instances where you will perform both acts.
I was once told that you follow the order for yom tov in this instance.
The issue I have heard with tuna is that when they catch them all together some Rabbonim are worried that you get dolphins mixed in and then they are all processed, chopped up, and canned without the dolphins ever being removed.
When purse seine fishing was first used to catch yellowfin tuna, fishermen would deliberately chase dolphins to get the yellowfin tuna that would swim among dolphins. I don’t know of any instance where canned tuna was contaminated by dolphin meat and I couldn’t find any referance of actual contamination.
Albacore does not swim among dolphins.
There is whole discussion about Tuna fish and why it’s not a problem what they eat and that it stays in their stomach, cuz of how long it takes them to bring up the nets and that it stomach is digesting its contents way after it has been caught enough time to digest everything. So Tuna shouldn’t be a problem LH”D.
Using nets to catch tuna is somewhat of a modern innovation, before the 1960s the majority of tuna was caught by hook and line. Even today not all tuna is caught in nets.
Do you really need an excuse to write litigiousness?
If you have ever learned to type, trying to use another keyboard would be foolish. Anyone who knows how to type can type without even looking at the keyboard. To try a different layout would be totally inefficient.
The first half of your post makes the rest of it irrelevant.
The designers of the QWERTY keyboard gave two reasond for their design. To the public they said that they distributed the popular letters across the keyboard to enable typists to quickly transition between keys. To the manufacturers they said that the distributed the letters so the keys wont jam.
The Dvorak keyboard is more efficient than a QWERTY keyboard but the public was already accustomed to QWERTY keyboards.
did you read the rules of the CR?
I have but generally don’t follow them. I’ve made enough posts that I usually know if a post will get past moderation and use that as my guide.
Mods: why don’t you just setup the site that URLs don’t automatically become wrapped in “A” tags?
