And they were just in time for the bris! They named him after Admur MJ and the Russians served the vodka they brought with them. L’chaim!
And whtn the admur MJ woke up in the morning he discover that while he was asleep the Rabbonim in EY paskened . . .
Lakewoodwife: Thanks for the reminder about helmets. But I would say about 1/3 of the time I see children wearing helmets they are wearing them incorrectly. Parents need to be reminded to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS and teach their children the correct way to wear a helmet. And the answer to the parents who say “what can I do, they don’t want to wear it” is “Take the bike away for 2 weeks.”
Smartcookie: The last info I heard was “back to sleep; front to play.” Through the years I’ve heard only on the back, only on the front, only on the side. In all cases, there are exceptions for special conditions. I think the trick is to use common sense and daven.
Pashuteh Yid:
You asked for an example where Chazal’s knowledge was ahead of the scientific knowledge of the time. How about the length of a lunar month? Unfortunately, almost all my possessions are in storage right now, so I can’t look up the exact figures, but if you look at the amount of time Chazal say it takes for the moon to renew itself, it is 29.????? days. If you look at the historical data from scientists, you will see that as their tools and knowledge progressed, they have come closer and closer to Chazal’s number.
Which I donated to a poor family because I got a letter in the mail saying the mother was sick, the father lost his job, the 3 oldest daughters were getting married the same month and had no money for a wedding, not to mention supporting the sons-in-law in kollel.
Back to the topic:
And wanted to take half of the tickets for himself.
So with the connections I got my car back, and with all her sheitel money I bought Chinese auction tickets.
He explained that he had been hanging out with Elvis and JFK.
Today YWN had pictures of an accident scene. I admit I looked at the pictures. But the whole time I kept wondering how these pictures helped my understanding of the story. They didn’t. The really did not serve any purpose except, imho, to be voyeuristic. Simchasaba I vote with you on this.
Remove the pictures.
And my accountant was in the same kollel and has a son!
ames:
The simple answer is ask your LOR. He knows you better than most of us. There are people who can learn science and it will strengthen their emunah. There are others, and we’ve unfortunately seen them on this thread, for whom it will have the opposite affect.
Your LOR will probably know which category you will most likely be in.
And thanks for your concern. That is really touching.
Everything is great. I’m just kind of in limbo right now. I’m in a temporary apartment until I can move into the new one on the first. I’m trying to finish up a project for work but can’t until I get more info from my boss. I need to finish up a project for my other job, but again, I’m waiting for info from that boss. So I sit here and wait and enjoy the CR.
I really don’t know anything about astronomy. Nor do I really care to. However, if you want to talk chemistry, that’s something that’s astounding. The more I learned about how the different atoms and molecules interacted with each other the more amazed I was that people could learn this and NOT believe in Hashem. And the information I learned came from science books and (non-Jewish) professors.
kapusta: I started yesterday and read slightly more than half. I finished this morning. But right now I have no life (unlike the moderators, who do a wonderful job btw).
But unforunately, I was unable to get hadassim . . .
Feivel:
Great suggestion.
I was once staying in someone’s house where they had a minyan on Friday night so one member of the family wouldn’t have to go to shul as it was difficult for him to walk. Just before they were ready to start davening one of the kids was talking. Someone said to him (and he was definitely joking), “Stop talking. Where do you think you are? In shul?”
And don’t forget to wear your seatbelts. If your child doesn’t see you wearing yours, why will he want to wear his?
To see if there was a heter.
I knew I was forgetting something.
5) There is such a word as noone. However, as was pointed out (I forgot by whom), it is difficult to read. Therefore it is frequently spelled with a hypen (no-one) or with an umlaut (don’t know how to make one of those on my laptop).
Hi all. I’m new to the CR, but to make sure I caught up, I read through all 86 pages (unlike some who just read the first few and skipped). So, here is some info I think you need:
1) Mensa was founded in England by Roland Berrill and Lance Ware. American Mensa was started, I believe, by Victor Serebriakoff when he was international president. Isaac Asimov was not the originator. He was, however, an extremely active member in NY Mensa, but not much elsewhere as he didn’t fly.
2) One should generally say “Amen” to someone’s bracha after they washed but before they eat bread. The exception would be to a child’s bracha. Since children are not chayuv in mitzvos, their brachos are for chinuch. Therefore one can say “Amen” generally, but it would be a hefsek after washing. The best thing to do is to have the children wash first. To be on the safe side, check this out with your LOR.
3) I know I’ve heard an answer about why we say the mah nistanah when we do, but I don’t remember. Check several of the ArtScroll haggados. I’m sure there is an answer in their somewhere.
4) To get fish oil out of clothing, put in the sun until it’s evaporated (probably already evaporated by now). Then soak in a vinegar and water solution overnight. Then wash in the vinegar and water solution. If the fish smell isn’t gone, repeat the soaking and washing. When the fish odor is gone, wash in detergent to get rid of the vinegar smell. (I googled it.)
Glad to be here.
