Uncle Moishy is a great Rebbe!! don’t doubt him.
There is a beautiful article in the Rosh Hashona edition of the Jewish Tribune in England by Rabbi B Katz, illustrating how Yom Kippur is indeed a day of at-one-ment, meaning achdus.
I was in Gateshead just coming out of (the old) Boarding School where i used to teach a boy during lunchtime. A bochur from Yeshiva ketana across the road came over to me to tell me that there are 9 planes hijacked in the sky over new york, and terrorists are flying them into buildings.
I ran home to listen to the radio and found that the truth was slightly different. My first thought was, Bin Laden ym”sh is the only person who could pull this off!!
not sure what the problem is here. do you forget to say it, or you’re worried about not saying it with a minyan?
“the g’dolim in England still do it. In addition, they toast the Queen at every simcha”
Not sure which gedolim you mean. I’ve never heard G-D save the Queen played at a yeshivishe/chareidi chasuna in England, nor have I heard the a toast to HM The Queen made. Perhaps at more modern simchas, the equivalent of MO.
Americans are more patriotic and are always busy flying their flags. We in the UK are flying flags this year because of the Diamond Jubilee, but normally its not done as much as in the US.
I assume the OP assumed that as this was a national event, the Anthem should be played. I wonder if the polish anthem would have been played at the knesiyos gedolos before the war.
When i was in the Mir, i went a few times to daven maariv motzei shabbos in his house. He davenned maariv 20/25 minutes after shkiah, which is the old yerushalmi minhag. After maariv he said gut voch and brocha vehatzlocha to all those who were there.
We also used to go on chanuka to watch him tzin licht. he lit 10 mins after shkiah, and in those days the crowd in rechov chanan wasnt too big. The whole process took about 2 minutes. (His neighbour lit about 5 minutes earlier and enjoyed the crowd, as he made the brochos in a loud chazonish voice)
We say Jimjams for pyjamas. Nasse lecho dodi for nothing, e.g, if you tidy up you’ll get a Nasse lecho dodi.
Oid yishoma is nice…
Try contacting them via Artscroll. Details of the book on their website, use product code DASH.
btw, when it first came out, it was called Dating Secrets, and was changed for the second printing.
was it only in hebrew and yiddish??!! Whats the point?
Kosher Facebook is no Facebook. if you’ve got the time, open up a gemora/mishnayos/tehilim
“lo badu pesach is just a consequence of lo adu rosh.”
This is incorrect, because Cheshvan and Kislev are not always malei or chaser. (Maybe Lo adu rosh is a consequence of lo bedu pesach.)
Many Chassidim get engaged at 17 but only get married a year later.
I think there is no answer to the OP. You have to keep to your minhag. There are the basic days which everyone here has mentioned, e.g Rosh Chodesh, chanuka, purim etc. There are days that “most” people keep, e.g. week after Shavuos and Simchas Torah and pesach sheni etc. Then there are the days that every community keeps themselves, e.g. Yom Haaztmaut, Rebbe’s Yohrtzeits, Moshe Rabeinu’s yohrtzeit, etc.
I would say the important thing is that a shul or community should keep the same days every year.
I was once in a chasidishe shul in Antwerp on the Steipler’s yohrtzeit and they ommited Tachanun. I said that I’m sure the Steipler himself would have said tachanun on that day.
real-brisker and longarekel. in the chasidish world, many people take the talis off their heads, and wear their streimelach for leining.
I have heard that there is a new MMM coming out soon. I can’t wait…
I think there is a difference between the old Miami’s , say until Only One, and the new one’s from the Simcha Song and on. The greatest is Bsiyata Dishmaya. The 2nd Miami Experience was also a great listen, I think that’s the one with the boy that goes to EY and there’s a terrorist attack…
BTW, Brits don’t rule, we ruled.
If I would start commenting on all the mistakes in Jewish music, I could write a VERY long book. Yes, this is one particularly bad one, and there are lots more.
Live in England!!
In Gateshead you Daven maariv after 11 pm and Shachris (alos) can be at 2 am. work that out. In the yeshivos they only daven vosikin, starting at 4ish to get some learning in.
The only time I had a bad Hermolis meal was a month after Rosh hashonoh, i got an old meal with Tzimmes etc. on the same trip i got an excellent hamasbia meal. Usually, it’s the opposite, although Hamasbia has improved 200000% recently.
Rabbi Emanuel in Montreal is working on something, there was an article in Mishpacha about it, but I will say that Hermolis are the market leader in this.
answer to Yossiea: The Gerrer Rebbe, The Lev Simcha ZY”A made takonos for weddings many years ago. One of them is that one may only invite 400 (I forget exactly the number) guests for the actual meal. To this day, even the biggest Gerrer Rebbishe Chasuna will only have 400 guests for the actual seudoh. (There is also the famous Spodik story, but let’s not go off the topic)
