moeisrael: Why must you put up these ridiculous comparisons, which can only lead to lashon hara? Yair Lapid doesn’t care if chareidim want to sit and learn – he just doesn’t want to have to pay for it. Balak wanted to get rid of the Jews. He tried to get them to sin in order to do so – kind of what you’re doing here by starting a conversation that can only lead to lashon hara and sinas chinam.
batseven: So it’s ok to plaster their names all over the front of the yeshiva buildings and honor them at dinners for their donations, but it’s not ok to post the names here?
The Lowinger family has helped build many yeshivos. Mesivta Chaim Shlomo (part of Darchei Torah) in Far Rockaway was built by a Lowinger. I believe Torah Temimah has a Lowinger’s name on the building.
There’s also a well known yeshiva in Brooklyn which has a very wealthy benefactor, but unfortunately, he wasn’t always honest about paying employees – mainly one, who went to Beis Din over it. The benefactor (who is employed by the yeshiva) refused to respond to the hazmanah (along with the Rosh Yeshiva).
Now let’s get back to the RCA and Chacham Ovadia.
popa, do you still shudder about the RCA, having decided to be dan l’kaf zchus that the letter referred to those who assaulted the Rav at the wedding, and not Chacham Ovadia?
Mods, do you still think it was a chutzpa, or did you come around to that way of thinking as well?
And what about the member of the Moetzes who can’t win in Beis Din because he’s a lo tzais dina?
Here’s another one:
Somewhere there’s a garden
Where the sun shines every day
It’s not too far
From where we are
It’s from Or Chodosh – My Yaytzer Horah Says
HaKatan: Thank you for backing me up on that interpretation!
Why can’t others be melamed zchus and assume that’s what it meant? Are you so eager to bash a mostly Modern Orthodox organization? Mods, why do you allow it?
DaasYochid, that’s RABBI Tendler to you! R’ Moshe obviously disagreed with you, as he wrote very highly of his son-in-law. Either way, it’s not for you to decide who’s a legitimate Rav and who’s not. I don’t think very highly of Satmar (in case some people here haven’t noticed), does that give me the right to start insulting the warring Rebbes or R’ Yoel?
I’m not a huge fan of the current Jewish music. I like the old school stuff a lot more.
I’m going to give DaasYochid one more chance, because he should definitely know the song. It’s from a singer I’ve quoted from before.
bump!
So kkls45, what song is it from?
Sam2: I think that EVERY Rav has an obligation to say something if he feels it is halachically necessary, no matter how big or small he may be. A Rav also has a responsibility to know when he needs to ask another Rav for a second opinion.
As I said before, I think the letter was ambiguously worded, and I think everyone is reading it in a way it wasn’t intended. I wonder if a chareidi Rabbi wrote such a letter, would they be jumping to attack him, or would they try and find a limud zchus, such as reading the letter the way I did?
First of all, the letter was never meant to be public. It was leaked by someone. Second, I understood the letter a bit differently.
I thought this part:
“Is this Torah and these are its scholars? Woe is to he who learned Torah, woe is to his father who taught him Torah, woe is to his rebbe who taught him Torah. See how crooked are his actions and how ugly are his ways.”
referred to the people who assaulted Rav Stav at the wedding. Yes, woe to the teacher, because when a Rebbe hears that his talmud, who he tried to guide in the proper derech, did such a thing, he should be mourning these actions! Yes, they trembled to hear the words of Chacham Ovadia shlita. But the 2nd half was about the people who went completely against halachah and assaulted a great Rav. Chacham Ovadia never would have approved such an action! Woe to the Rebbe who hears of his talmidim doing such a thing!
kkls45: I don’t know that one, where is it from?
I also have one out there which nobody got yet:
“Watch Johnny Carson, and then there’s a movie till 3”
You’re probably better off getting the basic model as opposed to one of the fancy electronic ones – many Rabbonim hold you can use them on Shabbos!
tzaddiq: According to Wikipedia, his mother was Scots-Irish, with some French Norman. It also says this:
According to a third cousin of Presley’s, one of Gladys’s great-grandmothers was Jewish. There is no evidence that Presley or his mother shared this belief in a Jewish heritage. Syndicated columnist Nate Bloom has challenged the cousin’s account, which he calls a “tall tale”.
I don’t know about that one, but Pizza Crave in Teaneck makes a great white sauce for their Garlic Knot Slice. I think I know how to replicate it:
Mayonnaise
sugar
vinegar
water
garlic
There have been plenty of Jewish athletes:
Sandy Koufax
Hank Greenberg
Ike Davis (mother is Jewish, father is not)
Shawn Green
Kevin Youkilis
It depends if I have a plain slice or one with toppings. If it’s plain, then yes, I fold it. If there are toppings, I find that folding it makes the toppings fall off, so I keep it straight.
Look into Darchei Torah in Far Rockaway. Rabbi Bender is second to none!
DaasYochid, I’m surprised you’re not getting “Watch Johnny Carson, and then there’s a movie till 3″… the singer is one you’d definitely know.
Toi: Wrong!
kkls45: Is it from a women’s singing group? It doesn’t sound familiar, and before I start looking into it, I want to be sure it’s a song I’d be listening to.
Still nobody got “Watch Johnny Carson, and then there’s a movie till 3”
Shopping613, first of all, which song exactly is it that you want? As I said, you can email Feif Un. We work together, and he can forward it to me. He posted an anonymous email address of his once on the CR. Search and you shall find!
kkls45: Ride the Waves from the NY Boys Choir
He’s a guy who used to post here. He left because he was sick of the bias against Modern Orthodox Jews. You can read the thread that drove him to leave here: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/shocking-study-of-modern-orthodox-otd-rate
He used to post quite a bit in this thread (although it was mostly me feeding him songs). We also work together.
I looked at that thread, and I see the OP in it was Joseph. I know that Joseph has contacted Feif Un outside of the CR before, and told him he was going to drive him so crazy he’d leave. I don’t think Feif Un would want Joseph to have that satisfaction, so I’ll ask him again to return when I see him tomorrow.
writersoul: Yes, you broke with TRADITION with those words. IF I WERE A RICH MAN, I’d buy this site and ban you for that! But MIRACLE OF MIRACLES, I’m not, so you’re safe. I have to go now – it’s almost sunrise. Did I say sunrise? I meant sunset. SUNRISE, SUNSET, almost the same thing. It’s almost time for my SABBATH PRAYER. So have a good Shabbos, and don’ forget to make a L’chaim – TO LIFE!
Feif Un once posted a story about his brother, who wanted to sit and learn, and asked R’ Chaim Segal zt”l (from Chaim Berlin) if he could stop attending secular studies (this was in 11th grade). R’ Segal refused to allow it.
My younger brother also attended Chaim Berlin, although R’ Segal was no longer alive. He also asked about stopping secular studies, and R’ Braunstein refused to allow him to drop out. He told him that he needed a high school diploma.
Have someone take a magic marker (although not a red one, as everyone knows red is not tznius) and color over the parts that are objectionable.
I don’t have that song on mp3, I’ll have to convert it. You can email Feif Un, and he’ll get you in touch with me.
When it comes to this subject, I think girls are full of themselves. You think guys can’t control themselves around you? Guess what – not all of you are that great! When people are dating, one of the things you look for is a physical attraction. Not every girl is attractive to every guy!
Have I ever seen an attractive girl and had an improper thought cross my mind? Yes. Do I act on these thoughts? No! Guess what? Despite all the people telling you boys can’t control themselves, I CONTROL MYSELF!!!
But as far as you saying that guys only think about one thing – you’re wrong! As I said, I don’t think every single girl is attractive. Don’t flatter yourself by thinking that I’d have the thoughts if I saw you. Most of the time, I probably wouldn’t. It’s pure ego on a girl’s part to think every guy wants her.
I had the Amudai Shaish album when I was a kid. It’s a bit of a laugh. Some of the songs are kind of silly, with funny words and weird voices singing (I think Shema B’ni had someone with a Tuki voice singing).
So this is still out there:
“Watch Johnny Carson, and then there’s a movie till 3”
It’s from the Amudai Shaish Boys Choir. In the late 80s (I think maybe 88?) they put out a double album which didn’t have any title to it – it just said Amudai Shaish Boys Choir on the front. The song is titled Our Gedolim.
How about this one:
“Watch Johnny Carson, and then there’s a movie till 3”
The one I posted 2 days ago is still out there. I posted 2 lines from it:
“And for the few who are still here, we must cherish every dear”
“But now they’re gone, and left are just a few, to guide us as a Jew”
I also said it’s from a coir, and came out in the late 80s.
writersoul: I thought I recognized that (my Yiddish isn’t very good!), so I double checked – and I was right!
Un vos iz besser fun dem cholent un dem fish?
Alleh Yidden! Zayt tzufriden! from Or Chodosh
mitzvahgirl613: 8th Day, Harmony
DaasYochid: Here are some more lyrics from the song:
“But now they’re gone, and left are just a few, to guide us as a Jew”
Whoever wrote the words to the song had horrible grammar…
haifagirl: Because most “Jewish” music these days is garbage, and can’t compare in quality to non-Jewish music. Most Jewish singers try to cope the style of non-Jewish music, but don’t do a very good job of it.
Thanks, I got the song.
Did you figure out the other one I posted earlier?
I have the one from Megama at home (I recently got ahold of it, but haven’t had the chance to listen to it yet). Do you have an earlier version? If you do, can you email it to Feif Un? He’ll pass it on to me.
The chorus goes like this:
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday
Double, double, triple pay, won’t make me work on Saturday
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday
It’s Shabbos Kodesh
Did you mean “Double, double, triple pay, won’t make me work on Saturday”, from Megama, later from Uncle Moishy?
Shopping613, the main rule in this game is to get the lyrics right!
Ok… another choir. The song came out in the late 80s.
Correct, DaasYochid! Here’s another tough one:
And for the few who are still here, we must cherish every dear
