Why would a man care? Because maybe he doesn’t want to have children with noses that look like ski jumps!!!!!
Wouldn’t the presence of a “big nose gene” be indicated by observing the noses of family members? Unless, of course, they all had plastic surgery too.
I think thats the problem the OP refers to. He wants to know if At 8 slices per box and 2 slices per person it is unbecoming for a ben torah to have only 2 children at home.
A simple remedy is to ask the pizza shop for two or three empty pizza boxes. That will give the appearance of having enough pizza for a large family.
It is therefore incumbent upon any public group/media outlet with our community to PUBLICLY refute the book.
That’s merely providing free advertising for the book. It’s better to ignore it.
The Republican won the tie breaker today and the Republicans will continue to control the Virginia House of Delegates.

I wonder if this topic is confusing to the UK users, who use braces to hold up their pants.
You could make your own dye from natural sources, e.g. fruits, vegetables, grass, leaves. There’s plenty of time to experiment.
the drei kup stuff like 15 opinions on what the halacha could be based on the wording of the mishnah
Does “drei kup” translate as “confusing”?
If I first demonstrate that it is the regular practice of airlines to record the names of every individual flying on a given flight, I can then prove I did not take the flight because there is no record with the airline of me on the flight. In other words, the absence of evidence of me being on the flight becomes evidence of my absence from the flight.
One could argue that’s evidence of absence from the outset, not absence of evidence.

My impression is that cars made today are harder to maintain for extended use than those from a few decades ago.
There are custom parts that are cheaply manufactured, but wear out after a few years and are expensive to replace. There are electronic gadgets that may or may not be particularly useful, but are mandated by law; they eventually stop working, and are expensive to replace. These are not do-it-yourself repairs that can be improvised in a home workshop with common tools. And if you don’t get the items fixed, the car cannot be driven legally.
Another problem with an unattended house is that it is subject to random vandalism, which can lead to more damage. Insurance companies have different rates for unoccupied houses.
In honor of this topic, I just added some chopped, raw onion to my cup of coffee.
A little uncalled for Hillary Bashing?
A little sensitive on that subject, aren’t we. 🙂
I haven’t seen her calling for Americans to close ranks and support the lawfully elected President and his policies. She’s still making paid appearances promoting her defeated agenda.
Moore is officially the loser!!!!
Time for him to get back on the horse he rode in on and get out of Dodge. Let him ride off into the sunset and never be heard or seen again.If “Moore” is replaced by “Clinton”, and “he/him” by “she/her”, then an even more appropriate statement results.
Most non-O Jews have no understanding of their religion. They are not beshita anything. They never spent much time looking into it. I would say that they are passive apikorsim.
They’re not “passive”. They consciously avoid looking into it. If a member of a non-O congregation starts asking questions or making suggestions that are not in line with the movement’s doctrine, he’ll be ignored, laughed at, or otherwise discouraged.
Any guesses on how many mezuzos the White House would require?
If the car has more dents than you have children, The car must be Yeshivish.
Unless you’re in Italy.
Coincidentally, the Daf Yomi, Shevuos 22, discusses eating dirt.
most unobservant Jews aren’t doing it beshita they’re doing it beignorance
That may apply to unaffiliated Jews, but in the case of the movements, it goes beyond ignorance. The non-O movements state as a matter of official policy that they reject the Divine origin of the Torah and the mitzvos. The leadership promotes that policy to the rank and file, and discourages dissent.

The web site “jewishfireprevention DOT org” has a section with safety tips when using candles. Click the “Fire Safety” button and then select “Candles” in the pulldown menu.
Here’s a direct link, but the moderators removed it:
I wonder if there has ever been a case in which a Reform pulpit “rabbi” became a Baal Teshuva, and then tried to convince his congregation that they were obligated to observe the mitzvos.
pass
A Reform “rabbi” gets paid to tell the congregants exactly what they want to hear. Then, in the fashion of Orwellian Doublethink, the congregants tell themselves that they’re practicing Judaism properly, because the “rabbi” says they are.
Dovid, are you alright with Mod-29 joining us?
Yes.
Exercise tapes, live aerobics style classes, training on cardio equipment, etc are largly a waste of time. Yes, if you are totally unfit you will see improvement but you could get the same from a consistent walking program. Long term the above cardio based programs will make you weaker and hungrier. Most people use them as a misguided way of purging calories.
Wrong.
A properly done, high-intensity cardio workout improves your cardiovascular fitness in a manner that cannot be obtained by walking. (Unless you’re talking about “power walking” at a very high intensity. And even that doesn’t exercise all of your muscle groups.)

What does it mean for a language to be in base 10?
The Torah does a lot of counting. E.g., Bamidbar chapter 26.
We use base 10 because Hashem’s language, Lashon haKodesh,
is in base 10Is it possible that Lashon haKodesh uses base 10 because “the Torah speaks in the language of people [dibrah Torah kilshon b’nei adam]”?
These numbers are all based on decimal (base 10) representation. Why do we use base 10? Is it because we have ten fingers? If so, why do we have ten fingers?
An unmentioned advantage of the walk is that it lets you check the physical fitness of the person. Include some brisk walking, maybe a bit of jogging, some steep stairs, a few abrupt direction changes, some slippery terrain.
A better approach is for every such person to be fully trained in self-defense, and to maintain situational awareness at all times, especially when in the proximity of a potential attacker.
Perhaps reading some hashkofa would be a better use of her time?
Or Daf Yomi. E.g., does incense have physical sanctity or monetary sanctity? (see Shevuos 11)
Am I the only one who’d appreciate saving money (with the intention of saving time) by purchasing a non-brand name paper towel?
Buy a roll or two of a name-brand and a generic brand, and do a comparison test. I did that a long time ago, and decided to stick with a name-brand; it absorbs more water and lasts longer.
Have some large families wave to him and invite him to be in a group picture (while holding his sign).

The Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 is a public law of the United States passed by the 104th Congress on October 23, 1995. It was passed for the purposes of initiating and funding the relocation of the Embassy of the United States in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, … The act also called for Jerusalem to remain an undivided city and for it to be recognized as the capital of the State of Israel. … Since passage, the law has never been implemented, because of opposition from Presidents Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump, who view it as a Congressional infringement on the executive branch’s constitutional authority over foreign policy …
From Wikipedia article “Jerusalem Embassy Act”.
My dentist told me that the purpose of flossing is to scrape the saliva from the sides of the teeth. If you don’t do that, the saliva hardens into plaque, and bacteria collect between the plaque and the gums, resulting in gum disease.
Isn’t the point of a stemmed wine glass to prevent the wine from being warmed by your body heat when you hold the glass? But if the wine bottle is at room temperature, rather than on ice, the stem serves no purpose.
If the driving force to make the change comes from the Israeli government, and the U.S. merely supports the change, then any negative effects can be blamed on Israeli policy.
Just behave as if you’re invisible to most of the other traffic.
I had a dream that I posted a topic, and all the other topics bowed down to my topic.
On Purim a few years ago I asked my local Chabad rabbi if a particular snack bar was suitable as Mishloach Manot. He said that he would not be able to eat it, since the certification was OU-D (Chalav stam). Since then, I’ve made a point of using only pareve items.
Use an encryption program such as BestCrypt on sensitive files.
There are also free software alternatives that provide top quality encryption, such as GnuPG and VeraCrypt.
“any space into which they can fit their heads”
And their whiskers serve as a measuring tool.
If you do put sensitive information on a public server, it should be encrypted with a strong passphrase. I.e., encrypt the data before uploading it to the server, decrypt it after downloading it from the server.
