Lightbrite: do you even know who R’ Boruch Ber is and when he lived? While this quote may not be appropriate in today’s circumstances (although it was quoted by the Morah Dasra of my shul) take into account when and where it was said. He was the Rosh Yeshiva of Kaminetz and was inspiring HIS talmidim for Simchas Torah. It could very well be that there were no elderly people, invalids, or others at that place and time. Stop trying to put modern day political correctness onto what are gedolim said and did 100 years ago.
I don’t understand your logic in questioning one of the greatest roshei yeshivas in Europe on a comment he made 80 – 100 years ago to his talmidim.
There’s a difference between “appearance” and “mode of dress”. A woman may have a good “appearance” but will turn some guys off if her dress/skirt is above her knees or shirt/blouse above the elbows.
I guess you never heard Abie Rottenberg’s song “Yeshivashe Reid”
While it has become the “protocol” for the loser to concede, there is no law or rule that says they have to.
yehudayona: Virginia Beach, VA and Orlando, Fl.
Joseph: My son who went to Chofetz Chaim has a beard and does not wear peyos behind his ears. My second son (not exactly a “Brisker” but learning in a similar type of yeshiva) does not have a beard but wears peyos behind his ears.
The big difference is that my older son started helping and learning with teenagers as soon as he was able (aged 22 now 26) while my other son is still involved with his own learning and not even thinking yet about harbotzos torah (and he is 24).
BYG: generally they try to build communities in the US and Canada and yes I mean “out of town”. However, they may or not be remote depending on which State we are talking about. Either I or my son (who attended Chafetz Chaim for high school) know musmachim in places such as LA, Las Vegas, Dallas, St. Louis, Orlando, Miami, Rochester, Milwaukee (home of WITS), Memphis, Vancouver, Ottawa to name a few. However, they may also go to places where there is no frum infrastructure and build from scratch.
LF: Just a reminder that what you state is for Nusach Sfard. I daven Nussach Ashkenaz so the last tefillah is the “Shir Shel Yom” not Aleinu.
Why do people leave early? For some it is car pool issues. Their sons have to be in Yeshiva at a certain time and the school does not provide bus service. The fathers have to drive them to yeshiva. For others it is their work schedule. They may not have a minyan near where they work so they daven first with a minyan and then leave to go to work.
Avi K: that would translate to “a gut vinter”.
Late is a relative term. What do you consider late?
LF: If you are answering my question about context, look at the last line from the OP. It looks like he/she is responding to someone’s question.
Prices vary depending on location. Anywhere between $40 – $150 in Brooklyn locations
What is a Siegelman’s cake? I have been to a number of lchsim/vort’s in the last year (yes in Brooklyn) and have never seen it.
Can you please us give us the context?
Frum: Two kashrus organizations do not recommend this product and it weakens my argument? I never said it was definitive halacha. GelCaps have always been an issue with kashrus. If the OP has a Rav to ask let them ask their Rav. If not let them call the Star-K or the CRC directly for guidance.
From: do you know what happens when you “assume”?
Health: you stated above “IDK which CRC you’re talking about!”. I responded.
Heslth: the same CRC you are quoting from. They have kashrus concerns with this product.
However, the article was written by their AV BES DIN.
Joseph: Notice the quotes. However since you don’t like that definition I’ll go with with “people with gourmet tastes”.
From the CRC website:
Pill medications that one swallows are permitted even if they contain non-kosher ingredients. Two exceptions to that
require hashgachah. If a doctor prescribes a specific vitamin which is not kosher certified, please review your
specific situation with your doctor and Rabbi.
medicine that is free of kashrus concerns.
FNY: Two kashrus organizations state that this product is not recommended.Do you argue with them on their liquor lists? I don’t know why anyone asks questions on this list and not call, text, or e-mail a rav.
LU: term used for “aristocrats”.
IITFT: I was always taught that Rashi was born on the day Rabbeinu Gershom was niftar so it would be 1040.
I didn’t think that stating he wrote a piyut that we say during selichos was troublesome.
WTP: some sites have a shochet/shochtim present.
takah: Because the RAMAH says so. However since there is an option to do it with money…we don’t have to it with a chicken or fish.
From the CRC OTC Medicine list:
Advil Liqui-Gels Gelcap Not Recommended
Advil Migrane Liqui-Gel Gelcap Not Recommended
**************************************************
From the Star-K Medicine list:
Advil Regular Caplets (not gel)
Authored the moving piyut Zechor Bris Avrahom that we say on Erev Rosh Hashana, Tzom Gedaliah, and at Neilah on Yom Kippur.
CH: Thank You! I looked last week in that sefer by Krias Shema and didn’t see it.
CrookedHillary: Do you have a source for this gematria or is it your own? Each corner has 4 strings that doubled not 8.
Buy a shlock……..except if it doesn’t rain to the point that it ruins your soup you are still required to eat in your sukkah and therefore the decorations can still get wet.
Kollelman: You can have a meeting with the individual who gave your son “an earful”. I had an incident like this when my oldest (now 26) was in 9th grade. I allowed him to stay home during a 12 inch snow storm. The next day when mass transit was normal he went to yeshiva and the menahel read him “the riot act” about missing yeshiva. My son called me and I called the menahel and told him that I gave him permission to stay home. I then asked the menahel why he wasn’t in yeshiva during the snow storm and he answered that he was stuck in Monsey. I then read him the “riot act” about practice what you preach. Needless to say he never questioned any of my decisions after that.
MA: Without surveying the people who go to Uman, there is no way to answer your question.
Sorry but this is far from an adult conversation!
Childish things like this thread?
Most people are going to answer to “laminate” them but your latest response seems to indicate that you don’t want to do that. What sort of “priceless decorations” are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
mik5: True, but the mitzvah is to “hear the sound of the shofar”, not the actual blowing.
147: I understand. NYS (depending on the bargaining group) has “voluntary leave without pay” subject to certain conditions. I have always had to charge the Yomim Tovim to annual or personal time.
lesschumras: While he may not have been the Godol Hador, he certainly was one of the Gedolei Hador.
mik5: You wrote: “You have the legal right to take off for all yomim tovim on which melacha is assur (you don’t have a legal right to take off for Channukah).”
While individuals may have the “legal right to take off” NYS employees (not public school employees but state workers) have to either charge annual leave, personal leave or leave without pay.
Contact the Human Resources department. They are responsible for these issues.
Wolf: flashlights? Candles? Or as my shul has emergency lights that turn on when there is a blackout.
Any reason why you left out the opinion of Rabbi Willig who has suggested using these prenups for years?
dovrosenbaum: Why do you need a siddur app on the phone when you have printed siddurim in the shul? What does this have to with other hilchos shabbos? did you use your phone with an app for Kinnos? Are you downloading a selichos app?
/nishtdayngesheft: thank you for clarifying what I wrote. Of course I meant that you can’t use the siddur app. However, if one has a landline to use and the cell phone is off the preferred choice might be to use the landline. As to cellphones in general, I don’t take mine to shule.
Sparkly: since wiki’s can be edited by anybody they are not a reliable source. Most adults do not take off from work when they have the “sniffles” whether you agree or not.
Dovrosenbaum: why shouldn’t they use a physical book? You can’t use the phone on Shabbos anyways.
A “jammer” basically blocks (jams) the signal.
