I’d like it if mine had the words “Call me” added to the beginning.
Abba_S, that “Statement” forbids mamzerim from marrying into
Klal Yisrael. The only explanation I came up with for your post is that
everyone is a safek mamzer, but we marry because otherwise we couldn’t have children. Once we have children, we shouldn’t marry again because we could be (or marry) a mamzer. Is that what you meant? (I hope not, because I’m pretty sure that’s some high-caliber nonsense I just made up. I also hope you can explain yourself, because many tzaddikim are known to have remarried at an advanced age.)
I stand corrected.
I think I was thinking of “Moishele the Water Carrier”
(although I probably should’ve added a smiley to the post).
IIRC, it’s about a rov who convinced an elderly man to start
putting on tefillin. He told him that the posuk says that our
lives are 70 years (“y’mei sh’noseinu shiv’im shana”), and so
83 could be considered a second bar mitzvah for 13 years of a
second lifespan. Therefore, it would be fitting for him (late 82)
to start putting on tefillin as a boy does when he’s approaching
bar mitzvah, and if he would do so, the rov would make him a bar
mitzvah seudah when he became 83. And so it happened.
(I don’t remember where I read the story, but it was probably
in a volume of Visions of Greatness or of the Maggid series.)
By the way, what games did you have in mind?
(WinnieThePooh’s post doesn’t apply to any “Chabad” person
who talks to you about “davening to the Rebbe,” though.)
We must stand for a 70-year-old gentile.
So you’re 78? (Does anyone know the story?)
Should I be surprised at the absence of Shlomo Carlebach quotes?
I don’t know if we’re great minds, Meno, but we think alike. 🙂
Have you seen a psak against speeding, or turning without signaling?

There are only 4 Google results for
I'm cooking eggs want some(with quotes),and one of them is this page.
I don’t know if board games are a good idea on a date.
The ones that are more about interaction generally aren’t good for
2 people, and the thinky ones aren’t good for personal interaction
(also, if one player is obviously better than the other, the experience probably won’t be a pleasant one for the latter, and games designed specifically for 2 players tend to be confrontational, which might not fit the atmosphere of a date).
Additionally, your date may not like games in general or the one(s)
you’ve picked out specifically. If you’ve had good experiences with bringing games on dates, though, let us know.
(It sounded like she was assuming BigGolem to be
a girl and telling “her” not to go to Queens.)
Perhaps both of you could e-mail the mods a video of
yourselves to verify that you are as you say you are?
He is using the very user-name he supposedly gave his wife – that makes no sense!
Actually, this is supposed to be the one he didn’t give his wife. We’re not told what the one his wife knows is.
If my husband comes on here people probably wouldnt know were married since wed probably be so different.
“Hey, you’re so much like Whatsisname! Are you married to him?”
-No one ever?
It looks like the end of the first post is missing:
This is why so many rabbonim and roshei yeshiva are urging their
mispallelim/talmidim not to date and use an alternative path instead.
And now it’s changed again.
You can’t stop people from eating treif either. But if someone suggests the possibility of eating a Big Mac you ought to object. Same idea about suggesting the possibility of interfering with Pru U’rvu.
They’re not talking about not being yotzei their chiyuv, Joseph.
(Or rather, their husband’s chiyuv.)
“lilmod ulelamaid – They dont like kids neither do i. Do i still want at least 15? yes.”
huh? You don’t like kids but you want at least 15? What?
I guess she wants them for the mitzvah. Either that, or she figures she’ll like her own kids, or start liking kids in general once she has her own.
Rabbiofberlin, I think he was probably joking.
It’s a play on the glass saying.
I was talking about the mod’s response to B1g B0y.
(The posts between mine and his weren’t visible at the time).
An engineer says, “The glass is twice as large as it needs to be.”
I met someone who told me that before she got divorced she was very judgmental of people who got divorced.
It’s been my experience, though in less serious matters,
that I often end up in the same situations as those I’ve
been judgmental towards. Something to keep in mind…
Was the story in Mishpacha? I’m sure I saw it in print somewhere.
I wonder if that was deliberately taken out of context.
The word “gothic?” Black nail polish fits into the gothic aesthetic;
they don’t share your opinion that it’s not pretty.
(Just wearing black nail polish doesn’t create a gothic look, though.)
I think Lightbrite has a point about black standing out less on
someone with dark skin, and don’t understand how “tznius runs
deeper than aesthetics” applies to a question about aesthetics.
Lehavdil like how Jews wear black to a levaya the goyim wear it to remind them of death.
Huh? It’s non-Jews who wear black to levayos. We wear black all the time. 🙂 More seriously, black symbolizes mourning for Jews as well as for Western civilization – there’s a Gemara about how people weren’t allowed to lace their sandals in black, because it would appear to be presumptuously proclaiming one’s mourning for the Beis haMikdash.
Kol Nidrei cannot annul promises made to another person.
That sounds like you’re assuming they meant only that the Torah
permits starting a war to capture Eretz Yisrael from another nation.
I remember reading somewhere that the people who made the $24 sale didn’t own the land, and it later had to be bought from the actual owners.
Rav Avigdor Miller says that Adam’s genetic material was
diverse enough to eventually produce all of the races.
You should note that … humans who look “different” … produce children with characteristics from both parents, which further supports my argument that physical differences are negligible.
I don’t think that’s a good argument. Animals from different
species also produce offspring with traits of both parents –
that doesn’t mean that there’s no real difference between the species.
“And why are their faces not identical? So that a man not see a beautiful house or a beautiful woman and say “It is mine.” As it is written, “And he will withhold from the wicked their light, and shatter an upraised arm.”
Rashi:
“And say ‘It is mine.'” And no one could contradict him,
for there would be no way to distinguish between them.
“”And he will withhold from the wicked their light.” The shine of his face’s countenance. And because of this, that the lights of their countenances will not be identical to those of their fellows, “He will shatter an upraised arm,” for he cannot say “It is mine.”
The thread does not appear to reflect that statement.
Think about it…
Even some regular Oreos are not DE, and yours don’t
have that on the packaging, presumably for a reason.
Actually, it is pointless to make a new topic – then there are 2 threads on the same subject. (I think the CR rules state that you should not create a new thread if one already exists, although no one really cares about that.)
It’s a joke.
The prohibition is not for you to see it, but for it “to be seen”
on your property, that is, to be there (even if you don’t eat it).
Lilmod, if you like Clue for the logic, you should enjoy Sleuth.

My father uses Listerine, so I’d assume it’s kosher. (I’ve heard
that using such mouthwashes increases risk of oral cancer.)
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism, which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women. The company is issuing this recall out of an abundance of caution.
Eh. Seeing as no one in my family has a weakened immune
system, and we’ve already eaten some of our hummus with no
apparent effects, we’re not going to be throwing ours out.
You can argue whether the cast should or should not have done it,
but the terms Trump used to describe it were certainly exaggerated.
If everyone around you expects you to get married by meeting
someone on your own, they may not be thinking about suggesting
anyone for you to meet, and they certainly aren’t speaking to
shadchanim. You didn’t mention any effort you are making yourself
to meet anyone or seek out suggestions, either. Under those
circumstances, it is to be expected that “nothing is happening.”
Yes, spaces in a person’s name must be replaced with dashes, e.g.:

If you look on Amazon at the Compact Edition of Catan, you can see
“Includes 2-Player Rules!” on the front. The original rules were not
meant for 2 players. (There are a number of fan-made variants for
2 players. There are also a card-game version of Catan which is
meant for 2-4 and a specifically 2-player card game version.)
My friend’s kids love the game, Settlers of Cattan. I asked her if a young couple would like it, and she said that her married son and daughter-in-law always play it.
That’s strange, seeing as Settlers of Catan is for 3 or 4 players only.
