The University of Virginia just announced that on-grounds classes are suspended “for the foreseeable future”. Students are encouraged to leave the university and stay home. Only online classes will be held.
What about giving a Shiur or Dvar Torah in Loshon Kodesh? The reason that was not done is because Loshon HaKodesh is very hard to use in a speaking manner – its much more suited to writing. Would you start a sentence with “hinei”?
It would be an interesting experiment to spend a month speaking nothing but Loshon Kodesh, possibly limiting it to actual verses from the Tanach.
My understanding is that if you drink water for pleasure, you say shehakol. But if you drink water simply to keep yourself hydrated, you don’t say a blessing.
Does the same logic apply to coffee? If you drink it for pleasure, you say shehakol, but if you drink it simply to stay awake, you don’t say a blessing?
About 50 years ago learned both COBOL and Fortran using mainframe computers with punchcards
The choices were much simpler then.
Punch cards were great. A stack of cards was a tangible result of your work. And old cards made good book marks for the computer manuals.Why is it different than wine which gets its own bracha?
Grapes are one of the Seven Species named in the Torah. Coffee beans are not.
R’Zeira – and some say R’Chanina bar Pappa – said: The halachah is not in accordance with R’Yehudah.
Berachos 40aIt depends on how many voters like sodomites and/or communists.
During the impeachment trial, one of the President’s defense team showed video snippets of Democrats calling for his impeachment shortly after the 2016 election. He hadn’t even done anything as President yet.
Shawl,white beard, brown skin tone, tall…location. Over the river…what else
Many people fit that description.
She should be lauded for symbolically showing what her political party is doing to the country. I’m surprised there haven’t been political cartoons with the speech transcript replaced with a map of the U.S.
The Super Bowl isn’t really football. It’s four hours of commercials with bits of football in between.
Why does it have to be banned, why can’t there be a trial stage to see how people will be affected (maybe big supermarkets should have the ban but the little Chinese food restaurants can still use bags) and see what people say
That would be really complicated to enforce. A ban that applies to all stores is simple.
What does the World Zionist Congress do? Does it have legal authority to control anything?
With the creation of the U.S. Space Force, maybe a draft will be needed to populate its ranks.
By the way, why aren’t the Equal Rights Amendment supporters demanding that women be included in the Selective Service registration?
It is cute when it runs after its tail.
When my cats were kittens, they would often wrestle. Sometimes one of them would become distracted by his own tail and start chasing it. Not a good strategy when you’re in a fight.
he needs to cripple the Democrats’ strongest probable candidate and to cripple the party
That’s negative campaigning. He should take the high road and continue to show why he should be the nation’s leader, and not get dragged down into the gutter tactics used by the leftists.
The time to worry is when the government becomes antisemitic, not the powerless fringe elements.
If it was suppressed, how do you know about it?
Nullify the contents of the garage in your mind, so that they no longer exist.
Make a list of things that you should do, but know that you won’t.
Freeze it. Then it’s easy to scrape off.
We may find out soon whether Iran has nukes.
The alleged Ukrainian/Russian collusion is a non-issue. Even if they did help the Republican party win the election, who cares? We owe them gratitude for saving our country.
I’m reading Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography. It’s actually fascinating. He talks a lot about his belief in G-d and support of religion, from the ethical perspective. He also discusses his systematic approach to improving his middos, which he calls “virtues”.
Maybe transportable is a better term.
Don’t forget the Two Minutes Hate.
There’s also nothing mentioned about checking the p’ri ha’eitz for bugs.
Communism is against religion
So is democracy.brainwashed by communism and have no respect for Judaism
Which is closer to Judaism: Communism or Democracy?
The money is well spent if it helps us have a secular government that supports religious freedom and is friendly to Israel.
Let’s hope that she becomes the Democrat’s candidate. That will guarantee that the Republicans win next year. 🙂
Only if you are a Vulcan.
But even Vulcans experience Pon farr every seven years.
practicing violin until his fingers bleed
No pain, no gain.
You are required to spend all your money to avoid an issur…
What’s the source for that?
1. The surgical (sanitary) mask is a brilliant idea.
2. Air Canada staff will no longer greet ‘ladies and gentlemen’ onboard planes: “We will be amending our onboard announcements to modernize them and remove specific references to gender,” a media spokesperson for the company said.
Use phosphorescent materials in the pavement.
It’s ironic that a machine is deciding who is human and who is not.
Those are the left’s childish games. That’s not the way to win the 2020 election. He should stay focused on making and keeping America great.
I resent your implication that I am insane.
Oh, come on. We all know you’re insane. But that’s ok. Most of the posters here are insane.
Personally, I would either keep my hand by my side, or salute.
What’s scary is that in a few years there will be smartphone implants, and they will become commonplace.
What exactly should “our leaders” do that we can’t do ourselves? Anyone can step up and set an example to follow.
A violin would be a better choice because you can carry it with you and practice wherever you are. Pick up a cheap used one. You don’t need a course. Learn to play it by trial and error.
@CTLAWYER
If you wrote an autobiography and it were made into a film, which actor would you like to portray you?What about a moose as a goose?
When I first became observant, I lived in an area where kosher meat was scarce, and I adopted the habit of eating meat only on Shabbos and Yom Tov, and eating canned fish on weekdays.
They seem to follow the ways of the mainstream media by publishing provocative articles that entice people to click on them.
Even the area Chabad shuls don’t chain the parking lots.
Do any Chabad shuls/houses chain their parking lots on Shabbos? That would seriously conflict with their outreach mission, i.e., welcoming Jews of all observance levels.
Your new neighbor, who knows nothing about Judaism, knocks on your door on Saturday morning, tells you his car won’t start, and asks you to drive him to an important job interview. No one else is available to do this.
When you politely explain why you can’t do that, is it a Kiddush Hashem?
