____/MOD 72 – I can’t find a jar of glue. ;-( Can you help me out with that?
CuriousMemberAnd how about adding places where there are red-light-cameras.
CuriousMember😉 At least you have a sense of humor…
I’m still trying to think of an appropriate chanukah gift for Brooklyn19. Brooklyn, you gotta give me some ideas, cuz my last one was deemed inappropriate.
CuriousMemberOK. You’re right. I’ll try another one (I’ll be nice. I promise)

CuriousMemberintellegent – hmmm…
I’d need to lock myself in a quiet room, get out pen and paper, and start doing some serious introspection.
72 – I nominate asdf for divrei torah and for updating the Shmiras Halashon thread

SEPHARDI STYLE MENORAH
CuriousMemberasdf – can we make you in charge?
CuriousMember72 – whole wheat and sugar free. Awesome! Am I invited to your house?!?!
BTW, thats why I voted latkes, cuz they’re ww and sugar free. However, I still refrained form tasting any…
Brooklyn19 – Have fun. Just tell him no Brooklyn Marriott
December 21, 2008 9:19 pm at 9:19 pm in reply to: The Great Potato Latke vs Hamantaschen Debate —> VOTING IS CLOSED <— #933066CuriousMemberWell since I’m the one who challenged this isssue, I shoud defintiely get to decide. After all, you wouldn’t want to elect a winner and then have me challenge it. It would be kind of embarassing to the winner-elect to be dethroned.
December 19, 2008 7:34 pm at 7:34 pm in reply to: The Great Potato Latke vs Hamantaschen Debate —> VOTING IS CLOSED <— #933051CuriousMemberApparently just voting for “latke” is not enough, as you may be referring to zucchini or cheese latkes (yum!).
The rules said “Only votes for either the *Potato* Latke or the Hamantaschen will be posted”. Threfore, it looks like hamantashen are leading twenty to zero.
December 19, 2008 7:01 pm at 7:01 pm in reply to: The Great Potato Latke vs Hamantaschen Debate —> VOTING IS CLOSED <— #933045CuriousMemberLatkes!!!
CuriousMemberGood job 72.
99, you’re forgiven 😉
I figured if I threw in the emotional bit you’d pay attention. LOL
CuriousMemberI gave up on asking the moderators (I feel ignored).
I emailed the YW editor, who might be the same guy as the mod…
CuriousMemberLOL. That would give away my height! 😉
CuriousMember#3:
Quoted verbatim from GTT, pg 123
“It is a grave sin to say anything derogatory about Klal Yisroel (the Jewish People) as a whole.”
Very often words are pushed around, i.e. cheap, stingy, loud, etc..
Even if the comment is true, it is not allowed, as lashon hara refers to derogatory information that is true. If it’s false = motzei sheim ra.
BTW, I’m curious (I guess that’s why my user name is what it is) to know how many people are reading these halachos. Should we continue this? If so, suggestions to improve…
CuriousMemberNew Balance for motion control and stability, prevents overpronating.
CuriousMemberJoseph, apparently you’re on better terms with the moderators than I (or at least they read your posts and respond). How about you try to make this thread get of the ground, i.e. either get them to make this a sticky or perhaps they could post the halachos in BOLD font.
CuriousMemberI do not stretch before. The latest research shows stretching while your muscles are cold is not recommended and there is a greater risk of injury. I’ll do a fast walk for 5 minutes before I start my run. Also a fast 5 minute walk afetr I run. I do a full 10 minute stretch after each workout.
Ashreinu – I listened to part 1 & 2 of his 3 part series on tefillah. That’s something I definitely need improvement in. And BTW, NYC is a big place… I’d know. 😉
CuriousMemberHere’s round two (GTT, pg 44).
Mods – can you read my previous posts here. Should we start a separate thread for this?
*It is forbidden to speak lashon hara (derogatory information) in the presence of the subject, even if your sole intention in mentioning his faults is to criticize him constructively. Besides transgressing the aveirah of lashon hara, you may also be guilty of causing him humiliation and mortification.
So, how does ths play out when we respond to other people’s posts. Do we speak in a derogatory manner about the speaker or about the content of the post?
CuriousMemberAshreinu – I think we need to team up.
I was inside with a friend yesterday watching the snowflakes fall, and I just kept saying “I’d love to go for a nice run outside now!” And she just looked at me like I was losing it. They just don’t understand…
I’d ask you where you run, but you’re probably not going to advertise it here.
I just started running several months ago, but have to take it really slow and easy due to a previous (serious) sports injury. I run 3.5 miles 3x/week, but do have to slow down every now and then for a walking break. I just keep thinking to myself “slow and steady wins the race!”
And btw, ashreniu – I listened to R’ Shafier’s shmuzin on my last 2 runs.
CuriousMemberasdf – can you map your run at mapmyrun .com and then make us jealous by telling us the mileage you complete every day?! My 3.5 miles are baby steps compared to yours.
Have you ever completed a marathon or half-marathon?
CuriousMemberDo these posts get approved without being read? I was addressing YOU, moderator. LOL.
CuriousMemberModerator – can you possibly change the title of this thread, as I think the words “shmiras halashon” tend to scare people away (like the tznius titles).
Maybe to something like “Who wants life?” to quote from tehillim “Mi haish hachafetz chaim… Netzor lishoncha merah…”
And then you can delete this post 😉
CuriousMembermw13, that’s what I was thinking, but I would be scared of the responsibility if I quoted something wrong.
I guess to start, I’ll post this (adapted from Guard Your Tongue)
*Any derogatory information that is related to others, which is true, is termed lashon hara.
*Any derogatory information that is related to others, which is false or partially false, is termed motzi shaim ra = defamation of character. The aveirah of motzi shem ra is much more severe than lashon hara.
My challenge to all you posters – can you think of a few common examples, where people tend to defend their lashon hara by saying “but it’s true.”
CuriousMemberEditor/mods, can you help us with this?
CuriousMemberCan we keep this thread purely running?
Thats one of the best parts of actually running, you get to clear your head and not deal with any other distractions…
asdf – How long have you been running for? How long did it take you to build up your endurance to be able to run this long?
CuriousMemberI guess I can do it if I’m allowed to copy/quote from the “Guard Your Tongue” book by Rabbi Zelig Pliskin (which is a very concise and clear guide), however there is a copyright on it.
Think we might be able to get permission to quote this book? If not, any other ideas?
CuriousMemberHow about starting a thread (as a sticky) with 1 or 2 halachos of shmiras halashon daily?
I’d like to believe that most people do not want to violate these halachos, however they are simply unaware of what constitutes forbidden speech.
I’ve been learning the halachos of shmiras halashon for quite a while now and it’s amazing how much I was unaware of. In addition, despite learning the English sefer more than 4x, I still can use more and more review…
Perhaps by revewing the halachos, each of us can improve our speech, and YWN posts, and thus minimize the amount of lashon hara being discussed.
