i once stopped a bachur while he was riding his bike to ask him why he wasn’t wearing a helmet. he told me he’s wearing his hat. and i sort of understand that when riding to yeshiva it’s hard to transport your hat anywhere other than your head but still, safety first.
the way the question was asked, OP wasn’t looking for an answer, only controversy. look at where he/she/it inserts commentary and you’ll see he/she/it was just trying to “tchepper”. you can tell a lot based on the way a person asks a question, as a matter of fact, the haggadah touches upon it…
@Wolf: show me a theater that’s showing Twelve Angry Men and i’ll show you a very surprised facial expression. (sorry the stakes aren’t higher like “i’ll show u a fifty dollar bill”) though i do love that movie.lol, stuffedcabbage, that’s my MO as well. most chassanim and kallah’s don’t remember what they talked about in 3 hours worth of 15 second increments with random people.
As for the “tell the kallah she’s beautiful”, that won’t work for the OP.
My venture to guess is that it most aptly describes people who are living in the yeshivishe world but are heavily influenced by an eastern european background that was not litvish, someone with great respect for the chassidishe velt and would revere a chassidic rebbe or yeshivishe gadol equally. A family that could describe themselves as heimish would be one where the zeide or even tatte reminisces “in der heim flegt men…”
Kids singing on an album is a poor substitute for kol isha.
Aderaba it’s essential, its chashivus is immense…
An email forward like this (because that’s what the article smells like) only promotes hate. I’m not advocating loving Muslims but putting all Muslims in one category like that implies that all Muslims have the same beliefs. Just like all Umos Haolam, there are good Arabs and there are unfortunately terrorists. Yes, majority of terrorists are Muslims but not the majority of Muslims are terrorists. And the main difference between Jews and Muslims is that Islam is a religion and the Judaism is what ties us together as a nation.
BTW, it was Golda Meir who quoted “If all Arabs…”
It’s a classic case of being holy at another person’s expense. Priorities have shifted and many people place more emphasis on bein adam lamakom than bein adam lachaveiro.
One Rosh Hashana my family tasted durian

It tastes like a cross between 2 week old eggs and sauteed onions but it’s a pudding-like texture. And the smell!!! Our garbage man refused to pick up our garbage the next day.
Frum girls don’t go bowling because they find it boring. And why do you always find frum boys there?? Serious bittul zman going on…
It’s a fantastic trip and they take you to all the main cultural (read: not necessarily but does include religious) sites. It’s action packed, and you’re always on the move. The tour guides won’t give you the yeshivishe insight you would look for if you were custom planning your own trip. They will give you the zionistic slant on things and you need to take it with a grain of salt. The group that you are with will impact greatly on the outcome of the trip. I traveled with a great group where (almost) everyone had their heads screwed tightly on their shoulders and we made a great kiddush Hashem for the very mizrachi tour guide and the not yet frum chayalim. We also had the seychel to say no parts of the itinerary and had it changed for us (such as removal of the “pubbing” on motzai shabbos and replacing a day trip to visit kevorim). So it really is what you make of it. If you feel the trip is lacking anything and u have the time, it is well worth it to extend your ticket.

What’s interesting about this structure is that it’s all one house.
As one who (admittedly) listens to secular music, I am okay with the fact that Jewish singers use secular tunes to Jewish themes and even pesukim from tanach. However, there are some songs in the mainstream secular music scene that are about as shmutzik as they come, songs that even non-Jews cringe when they hear it and don’t let their kids listen to it, that are being sung by top Jewish singers today. Of course they don’t use the song itself, but they work it into their intros, throw a few notes into the actual song, borrow some lyrics and change love of person to love of Hashem… I was at a wedding the other day and blushed when i heard the intro of a certain song being played. Immediately (and probably inadvertently) the crowd began moving in a way that was not becoming of them. So even people who don’t know the origin of the song (and it’s filthy, filthy lyrics) seemed to be affected by it. So singers, go ahead, keep on using secular music but please keep it rated PG.
Even though i am a major Journey’s fan, the most heartfelt song imo is My Little One by Ira Heller.
