Hey, OP: Remember the words of Rabbi Ben Stern: “I told you not to be stupid, you moron.”
Ivermectin: Safer than bleach, just as effective.
The way Biden left Afghanistan was the worst, except for all the other ways that his predecessors left Afghanistan.
Two frum guys walking on Boro Park street pass a church with a sign outside, readisayng: “Convert to Xianity in one hour, receive $10,000.” So one guy says, “You know, I’m tired of being a frum Jew, I’m going to give it a try, and I could really use $10,000.” So he goes in, comes out an later, and the other guy asks him, “Did you do it? Did you really convert? And did you get the $10,000?” And the first guy says, “You ask me about the $10,000? Is that all you people care about?”
Red is NOT the most highly visible color. This matter was studied years ago, by a respected group of experts (I regret I cannot remember the name of the experts or the study). The study concluded that the most visible color is a neon yellow with hints of green, a lot like the color of the Hatzolah ambulances. I think the fire trucks are still red because of a long tradition, and red is visible enough.
I am glad to see that someone corrected the typo in the headline, but now my first comment makes me look stupid. I prefer to do that myself.
I thought cross currents had to do with the flow of water in a river used for Xian baptism.
You got it all backwards. Noach was a tzadik. Naoch was a tazdik.
It depends on what game is on TV: Michigan vs. Ohio State – I would watch the game. Michigan vs. Yeshivah U., I would daven for safety of Yeshivah players. Clemson vs. Auburn: Go to the Tish, it’s shorter than than the fahrbengen.
??????????????????????????????
Push-up contest: Biden. Donut-eating contest: Trump.
Biden is thinner and has more hair. Also had more votes in 2020 election – popular and electoral.
Maybe the space Jew just wants to keep away from COVID.
And why can he not daven while orbiting the Earth?
Why blame parents when there are so many libs who deserve blame?
Remember those candies shaped like babies? I liked those, but I think they stopped making them.
To philosopher and common saychel: You seem to believe that Hashem expects nothing of us regarding our health and the health of others. That is colossally wrong. You also fail to make any connection between the mitzvah of chesed and an obligation to protect others from your infections by wearing a mask and taking other precautions.
And philosopher, not all viruses are the same. Death rates from viruses other than COVID is generally low, whereas death rates from COVID is, well, a deadly pandemic.
philosopher: You do not have a right to make me (or anyone else) sick, unless you do it with words only.
To philosopher: You clearly underrate the willingness of people who do not know you to do something to help you and others infected with COVID. And you overlook the responsibility of government to help put an end to a deadly pandemic. I don’t like wearing a mask, or staying inside, or any of the other precautions that are necessary during this pandemic, but I do it gladly to protect the rest of the world, including you, and to bring this pandemic to an end.
The bracha for safe travel will reduce the balding of tires.
Unilever, the owner by acquisition of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, is also the owner, by acquisition, of Slim Fast, a company that makes and sells dietary supplements. The founders of both companies were Jewish, both enormously successful financially, and both made edibles. But one purports to get you slim, fast, and the other one gets you (without directly advertising the fact) fat, fast. The Unilever business has one mission – to be profitable, whether supporting or opposing healthy eating.
To coffee addict and common saychel: My father’s name is Tzvi ben Aharon, but he is fine. My post took license to make an important point: Tehillim are important, but so is real-world medical precaution.
My father has COVID. Please say tehillim and wear a mask.
And the award for biggest understatement of the year goes to: coffee addict, for his statement, “I don’t understand ….”
The White House has eggs on the lawn once a year.
If you cannot answer your question, no one can answer it for you.
#3 – Bruce Springstein.
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF BEING A SCHMENDRICK. Did that work?
And your friend ujm is a klutz. I call him/her that because YWN won’t print the word I really mean,edited
To ujm: I had no idea you were a grandparent, if that is what you implied. Kollel – one subject, essential, but one subject. “Career training” and “education” are not the same, not there is anything wrong with either. So, as I guessed, you have an education of a 19-year-old.
ujm: Would you care to tell us your age and education? My guess is that you are 19 and attended a yeshiva that spends very little time on secular subjects.
To common say: Driving like normal people is not safe enough.
To Avi K: Where is it written that a married couple should die together?
Wikipedia is a generally reliable source of information. Take a look at “Temple Beth-el of Borough Park.”
Best of luck, looking forward to your return to the Coffee Room. We need someone who gets the facts right.
I thought a Ben-Giver was a person who gives money in hundred-dollar bills.
If the state governments in the US do not follow the advice of the CDC, the Covid pandemic will last far longer than if everybody did follow the CDC’s advice. Their advice is not perfect, and it is subject to change as they learn more about the virus, but they know the best way to control this virus and the related illnesses.
To Lostspark: How much money is enough? None, and that is what you should pay them.
To Health in your opening post: You forgot to put quotation marks around the word “News”.
There is a woman who aggressively seeks tzedukkah on Fridays outside the grocery store in my neighborhood, and many other woman seeking tzedukkah non-aggressively. When I give to someone other than the agressive woman, she tells me that the one I gave to is not Jewish. Sometimes this is correct, but sometimes it is not, but the aggressive woman always says it. Is she in breach of halachah? She has a letter from a rabbi authorizing her to collect tzedukkah. Should I tell that rabbi about this?
Substantial numbers of Jews left South Africa in the early to middle 1960’s. The ones I know said they left because they had no heart for apartheid. I know nothing about the Jewish community that is there today.
