    Rav Avigdor Miller(ztz”l) says don’t share things that will make it difficult to respect you for as much after hearing.It doesn’t mean you lie when confronted!! It means don’t make yourself look pathetic for no good reason.

    The best husband in the world can’t make a depressed soul happy. There’s got to be something to work with, and that goes both ways.

    For those who appreciated Machnisei Dimah’s yiddish lyrics, I wrote a song in English (2001?) based on that song. I finally figured out how to copy and paste,so I will try….

    C. Banet Tape

    Yiddishe Kinder, do you know

    That in shomayim, tears flow

    For yiddishe tears still overflow

    And when, this glass is full, Moshiach will come.

    Six million screamed Shema Yisroel Hashem Elokeinu Hashem Echod

    Tears were shed for rivers of Yiddish blood

    How many tears soak every cheek?

    Our precious Tehillim will one day speak

    Oy, oy, oy, when / will / the geula be here at last?

    Oy Ribono Shel Olam, how deep is the glass?

    So many hearts are broken, so many tefillos spoken

    Young yesomim voices piercing the crowd

    The tzibbur listens with sadness as / they say Kaddish out loud

    Tosim dimoseinu benodcha

    Ana, rachem al amcho

    How can it be the glass is not yet full?

    [musical interlude here]

    Yiddishe Kinder, do you know

    That in shomayim, tears flow

    For yiddishe tears still overflow

    And when / this glass is full Moshiach will come.

    Tears of another kind

    Could fill the glass, each drop we find

    We plead with you Hashem, please gather them in

    Tears of a simcha

    Of mitzvos done with kavannah

    With these tears, too, perhaps the glass will brim.

    Oy, oy, Ribono Shel Olam, please / look down and see

    The tears a mother and father shed freely

    Leading a choson and kallah under the chuppah

    So many tears of friends and family

    Oy, oy, Ribono Shel Olam, please / look down with pride

    See yiddishe mothers bentching the licht each Friday night

    Whispering, Yehi Rotzon Lifnei Hashem Elokai

    The precious tears of every Aim Habonim

    I am happy…it’s an inner peace of mind. Can a kind and caring husband enhance that? Yes. A happy person can be made happier. But a totally happy woman can also be DESTROYED by a cruel or chronically ungrateful spouse. Men who make jokes about “freedom” and “being finished” take ALL that a good woman does for them for granted.

    Since many people might assume there is a problem with it, it’s probably best not to – for mar’as ayin sake.Also, if people see you, and they look up to you in any way, they might assume it’s kosher in other locations where it isn’t kosher —and eat it because they “saw” you eating it.You don’t want to be the cause of that,c”v.

    I remember when we were kids, my mother had no problem letting us go out for pizza–once in awhile. But she did not often accompany us, and when she did, she was uncomfortable.She said,”If someone who has helped us with money sees us, they might think we are wasting the money.” The truth is, “needs” are subjective and relative, and after you help someone, you should not really be critical of how they spend. If you are correct in your assumption, pay their bills directly. I personally have had to accept money from others in the past, and I will never forget the moment when I bumped into the ba’al tzedakah in the “cut fruit” section!! A luxury, for sure, but it helped me stay on my diet. Immediately, this intuitive tzadik said to me, “These things make our lives much simpler,”(or similar to that) and disappeared!! That is the kind of person whom we should emulate in cases like this.

    Eclipse welcome back!! You were sorely missed!

    Day One: White List the YWN Coffee Room on my filter,after loooong break.

    Day One: (5 minutes later) Comment on Aveira Song.

    There is a lot of talent amongst these fellows.However, certain phrases will stay in people’s heads that will not increase their love and respect for mitzvos…in fact, one word of (sarcastic) laytzonus can push away a whole lot of (positive) mussar.

    It made me sad to watch that video. Sad, because it became popular so fast. You guys are usually funny…but when all eyes are upon you,there must be “damage control”.

    Mbachur…not quite.

    I wanted someone learning forever and I meant it.

    I taught for many years.

    So do hundreds of women.

    I think feminism is women killing chivalry.

    But then,it was probably borne by the lack of it.

    Never heard a woman in the world COMPLAIN she was being treated too well.

    I’m still not a feminist.

    But I encouraged “him” to learn for many years.

    A few years ago,he became a maggid shiur…his choice.

    Women who take on the Adam-Chava thing AND DON’T ASK ANYONE’S PARENTS FOR SUPPORT are to be commended,not offended,sir.

    “I thank you for listening”!

    tzippi and mytake:

    Her book about this was called “Appreciating People”.

    The book based on the Enneagram was called “Awareness”.

    I found the 2nd book way easier to follow,and it really helps you understand yourself and others—in a positive way.
