I was told that it is to represent ?? ????? ?? ??? ?? ????
i think that the mechaber says that one follows the majority in choosing which color it is – or even to decide which material it is.

R’ boruch kaplan was sent by rabbi herman to learn in Europe, he was a talmid of the Brisker Rov – R’ Yitzchok Ze’ev solovaitchik.
Although the Brisker rov was generally opposed to poeple going to the US, he told the kaplans that they could go.
Rebbetzin Kaplan was a talmida of Soro shenirer.
The families were eventually meshadech when R’ boruch kaplan’s son r’ nechemya was taken as a son in law by Haga’on R’ dovid soloveitchik, rosh yehsivas brisk.
Lapid has suggested that an extra 15% of people serve, with everyone serving two and a half years instead of three. That way the army will not have too many people, or waste money, but the burden will be equally shared.
The army would obviously prefer less people there for a longer period of time, this will svae them money on training, and the average soldier will be on hgiher standard. However lapid system will allow for more reserves.
I am not coming to justify lapid in any way, however I am responding to the OP’s question.
Ya’ir lapid would like to reduce the draft from 3 years down to 2.5, that way there will be the same amount of soldiers in the army, without extra expense, while sharing teh burden equally.
While everyone here undoubtedly realises the truth of the chareidi position, one cannot fully blame the nonreligious for their complaints.
there is a similar dress code for visitors in buckingham palace
Do you guys know that in the harrods department store in london, by appointment to HM the queen, there is a whole dress code, and it includes not wearing sneakers
I stood there drionking in the sights and sounds far too amazed to speak. In one corner stood malfoy’s shoes, a simple pair of clark’s shoes with two velcro straps, in yet another stood his feet in their navy socks, our own shoes lay in the middle, while the old senile man had resumed scribbling over them with his purple ink, the lady waving her wand around with various incantinations which didn’t seem to work, and malfoy dangling right in front of my nose.
I was really too amazed to act, too paralyzed to even think, but chicken pulka pulled my sleeve. “Let’s take our shoes and get out of here”
We ran out, and excaped up the steep stones stairs, our invisibilty cloaks covering our tracks, and we only breathed after two floors, when we stopped to put our shoes back on.
In the meantime, shoe store assistant was calling cornhauser/voldermort to court for deleting her thread from YWN coffeeroom.

If you marry for money than the ba’al hamai;oh becomes the ba’al hadei’ah
Good point, I’ll keep it in mind.
My kids assure me that maddern was a ??? ????? , , but i personally think that when the kids forgot their sneakers it wasn’t such a bad idea, it taught them ideas of responsibility, that if you forget soemthing you need you are stuck without it, while confiscating shoes for coming late to school was a bit more unfair.
thanks
Much of the rosh yeshiva’s words were not quoted.
He said that were we ourselves to appreciate the value of our learning and act as such then the chiloinim would also respect it. MOST of his words were a mussar shmooze to the bochurim to encourage their hasmada – as well as to underline the gravity of the situation in theie eyes.
I don’t know whose idea it was originally, corn… or maddern, but they were both strange.
C. is now in manchester.
Do you remeber king? Now, htta was a good teacher.
Chicken pulka – it was PH, a rabbi C was then principal (1990’S). He was eventually “moved on”. They also did it if kids forgot their sneakers [trainers] for their weekly sports sesion.
It was both painful and humiliating for the children, and I did not mean it as such serious advice. There was once a whole thread here on confiscating shoes in schools – you can probbaly find it under chinuch.
I know that many people here don’t like this idea, but in my sons’ school, if a boy came late too often, they confiscated his shoes. [i’ve mentioned the idea elsewhere in the CR.] It definitely makes them desperate to get to school on time.
shoe store assistant, i did in fact to mean that thay do NOT go to the factories on a nichans ve’yoitzai basis – i suspect that the mods decided to change it.
BTW, R’ hennoch padwa zatza”l was on the kedassia beis din in london – a smaller hechsher serving the yeshivish and chassidish communities, not the london beis din, his hechsher did not produce a full list, only a much smaller list on medicines etc…
R’ ehrentrau does not carry in any eiruv.
Veltz meshugene
“Golders Greener, since you blatantly lied when you said that they don’t go to the factory, and then later acted as though that was a minor oversight, I don’t think that you have much credibility on this subject.”
I clearly explained that they do go to the factory on a yoitzei veniuchnos – i.e. unaanounced visits at all times of operations.
By the way it happens to be true.
PBA, sorry for any misunderstandings that i may have indirectly caused, …. but i am bit interested in knowing what is wrong with the moshol of SSA, at least the one to the diferent makes of shoes?
I assume that you are not just using rhetoric to cancel her point, because you yourself are doing what you accuse her of doing.
Gavra at work, while the idea is debatable, Bennet’s caring for toira and mitzvos, is unfourtunatley undebatable. He wants to draft all the frummers, legalise intermarriage and various other issurim, etc…
No offence meant, but aren’t some of you people basically asking about yediya and bechira. I mean, if halacha be’yoduo she’eisov soinei es ya’akoiv, then how does that add up with anyone’s responsibility for any consequences starting with any goyim?
Please remeber that churban habayis was also broght about by bar kamtza angering the roman empire
The best bubby, thanks for the corrections. [i didn’t mean to say that thay have never been down to the factory, what i
meant was that there was a difference between the regular level of nuchnas ve’yoitzei [done without prior warning], and a one time, or even annual visit] Although i do not know rabbi conway personally, e widely recognised as anexcellent maven in today’s food technologies etc..
PBA, i meant nothing against the london beis din, all i meant to
say was that they have a lower level of supervision on drambuiee, and to reccomend other liquers with full supervision. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
I am not aware of all their rules, i am however aware that many hachsherim “approve” things and mentiiion that they are bishul accum, or even cholov accum, so it is important to keep up to date of the various changes. They publish an annual list under the name “the real kosher food guide.”
At the same time, i must point out that it is out of place to refer to this basic information as “british politics”, i meant no more than simple facts that everyone agrees on.
There was an unfourtunate storyof a yid whose non jewish wife was only prepared to allow a jewish burial if she would eventually be interred adjacent to him.
If i remember right the question was brought to r’ osher westheim, who eventually referred it to r’ yisroel yaakov fisher zatza”l, who allowed him to be buried at the side of the beis hakevarois with her next to him. I don’t know if they required a fence.
The OP realises that a table is compared to a mizbayach, but nonetheless points out that koihanim were even allowed to walk on the mizbayach.
I beleive that unbtil today many chassidim walk on the table at the rebbe’s tisch.
If you are looking for a good liquer with a good hechsher i would rerccomend either shmerling chocolate, or there is a liquer called advoscotch, which althoughg whiskey based is only about 17%, and is an improvement on advoca’at.
as an aside, brittish researchers have shown that people who drink 40 ml of liquer twice a week, or 200 ml of wine are healthier.
Drambuie is not SUPERVISED by the london beis din, it is APPROVED, which is similar to the list system used in europe, meaning that the beis din know the ingredients and have checked them out, but have never actually been down to the factory.
The london beis din has two separate logos, the hebrew one is actually a hechsher, meaning that they have the level nichnas veyoitzei required by shulchan oruch, the english lettering means apprpoved.
London beis din was headed until a few years ago by the ga’on r’ chanoich ehrentrau, today it is headed by r’ menachem gelley, and rabbbi jeffrey conway is responsible for kashruth issues.
I didn’t pick up on your problem until the author wrote “The next day his mother was lounging around the house in white cooton socks….” I find it remarkeable that thewre was no other reference to her clothing.
They have some really hcovushe rabbonim in the new seminarry, including r’ avrohom katz, for hashkafa – he is an amzing speaker and a special person, and r’ elozor lieberman for halocho – he is one the senior rabbonim in gateshead and a massive talmid chochom, with very clear delivery.

BYEnglish- Thanx for the lesson in english, However I think we should leave this title Because no one in the CR know s what paraprosdokians
means besides you (and now me)
“I don’t belong to an organized political party. I’m a Democrat.”
“I’ve had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn’t it.

Paraprosdokians(from Greek,” meaning “beyond” and “expectation”) is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part:
? A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.
? A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
? A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you will look forward to the trip.
? A fool and his money are soon elected.
? Buses stop in bus stations. Trains stop in train stations. On my desk there is a work station.
? Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
? Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
? Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
? How is it that one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?
? I always take life with a grain of salt, plus a slice of lemon, and a shot of tequila
? I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.
? If you are supposed to learn from your mistakes, why do some people have more than one child?
? Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
? . Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright
until you hear them speak..
? Some cause happiness wherever they go. Others whenever they go.
? Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.
? To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.
? To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.
? We never really grow up; we only learn how to act in public.
? When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the Fire Department usually uses water.
? Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?
? Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars but check when you say the paint is wet?

@frummt in the tummy:
I ABSOLUTELY did not copy anything. So don’t try to rationalize and say “you do it too” , because even though you do, I most definately do not.

Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?
My answer – Because all of the garbage from the advertisements would fill too many landfills and no one would be able to talk on the phone because of all of the automated phone calls persuading them to vote for one of the 50 candidates. Can you imagine a debate on that scale?

Obviously this level of bitachoin is unsuitable for a regular person.
There is an amazing story worth repeating here.
HaGa’on R’ Dovid solovietchik, Rosh Yeshivas Brisk/”R’ dovid’s” was vacationing in switzerland many years ago, when he met a wealthy yid of hungarian descent. the yid was happy to meet a son of the brisker Rov, and at the end of the conversation handed the Rosh yehsiva one thousand dollars, a massive sum at the time. The Rosh Yeshiva explained that he does not wnat to accept the donation, [at the time it wasn’t so easy to transfer money from foreign countries] if Hahsem wants me to have this money he can bring it to me in eretz yisroel too. The g’vir was so impressed that he later donated the entire building for the yeshiva, and still covers singlehandedly over half the yeshiva’s budget!!!!
a gerrer chossid went to an optician and asked for plastic glasses. The optician brought him a modern stylish pair with thick plastic frames. The gerrer looks them over and asks “aren’t these rather goyish?” “no,” says the optician, “beleive not one goy walks round wearing glasses like these….”

Sorry, shoe store assistant and venahapoich, i was dan you lekaf chiva that you are one and the same…….
Anyway, keep us smiling.
By the way i totally fail to understand the origianl post, why should a hurricane hit america because yidden in eretz yisroel are makpid on not using shabbos electricity? If it’s because of the non frum, they are oiver far more serious aveirois, and if it because of the heimisher, they are generally makpid.
Venahapoich, surely you mean the birchas koihanim kit?
Yerushalaymer, the gemoro in moi’ed koton is refering to one’s immediate teacher of toira, not to any talmid chochom. there are poiskim who suggest that godoil has a din of raboi muvhak, but that needs to be discussed on an indivual basis.

Surely the security will make our kinderlach remove their shoes… evem if they remember to bring their sneakers. Wouldn’t send my chidlren there.
Posted 4 days ago # “
I can think of many reasons not to send my daughters to such a seminaryt, but i think tat taking off theri shoes would be a small price to pay for increased security.
For those looking for the ????? ???? it is in
??”? ?”? ?’ ?”?
i think that it is pretty clear.
UK schools are not rquired to teach any goyishe literature, and very few of them do, and someone here has spoken loshon haro about an entire country.
R’ leib gurwicz was born and bred in lithuania, and supposedly lost his first shtelle in england when he reffered to egypt as egg-whipped,so i cannot beleive he read, far less understood shakespeare. He was mechanech his sons, hage’oinim r’ avrohom and r’ chayim oizer sheyichyu with a brisker chinuch, and i find it hard to beleive that they can read shakepeare either.
I think this should be put on the leitzonus thread, and the person who suggested it be mekabel nidui, and ask mechila by his kever.
The single best thing about obama is that he will help netanyahu win the next election in israel.
We are discussing two gedoilei oilam, and i am AMAZED that YWN publushed such posts, questioning the practices of gedoilim, or making letzonus of therm. “Both of these gedoilim are noiheg with the midda of perishus and have virtually no hano’oh from oilam hazeh, so i personally would be scared to start with them.”
I too would be scared to start with, not so much because of perishus, but because they are both massive ,massive talmidie chachomim.
I too am moiche.
ybrooklyn – most frum stories can only be understood by someone on a similar level of frumkeit as the author. It is a bit unfortunate.
BTW, 147, a massiva massiva mazel tov on your recent wedding, may you see much yiddishe nachas, gezunteheit, and i ask you mechila if i upset you.
Sorry, takahmamash, you are correct. only 88.5% of american oilim go to RBS.
147, i respect your opinion very much, and i more than understand that you confused two brothers, i was however surprised that the mods published an “engagement announcement” without first checking the details, especially when the “chosson” in question is an odom godoil, – and especially seeing that he is not even on the market!!!
147, are you sure? R’ shmuel has been an almn for close to twenty years loi aleinu, and i don’t think he wanted to remarry.
MODS, i don’t think you should havepublished a comment like 147’s.
mrs. katz – you seem tomlive in eretz yisroel, so you probably aware that the chazoin ish was opposed to using water from the amins on shabbos, and that that “marocho” was less accepted. How do yuo connect that to the hurricane?
What demographics is Har Nof? Ashkenaz/Sefardic, Chareidi/Daati/Chiloni?
All.
There is a not nice joke about Har Nof, that since the americans tend to live at the bottom, sefardim live at the middle, and the so called yeshivishe oilem at the top, to refer to it as teivas noiach!!!!
If you guys are serious, you best bet is probably Ramat beit shemesh – that is where at least 90% of american oilim live.
Hatzlacha.
