We have a Grand Canyon in Haifa. Of course, it’s a mall.
Some of the women in shul finish shemoneh esrei, then, instead of standing in place, or even sitting in their place, go to the back of the ezras nashim. They don’t go together as a group, they each go separately. Some read Tehillim, others read something about the parsha. It’s not a lot of women, just a few.
Some return to their seats at the beginning of charez hashatz, others at the beginning of kedusha.
Why do they do this?
If you’re going to hold by the ban, you have to hold by the ban in its entirety. I’m guessing that if you’re visiting the CR, you don’t hold by the ban.
I don’t know, but I have a strong feeling it depends on why you want to pick it up.
If you are putting it on an empty pot, it doesn’t have to be there from before Shabbos.
Haifagirl: That’s absolutely incorrect.
No it isn’t.
You need three conditions to return food to the fire:
– flame covered
– intention to return
– still holding onto pot.
Not putting it on the floor is absolutely one of the requirements. The flame’s being covered is a precondition. However, if there is no blech on the fire when you remove the pot, you can put the blech on after you remove the pot, before you put it back.
Ask your LOR.
(Btw, you made a linguistic error in your post. You have been duly reported to the internet police.)
You’re right. I apologize.
I’ve been gone for almost three years. I’m from WRP. You can ask around. Lots of people know me. I have a feeling if you knew me, you would know my identity. How many Chicagoans live in Haifa?
– if you take a pot off and put it down on a surface you can not put it back on
Not the way I learned it.
To return food to the blech:
As you remove it you must have in mind that you will return it.
You must keep at least one hand on the pot.
You may not it on the floor.
B’dieved, two out of the three will work.
I’m from Chicago. Maybe I know you.
Chazerei – meant nosh, but stems from the word, chazer (in yiddish), chazir – in Hebrew, a pig.
That’s the word I grew up with, too.
Not just any dentist, but one who specializes in TMJ. If you’re in Jerusalem, I can recommend one. If you’re in NY, Maimonides Hospital has (or had) a TMJ program there.
Whose shiur?
If anyone can come on here and say they have any form of unfiltered internet and have never been on an inappropriate site, I would like to meet you, because you dont exist. I love these guys who say I can trust myself, its normally the addicted to shmutz type.
I have unfiltered internet. I’m sure many of the sites I visit would be considered inappropriate by some.
There is one site I visit regularly, and in fact, am a moderator on that site. It has several sections, including an “adults only” section. I have never visited that section. I don’t see any reason to.
Since I spend quite a bit of time on that site, I would hate to block it because of a section I don’t even see.
As for Facebook, I would not be in touch with most of my relatives if Facebook didn’t exist. I have some cousins I hadn’t heard from in 20 years, but now we keep up with each other regularly thanks to Facebook. If someone posts something I don’t like, I block that person. It’s not that difficult.
Nevertheless, I don’t agree with your analogy. If someone sees something on tv, they will tell you I saw it on tv, not I saw it on my electricity. But if you see something through the www, you will say you saw it on the internet.
In other words, because most people use the wrong terminology, the internet should be punished. Interesting.
I wish there was a “Like” button in the CR. If there were, I would have clicked it for computer777’s post.
Maybe I was being nice but not correcting all your mistakes, or maybe I was being not nice by not helping you to improve yourself. 😉
I would say GFR should:
1) start a new thread titled “Apology.”
2) ask the mods to close and/or delete two of the threads.
If this is not done within a specified time limit (three days, for example), then GFR should be considered a troll and punished accordingly.
You wouldn’t need to get rid of the internet to get rid of the World Wide Web. That would be like getting rid of electricity because you don’t want television.
There is a world of difference between “whose” and “who’s.”
I can understand your complaints when there’s no punctuation at all
There is no punctuation at all in the title.
Okay. This thread has been making me crazy for a week. Can one of the mods please change “whose” to “who’s”?
. . . just like an older single can’t be considered an adult until he gets married. [edited for grammar and punctuation]
So true.

So true.
How did you not sell one item?
How do u judge a singer if hes good? [sic]
Why would I want to judge a good singer?
If you’re a guy, I’m not so sure Pilates is for you.
Joseph Pilates was a guy.
what about me i’m in my forties and they treat me like a child
You are 100 percent right! And it’s not just senior citizens who do it. Many married people who are younger than I treat me like a child.
Oh! You want to lose weight. The way you titled the thread I thought you were commanding me to lose weight. I certainly need to, but wouldn’t appreciate hearing it from some anonymous poster in the CR.
Think of a 2-digit number between 1 and 50 in which both digits are odd and different. Do you have your number? If you don’t, please don’t read ahead, but if you do is it thirty seven?
I picked 35.
And by the way, how many two-digit numbers are there between 1 and 9? I would use “between 10 and 50.”
works every time
I think the posters here have proven that’s not true.
haifagirl: Why do you make a brocho?
Because my rav told me to.
WATS
Wide Area Telephone Service?
hp or dell???
Apple.
Most women I know make a bracha. I do, too.
Absolutely not.
If only you’d have studied English, then you could have posted a grammatically correct message.
The confusion stems from the contractions could’ve etc.
We were evicted from Gan Aiden because of the world’s first chumra
I love that. I’m going to quote it. I hope you don’t mind. Unfortunately I can’t attribute it to you, unless you let me change your name to fewerchumras. 🙂
Pretty much anything needed in the way of toiletries (and toilet paper) is available here.
I can’t tell you anything about yeshivos, but I’m sure most of them know what they’re doing.
How much good do barricades do, anyway?
Just this past Shabbos, here in Haifa, I saw a FedEx truck move a barricade so he could get through. Since he moved it, another vehicle also went through.
And there’s the reason you don’t teach people with autism. It isn’t a disease. Your ignorance is showing. I hope you’re not anybody’s teacher.
P.s. you have won the award for the most stupid answer CR answer in history.
Sincerely,
Your teacher that asked you to listen in class!
I don’t think there was anything wrong with his answer.
And I pray you weren’t his English teacher.
. . . if he gets elected again, I’m moving to germany [sic]
Germany? Really? Not Eretz Yisroel?
golden mom: How on earth do you expect to teach your children to communicate properly?
Why is there an apostrophe in the title?
because if it is a real plain cross, why are you so sure they aren’t aware of it?
Interestingly, one of my co-workers came to work yesterday wearing a cross. I asked her about it. She didn’t realize it was a cross. She thought it was just a design. It was a real, Eastern Orthodox cross.
Years ago a friend of mine was engaged to a Sephardi. Since we were both moving to EY, it was likely I would eat in her home sometimes. We asked our Rav, and we were told she would have to keep separate non-kitniyos keilim if I were to eat there on Pesach.
Very rarely does a day go by that I am not overwhelmed with how privileged I am to be living here. Every day I thank Hashem that He brought me to this Land. I can’t imagine why anybody would want to leave.
I was recently a guest at a meal in someone’s home. I was the only BT. At one point I just screamed. Seriously. To me, bad grammar has the same effect as nails on a blackboard.
The scream was caused when somebody said, “He had went . . . .” That was immediately followed by somebody else’s saying, “He had came . . . .”
It was painful.
It’s very difficult to find a man, especially a frum one, who has even the vaguest concept of grammar. When I find one, I try not to let him go so easily.
For the record, I am not nfgo3. However, if nfgo3 is male and single, let’s talk. 😉
I started around 9 and finished around 10:30.
It looks more like the Red Cross where all sides are equal. The christian cross has a stem.
What is a “christian cross”?
Is that the cross used by the Catholic and many protestant churches? The cross used by the Coptic church? The cross used by many of the Eastern Orthodox churches? They don’t all look the same, you know. Some of them have arms of equal length.
