i figure the germs cant survive in freezing temperatures.
Ooh so you do agree with me. It sounded before like you didn’t.
This is the third time I have strep in the past 3 months.
Would you say that all three times that you got it were in the same week of each month?

The hardest part of dealing with emotional pain is the thought that you are alone, dealing with it by yourself.
You have to realize that you’re not the only one dealing with this difficult nisayon. Whatever it is you are suffering from, you can be sure there are many others there with you.
Maybe you are in a position where you can find one or two of these people. But even if not, always remind yourself that other’s are sharing this pain too. And find for yourself a support system, a parent, spouse, sibling friend or Rebbe. Someone who will give you a shoulder to cry on.
Knowing someone is there for you and with you will help you find the strength to persevere and make it out the other side of the tunnel.

Who in the world is lucky enough to be paid to come up with these names?
Doesn’t anybody just drink plain old tap water any more?
Many people here are from NY where that isn’t an option because of bugs, unless you have filters on the tap.
What’s wrong with just salt? It will definitely burn the germs out, that’s for sure.
I don’t really understand the problem. Are you asking why there are no orthodox Rabbis in communities that don’t have an orthodox population?

Try gargling with something.
Something like salt.
Not something like the water from after giving your kids a bath.
So you think you know me?
I don’t think I know you. But this is not the first thread of this type. Nor is it the first time you’ve weighed in on an alternative medicine thread.
yankdownunder: Of course it does mate. I know plenty of tips for you. What do you want to know about?
Health: There is no medical evidence supporting the efficacy of homeopathic/aternative medicine.
There are many maalos to having stayed on the right path the whole time, rather than indulging in the teenage years.
Just because she straitened out doesn’t mean everything is great. You don’t know what nisyonos she might have today as a result of the time she spent chilled out.
From experience I can tell you that in the long run, you save yourself a great deal of heartache by staying straight the whole time rather than taking curves.

Are you sure its not strep or tonsilitis?

I heard rumors about a guy who upset the Mods a few years back. They say he’s sleeping with cement blocks on his feet on the bottom of the Yam Suf.

I haven’t seen any complaint about people writing to communicate when they aren’t allowed to talk.
Imagine two boys sitting on the same table by Yeshiva Shachris writing notes to each other.
Imagine two boys sitting on the same table by Yeshiva Shabchris and texting notes to each other.
You see a difference?

I think you need to ask yourself if these things really bother your or not.
Some people let other’s take advantage of them but even though they outwardly offer it inside they really wish the other person would say no.
Other people just don’t seem to mind the hassle whatsoever.
I think if you’re in the first group, then it is better to allow others to take advantage of you but instead work on increasing your happiness in doing chesed in small steps.
If you’re in the latter group than be happy that this particular midah comes naturally to you and focus and the other midos that don’t.

I’m sorry I didn’t mean to imply that this was the halacha. Just what I thought. I am not a boki in hilchos sicha b’emtza hatefillah so I found a site called GoDaven with an article by a Rabbi Doniel Neustadt. He lists the halachos of talking during davening:
(4) During a scheduled prayer session one may not separate himself from the tzibbur and engage in idle talk.
(5) Talking during davening causes a chillul Hashem, since it unfortunately lends support to the widely held perception that non-Jews are more careful than Jews to maintain proper decorum in their house of worship.
(7) During certain portions of davening, talking is prohibited for additional reasons as well. Sometimes talking is considered a hefsek, an “interruption” which may invalidate the portion which is being interrupted, while at other times talking is prohibited because the congregation must give its undivided attention to that portion of the service.
The ones I skipped out weren’t relevant.
But you can see that the first two would apply to texting as well. And the last item is hefsek.
but I don’t know what the texting aspect adds to the question of what is hesach hadaas.
You’re right, texting is definitely being mesiah daas which is not relevant in davening. I don’t know what a good example of hefsek would be.
Its actually one of the stickies
Do the same thing with the stores that sell tobacco.
I don’t think that would contribute to anything besides for more bitul Torah as the bochurim go further away to get their cigarettes. The chulent stores though are for the most part, just around the yeshivah. And more chulent stores are owned by from Jews than cigarette stores.
I’m confused. Does this mohel work in Bloomingdales too?
I think I saw in the shu”t Min HaShomayim a teshuvah about wearing tzitzis too.
That’s a scary shu”t. Good for anyone who needs someone to light a fire under them.
I can understand that. But it s possible that someone who would go this far really won’t be affected by being forced to apologize, nor would he be very sincere.
If as you said, he enjoys attention and recognition, your best bet is to get him to stop and then completely ignore him.
Maybe ask a brother to call him and tell him to stop. Or approach him with a few friends?
I think it is safe to say that any country that has had Jews, has at some point in its history, killed Jews.
Except Australia.
But that might be simply because their toilets flush the wrong way.
Where did we get this idea of creating a new garment specifically for tzitzis?
I believe that is what that Rov from the Vilna Gaon’s time did. He went around Europe convincing people to do this. Then Rav Chaim Volozhin tried to get shuls to say kedusha every Shabbos but his shul burned down twice so he stopped.
I forgot if I saw this in the back of the keser shem tov (?) in the back of the Nusach HaGra siddurs or in the back of the nefesh hachaim.
Then why dont we create tzitzis with a safety pin on the end so you can quickly attach it to any garment you need every day
Because of ta’aseh v’lo min ha’asuy. You need to make them, they can’t be pre-made
is pba really a mod?
First you have to ask yourself:
Does pba really exist or is he just a figment of your imagination?
Only once you know the answer to that question, should you begin asking questions like this.
I would say that any time it is muttar to talk during davening ie. before hodu (n. sefard) or boruch she’amar (ashkenaz) it is probably muttar to text as well.
The halachos that talking during davening are derived from would apply to texting as well.
The only question is what is considered a hefsek in general. If I wash for hamotzi and then go play a game without talking, do I have to wash again to eat bread?
Besides for what DY pointed out, if I remember correctly the MB says that a person needs to have control over his hirhurim as well.
But still, I think for the kolleleit who is sitting in a BM all day, none of this should really be a problem. I’ve tried finding out why we don’t wear them all day. The most that I’ve heard is that once it was established that we only wear them for shachris because the klal can’t keep a guf naki all day (and kavanah), so everyone stopped.
But once in a very rare while you pass a GR”Anick wearing tefillin under his hat in E”Y. I think there’s a Yeshivah in the Old City that wears tefillin all day.
I think according to the Vilna Gaon hesech hadas is not me’akev, but guf naki is. I could be wrong about that though.
I am not telling you halacha l’maisah I’m just telling you what I think. I assume that the mitzvah of tzitzis is the same as the mitzvah of tefilin. Were it not for that Rov who went around we might only be putting on tzitzis once a day by Shachris like we do with tefillin today.
Me’ikar hadin we are supposed to wear tefillin all day, but we don’t because of guf naki. But tzitzis doesn’t need guf naki.
That’s all I know.
When I told my daughter that her savta is also a bobby (we use Hebrew for one and Yiddish for the other for less confusion)she refused to believe me:
“Tatty you’re being silly”
“I’m not, savta is also a bobby”
“Tatty you’re being a joke”
She’s still not convinced.
Maybe it’s a bitul mitzvas asei if you don’t wear them?
I forgot who exactly it was but I believe it was during the time of the Vilna Gaon that a Rav went around Europe convincing people they should wear tzitzis all day because as music pointed out, its an easy mitzvah to do and you get schar for every moment.
Before that time, it was uncommon for people to wear tzitzis all day.
The mitzvah of wearing tzitzis starts when you wake up in the morning and ends at night.
There is an inyan to wear tzitzis at night/while sleeping for shmira.
Is she the one from Ramot that does the boiling lead thing?
I think we can safely rule out that Iyov is not Joseph.
That’s one down about 846,904,462,499 more people to go.
Health:
It is much easier to get a few store owners to close on Thursday night then it is to convince every single bochur not to smoke. The Rabbonim have written against smoking and those that care, don’t. Those that don’t do.
Personally I have a big taiva to start smoking again but don’t because the Rabbonim say its assur. I’m sure there are tons of people that feel the same way.
The malach shel threads comes every night and removes certain thread al pi gzeiras beis din shel maalah.
I believe that the hechsheirim in and around geulah only give their hechsheirim to restaurants that follow certain standards in hanhagah as well as kashrus.
I’m not sure of the exact peratim but I’ve heard similar to what the bear is saying about Eidah.
Read Rav Schwab on Iyov. I haven’t read it myself but I’ve heard its supposed to be really great.
As to the rest, its a machlokes in the gemarah who and when (and if) he was.
