@dial427463 – Aw, I remember hearing about that petition. Not sure why I never got around to signing it…. π
Good point, by the way – it is so much easier to take our concerns to the omnipresent King of the universe, not the human president of one country.
Signed! Thank you, charliehall, for setting that petition up.
@Sam2 – Okay. Thanks for the heads-up anyways about Hello Kitty!
@DaasYochid – That explains why the first product with Hello Kitty on it was a coin purse….
I think I’ll discuss this topic with my rabbi. π
@Sam2 – Also in E”Y, you can get tons of Hello Kitty merchandise for children, like yomanim and backpacks…. Considering that HK’s distant relative is actively worshiped, this may very well be a serious issue. Out of curiosity, do you have reason to think that other Sanrio characters, like Melody, a rabbit, and Keropi, a frog, may be idols, too?
@Sam2 – Whoa, no kidding. :O I thought it was Japanese, considering that Sanrio (the company that sells Kitty’s merchandise) is from Japan. And I’m pretty sure I’ve seen similar figurines that I believe were brought to America from Japan; I wasn’t sure if they were idols or simply cute little toys. *shivers*
I didn’t see dial’s answer when I wrote that; I think that’s a much better interpretation.
Sorcery in Harry Potter.
@Sam2 – Is it fair to deduce that Hello Kitty is avodah zarah because she resembles actual Japanese idols?
I think they’re looking for the answer, “I’ll do my part to end terrorism against Israel so kids don’t even have to work within five minutes to escape rocket fire.” I could send money to the right organizations to build more shelters or things like that, I could (theoretically) join up for the IDF to help protect the country, but … then what?
I’ll be happy to accompany the guitar player on my harmonica! π
128. Bookworm120? π
Blimey, I’ll be ‘appy to talk wiv’ an accen’ now. Where’s me proper fish an’ chips?
I’ll miss you and your posts! I commend you for making this decision; if anything changes, we’ll welcome you back with open arms!
According to Ramona Quimby, there’s something about a “dawnzer lee light…?”
Every day when you’re browsing the Coffee Room, everybody that you meet has an original point of view.
I like the idea of taking along a blanket to drape over the lap while pedaling these things. Might I also suggest getting leggings just to be on the safe side, too? (There are also sports skirts that have leggings sewn in, but I’ve never tried them so I can’t guarantee that they solve all the issues they’re trying to remedy.)
And I must say, in any case, riding a regular bicycle in most of the skirts made available to us is no fun. If a skirt’s too narrow at the knees, one can’t pedal, modestly or not, at all. Too loose and flared out, though, and the hem gets caught in the gears.

Amein!!!!
I step away from the CR for four hours and this update on the tragedy unfolds. I am WICKED angry at the monsters (that’s putting it mildly) who committed this heinous atrocity. My heart goes out to these innocent victims’ families.
I wish it didn’t take such a tragedy for such beautiful achdus to come about among our nation. I agree that we should keep it up regardless of the circumstances; then we’ll be even more worthy of rebuilding the third Beis HaMikdash.
In my opinion, what heavy metal (and its various subgenres) has become is simply awful noise. There’s the occasional artist who actually knows how to make discordant sounds and make it sound musical, but nowadays, most don’t.
I think the OP was simply saying, Rush is an example of a secular band where a member is Jewish; he wasn’t suggesting that Rush is categorized under the metal genre. Rush is and does rock. π
All I can say is, for those of you who want a change of the current scenery, mark your calendars for 2016.
I don’t pretend. π
Why is this categorized under salad dressings? π
I probably would’ve given it back to the cashier, but if that wasn’t possible for whatever reason, maybe I’d donate it. But … is it mine to donate?
I like coffee, but it makes my posts here in the Coffee Room seem way too animated. π
@oomis – My grandparents, of blessed memory, did a ton of cooking and baking during their lifetimes. I think the secret ingredient that made everything they prepared taste so amazingly delicious was their unconditional, grandparently love. I guess it’s an ingredient a chef acquires with time and generations (literally). π
F. π
I can tell you that I DON’T lick my fingers before I turn the pages. If I can’t get a good grip on a piece of paper, I just keep trying and get tons of papercuts. π
Mp3 Players with Radio = Lots of Static
@Mod42 – I think I’ve finally figured out how to parse that.
Some people don’t shower ever. They take baths instead. π
@MDG – ‘To quote Rav Shteinman about that, “Gayva Gayva Gayva”‘
Ditto! When I saw the video where R’Shteinman said that, he officially became my hero.
How about Wednesday the Second and Puglsey the First?
I guess they want guests to have a full, square meal at the wedding seudah…. π
@oomis – Yes I did! π
@streekgeek – Well said. π
@HaLeiVi – Hahaha! π
How about water?
Or apple juice?
Or hot chocolate?
Or iced tea?
@Shopping – What answer did I give you in your previous life? π
Kugelpatra.
Before you start laughing at my taste in names, remember this – when Bnei Yisrael were dwelling in Mitzrayim, we commend them for not giving their children Egyptian names, so it just didn’t seem right to make up an 100% Egyptian name for myself!
@rationalfrummie – It’s Hindi. π Kitabi is apparently “book” in Hindi, which makes sense, since the Hebrew word kotev (writing) is related to books…. It’s always cool to see how other languages may have been influenced by Lashon HaKodesh.
My Indian name is “Kit?b? k??? ?ka sau b?sa.”
My Native American name translates to “Worm who Reads too Much.” π
@PulsingFlower – Harpo Marx was Jewish. π
Ever heard of a Jewish bookworm? π
loll
I brought the popcorn and the Pringles. π
It could be that no photos were taken of the women presumably attending out of modesty, and the shots of the empty chairs were taken before the event started…. Or, maybe no women attended live and watched it streaming from their homes, presumably out of modesty.
….A song to sing. Nah, just kidding.
It all boils down to a want that all Jews to have unity with each other. I look forward to the day when it won’t just be my dream, but a dream come true.
Happy CR birthday, Shopping! π
I invited Queen Elsa over to my house. Soon enough, it began to snow in my den!
@oomis – Well said. π
@notasheep – +1How could he be a she? No, don’t tell me. The final answer is, impossible.
@Syag – Ingenious!
