“Are pony sheitels or those new ones with a braid tzniusdik?”
Nope, they are not tznius.
Let me rephrase: “Why are women more intelligent than men?”
Now we can continue discussing. 😉
Love is something that is built. It is seeing the true neshama of a person. It is seeing the great heights that this person can achieve and reach to. You are at awe of his greatness. It is the ability to see the fire burning within him. You also love someone for who they are because that is how Hashem created him, with his own positive attributes. People also use the word love too often to really know what love means. We tend to use love with the way someone looks, does, wears, etc. We shouldn’t love someone just for their physical or materialistic qualities. We should love one for their chessed, love to others, and greatness.
When we see the evil soul of a rasha and what he does, then we hate it (Hitler). We hate that this person/nation has such an evil inclination and such evil actions. We hate that such a person could reach to such a low level and we don’t ever want to understand such a position. Therefore we reject it because it is alien to us.
I don’t like to believe that we hate others because of what he did to annoy you. You don’t really “hate” him. Deep down you really love him, but because he bothered you in some way (i.e. mean comment) then you hate that action/part of the person.
I think now day’s people use the word Hate too often and have lost the true meaning of the word.
“Just because I don’t like you, it doesn’t mean I hate you”.
LOL coffee addict.
Okay mitzvahgirl613. I guess we are going to be nominated the best camper awards!
Hey, I”ll be your camper. I”ll let you guys do all the work and I”ll have all the fun!
lol shuli,
and hatzlacha raba Stamford.
Thanks think first and Nechamah. Those questions really became great conversation starters.
Oh wow yitayningwut, I would have never thought about that. That was a really good game though!
So, who is going to start the next round? Who is next?
nooo…..wait! Just one more hint? 😉
Is it a tallit bag?
Thanks No One Mourns The Wicked. I am going through the same process myself and it can be quite confusing. Thanks for the clarification.
Thanks yitayningwut!
I’m guessing… a Siddur?
If you just started college and you are thinking of becoming a social worker then you should go all the way and get your masters in psychology(instead of a BA in psych which is what you need for becoming a social worker). It pays more in the end. I have no idea what are the benefits for a Paralegal.
Maybe, since you look up so much to your Rabbi but can no longer be with him any more, you could try to be like him and follow in his great ways. I am not saying that you have to become a Rabbi, but maybe you can follow in the many great things that he does. I think that this is how you can help yourself from not feeling so removed or far away from him.
Best of luck!
“It is in NY and I’m starting to date now and plan on living in Bk.” (from another thread).
So, you have children? OR you are in an environment where you work with children? Sorry, but I couldn’t help to notice this.
I am going to be a bit random. Is it a pillow? I always have my pillow when I am on the coffee room so I can get comfortable for a couple of hours.
Hi, can I play?
AMI!!!!!!!! It’s the best!
So you like to be around people, you are creative… how about a party/wedding planner? (I think you just have to take courses or something)
smartcookie- I do the same thing! Even just thinking about it gives me the chills.
…When you come home late exhausted from a long day of work and then out of no where you suddenly feel really awake to go to the YWN coffee room (and then spend hours reading all the posts and lying to yourself that your not tired.)
Guys I need help! Sorry Stamford Hilly Billy, I don’t mean to take over your thread but im in the same “mess”. What do you talk about on dates without sounding wierd? Im on my 5th date now with the same guy and all he talks about is Torah. (He is yeshivish black-hat).I like him, otherwise I wouldn’t be on my 5th date, but I feel like I don’t know him well enough yet. What kind of questions could I ask a Yeshivah guy? I feel like all yeshivah guys are the same with the same goals. (Sorry, I don’t mean to be stereotypical, I have very little experience).
I’m talking about the cross on the flags such as those from, “Australia – the Union Flag in the upper hoist quarter
Denmark – a Scandinavian cross
Dominican Republic – a centered white cross that extends to the edges and divides the flag into four rectangles
England – the St George’s Cross
Fiji – the Union Flag in the upper hoist quarter
Finland – a Scandinavian cross
Georgia – the “five-cross flag”; the central element of the flag is St. George’s Cross (used also in the national flag of England); there is one smaller cross within each of the four quadrants
Greece – a cross in the upper hoist corner
Iceland – a Scandinavian cross
Jamaica – a Saint Andrew’s Cross
Malta – a George Cross in the upper hoist corner (in the canton of the white stripe)
Moldova – in the coat of arms appearing in the center stripe, a stylized eagle is holding a cross in its beak
Montenegro – two crosses appear in the two crowns depicted in the coat of arms contained in the flag
New Zealand – the Union Flag in the upper hoist quarter
Norway – a Scandinavian cross
Portugal – Compound cross of five quinas, each one charged with five saltire-arranged bezants
San Marino – a cross appears in the crown depicted in the coat of arms contained in the flag
Scotland – the Saint Andrew’s Cross
Serbia – cross in crown and cross in inescutcheon, both in coat of arms appearing in flag
Slovakia – double cross on top of mountain, appearing in coat of arms contained in flag
Spain – one cross in each of three crowns, as well as a cross in the fourth quarter of the shield (for Navarre), all appearing in embedded coat of arms
Sweden – a Scandinavian cross
Switzerland – a bold, equilateral white cross in the center of the flag
Tonga – a red cross appearing as a canton of a red ensign
Tuvalu – the Union Flag in the upper hoist quarter
United Kingdom – the three crosses of the Union Flag: St. George’s Cross, St. Andrews Cross, and the Irish saltire
Vatican City – a cross on the top of the papal tiara in the coat of arms of the right side of the flag”
I googled it 😉
Would this be a problem if one lives in any of these places and wants to hang up the flag in their room for example?
Chap Stick: see Lipstick: No supervision necessary. Unflavored only, new tube.
Cosmetics:
Regarding any cosmetics, hair spray, soaps, shampoos, deodorant, powders (medicated, perfumed, baby, face,
foot, etc…), the opinion of the Rabbis that permits these items even without special Passover supervision, may
be followed.
Lipstick: All unflavored which do not contain wheat or oat flour may be used on Pesach. No organic lipsticks.
Chapstick, Blistex and Chapstick cold sore therapy are acceptable without a mark.
I hope this was helpful. I got it from the J.S.O.R Pesach kosher list for 2012.
“Igros Moshe YD 1:69 regarding stamps with crosses on it.One can own them,sell them ,and look at them. Praiseworthy not to.If it is not worshiped but just for noi it seems muttar. “
sam4321- Does it say anything about a cross on a flag that one might be proud to hang in their house? I’m curious to know, thanks.
lol Be lucky 😉
I went on a date where the guy took me to the heart of the city where I live. I was completly mortified and checking my surroundings at all times. I think that it was just a complete miracle that I didnt see anyone I knew… (unless they saw me but I didnt see them) 🙁
The guy even wanted to walk in to a store to get something and since the owner knew me I just told the guy that someone was trying to reach me and if he wouldn’t mind that I check who it was outside the store and return the call. I was so uncomfortable. I guess this will be one of those stories that I will look back and laugh, but I’m not laughing yet…
Does anyone ever feel uncomfortable when your date takes you to the most busiest places where you are most likely to bump into everyone you know, or is it just me?
Of course it’s important! It’s what gets your brain and body functioning first thing in the morning. You also don’t feel as hungry during lunch time which is great for a light salad for example and then a nice full dinner. This is how my diet is and I feel great. My body weight is normal and I feel energized the entire day.
Breakfast- A full breakfast, for example eggs with veg. toast, cheese, cut up fruit
Lunch- Salad
Dinner- Soup, veg., fish, potatoes, ect.
If anything, I think that eating breakfast is the most important part of the day. And I don’t mean eating cereal with milk because I dont see how that fills up anyone besides little kids.
Oh yes. I got my room cleaned and all the book shelves wiped/ dusted from around the house. Can you believe that I actually found some chametz on top of one of the book shelves? Anyways, I’m dreading for the day when it comes to cleaning the fridge and ovens. I commend you for already starting.
Good luck to everyone with your Pesach cleaning and remember to keep the tension and stress low. We all know how hectic it can get.
Happy cleaning 😉
“Y’know, the one you swipe from every mishloach manos?” LOL OneOfMany, it’s so true!
I always swipe anything that has to do with milk chocolate, and halva!!! Yum! unclesam, I couldn’t agree more.
If you want to have some variety in your dress outfits, here is what my brother did after he left. He wore polo shirts or a button down with stripes going down. He now has this new style where his button down shirts have a different pattern by the colar and cuffs. They look really cool and stylish, yet still considered “yeshivish”. Shabbat is of course black and white.
Welcome!
“the CR seems like such an exclusive club…I was quite intimidated!”
I totally know what you mean. I even wonder if people recognize my name yet since I dont really post often.
You guys ready for this one? I saw a guy dressed as… Dorothy (from the Wizard of Oz). lol. Im cracking up now as im picturing it in my head again. hehehe.
I think he has some type of struggle within himself 😉 He doesn’t know if he should dress like everyone else and dress in black and white, or go out of the boundaries and wear a t-shirt and jeans. I say he is confused… lol. Give him some time till he “figures” himself out.
um, what did more_2 say bad? (please enlighten me)
