    I love the Samsung Q1. It’s a mix.

    Why is it TYW’s issue? Why should they be parenting your children? If you don’t want your kids seeing this then lock down your internet. Oy vey if you think TYW is an issue for todays children.

    Just get a Nextel/Mirs. In today’s age when most mobile providers offer unlimited, just call the other person.

    eric55:

    Some one paid for their tickets to go to kivrey tzadikim if they took a package for him. That package had drugs in it. The Japanese government is making an example out of them on their stance on drugs. I don’t know how that person klopped al chet on yom kippur.

    As some one mentioned above Hechshierim are very important. It is not clear cut here in Israel. Some of it has to do with politics. When I first came to Israel I saw that everything was written in Hebrew and coming from America I thought it was all Kosher. Ask people that you know in Israel what they eat. Lots of places that many people go to (such as Cafe Rimon) have a basic hechser (B’datz Yerushulayim Mehdarin). While I personally eat it many people in Israel wont. It seems that tourists will eat at such places “because everyone else does”

    This yes is shmitah. All the arbah minim are coming off of a shmitah year. Be carefull where you buy them.

    Renting a car may not be the best idea if you plan on going around the Yerushulayim area. Traffic in the charedi neighborhoods and other popular places are hard to drive in. It is good for going out of the city. Keep in mind that gas here is about $7.25 a gallon (you people in NYC have it easy…).

    The exchange rate for the dollar is not at its best. Make sure you trade at a trustworthy place. You can get the exchange rate by calling 078-818-7200 or from the US 646 335 0424.

    Enjoy your trip.

    I am lucky enough that my work gives me off on chol hamoed. Not everyone is that lucky. You need to speak to your rov and see what what he says. It may not just boil down to getting fired. It may be better to work then and take off another day so that you and your wife can have quality time. Not everything is black and white.

    Yes. This is why we have rabonim. To guide us in the right way. How many stories are there of people spending way beyond their means ? Some times they do not have a choice. Some times “the other side” demands it. If families were able to fall back on a taknah it will help klal yisroel as a whole.

    I think it is all a matter of how it is done. I only had one Rebbe that when he hit use we knew it was out of love. I have the utmost respect for him. I think there are times for physical discipline however it must be done with the utmost care.

    It depends on a persons life style. Due to my schedule the only sleep I get is on Shabbos. I have it down to a science. It contains Red Bull (I looked in to it and was told that it was Kosher), Water and Coffee. I would say to cut back on it before you turn over to Red Bull.

    To be honest I think that any site which is riddled with advertisements should not be sending out email adverts as well. I don’t like the advertisements but then again it is a free service so I must live with it.

    On the other hand my ad blocking software removes all ad’s so I should really just opt in for them 😉
