    Indeed, maybe she does. There are no guarantees in life.

    I agree! Except that it wasn’t a B minus. It was a D.

    Picturesq – Yes, I do have seforim at home that were written before 1787 (my chumash, for example…) and I’m not suggesting they be rewritten.

    However, I also do not use them as a guide to grammar.

    Those seforim are important because of their content, but everyone understands that grammar and word choice changes over time.

    Jewish Thinker, while giving others advice is great, there is a time and a place for everything. You should not be advising others while you and they are both in the middle of shemone esrei.

    Not to mention that you WILL almost certainly be disturbing others.

    I think you should find a more suitable location for your Menora!

    Sunglasses in winter are fine; the sun can be pretty bright sometimes – especially when there’s snow on the ground.

    There are actually three different types of Karet 1 – dying early, 2 – a spiritual “cutting off” in the next world, and 3 – a combination of both 1 and 2.

    And yes, it is worse that Misa B’dei Shamayim.

    Not that I would suggest trying either of them!

    If you think you will forget to say V’sain Tal U’motor, what makes you think you’ll remember to look at the sign?

    Or do you regularly pause in middle of davening to take random glances around the room?

    Do these posts acutally get reviewed by anyone? When I post something, it appears in the coffee room instantly. I can’t believe anyone is actually looking over my shoulder as I am typing.

    Well said!

    How about this one: People are always looking for the city of happiness, but they don’t realize it’s in the state of mind.

    It’s just a matter of treating people decently. Don’t say bad things about others. And don’t speak any language around people who don’t understand it.
