Hi Sparkly,

Is it something you can hold/carry with your hands?

Awww guys, I can’t believe it was that easy.

Aaaaand the winner is…. lilmod ulelamaid!!!!!

5.) Fleishig? No

1.edible? yes

2.visible? yes

3.skunk? no

oh hey! Awesome okay so I am thinking of something.

Generally speaking.

“For all practical purposes, Edot HaMizrach and Sepharadim from Spain get lumped together in one category of “dark, exotic non-Ashkenazim”.

Not saying it’s right or wrong, but that’s the reality.”

Not the reality. Sephardim from Spain are actually very pale with dark hair.

It’s been such a long time since I checked back in the coffee room and as I was going through old posts, this one caught my eye.

Anyone want to play?

sh0wj0e- is it edible?

Sephardic Weddings:

-Chuppah is by the Ahron HaKodesh

-Chattan & Kallah are not allowed to fast on the day of their wedding

-There is no “Yichud Room” (its considered a “davar mechuar”)

-There is no “bedeken”

-Kallah doesn’t circle the chattan 7 times

-Couple usually faces the guest under the chuppah and the Rabbi’s back is to the guest

-The “aufruf” is the shabbat after the wedding called an “Avram siz”

I learnt that when techiyat hametim happens, we are all going to see/recognize each neshama the way we knew it last. Since more than one person can have the same neshama (gilgulim) the physical body doesnt come together with the body at techiyat hammetim. For example, you can recognize one neshama as your grandfather and someone else can recognize the same neshama as their brother without you two even being related.

It’s kind of a hard concept to try to understand what will happen but this is how I understand it. There could be more theories.

Would one be allowed to apply chapstick or Carmex on Sahbbat?

“The children of a jewish mother and non-jewish father are NON Mamzerim.

Halachically a Non-Jewish father is not a father”

What would be the status of a child if the mother was Jewish, father was not but then later the father converted and married the childs mother under the chupah?

Does the father only become the childs halachik father after conversion?

Once upon a time, there was a creaking noise coming from downstairs of the Mishpachastein home.

How about ” Best Kept Secret”?

+100!

I would assume Shabbos clothes. Being that it is a “Torah” (religious) event, some kavod is required.

Basicly what MorahRach said. What are some things that made you or could make someone OTD? Are there certain personalities that could make someone become OTD living in such a religious environment or living in a more modern one?

And BTW, thanks for willing to share and help others.

My family is really frum and I feel like one of my brothers is starting to go OTD because he hates sitting down in Yeshiva. He is still young and I don’t want to make it sound like a bad thing. I just hope that just because he hates sitting in Yeshiva it doesn’t mean that he has to become less frum or go OTD. Is there any specific way he should be guided?

Nothing.

Plain and simple. =)

oooh! Whenever I hear Jews speak Arabic it sounds so pretty, but when spoken by Arabs, it sounds plain ugly. I think it’s because there is a different dialect.
