Yehudayona: because that’s what my mother used.
When the “Microsoft Tech Support” guy calls I follow his instructions. After a few minutes I say that I am still waiting for the Apple logo to disappear.
In NY, 15 yoa.
As CTLAWYER’s family did, my paternal grandparents bought burial plots in the 1940’s and we added to those in the 1980’s. My maternal grandparents and most of their siblings bought plots in Old Montefiore Cemetery in the 1930’s through Adas Yisroel of the Lower East Side (aka United Hebrew Communities). My grandparents even bought their tachrichim while they were in their thirties.
There is no official time, but if one first waits to buy one when someone needs to be buried, the family will be paying a “premium price” for a grave(s).
LB: The Lubavitch poskim do not always agree with the Mishna Berurah. If you are lubavitch then you can follow their psak. As for Asher Yatzar, the Mishna Berurah states that best practice is to make the berachah as soon as possible after relieving yourself as you may have to relive yourself again. However, the Mishna Berurah also states that if you did not make the brocha right away you can do it when you remember even if its much later. (Orach Chaim Sif Zayin Sif Koton Alef).
Theprof1: So if the OU relies on the Star-K for ingredient “A” and ingredient “A” is used in an OU product that the “so called hasidishe and very strict hashgochos” just put their sticker on, how can you say that they only use ingredients under the OU Hashgachah?
BBB: Thanks for wrapping yourself in the flag but you did not answer my question. Did the bid for bentching at the shas-a-thon state the same limitation? If not then you have no reason to compare it to this siyum hashas siyum bid.
Where is CTLAWYER when we need him?
LB: It is hard to say which hashgachoh is the “top”. It is a “poorly kept secret” that all hashgachos have rely on each other as key ingredients might be under the hashgachah of (Star-K, OK, Kof-K) and are used by a company under the hashgachoh of the OU.
To answer your question, yes, it is widely accepted but not unanimously.
BBB: I generally do not use eBay and I wondering if the bidding ad for the “bentching at the shas-a-thon” states that it may only be bid on by jews? Declining a bid is different then outright excluding groups of people (even if the item up for auction does not apply to them).
What about ONAAH?
Eli51: Your second suggestion could permanently affect your business as people will say that the site is a rip off so don’t bother with it.
Yes, ZD, there are still “mom and pop pharmacies” in Flatbush.
Their is a way to do this on the main page. You will see articles starting with “[Communicated Content]”
LU: Do pharmacies shut their phone systems for shabbos so non-jewish customers can’t call in refills? I know that my pharmacist does not.
ZD: I hope the analogy above helps.
In the USA most people have a car or access to a car. Not everyone lives close to public transportation and taxi / car services are not cost effective options.
cherrybim: While I agree with you many others will disagree with you. Most people prefer flanken.
WTP: Depends on how many dozen you use.
LU: Yes, as stated in Joseph’s OP: “We might never think about it, but really there are so many tznius pitfalls in dating. In the car alone.”
Since when is a car, with windows on all sides an issue of “tznius”? It certainly doesn’t fit the definition of “yichud”.
After reading a number of these posts I am wondering if the issue is Tznius or Yichud?
The last time I checked there were still no bidders. The way I read the story, his son will complete shas in a year, not that he is already close to finishing. I personally feel that the father would have had a better chance to offer a Yissachar-Zevulun arrangement then the chance to join in the siyum (transportation costs to be paid by the bidder). I am not sure if this is any worse then a few years ago when they offered the zechus of bidding on Maftir Yona for the Rebbe (I don’t remember which Rebbe).
Both
Probably would have been better to use gofundme.
My did your shver enjoy the cholent?
I heard in the name of R’ Yaakov Kaminetzky TZATZAL that way shidduchim were done in Europe does not translate well to America as most girls did not attend yeshiva in Europe but were taught directly by thei mothers. In America they have yeshivos for girls and therefore the method of shidduchim had to change.
R’ Shimshon Sherer once accompanied his father R’ Moshe Sherer A”H to see R’ Shach TZATZAL. R’ Shach asked R’ Shimshon if he had breakfast and he answered no. R’ Shach went to the kitchen to fry him eggs. R’ Shimshon protested and R’ Shach said “You don’t think I know how to cook eggs”?
Someone once asked Rav Pam the following: I help my wife with the cooking. My friend says that it is not proper as that is the wife’s role. Is he correct? Rav Pam answered it’s possible. However, all the years my wife worked in the public school system I made the potato kugel for Shabbos.
LB: Some people make their cholent spicy; others don’t. It depends on the person’s taste buds. I personally am not fond of very spicy foods so I prefer my cholent with traditional spices…salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and a dash or two of ketchup. My children add chili powder and sriracha sauce.
Meno: ShopRite’s Marinara must have changed it’s recipe. I rarely find any pieces in it.
LB: While one of the main ingredients in chili is ground beef, cholent is not chili although some think they are similar.
IMO, ground beef will also fall apart in cholent.
Available in the Burger Kings in EY.
Meno: You can google it…….”Burger King serves up Hanukkah donut Whopper”
LU: And you don’t think that yidden weren’t killed that day?
LB: If I had your private e-mail I would open a discussion with you about my opinion. Since I do not, I have to do it in this open forum.
Maybe “neatfreak” will answer, maybe not. But that is my point. If you want someone to try and clarify what someone wrote 7 years ago, then simply state, “7 years ago “neatfreak” stated….Can someone explain what he/she meant?”
To me (and yes I am stating “me” because it is all about perception) it makes you look less “bright” then I feel you are. For example, in a previous thread about Bounty Paper Towels, you restarted a 7 year old thread with a “What?”. Would it not have been better to restart the thread with “Does anyone know if this issue still exists?”
Do you now understand why I feel the way I do?
Lb: my usual tirade. Why are you asking something on a comment made 7 years ago?
Shloimel: Since we don’t know where you live it is hard to say what they call it. The major stores in the NY area generally label it “Flanken”.
Geordie613: You stated “and the one which is used for calculating leap years”. Are you referring to the secular leap year or the halachic leap year?
As for Pesach occurring before Tekufas Nissan please see Rabbi Dovid Heber’s article on the Star-K website (specifically footnote 16). I know that the moderator allows the links for hebrewbooks.org, I don’t know if they will allow the direct link to Rabbi Heber’s article. It originally appeared in the Winter 2008 edition of Kashrus Kurrents.
If Moshiach hasn’t come by then the dates will move to December 5th/December 6th; it has to do with century years not being a secular leap year.

I found this on another website:
Mr. Werdiger told me that the story is absolutely true! He said the reason why he had YWN take the story down is because some in Korea were upset to learn what Mr. Joon had done and that it might affect Mr. Joon’s career in the future. (Mr. Joon is returning to Korea soon.)
The story was told at the Agudah Convention by Rabbi Paysach Krohn and confirmed by Mr. Werdiger who is the Chairman of the Board of the Agudah. I have not seen any article that refutes this story but would be interested if someone can point out where I would find such articles.
There is a website called macsecurity.net that has a step-by-step guide to remove the adware.
A “google” search of werdiger+joon will give you links to where the story is still available online.
Another untimely bump. What shaychis does this have in Chodesh Kislaiv?
Maariv December 4th (tonight)
I should rephrase my response. It would be ok in NYC to park by a hydrant if you follow the rules. One should check the rules of their municipality.
It depends. Since NYC allows it under limited circumstances it will be okay if you follow that guideline. In Section 4-08 of the NYC Traffic rules it states:
(2) Hydrants. Within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant, unless otherwise indicated by signs, or parking
meters, except that during the period from sunrise to sunset if standing is not otherwise
prohibited, the operator of a passenger car may stand the vehicle alongside a fire hydrant
provided that the operator remains in the operator’s seat ready for immediate operation of the
vehicle at all times and starts the motor of the car on hearing the approach of fire apparatus, and
provided further, that the operator shall immediately remove the car from alongside the fire
hydrant when instructed to do so by any member of the police, fire, or other municipal department
acting in his/her official capacity.
So at night, no.
I would also suggest a virus and malware scan.
Years ago it was said that Kellogg’s made a marketing decision that a “K” was enough to indicate that the product was kosher. They received less questions from non-kosher consumers.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan used to say “everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, no one is entitled to their own set of facts!” The question asks for an opinion. Most people over the age of 50 will probably answer Carter despite the Camp David Accords. Others will say Reagan. Bush, or Clinton. Technically any of these answers are correct as it is the posters opinion. Please don’t waste space arguing on someone’s opinion.
yehudayona: Post is starting to switch to the OU.
