That profile’s gotten more interesting since the last time I read it. 🙂
yeshivishe kup – original: ??
Currently links to –
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/profile/yeshivishekup – but there’s nothing there, nor at that address with the space put in.
?????“Rabbit’s-foot” keychains.
“What happened to the CR?” is probably a valid question once
every few months. There are constants, and some carryover from
one period to the next, but eventually the environment changes
enough that it sort of doesn’t quite feel the same. (Am I wrong?)
I only know Yisrael David Finkelstein.
I’m sure I’ve seen a thread about this
before, and probably not too long ago…
It makes me uncomfortable talking to men if
I don’t even know if they are married or not.
But once you know it’s one or the other,
do you then become equally comfortable?
If not, which situation is more comfortable?
Me: In English, “tz” is sounded as tzaddi-sin, not tzaddi-shin.
Correction: It is, of course, sounded as tes-shin. (Also, how
they would read “tzitzis” would’ve been a better question.)
Yes, but CA wanted to use it for when you’ve done something wrong.
And who do you endorse in this year’s election, Mr. Jerusalem?
That’s one of the funniest posts I’ve seen in a while.
Superb. Utterly superb.
Why, thank you! 🙂
I understand now… (That’s what happens
when all you know is that it was his sled.)

thats the MAIN reason why im becoming a

I hope you are not setting yourself up for disappointment.
Have you discussed this with anyone? (Please don’t take
my personal pessimism too seriously, though.)
So mechiras Yosef is justified, but Yaakov will be distressed to
hear of it, so misleading him is justified in order to spare him.
This doesn’t mean that if you do something actually wrong, it’s okay
to lie about it because hearing about it will distress the other person.
What do you say to that, Coffee Addict?
In English, “tz” is sounded as tzaddi-sin, not tzaddi-shin.
(How would you and he spell “tzitzis?”)
What’s the reason to be nice only to older males?
iacisrmma, I’m looking at you.
(This is probably one of the best thread titles to ever hit the CR.)
Did our forefathers daven dressed as prescribed here,
by Rav Kanievsky, or anyone else?
That’s irrelevant, and that should be obvious.
Did [how they dressed] impact on their tefilos?
[…]
But unless you want to condemn those who you have no right condemning for doing it differently, please be less insistent about the practice of others when they are davening and talking to their God.
Whatever relativism you want to push, you cannot avoid the fact
that there are halachos about one’s manner of dress for tefillah,
whether you personally think it enhances one’s davening or not.
The subject is not an empty field to run around in.
As for you, Joseph…
A Yid should be wearing his hat anytime he’s on the street
and, in general, it should always be part of his uniform.
Depending on what community you come from, that could sound
anywhere from perfectly reasonable to totally off-the-wall.
Something may have been forgotten:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/profile/hashtagposter
Hashtags are not pointless… except, of course, when they are
used in a medium in which they do not function and from which
they will not spread to any medium in which they do.
otherwise this place would be like all other chats
A “modified chat room” is not a place to have a “conversation”.
A forum is not a chat room, not even a modified one
(although “moderated chat room” was probably intended).
I’m surprised no one’s brought up whether long hair
draws attention to its owner, and if this should be
a factor in whether it is considered tzanua or not.
Thanks for the laughs, RebYidd!
It's also a problem for women to be somewhere where there is pritzus. I have heard in the names of both Rav Pincus and Rav Matisyahu Salomon, yibadel l'chaim that it is more of a problem for women to see inappropriate things than men.I don’t think that applies to women simply seeing
other women in swimwear. (The post was in response
to the suggestion that a mother go to a water park;
with regard to beaches, there might be the possibility
of such an issue.)
Seriously, I know a totally blind boy who would love to go to a water park. There's no problem of him seeing women who aren't tznius, but who can go with him?A. What makes him better than sighted boys who would enjoy a water park?
(That is, why worry about him being able to go more than we do anyone else?)
B. A sister (or, as Meno would have it, mother) comes immediately to mind.
C. What about mar’is ayin?
“Atmosphere” does not only mean how the people are dressed, although it often correlates with how they are acting. Would you take your kids to a nightclub?
apushatayid – that’s why I wonder if it’s appropriate to take a blind boy to a water park
Just what do you think goes on at water parks,
which, unlike nightclubs, are a family venue?
in lakewood BMG there is no bein Hazemanim. as soon as tisha b’av
is over they give you a danish & then start yarchei kalla.
If I’m not mistaken, the Yarchei Kallah is not intended for the avreichim.
#PoesLaw

Heh.
#pallas??? (NE, perhaps you could quote the Scriptures instead of the Script?)
If something interferes with your ‘deeply held
principles’, then it should be abolished, regardless
of how sensible it may be. This isn’t a joke.
How far does my right to abolish things for this reason extend, yekke2?
You guys are hilarious. I actually started typing up a
serious response to your first post, NeutiquamErro.
I don’t have a kosher phone, and I see nothing wrong with that.
(I do see something wrong with the surrounding circumstances,
but this isn’t the thread for that.)
I lock up all the apps which I can't delete IE: maps.Why would you lock Maps?
A smartphone is a phone with Internet capability.That doesn’t sound right to me (I could easily be wrong, though).
Who cares. Just have a normal phone and use it in a kosher way.You shouldn’t leave yourself the possibility in hand. Also,
there’s the issue of appearing to be part of the smartphone
“culture,” and how it looks to your kids. (Or some such.)
apushatayid:
I didn't realize one could be hurt or insulted by Mr. Or Mrs. Anonymous.If someone insults you, but you don’t know who they are, it doesn’t hurt?
Don't we rule that damages for "boshes" are determined by the social standing of the embarrassed party and the one doing the embarrassing?That is not the same thing.
Do random anonymous internet people even make
the bottom rung of the ladder of social standing?This is a specific social setting which has its own standings,
which are real whether halachically relevant or not.
Who was that guy?
We don’t know, but we think he is a known poster under another name.
He showed up a while ago posting many short nonsense threads about running, not being able/willing to stop, etc, which really annoyed people.
He (was?) stopped, and has since made only small-scale appearances.
That might depend on just how far to the right you are.
(I might have used “right wingtip” sometime in the past.)
What a difference one letter makes.
Little, who appointed you king?Did you mean “chumra king?”
Was there a series of such “today’s recipe” threads back in the day?
What is “the koach of tziva,” and why would we do
things “for tziva?” (Sounds kind of like a”z…)
Back!
Where are the threads with all this drama, anyway?
I’ve been off for about a week.
In the old days, Joseph was notorious for his multiple screen names.
(Recently bumped example: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/brides-wedding-vow-to-obey-husband – Ctrl+F for Joseph.
Both then and now, Joseph has a reputation for being
likely the most right-wing poster on the Coffee Room.
Too much information about grievances against specific posters that leaves little room for doubt about whom you are speaking is a serious halachik issue
So the question of saying negative things about
a poster has been paskened, and it’s a problem?
“what here qualifies as motzi shem ra?”
Midvar sheker tirchak- never tell a lie
Did anyone watch the chofetz chaim video on tisha b’av?
It eventually became clear that he was questioning the truth of the story.
(At least, I think that’s what happened here.) Claiming that the story was
false is claiming that its presenters were lying.
What if the case was worse than just a restaurant?
Q: “If I did something bad, whats the right thing to do?”
A: Oh, you’re concerned about the right thing, are you?!
I’ll bring you a counter proof:
The shefatim when they brought Yosef’s cloak didn’t say your son died rather they said is this your sons cloak to which Yaakov said a wild animal are him up
How about a source that that was the right thing to do?
The question about what a lazy person would do isn’t about what’s
actually harder, but what lazy people would imagine to be harder.
I must remind myself not to judge. These must be
closed communities who know nothing of the outside world.
I wasn’t aware that our lives are meant to be influenced
by the outside world. Please don’t judge me for it, though.
Thread titles can apparently get cut off depending
on what’s in them (like an overdose of punctuation).
“…because guys making the girls wait”
They don’t make them wait.
How is that unclear? (And then “they” remains the same.)
It sounds like she may be quitting the CR, that’s all.
