Sarai Imeinu was described as beautiful. In fact, that’s the first thing said about her, other than she was childless.
DovidBTParticipantIn mine opinion, the people whom post in this here forum spell very goodly. There grammar could be weller, but its usualualy easy to make sense of what they are meaning.
DovidBTParticipantI drink both, but coke is easier on the digestive system. It’s like flavored Alka Seltzer + caffeine.
March 24, 2019 11:02 pm at 11:02 pm in reply to: Chabad? Most non religious Jews are not halachikly Jewish. #1700463DovidBTParticipantChassidism teaches how to look beyond the halachah and see the latent Jewish soul in a person.
DovidBTParticipantWalgreens
DovidBTParticipantDoesn’t Israel have a shortage of water? Maybe you could arrange a deal.
March 13, 2019 9:59 am at 9:59 am in reply to: Confessing to your Spanish speaking friend that you are actually cheese #1695013DovidBTParticipantJust talk very loud. Everyone understands English if they really want to.
DovidBTParticipantMoving south would lower heating costs.
But it would raise cooling costs.
You can lower heating costs by wearing additional layers of clothing. Removing layers to adjust for a hot environment is less effective, and is limited by tznius.
I stand with my suggestions of tents and robotic teachers.
DovidBTParticipantEmulate the ways of the Patriarchs. They didn’t need fancy buildings with utilities. Find an empty field and erect tents.
DovidBTParticipantReplace the teachers with robots.
DovidBTParticipantI use the filter that Hashem gave me.
February 26, 2019 4:38 pm at 4:38 pm in reply to: What Wearing a White Shirt says about you as a working man. #1685682DovidBTParticipantSurgeons wear colors such as green or blue to make the blood stains less noticeable. That’s dishonest. They should wear white, and then be rated according to the amount of blood stains. That way the patients could avoid the clumsy ones.
DovidBTParticipantAmazon should buy the U.S. Postal Service.
DovidBTParticipant@anonymous Jew: I was asking a question, not making a point.
@Uncle Ben: I don’t know. Does it?DovidBTParticipantthe paying member is accorded a place ahead of the non-member for honors.
Do you score more points with Hashem for getting honors, as opposed to sitting in your seat davening?
DovidBTParticipantWhy do we have to cave to black people, at every turn? I think it’s more a case of caving to white leftists, who are using the issue in their thought-control compaign.
Would a Kim Jong-un costume be offensive? What about François “Papa Doc” Duvalier?
February 11, 2019 11:23 am at 11:23 am in reply to: Are there fewer Sephardi shuls on the East Coast? #1677384DovidBTParticipantIn this context, is Chabad considered to be Ashkenaz?
DovidBTParticipantmake your face black. goyim will think you are really black.
Not if you do it properly. Search for publicity posters of the 1927 movie, “The Jazz Singer”.
DovidBTParticipantRabban Gamliel the son of Rabbi Judah HaNassi would say: Beautiful is the study of Torah with the way of the world, for the toil of them both causes sin to be forgotten. Ultimately, all Torah study that is not accompanied with work is destined to cease and to cause sin. …
Pirkei Avos 2:2DovidBTParticipantIts the desire to earn money that drives economies.
That’s the “positive side”of the yetzer hara.Another theory I’ve seen is to abolish income tax, and use other funding, such as expanding the tax on consumption. Rich people buy a lot more stuff than poor people.
DovidBTParticipantIt gets complicated, because the rich have more options for sheltering their income.
DovidBTParticipant@RebYidd23: Exactly.
DovidBTParticipantSearch for “portable oil-filled radiator”. They’re relatively efficient. But for a large room, you’d probably need more than one of them.
January 31, 2019 1:44 pm at 1:44 pm in reply to: What’s with all the hate crimes against Klal Yisroel ?!?! #1671695DovidBTParticipantIt’s a reaction to the left’s continuing efforts to control what people may say or think.
DovidBTParticipantIn view of a recent Daf Yomi, I think the Moon would be offended by this topic.
DovidBTParticipantDiscussion topics like this one make me wonder what people who aren’t observant Jews think if they come across this site.
DovidBTParticipant… and I see [the judgement of] G-d from my flesh.
Iyov 19:26DovidBTParticipantDoesn’t Shmiras Einayim conflict with being a “light unto the nations”?
DovidBTParticipantGoing to a non-all male gym is forbidden by Jewish law.
My understanding is that it’s a fence, not a law.
DovidBTParticipantFor me, the difference is:
Out of Town is where I am. In Town is where I am not.
January 17, 2019 2:33 pm at 2:33 pm in reply to: Will Israel be the korbon of Trump’s desperation. #1664031DovidBTParticipantThat won’t happen, because:
1) Too many liberals support Israel.
2) Israel is important to the U.S. military-wise.January 15, 2019 10:52 am at 10:52 am in reply to: Please recommend me a good business start up book #1662852DovidBTParticipantThe Art of War, by Sun Tzu.
DovidBTParticipantHere’s another option. Get arrested frequently. You’ll have the opportunity to observe the driving from the back seat.
DovidBTParticipantA bed that bathes and dresses you, takes you to shul, davens for you, then brings you back home.
DovidBTParticipantIt’s possible for a wind gust to flip a plane. I don’t know if the “swamped” analogy applies to planes.
Light planes have to be especially careful when landing or taking off behind large, heavy planes, because of “wingtip vortices” produced by the big planes.
DovidBTParticipantHere’s a specific example:
Suppose an airplane has a stall speed of 48 knots, and there’s a headwind of 60 knots. The plane doesn’t have to fly at 60+48=108 knots to keep from stalling. Since the plane is inside the air mass that’s moving at 60 knots, it only has to fly at 48 knots (indicated air speed) relative to the enclosing air mass. To an observer on the ground, though, the plane would appear to be flying at 48-60=-12 knots, i.e. it would appear to be moving backwards at 12 knots.
DovidBTParticipanta plane needs to faster than the wind to keep up airspeed so that it won’t stall
That’s not exactly how it works. The airplane is “inside the wind”, so it’s relative airspeed that matters. Actually it’s the “angle of attack” that determines when a plane stalls.January 4, 2019 10:56 am at 10:56 am in reply to: How can I make money from home, using internet/online, with a Jewish flavor? #1657227DovidBTParticipantA brokerage service that lets you sell your share in the World to Come for cash.
DovidBTParticipantThe guys controlling all this need your taxes to pay their salaries, so that won’t happen.
DovidBTParticipantWas it a towered airport or non towered airport
Yes 🙂
I flew in and out of lots of airports. Some had FAA control towers, some only had FBO’s monitoring the radio, some had neither.
DovidBTParticipant@Cessna172
Thanks for the info. In that case, I could fly, but not legally. But the typical passenger would not know the difference. 🙂
I flew out of an airport other than FRG. 🙂
DovidBTParticipantJoseph, I think that car accidents are much much more common than general/private aviation accidents. When I served as chief of police of a large city for eight years, we had to respond to tens of thousands of car accidents, but only a handful of airplane accidents.
(One of the above statements is false.)
December 31, 2018 11:58 am at 11:58 am in reply to: Why do people get nervous when they fly? #1654383DovidBTParticipantAnother thought occurred to me.
I haven’t piloted an airplane for decades. But as far as I know, my private pilot license is still valid (they don’t expire). If I renewed my medical certificate, which only requires a visit to a doctor, I could legally get in a Cessna 172 tomorrow and fly it. That’s assuming that the owner of the airplane didn’t require taking me for a checkride.
That’s one difference between private vs. commercial aviation. There’s far less oversight by the government. It’s up to individuals to verify that the aircraft has been properly maintained and that the pilot is competent.
December 31, 2018 11:03 am at 11:03 am in reply to: Why do people get nervous when they fly? #1654363DovidBTParticipant@tgsm
Because statistically, car accidents are much more common than airplane accidents.DovidBTParticipantSuppose you shoot an arrow at a target.
At any instant of time, the arrow is at a fixed position in the air.
So the arrow is never in motion.
Therefore, motion does not exist!.DovidBTParticipant@Cessna172
I have a private pilot license and have flown Cessna 172’s, although it’s been a long time. Before I started flight training, I knew absolutely nothing about small planes or how planes work.
I suspect the reluctance of the prospective passengers is due to ignorance.
December 26, 2018 8:14 am at 8:14 am in reply to: Can the “right” of modern Orthodoxy be saved while the “left” has left? #1652011DovidBTParticipantWill the “Right” of MO wake up in time?
In time for what?
How is this different from the questions obtained by replacing “Right of MO” with “Conservative”, “Reform” or “secular”?
December 23, 2018 2:29 pm at 2:29 pm in reply to: Disappointing event for my son and family #1649681DovidBTParticipantAmong otd people, there’s a notably greater proportional representation of children of bt’s.
I first read that as “Among old people”, and spent a few minutes to trying to understand it.
December 8, 2018 10:42 pm at 10:42 pm in reply to: New Ongoing Story, please add your continuations. #1639521DovidBTParticipantThe radio broadcast told of the ongoing aerial attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese! Annie, Biz and their Mustang had mysteriously been transported back in time to 1941!
