Naming names of a particular yeshiva is tricky, because we each have a different definition of what “yeshivish / heimish ” is.
Do what we did. Go to the 4 schools that 4th-5th grade kids in your shul go to, and see what the landscape looks like.
See who does the pick up on Sundays at dismissal time. We found that to be VERY indicative of the flavor, and by checking out the older grades, you can get an idea of what you can expect down the road.
Its more productive than YouTube / safer than Facebook (and just as addictive!)
Charlie H had the best suggestion. If the story is true, the menahel should be called to a Din Torah. If the menahel fails to appear, then the name can be publicized (but from my experience, boys (good, bad or otherwise) don’t get tossed on the 1st offense.
If you think they need a day off, give it to them. No one should question a parent’s call in a case like this
But, IMHO, you should take them to the one in BP.. (the Twins will be there!)
Never mind. Louis Armstrong. I got it.
Know the song, did not know it was part of the “guide”
Can someone please clue me in? I googled THHGTTG, got “The hitch hikers guide to the galaxy” and am totally baffled.
And I was around in ’78!
Help?
Sounds simple, and it is a beautiful language, but till you get to letters like ches /chof, tes / tof, vais / vov straight, it can drive teacher and student to a standstill.
Not to mention, when the choilem over the vov is an oiy, (99% of the time) and when is a voi (like Mitzvois). Or my all time fav, when a pasach ches is chah (99% of the time) and when it ach (like Noiach)
Been there, so I know. Once you’ve got it, its poetry. Till you get it, its a tough ride.
Thanks for the revival AYC. Great puns!
Sunday? Sure. Why wouldn’t they be?
Not that it matters; my ‘do is maintained at home. (helps if you don’t have a chup to deal with 🙂
Is there any way to do so on Thursday night? Friday is a tight squeeze for me.
It might also be the onset of arthritis. It seems to be knocking on my front door, and I’m pretty active. Go figure.
Still, feeling pain is a sign that you’re alive, so take it in stride!
One word: Haircut!
Yes. As long as its not red. (unless you call it something else, like mootchie goochie (gucci?). Then, anything goes!
(sorry you asked for it)
This, from a moto-fashionista, who sees the art in half sleeves?
Who’da thunk?
Ask him on date 3 (or 4), but ask the one he broke off with before you even date. It might be for a dumb reason (his mother serves Shalesh Seudos on plastic plates), and its the kind of thing that you could give two hoots about.
Then again, he might be Freddy Kruger’s understudy, so you might want to bring along running shoes!
Oh, and GOQ.. great puns, but this is nothing to joke about. I mean, we’re talkin’ frummer-than-frum on a totally new level!
Not to worry; we can always set him up with a girl from one of the “B” sems, who “just” drink cholov y.
And IMHO, if he needs to choose one or the other, Shmeel’s milk is def the way to go. (after all, there are dozens of black hatters in BMG, but how many of them are makpid on Shmeel’s?)
Talk about niche marketing!
Believer has the right attitude. You’ve just gotten one step closer to the right one.
“boys should have the decency to turn away as i leave the car”
Ever consider the possibility they are scopin’ out the car?
Depending on the model, that might be the case!
I did not hear the story, so thanks for sharing!
I can only vouch for the male cows!
Each and every day, summer and winter. There is always something in nature that amazes me. From things as grand as a sweeping view of a terrific vista, to as easily missed as a tiny red bug that is as small as the dot at the end of this sentence.
For those intrested in bugs, I think they are called Clover Mites. Really small, not sure what they do, but as amazing a creation as the 5000 lb hippo.
What a world Hashem made!
TLC –
First of all, Congradulations! Losing weight (and keeping it off) is lots of hard work. Good for you!
You seem to have the right attitude and right methods. The only thing I would add is try to only eat things you make from scratch, and if you need to eat prepared food, aim for things made with 5 ingredients or less. That should keep your options wide enought that you don’t starve, yet not get you into trouble.
And again, congrats!
This just in:
When grilling the potential candidate, forget about the cholov stam vs. cholov yisroel yardstick. Wanna go for pure 24k gold?
Ask if they are makpid on Shmeel’s milk. Ijust spotted the ad in Torah times. ($7.50, 1/2 gal)
And what do you get for $7.50 (that you don’t get from chovlov yisroel’s already premium price)?
Milk from grass fed cows (ho hum)
Free ranging cows (again, ho hum)
Mashgichim who daven with minyan 3x/day and go to mikvah each morning (now, THATS worth a premium!)
So to all those uber-yeshivish, super-duper chassidish folks out there, are you REALLY doing all you can do?
For $7.50, you can get one step closer!
The rules have changed!
Thats because marrieds have TONS to kvetch about, whereas the singles live a life of never-ending fun and games! (not to mention loads of flex time)
Just wait till you’re married, Sac. Oiy, will the kvetching reach epic proportions!
You know, of course, this title is going to be a MAGNET for all the teens and tweens in the CR.
While tehillim is always a good investment (and something I try to say daily) I agree with Goq and Sac.
“older single ” is when you’ve given up hope, or are being ureasonable.
As long as you are in the game, you are bound to be a winner. (The odds and satistical evidence are in your favor, not to mention the zivug with your name on it.)
Shouldn’t it be based on their philosophy, their approach to yahadus or their feelings about what brings you closer to HKBH?
Good point, but that would mean incorporating their philosophy into your day-to-day. And in all likelyhood, your own approach is working just fine for you. As well it should.
I’m talking about the momentary effect, like going to a concert or a ball game. It doens’t make you a different person, but for the moment, you enjoy the experience.
Oh, c’mon Wolf. There must have been one experience you had that was head and shoulders above the rest. One tish, where you really got into the zemiros, or one mitzva tanz which brought tears to your eyes.
Not to say the other are not with their merits, but surely one time that you really connected with?
you don’t mind the pain (almost) anymore.
Yeah. Just like when the pediatrician said, “this will only hurt a little bit”.
Yeouch!
If I really had to choose, I’d go for the wax. The idea of standing still, one pluck at a time is enought to make a grown man cry.
Waah!
I almost believed you, MS. Even up to the red nail polish, I was keeping an open mind.
But when I got to the “brothers and dad coming to graduation”, I knew you were only joking!
Another dead giveaway? KJ is from the most open minded of the Satmer clan (helps being a stones throw from Woodbury Commons!)
Oberlender types? I knwow them well. If fact, VERY well. And the right yeshiva to try is <not naming names, but there are 1/2 a dozen to pick from in BP / Flatbush, both for boys and girls>
Vayoel Moshe or Bais Ruchel? or Bnei / Bnos Tzion? Or Kehillas Yaakov?
An ice cube stands a better chance on the blech.
Regardless of the questions or the answers, be sure to talk to the goyta.
She will know the TRUTH about what goes on in the house.
Satmar never stressed levush for men. … trimmed beards, even no beards; shtreimels, no shtreimels.
You must be talking about the post-WW2 people, who were accepted as they are (and truthfully, no one can judge them). Or gevirim / kids of gevirim who are accepted, as long as they bring their wallet.
But a newcomer today? Trying to register in yeshiva? Forget it. Unless you want to be a Tuna. Even then, I doubt they would take in the kids.
Yes, I see many trimmed beards, and many sheers (with seams, of course).
But this is not what Rabenu Yoel Ztl had in mind. Sorry, I’m too old to buy into the new crop you see walking the street that passes for a chossid.
Wanna join? Do so like you mean it!
