emes nisht sheker:
@Syag – Congrats on another insult post insinuating that everyone that supports Biden is somehow mean. As they say, if you live in a glass house don’t throw stones. Still waiting to see a comment from you on substance, rather than your consistent implications that those who supported Biden in this election are just somehow bad people.
That is absolutely sheker. She said and implied no such thing. She has an opinion, and you are entitled to disagree, but not entitled to completely misrepresent and then attack her for words you put in her mouth.
The song Ma Ahavti is a Skulener one
Nafshenu is a Skulener Nigun.
And you are comparing a phone call to 15 Rabbis from Trump’s assistant to a meaningless and powerless public remark ?
I wasn’t comparing anything. You’re the the one who made a comparison.
Charlie?
There are plenty of false positives too
What I do not understand is thanking Trump for calling religious institutions essential, when Avi Berkowitz, Special Assistant to the President, held a phone briefing with 15 rabbis in the beginning of March, explaining the need to shut down yeshivot and synagogues.
You’re comparing the beginning of March to the end of May…
The umas haolam did bad to us, so tbey also might need teshuva together with us
You didn’t answer the question
They approved Remdesivir after this study came out. Can you explain this please, Charlie Hall?
At After the endorsement letter from 11 rabonim, I have to accept the possibility of him winning.
I have to wonder why the sentence didn’t conclude, “I have to vote for him”.
At the time we reached the lowest level, we will need a melech kasha kehaman, not necessarily to the Jews
Haman was bad for the Jews. Why wouldn’t melech kashe k’Haman not likewise mean hard on the Jews?
DaasYochid – They do not have enough information to produce statistically valuable data
They have the data. And the frum neighborhoods are not necessarily the highest percentage of positive cases yet neighborhoods with higher numbers per 100k didn’t get shut down.
Daasyochid, because even though it has its limitations, it is a useful way to monitor trends.
So is number of infected per 100,000.
Thanks, Little Froggie.
Can someone explain to me why they use the percentage of positive tests rather than the percentage of people who are positive?
The ones quoted in the book, would never admit that they were trying to undermine Traditional Judaism.
And Rabbi Shapiro would never admit that he spread lashon hora
I think there is a difference. The author intended to write what he wrote. He wants to be portrayed as taking the position the OP ascribed to him. The same may not be true about those he wrote about. I can not say for sure. I have up on the book before he started the fun parts.
I don’t understand the distinction you’re trying to make.
I didn’t publish anything. I’m asking.
This is not true. You clearly took a negative position.Wait, didn’t you just do the same thing you accuse him of doing?
Whatever your horoas heter is, he has the same heter.
This whole argument is mind boggling.
Why? The argument isn’t about whether Blake is at fault, it’s about whether the cop is at fault, and they are not mutually exclusive.
About 25 professors from Yale signed a letter strongly refuting the opinion of Dr..Frisch referred to in the OP
My granddaughter’s yeshiva high school tuition was approximately $25,000.
I would love to know which school that is (I’m not expecting an answer; I respect your right to privacy). In my experience, girls’ high school tuition is much lower that that. Generally, modern orthodox schools charge much higher tuition and give fewer breaks.
Take the school budget, subtract JUF and government subsidies, and divide the remainder by the student body, and you’ll get a number less than full tuition.
This is true in some, but not all schools.
Make a siyum
You spelled medications wrong
Just add meat and be done with it.
OP: some add tofu.
I always suspected you were gadolhadorah, now you confirmed it.
It is safe to assume it wasn’t a nevuah.
for the latest round of infections and tragedies
All those who avoid wearing masks etc
for even the most remote possibility
can they dare say Devorim 21:7No, we don’t act on “the most remote possibility”
Any updates?
Yes, now they’re saying it works.
Unfiltered internet does not bother me anymore.
That is extremely dangerous and unfortunate.
Interesting. I was recently thinking that this mageifa happened right after the grand crowds at various Siyum Hashas venues, where the exact amount of people were counted and displayed in the local frum papers.
That’s not counting klal Yisroel, that’s counting (probably imprecisely) the number of people in a particular building at a particular time.
What can we learn from the mistakes made in EY?
Seriously, the cops have been told to allow people to go to minyan.
Interesting shaila though, if it wasn’t feasible to get to minyan, some shuls (and their satelite outdoor minyanim) were scheduling Mincha/Maariv around Plag although really it’s better to daven b’ychidus and not do tarti d’sasri.
Ashkenaz will start with V’hu Rachum, Sefard will start with Shir Hamaalos.
Men tend to get invitations more quickly than women, and at least more often get them spontaneously.
That makes sense, as they may get a Friday night invitation in shul.
For some reason though, my experience does differ; I think we have divorced women for Shabbos seudos more often than divorced men, frequently with their children.
It saddens me that recently many of these single people (men, women, divorced, widowed, never married – it makes no difference) have not been able to get invitations due to social distancing.
But without question patients who a months ago I’d have thought were doomed (based on then current experience) are doing better when they arrive now
Maybe the hospitals are less crowded so the patients are actually getting the attention they need. I’m hearing rumors that many patients actually died from lack of nutrition.
I know the lockdown was officially about flattening the curve to prevent overwhelming the system, but I don’t believe its value (and certainly the value of maintaining social distancing longer term) was/is limited to that.
First of all, how can we ignore the value of extending life? Think about how much time, effort, and money we put into extending the life of an I’ll, even terminally ill, loved one (we shouldn’t know from such things). Even if ultimately everyone would get it, ch”v, flattening the curve extended lives
Also, the longer someone waits to get sick, the more the medical establishment knows how to treat it, and hopefully be”H they’ll find better treatments and even hopefully vaccines, so hopefully many lives can be saved.
Would anybody like to contribute to – or simply read – a topic that posts a daily bit of information about proper English.
I’d be very happy to. I’m always looking to improve my writing.
As long as the point isn’t to criticize someone else’s writing, it’s a good idea. But it shouldn’t be mandatory (yes, I started a sentence with “but”).
For example, if suddenly ubiquitin would start writing coherent sentences, I’d be worried that his account got hacked, or that someone’s kidneys aren’t getting the proper attention because ubiquitin is too busy proofreading.

THE TEN PLAGUES (MAKOS) Music and Lyrics By: Yocheved Sorcher
When the time came to punish Egypt, Pharoah was busy taking a dip. He went down to the Nile’s cool water and mud, but the water turned to blood. He hardened his heart, he said “I don’t care”, we won’t drink water, we’ll drink root beer. But with each drink he drank, he just looked more glum ’cause it all had turned to Dom (blood)!Chorus: Oh Pharoah, oh Pharoah, you’ll have to suffer, with that ache in your head . Until you’ll learn, that Hashem meant what he said: והוצאתי והצלתי, וגאלתי ולקחתי
Hashem set Bnai Yisroel free, to give the Torah to you and me.The Mitzrim would make scary noises at night, this filled the tired Jews with much fright. But the noisemakers soon saw that noise is no joke, when the frogs began to croak!
King Pharoah’s hairdressers bought all kinds of goo, conditioners, creams, all kinds of shampoo. But not one of them helped, used once or used twice, because Pharoah now had lice!Chorus
Egyptian ladies wanted fur coats to wear, leopard or mink or white polar bear. But they all changed their minds in Makas Uroiv, when the leopards came in droves! Though Pharoah still claimed that he was the boss, in Makas Dever, he suffered a loss. With his animals dead, he now had no meat, fruit was all that he could eat.
To pay for Bnai Yisroel’s toils, Pharoah was suddenly covered with boils. The Egyptians used all kinds of cream on their skin, but they couldn’t hide their Shchin!
Chorus
The stubborn Egyptians kept hurting the Jews, to see that Hashem is the king they refused. They still honored Pharoah, they’d say “Hail to the king”, so Hashem the Hail did bring!
Makas Dever did away with the meat, Makas Arbeh did away with the wheat. But King Pharoah so stubborn, turned away his cheek, and declared “Grasshopper week!”
Chorus
Remember the slavery in Mitzraim, though those days were dark, though those days were dim. In Makas Choshech we saw the light from Hashem, It was dark only for them!
Bnai Yisroel didn’t need any guns, Hashem did away with Egypt’s first born sons. Makas Bechoros was the final blow, “Please go” said Pharoah, “Go”!
Chorus
Not everyone has kids. I know some people who will literally be alone for the seder.
It must be done, but it’s painful to hear about and I’m sure much more painful to experience.
Very nice.
Joseph, who cares. Are you saying they infected the US?
He simply answered the question.
The stores are overwhelmed. Don’t think it’s just the Jewish stores, even Amazon is having a hard time delivering, as well as others.
In some communities, there are volunteers doing shopping for quarantined and elderly people.
Joseph, the letter from R’ Chaim has now been confirmed. He wrote “Kedai meod lehatzbia.”
Where can we see this letter?
Nice album.
on a plane to a chasuna in chicago
Sounds like an Abie Rotenberg song
Physical abuse includes emotional abuse
@yochy, when you say “It may not be a bad idea for the girls to band together and announce that if the boys don’t start dating earlier- they will not date until later- perhaps 21 or so. Or that they won.t date a boy over 21 or 22.”, do you mean they should refuse to date as a form of protest or as a practical means to close the age gap?
Wow, that’s quite cynical.
