R avraham said because of security issues, he feels yidden are more safe if we not part of eu and because he feels the eu has an anti israeli agenda….

but he said very clearly that he not in anyway telling people what to do…. many other rabbanim have said to stay…..

i heard that some people ‘keep’ (r”l) nitul on the 25th, some on the 6th, some from the 25th to the 6th…. i keep it from the the 6th to the 25th

on the subject of stupid things that people said (at a shiva) when my grandmother o”h died after the Levaya by father thanked the Chevra Kadisha and one of them said “its a pleasure”, so my grandfather who happened to hear it told him “you have funny pleasures in life”…

_______ is a lovely boy with big potential…. BUT….

_______ works well when he puts his mind to it, what a shame about this year

all of them start off ____ is a lovely boy ect ect and then continue with a ‘but’ or ‘if only’

btw rumour has it that two wweeks ago someone asked r chaim kanvievsky a sheaila to do with tischa baav and r chaim said its not a sheaila as moshiach will be here first. i dont know whether that story is true or not but i know someone personally who r shmuel aurbach told him that for these last few days before mashiach comes he should try be a better person. and another person i know who went to r’ shmuel wosner and r shmuel told him not to return to london as moshiach is coming.

referring to the first story a bochur in yeshiva sent a letter to r’ chaim and part of his sheila was if the rumour is true. he sent it two weeks ago motzei shabbos unfortunately he hasnt received a reply.

a friend of mine phoned a butcher and asked ‘Do you have chicken?’ so he answered ‘of course’ so my friend asked ‘do you have chicken legs?’ and the butcher answered ‘yes’ to which my friend replied: ‘then you must look pretty stupid!!!’

call a pizza shop who do deliveries and ask them ‘DO you deliver?’ when they say ‘yes’ ask: ‘Can i please have 2 chicken livers’ and then they will say ‘we don’t do liver’ so you ask ‘does that mean i have to come pick my order up’ and they answer ‘no we deliver’ and it just goes on and on….

rationalfrummie: you are talking about Little Froggie’s post aren’t you???

if you keep 1st half (2nd night pesach – lag baomer) then you should be allowed

Although in london most people keep 1st half, there is never weddings during the second half (and there are lots of chasunas during 1st half). My uncle says that this is proof that the minhag hamokom of london is 2nd half (which i think most yekkes do)

Aaron Chaim: on 1st day chh”m pesach when do you take off your tefilin; straight after Hagbah or once the sefer torah is back in the aron hakodesh?

i was always told that it is to motivate the children to stay awake and involve themselves in the seder although i agree that its gone overboard

i daven in munks and for sure not all the congregants are yekkish but there is a large group who are.

theres also a kehilla in Crown Heights and in Switzerland.

charliehall: once a yekke always a yekke…

maybe you should start following yekkishe minhagim like your ancestors did…

i’m a yekke through and through…

just reminding everyone of the Mishnah in Megillah which says ‘Ain bein adar rishon l’adar sheni, chutz mikrias megillah…’

i heard an answer today from R’ Elchanan Halpern Shlit”a

When they found the oil they found it buried in the ground of the Azarah, b/c a goy is considered to have Tumei Zovim – and this tumah is metamei even with just moving something. So had the oil been lying around the Yevonim would have moved it thus making it Tamei.

So we ask that maybe they did move it? we have a Klal that Sofek Tumeh nirshus harabim is tahor so even had the jug been lying around it would have been Tohor in anyway? Why did it have to be in the ground?

The Yidden planned to use an 1/8 of the Tahor oil each day and then pour in the rest of tomei oil and it would be botul (by doing it slowly, drop by drop each drop is botul). But although we say that Sofek tumeh birshus harabim is tahor it doesnt have the power to be mevatel tamei oil so it had to be buried so that there would be no Safek.

This was the nes that on the first day they found oil which there was no safek whether it was tahor or tamei

Good Shabbos

Yaff80: it could be he only switched b/c of Minhag Hamokem.

Anonymous1000: i suppose it depends on who you are.

Those who daven Ashkenaz are the ones who say you can switch from Sefard to Ashkenaz but not the other way round, whilst those who daven sefard will tell you that you can change from Ashkenaz to Sefard.

WolfishMusings: Im not saying this is p’shat but what Outreach613 could be correct.

It says that Shem told Rivka that ‘there are two nations in your womb’

then it says that ‘her time came to give birth and there were twins in her womb’ – it could be that either she gave birth to a still born and then the posuk is refering to after that ‘and there were twins in her womb’ or the torah is only telling us about the ‘alive babies’ so it says that ‘there were twins in her womb’ – two living babies

if its a iPad go to settings and press on ‘Restrictions’ and make a password.

i am not sure if you can block wifi but you can block ‘safari’ – the internet app.

you can also block anything including the camera (camera was just a random example)

to unblock it all you need to do is go back to settings and press on restrictions, type in the password and click on whatever you want to restrict

Someone ‘donated’ money to my school to buy 30 iPads and they are all restricted like that.

the only way to get around it is if you know the password (btw – i know the password to the ipads in school even after they have changed it countless times…)

The second Chapter in Tehilim says – “Ani Hashem Yiliditecha, she’al memeni ve’tena” – ask from me and i will give it.

If your question, Jewishness, was are the years 30,40,50,60 (or 60,50,40,30 – what ever you prefer) more of a Shas Ratzon than any other year, i dont think so

rebdoniel, i heard from a Sfardi that Sfardim are allowed to listen to music during three weeks. Is that true?

someone i know called up a butcher and asked “do you have chicken legs” the butcher said “yes” to which this person replied “then you must look pretty stupid” and slammed the phone down

sorry for the mistake. The methotrexate used for Rheumatoid Arthritis is given in a MUCH smaller dose than for those with cancer l’o

how about MORIAH

15th day of the Omer is Rosh Chodesh
