According to the Shulchan Aruch Harav the sound of a Shofar is supposed to sound like someone is crying.

One of the reasons that most Litvisheh Shuls don’t have kids under a certain age come to Shul, because they believe the kids Shter the Davening.

My apologies. How about this one- TRIANGLES

4 letter words can make this thread unbearably long. So, why don’t we implement 5 letter minimum? anyone agree? I’ll start.

OK OK so it’s not 5 letters but, you get the picture. 🙂

I think nnuts is trying to find out what is appropriate for a first date in Toronto, as opposed to what’s done in Brooklyn, etc.

No Jew has a right to call another Jew any sort of names. V’Ahavta L’reiacha Komocha. The Chofetz Chayim says that one of the strongest forms of Loshon Hora is to talk about an entire community.

I Daven Sefard. Occasionally I Daven in a Litvisheh Shul that of course Davens Ashkenaz. I Davened there The first 2 nights of Pesach. The Minhag there is not to say Hallel by night. Being that there are a lot of people that Daven Sefard in this Minyan, they implemented, that after Kadish Basra they wait a couple of minutes for those who want to leave and then start Hallel. About 7 people walked out, the rest stayed including the Rov.

Fact or Fiction?

Truly uplifting.

I just wanted to know for posterity sake. I’ve had over 300 stitches in my lifetime (most of it before the age of 9) so I was curious. And no that’s not a typo. 🙂

Ah Gut Voch!

To all those who are bashing “ofcourse” about being earlier than she was, let me tell you a little story that happened to me recently.

Just a little background first. I had been coming a little late to Shachris every morning for a while(I mean between Baruch Sh’amar and Yishtabach and not later C”V). A couple of Months ago I decided that this can’t go on and I needed to get there earlier. It is difficult but Baruch Hashem I’m getting there earlier than before but not quite there yet consistently.

So, I get up one morning a few weeks ago and decide today I’m going to get there before they even start. I leave about Seven minutes before they start Hoidu. Now, the Shul I go to is about Three away on foot so, that leaves me with Four minutes to put on Tephilin and I’m ready to go(I’d already said Berachos at home). I get to the corner of the Shul I was going to and whoops I slip on the Ice that was there. i fell on my hip and the whiplash sent my chin into the ground. I was dazed for a minute, someone helped me up and I started shakily on my way. I was determined to get to Shul early(still had a few minutes left). As I was going I decided to check my chin just in case it was bleeding. Turns out that it was, big time. To make a long story short,approximately three and a half hours and three different Doctor’s offices later I got approximately Seven stitches( I say approximately because when I asked the Doctor he said, he doesn’t count).

My point being made is, that nobody can judge why another person didn’t make it somewhere early, on time or whenever. Like someone who’s pregnant, like has been discussed in this thread at length.

We are entitled to our opinions but, we are required to be Dan L’kaf Z’chus.

A week full of blessings to all.

Maishe Dovid: Yungerman Or Bachur?

Although I haven’t been in the “Freezer”, I have been in the same situation. Most if not all Shadchanim give a little different description then the truth. I have come to realize that no one can be trusted when it comes to looks and sometimes age. Of the 2 or 3 girls that I “liked” in my dating experience, turned out not to be what I was looking for looks wise. My advice is to give it a try and not necessarily blame the girl by canceling the date.

Be’Hatzlacha Rabbbah and may we hear wonderful news soon.

I agree only in the case where there is an extreme difference in the pricing and/or their trying to show off.

Years ago I made the mistake of not being Dan L’kaf Zechus about a group in a limo. As it turns out, they got the limo for free for the entire Purim. Before we are quick to judge, there may be factors not too obvious for us at that moment.
