watermelon: Yes, the cover had a picture of a piano surrounded by a silver foil-like thing. It was called Mesorah. I’d love to find a copy of it somewhere!
watermelon, Mr. Music is the name of the song, but I’m not sure who produced the album. It might have been Meir Sherman, but I don’t think his name was on the cover. Can you remember the name of the album?
Nobody got this one yet:
“And the people passing by me just don’t seem to understand how my music seems to touch their very soul”
Anybody? I will be surprised if anyone gets this. It was on a tape I had when I was a kid, which I haven’t seen sold anywhere in years. It’s not on Mostly Music’s website or any others I can find.
BadHairDay:
1. Deaf Man In the Shteeble – Country Yossi
3. I believe it’s Moishe Online – Destiny 4
4. Lornero Family – Destiny 1 (great song!)
I’ll be surprised if anyone gets this one…
“And the people passing by me just don’t seem to understand how my music seems to touch their very soul”
1. Candles from the HASC concert
2. Goodbye Galus – Avraham Fried
3. I believe it’s from Destiny. I can’t remember the name of the song though.
Wolf: Ebbets Field?
Daas Yochid: Yes, it was Hineni… sorry, I haven’t heard the song in years, I wasn’t sure I had it right.
I got married in Vayoel Moshe in Williamsburg. It was a very nice hall, nice sized dance floor, and I’m told the price was very affordable.
Next time someone calls, tell him you’ll donate a billion dollars. It will be one penny per year over the next one hundred billion years. Ask them to send one hundred billion envelopes to your house so you can mail out the pennies to them.
I once heard that a kabbalistic explanation for this, Unfortunately the moderator has edited out the explanation for modesty reasons
As for other things such as shomer negiah, they are all in place to prevent men and women from giving into their temptations and doing something wrong. From the kabbalistic view I heard, the hair only becomes an issue after the night of the wedding, so it doesn’t need to be covered beforehand. Touching someone can cause issues before marriage, so it’s forbidden then also.
I have a small scar on my forehead that looks like a script yud (it’s a small line). Yud is also the first letter in a name of Hashem – maybe it’s a sign!
One more:
“But what will become of our forefathers’ devotion?”
blinky: Don’t know that one either. Here’s another:
“So irritating, like a thorny rose”
aries2756: Yes, some are lucky to see great-grandchildren. My grandmother is now, bli ayin hara, awaiting the birth of her first great-great-grandchild!
I always tell my kids to call their aunts and uncles “Aunt ___” and “Uncle ___”. Except for one of my sisters. She says she wants to be “Tante ___”. So I told my kids to call her “___ neini”.
believer3, you just made a bigger statement about your community: “We judge you based on how you dress, not on how you act.”
My kids call their great-grandmothers Savta.
as countless names are called out, desperately by family, will it ever end?
Daas: I don’t know that one.
BLinky: Unity, MBD
The nope was directed at apushatayid. LAer is correct on both.
Nope
intersaanteh: If those stats exclude widows/widowers, then the numbers are actually good. After all, 100% of people who get married a second time already were divorced once. So there’s a 40% decrease in their divorce rate!
Fields of grain
Drops of rain
What are they trying to say?
stop the desecration no more violation
preserve the city’s sanctity
I don’t recall if it was R’ Reisman or R’ Belsky, but one of them observed the cows that underwent the procedure. Very few of them died within a year (I don’t say none, because they could die from other causes). The death rate was no higher from these cows than the cows that didn’t have the procedure. Because a treifah means it will die within a year, he concluded that the procedure does not make the animal a treifah.
LAer, I’m not exactly sure where that second song is originally from. It’s called Keeping Watch, and it’s part of a medley on English Classics. I’m not sure where they took it from.
A quick search showed me the name: I Search, from JEP 2: Return My Children. Great song, great album!
musictomyears: That’s from JEP. I can’t remember the name of the song, but I remember lots of the words.
“I followed that voice, and soon I could see, a room filled with children, no different from me…”
Reaching out toward the sky
I yearn to be free
There is still hope for tomorrow
So get off the bed and walk up the block
You’ll knock on his door and you’ll say
The OU also has this article:
We are the fruit
And the moist seed
We shan’t forget
The axemen’s decree
apushatayid: Isn’t there a rule about no non-Jewish music in the Coffee Room? Wouldn’t that mean no Stairway to Heaven?
Ok, seriously, these jokes are getting cornier and cornier. Can you please stop it already?
Yenta:
1: Unity, MBD
2: Don’t hide from me, Avraham Fried
YW Band:
1: Touched by a Niggun, Baruch Levine
2: Just One Shabbos, MBD
Nobody got mine from earlier yet!
This issue has been discussed many times before here (you can find the other threads if you look), so here is what resulted:
R’ Moshe allowed any milk in the US.
The b’shas hadchak wording was in a specific case, in a letter to a yeshiva that was thinking of switching from cholov Yisrael to regular milk. It wasn’t for the general population.
He did say baal nefesh yachmir for everyone.
R’ Yisrael Belsky now has a different heter for any milk. It can be found on the OU website. It differs from R’ Moshe’s heter in many ways.
snapplegrl:
1. I forgot the name, it’s on Journeys 2, the story with the candle
3. Yerushalayim, from MBD
5. Is that the MBC song about Y2K?
Avraham Fried, Don’t Hide from Me.
Here’s one for you:
But the long white robes, and the chanting in the streets
It left you cold, your soul still had to seek.
I heard he was in New Square, and a hen was walking towards him… he realized he was on the wrong side of the street!
snapplegrl: that’s from Lonely People, by MBD
eclipse, if you know the song Sing Zaidy Sing, you’d see I’m right about #2 also 🙂
2: Country Yossi – Sing Zaidy Sing
3: Matisyahu – One Day
Not sure about #1
The BOB Revolution is really good.
I have a feeling that this is yet another Joseph thread. He’s rich, he’s poor, now he has rich parents and wants to leave yeshiva for college. It sounds exactly like the type of debate he likes to start.
Yeah, it’s a pretty good representation. You’re right that I don’t know you too well – I think I met you only a handful of times. IIRC, you told me that as good of a softball player as I was, you were still better 🙂
You’re always the feminist!
I have also had guests who were extremely rude. Someone once told us that the amount of food we had was “skimpy” because she’d been to places where they serve chicken, beef, 3 different salads and 4 different kugels. We only had 2 chicken dishes, one salad, and 3 kugels. She was also just really overall annoying. We told the person who asked us to host her not to send her again. We also told her that referring her to others might not be a great idea.
