Guess again – I already guessed “e”
brooklyn,
I echo what others have said before that I hope everything thats getting you down works itself out soon and you feel better and happier. Sorry if I offended you.
qwerty,
mod72 is probably modding xtra fast tonight so that the editor shouldn’t accept your suggestion and get more mods. Noone like competition. 🙂
in that last line are you thanking yourself for typing that smiley face? Its one thing to talk in 3rd person but to thank yourself?
IYH we’ll get the good news at the right time. You will let us all know wont you?
moishele,
sounds like you’re starting to like it here, right? before u know it we’ll cast our spell and then you’ll never break your addiction to the CR, lol.
busy with what? sorry, couldn’t resist.
hey brooklyn
welcome back! where you been?
squeak,
oh, you don’t need a boost fo self esteem? oh, in that case I retract that statement.
squeak,
the funny thing is that its actually true. If you overperform then next time more is expected and its very likely you will be underperforming even if you aren’t working less hard.
I didn’t have much time to prepare, but here’s a short vort I saw. I don’t have a chumash in front of me so if I am misquoting, I would appreciate being corrected.
In this weeks parsha, Parshas Vayechi, we find that after Yaakov Avinu was niftar, on the way to his burial in Eretz Yisroel, the mitzrim mourned him in Goren Ha’atad. The pasuk continues that the kna’ani saw the Egyptian mourning in Goren Ha’atad and said this is a great mourning for Egypt.
The Kli Yakar asks what the importance of goren ha’atad was and why did the fact that the mourning took place there cause the Kna’anim to take notice? He answers that the words Goren Ha’atad means a food storage silo which is surrounded by thorns. He goes on to explain that the seven years of hunger had been cut short after just 2 years when Yaakov had come down to Mitzraim. Now that Yaakov was niftar and therefore his zchus was no longer there, the famine resumed. When the Egyptians came to this goren, this food storage silo, they saw that it had miraculously become surrounded by thorns and there was no way to enter it and access the food inside. The famine had returned. That was when they realized that the famine had been halted in Yaakov’s zchus and they began to mourn the loss of this tzadik in who’s merit they had had food.
He continues to explain that not just in the case of Yaakov avinu and the Egyptian famine but always in all times and all generations the bracha of parnassa comes to the world in the zchus of tzadikim. The gemara brings down that one of the amoraim said that the entire world is fed in the zchus of my son chanina.
squeak,
most of your posts are hilarious. very sharp.
squeak, I was literally LOL. I nominate that for the post of the day.
joseph, he should betray the other guy.
If he is silent he will either get 6 months (if the other guy is also silent) or 10 years (if his friend betrays him).
If he betrays his friend, his minimum goes down to no jail time (if the other guy is silent) and his maximum goes down to 5 years (if the other guy betrays).
so his choice is to have a range of 6 months to 10 years or to have a range of zero to 5 years.
But boy is that prosecutor unfair, lol.
flatbush27,
your story reminds me of the fellow who, a couple of years ago, sued the city where he lives because a city vehicle pulled into his driveway and hit his car which was parked there. There was one catch – he is a city employee and he was the one driving the city vehicle at the time of the accident.
ooh, me and my big mouth, lol. OK, I’ll try BL”N.
Thanks
mod42,

I assigned the Wednesday night D’var Torah to you. YW Moderator-72
Joseph,
If being anonymous is so bad, why haven’t you yet posted your real name, address and phone number?
intellegent,
This place is totally and completely insanely wacked out!!!!! but you enjoy it anyway, don’t you? You can admit it!!! 🙂
Joseph,
why all the nasty attacks on brooklyn?
cheshvan and kislev?
Mayan_Dvash,
I think aniyai eretz yisroel are considered aniyai irchu
lesschumras,
ask your LOR.
ok I wasn’t kidding. you are the most brilliant one here.
thanks gavra. Based on that gemara I can certainly say I am neither a talmid nor a chacham. But thats not the standard I had originally meant, lol.
I went for pizza??? hmmm, maybe I was so drunk when I went there that I have no memory of it.
talk to the bartender!
shkoyach,
here’s a recap based on my memory. Everyone else please add whatever I missed, I’m sure I’m missing tons!
mod99 tried to eat too many donuts and ended up falling asleep on his couch and then needing a trip to south florida to recuperate.
curious became the official ywn artist.
I got drunk because I accidentaly thought it was purim and drank bourbon instead of eating latkes.
Brooklyn19 has become the life of the coffee room. And the most brilliant one here. (just kidding!!!)
There was very little mud slinging and flaming here, which is a good thing. I hope that continues.
everyone in the coffee room got together for an anonymous get together and chanuka party in a secret hidden bunker in Ireland.
lol again, 72!!! I want to be a mod!
lol. coffee has been sent. enjoy!
squeak, I was kidding. I meant Disney as in mickey mouse.
I tried starting a pre-purim party thread about 5 minutes after the chanuka party thread was closed. It wasn’t approved. 🙁
mod72,
if I email you a no-sugar 2% milk coffee will you let me start a purim thread?
Yes. Send the coffee now and submit the post on Rosh Chodesh Adar. YW Moderator-72 oh, the things you can do when you are a moderator :o)
oooh, I shoulda figured that out, Sherlock.
squeak,
cool. How did you know that? Did you have a link attached to one of your previous user names?
I think you should link your current name to disney.com
lkjhgfdsa,
my guess is that he typed html as his user name to make it that it should be a link to his website, but he misstyped it. The colon should have been before the slashes, not after. 🙁
blahblah,
The others on this thread seem very much to be but I definitely am not unfortunately. And that is really truly not just modesty, it is a fact. But hopefully one day I will be one.
brooklyn,
I’m so glad I made you feel complete. I’m sure that was a life changing experience, lol.
brooklyn,
I’m having a brain freeze now. (I told you yesterday that even brilliant ppl are allowed to once in a while, lol). I’m totally not getting why 299.
BTW I didn’t have an answer in mind, I just posted the question to test your theory that a joke aimed at them will bring them out of hiding, lol.
brooklyn,
now that you’ve been welcomed, get to work and start posting!!! You’re too quiet today and when you’re too quiet this CR is lifeless!
mod72, LOL.
Brooklyn you were right. it worked.
intellegent,
can you tell us what CCS stands for?
how many mods does it take to change a light bulb?
hey brooklyn,
welcome to the coffee room! So sorry you were never properly welcomed before! lol.
well then, here goes:
Welcome to the coffee room, blahblah!
Feel better? 🙂
intellegent,
Let me know when your self esteem is about to break thru the ceiling and then we’ll stop, lol.
gavra,
I agree with you what the shmaytza’a raya from the camel case is. I was trying to say the same thing but you said it clearer.
welcome aryeh.in.tenn!!!
why is it so quiet here today?
brooklyn,
sorry I didn’t mean to be mean. Seriously I understand that it takes work, not just repetaing it a million times and I’m glad you were able to do it. Keep it up.
On a lighter note, what’s wrong with a hangover? You can feel all better if you just drink some more, lol. Let the purim party begin, Beacon!
lkjhgfdsa,
how can u be mod 99 if I am mod 99?
yossiea,
I have to be moche for the kavod of Rav Shmuel Kamenetzky Shlita, and I hope you will call him and ask for mechila. There are not too many aveiros as big as being publicly mevazeh talmidei chachomim. And btw, he’s a really nice person and I’m certain he will be mochel you if you ask.
Yes, he said he made a mistake but I don’t believe for one second that he signed without reading it. He was probably taking the blame for himself to cover for someone else. Anyone who knows him personally will tell you that this is typical of him – to be mevater on his kovod to avoid someone else being embarrased. I’m sure that there is more to the ban than what the public is aware of.
However, even without all that, even if Rav Shmuel would have just had a lapse in judgement and made a mistake, to compare that to a klutzy cardiologist who kills one patient after the next????? Do you know how many issues that affect klal yisroel he is involved in? Do you know how many yeshivos, day schools and communities across the country come to him for advice, not to mention the countless individuals he helps? And not to mention all the harbotzas hatorah he has done for over 50 years bli ayon horah in the Philly Yeshiva which he started and runs? I’m scared to write all this because I’m certainly understating it – who am I to give a haskamah on a Gadol – but after your silly attacks, someone has to speak up to defend the kavod hatorah.
