To all who don’t like Nasi’s approach:
WHAT’S YOUR APPROACH?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT?
(other then complain)
And what is the opinion of older girls?
Let’s hear what they have to say.
What’s with all the outrage against Nasi?
The Nasi statement was barely up and already there were 29 opinions disparaging Nasi-and not 1 critic has a viable alternative
We have a big painful problem on our hands, and we can go about it in 1 of 2 ways:
1) find a solution- albeit a painful one
2) stand around and complain and ridicule anyone who has a plan that is not absolutely flawless, at the expense of making progress and acting responsibly to save lives and generations.
What’s the matter with you all?
Maybe this is why the rabbonim refuse to sign. They don’t need all the groiseh eitzeh gebbers heckling them.
Did all the complainers with all their criticism ever actually do anything, or do you all sip your hot cocoa and say oh we have a problem, and then when some one finally has the resolve to actually do something, you all go tsk tsk until you move on to the next item on your agenda? What did you ever do to alleviate the shidduch crises?
If Nasi would fold up and its founders would decide they have no interest in trying to help a bunch of ingrates, would you all be happier?
mustangrider-“years ago the age gap was even larger, yet there was no such thing as a shidduch crises. what changed???”
This is purely conjecture on your part and it is utterly false. Do you know any European Jews fin di alteh heim? The last of the survivors are fading away, but if you are fortunate enough to know one , why don’t you ask him/her if what you are saying is true?
I did. And I was told that they had the same problem, and worse.
The numbers speak for themselves. You cannot dispute a mathematical equation.
Health-In a nutshell, how is this against the torah?
“Ask the simcha halls if they are giving deep discounts due to lack of demand?”
Maybe they need to build more Simcha halls.
“Are the kindergartens and nurseries closing since babies are rare?”
In my example, there are 1600 girls entering elemetary school, whereas 8 years ago there were only 600. This means that while the # of kindergartners and subsequently chasonos will be”h increase every year due to population growth,
the disparity(, and hence a shidduch crisis,) will grow accordingly, due to the standard age difference between the boy and girl getting married. It’s simple math, and your “proof” to the contrary is without merit.
“since a shidduch crisis means fewer marriages means fewer babies.”
In what way does a shidduch crisis mean fewer marriages? Or fewer babies? If the # of single older girls are increasing every year, there is a shidduch crisis, regardless of how many marriages or births there are.
He charged a nominal fee for his stories, and people were taken by his kindness and benign mannerism. He had an accomplice named Shorty that would accompany him on his story telling, and just as Wuns Uhpawn would get to the most fascinating and captivating part of the story, Shorty would help himself to some fringe benefits by “borrowing” from others pockets. He was sure they wouldn’t mind at all. One day…( this must end with a moral lesson for Gumball- compliments of Totty’s ever watchful eye)
BSD.
Kinda like pssst.
Like when you want to get someones attention, but you have an awful cold.
All letters are capitalized so you need to put a stress on the B and the S
and also on the D. Kinda like a dagggush.
Be glad you can get away with typing it (or copy and paste)
“Thats not the solution at all. Its a numbers problem.”
The proportion of boys and girls born each year is close to even. (I believe it’e 51% girls and …well you figure out the rest)The problem lies in the fact that a boy will typically look for a girl that is 3 or 4 years his junior. Because of exponential population growth, this causes disparity in the boy to girl proportion.
To illustrate, in Lakewood there were approx 600 girls who graduated 8th grade. There were approx 1600 girls entering elementary schools. So even though there will be the same # of 18 year old girls as there are 18 year old boys, there will be alot more 18 year old girls then 22 year old boys. This reverse pyramid gets worse with each passing year.
Partially for this reason, Rabbi P. Kron and others are pushing boys to date older or same age girls.
Maybe there should be a new takana-No more cradle snatchers.
Bribe them.
This was a most fascinating story. Will there be a sequel?
Surreptitiously, Lintfree established a homeland security anti lintorism task forced charged with monitoring potential hotbeds of lint production. It was kept top secret, but unfortunately the evil forces of L.I.N.T. planted a mole in the highest ranks of the C.L.A.(Counter Lintelligence Agency) and unbeknown to them were monitoring all their activity. Lint was spreading at an alarming rate, under the guise of beneficial products such as gourmet a la lint and the like, and was beginning its nefarious takeover of the unsuspecting populace…
I saw the full page add in the hamodia. I think it’s pragmatic. People work harder when there is money to be made.
They sing off tune. There is a noise pollution issue plus tzar balei chaim. Chazanus renditions should be resticted to sound proof rooms. No bellowing in the bathroom where family friends and neighbors are a captive audience.
I wonder if I can ask my neighbor to finance my ear plug purchases.
“whose mashgiach is standing on the boat or over seeing the processing that they ONLY take out the TUNA fish and dump the rest back?”
They don’t need to stand on the boat. They need to be at the processing plant and make sure that there are no octopi on the assembly line. Having said that, I believe that while the mashgiach has to be thorough, there is substantial leeway for chad bitrai batul which means that technically, you may have eaten dolphin (a great source of protein) or even Osama.
When you are tired you body is craving sleep, and the need to eat is just to compensate for sleep deprivation. Try a hot tea, which gives you a temporary full feeling and is relaxing and then hit the sack. Happy zzzzzz!
Maybe it was Osama Bin Laden?
“Maybe someone can start another one with the rule of no extraneous or outside the plot-line remarks or comments, or put them in parenthesis so they dont eclipse the story.”
Great idea-as the Chinese saying goes “fong uhn fin uhnfong”

If you are a robot and never need down time- yes- the cr is a crime-
For the other 99% of the population, this is the most kosher downtime you can possibly find on the internet.
Happy posting!

“Good point shticky, I always wondered why my father stuck his tefillin on his nose”
Probably that’s where his forehead is. He must look funny.
BREAKING NEWS!!!
Obama was just spotted in B&H Photo shopping for a new telepromter. His team is running into some difficulties.
Obama doesn’t want one made in China, because they always break. The Israeli ones move too fast for him to read (plus he is suspicious of foul play)
American made is no good either because he does not want to support corporate greed, besides for the annoyance of tech support in India.
All the while, Obama is communicating with the sales rep using flash cards.
What a mess!
Do you mean farshtupte nuz? How about giklapte hoishanes?
Who have you been hanging around?
I heard bishaim Rav Moishe ZT”L that even tho minhag yisrael kedoshim, it is kidai for a/o who has the minhag not to eat in the sukkah(myslf included) to change.
Shticky brought up some good points. I wonder what the answer is.
S/O once asked R’ Bick zt”l if he should bentch gomel since a serious accident happened right behind him on a highway and had he been a minute back he could’ve been killed. R’ Bick answered that his pants were hanging on the cloths line and they fell 2 flights to the ground, and just a few minutes before he was wearing them.
All jokes aside, I’m glad you’re alright-please drive carefully- I enjoy your illogic.
BTW, I hope you’re mochel me for agreeing with you that you are a jerk. I was just being agreeable.
Option A: They will use flash cards with big block letters.
Option B: His speech will be prerecorded and he will lip read to the best of his (in)ability.
Option C: He will head out to Martha’s Vineyard until such a time that his teleprompter is either retrieved or replaced. Hopefully there will be no major nuisances such as out break of war and the like while he is golfing.
Option D: He will read it straight off a piece of paper while his caretakers pray that he doesn’t skip a line.
Option E: He will give the podium over to Bill Clinton (so as not to keep the first lady waiting.)
Option F: Joe Biden will step up to the plate.
600- you have an aveirus tree on your block?! tsk tsk

In this friendly little town known for its hachnosas orchim lived a stingy old miser. One day the miser’s wife complained to him that it just didn’t look right, what with the neighbors inviting guests, and they never having anyone over. The miser was in a generous mood and considered his wife’s request. He went right over to the local fish market and asked the proprietor for the cheapest slice of fish he had. The fish man brought out a fish for $3.99 a pound. “What!! Too expensive” said the miser, “bring me some thing more reasonable”. The proprietor kept bringing him fish that was progressively cheaper, but no matter how cheap it was, the miser was not satisfied. Exasperated, the proprietor turns to the miser and says, “you know what, I have just the fish you are looking for” He scavenges through the garbage until he comes up with an old rancid fish. “This one’s got your name written all over it” he said, “and you can have it for 25 cents.” “You got yourself a deal” said the miser, and walked out proudly with his merchandise. He had his wife cook it up on friday, and that shabbos, to the gabbai’s surprise , the miser magnanimously offered to take home a guest. When the fish was placed before the guest, his face turned colors just from the smell. “You eat first” he told the miser ” I can’t eat before the host” “NO no ” said the miser, “I insist”. The guest took the first bite and nearly gagged, but he did not want to offend his kind host, and so he managed to get the whole portion down. A few days later, the miser got the sad news that his shabbos guest was in the hospital. The miser went right over to visit. Several days later, came the tragic news that the guest died. The miser sadly attended his levaya. That afternoon, the miser came running home to his wife , all excited. “Can you imagine what a metziah -I did hachnosas orchim, bikur cholim and halvuyas hamais-all for one quarter!”
“So the guy chases us out and says, “you know, you’re a real jerk.”
Now, I happen to be a jerk, but how did he know?”
Probably he was also a jerk, and as the saying goes, it takes one to know one.
Now if you’ll just give your phone number to YW Moderator…
YW Moderator-42-LOLOLOL! I sent a mass email with this one. Haven’t had such a good laugh in a long time!
A comedian. LOL.
Keep them in a flower pot until they take root, and shake it while attached.
Or…
Every day, shake it in the air in 6 different directions (preferably with the other minim). This is guaranteed to work for at least 1 day (Did you ever see black aravos on day 1?)
I have seen many peaople do this, and that, my friend, is testimony to its efficacy.
A firetruck.
Gefen- Are you yummy cupcake’s mom?
“Shlocks are stupider than some of my motzei shabbos posts.”

I am enjoying the cr – My wife and I read it but don’t post much anymore. You guys (and gals) are the greatest! Chag Kosher visameach!
R Chaim Ozer ZT”L once had a distinguished guest visit him on succos. He was old and frail at the time and could not withstand the cold Lithuanian winters, and so when his guest went out into the succah to eat, R’ Chaim Ozer apologized to him and explained that he would not be joining him since mitzta’ar patur min hamitzvos. A short time later, the visitor was surprised to see R’ Chaim Ozer all bundled up enter the sukkah. R’ C.O explained, true that mitzta’ar is patur from th emitzvah of succah, but not from the mitvah of Hachnasas orchim. (as we see from Avrohom Avinu)
apy-I had a feeling- figured I’ll humor you.
Sorry Nechomah, I guess I missed it too.
apy- That’s alright…
So long as you are not a pediatrician administering the mumps shot.

My sides are still splitting from his humor:)
All joking aside, he has a crazy mind and my family and I always get a great laugh from his articles.
