I heard that it was determined to be a hoax.
A clarification was printed in this (the following) week’s Voice
stating that the story did not take place in Lakewood.Nice one, RebYidd.
When someone wants people to post whether hechsherim require their
shochtim to have a beard, what additional context is needed for that quote?There was a guy in a yeshiva I was in who would tell the story of a mashgiach walking in on a bachur lounging on the floor, a beer in hand and a Ketzos haChoshen propped up on his legs. “Yanky,” he said to him, “that’s no way to learn a Ketzos.” “No, Rebbi,” the bachur replied, but it’s a great way to drink a beer.”
Even the best bochurim chill and drink beer bein hazmanim.
Unless things have changed from my days, I don’t think this is true.
(I am, to be sure, more than 20 years old.)“My father taught me that one schechts with one’s chalaf, not with one’s beard.”
-R’ Yisrael Levovitz (son of the Mirrer Mashgiach, Reb Yerucham),
as quoted in Lieutenant Birnbaum(Sounds like a troll to me.)

That was before we were exiled.Yes, it was probably “flavored.”

Can you name some that you consider good ones?
A lot.
Wikipedia:
Most writing on the egg cream assumes that it originated in New York City and most often that it originated among Eastern European Jewish immigrants. This has led to a variety of claims meant to explain the widely noted paradox that the New York City egg cream is made with neither eggs nor cream.One theory is that grade “A” milk was used in its creation, leading to the name “a chocolate A cream”, thus sounding like ‘egg’ cream. Stanley Auster, the grandson of the beverage’s alleged inventor, has been quoted as saying that the origins of the name are lost in time. One commonly accepted origin is that “Egg” is a corruption of the German (also found in Yiddish) word echt (“genuine” or “real”) and this was a “good cream”.
Food historian Andrew Smith writes: “During the 1880s, a popular specialty was made with chocolate syrup, cream, and raw eggs mixed into soda water, In poorer neighborhoods, a less expensive version of this treat was created, called the Egg Cream (made without the eggs or cream).”
Darcy S. O’Neil, author of the book Fix the Pumps, a historical look at soda fountains, claims that the “New York Egg Cream” is a variation of the original milkshake served at soda fountains throughout America in the late 19th century.
Around 1885 the milkshake became a popular item at soda fountains. Unlike today’s thick, ice cream-like consistency, the original milkshakes were made with sweet cream (sometimes frozen as “ice cream”), a whole egg, flavored syrup, and soda water. The egg, cream, and syrup were shaken in a cocktail shaker until light and frothy, then poured into a glass where the soda water was added.
“With a nickel, you were rich / You could buy a red-hot knish
Or a chocolate-covered egg cream full of foam”
(At least, I think the lyric was “chocolate-covered” –
egg creams are liquid, so it doesn’t seem to make sense.)I’m from a generation that knows egg cream only as
a thing that was mentioned in a Shmuel Kunda song.I read an article a few months ago about the Russian domesticated red fox
(although I don’t think it used that name for them). It was fascinating.Actually, they’re not all called parodies. Some
have no (easily observable) humorous intent.Let’s face it: most Jewish music nowadays comes straight from goyishe songs
People like to say that, but I’m pretty sure it’s statistically untrue.
I don’t think these books were meant for children to begin with…
They’re certainly violent. A comment on a book website’s page for one mentioned
that it was more gruesome than the series usually was – interpret that how you will.Are they good? On this one I assume yes, because there are an awful lot of books in this series.
That means they sold well, not that they’re good.
Alternatively, you can attempt the appreciation of classical music.
Get some friends together and explore a few modern board games.
This can be somewhat expensive (especially if you have to buy the friends).Who?
Huju, you’re probably thinking of >this< post.
I’ve heard about Tiananmen Square, and it was probably from liberals…
The correct link is also featured above the Latest Coffee Room section (on the top right of each page).
I don’t know if they’re under-rated, but I like Camp Sdei
Chemed’s “Around the Shabbos Table” zemiros albums.Offer every terrorist or potential terrorist a comfortable life of luxury if he refrains from terrorism.
Your suggestion is insulting to terrorists.
Love conquers all (EH 165:4)
Seems legit.
Exactly my thought
Sorry about that – the article was written in a way that made
it sound like Kushner was doing something else at the time.(I don’t know why you put through the misguided post accusing Joseph of being the author, mods.)
Jared demonstrated his “menschlakite” when he arrives in Israel
and goes straight to a Shiva house to show his background.According to a newspaper I recently read, it was Jason Greenblatt,
not Jared Kushner, who visited the policewoman’s family.What about the fact that there is no civil divorce in Israel?
I never thought of that, despite knowing that Israel has no civil marriage laws.
So do people go to other countries to get divorced as well?It’s one of those things I thankfully was not
there at the time to have to make a decision.Are we to understand that had you been there, you would
have been among those asked to make that decision? :pI copied it from the publisher’s website, having
first seen much of it on the actual boxes IRL.That was not the picture I posted, although the two are somewhat similar.
I’d be surprised if anyone has a way to put white
powder in your hair without turning it white.(Thumbs up for computer humor, RebYidd.)
I don’t quote that sort of thing by name, do I?
Also, Donald Trump is a “mius celebrity.”(Despite that song’s title, that band I recently attempted to quote
was not Christian, assuming that’s what you mean by tumadig.)
