Like MNB098, my sons like the Charles Tyrwhitt shirts especially my son with the athletic build.

kollelman: The Ezras Torah Luach is available online at ezrastorah dot org. You have to look at each month individually.
The english Ezra Torah Luach for Tamuz states “The final time for the sanctification of the New Moon for Tamuz is the entire night following Wednesday, June 27, (15 Tamuz). (Pages 145-146).
(29 days, 12 hours, 793 chalakim)/2 from the previous Molad. In other words 14 days, 18 hours and 396.5 chalakim from the previous Molad. The Molad for Tamuz was Wednesday evening 5 minutes and 7 chalakim after 6. 14 days later was the entire night of Tes Vav Tamuz. If you haven’t said it yet, you missed the zman.
Fine and surcharge is about $200. The police wait towards the tunnel so as not to disturb traffic. The HOV lanes are only lead to the tunnel so a car with fewer than 3 occupants are pulled over before entering the tunnel.
Lit: I don’t live in the Bronx either but I knew about the SBS bus even before it came to Brooklyn. Almost every SBS stops have multiple machines, not just 1. Many people use smartphones and know exactly what the time the bus is arriving. I know that when I buy my ticket I hold it in my hand or put it in my pocket until I reach my stop.
“I guess once you get used to it you work around it. Just a big change from the way it was for many years.” So was not using tokens and using metrocards.
lit: As someone who takes the bus daily, most people pay before going on the bus. Are their cheaters? Yes, but most people do pay the proper fare.
To answer your points:
You can give a countless number of excuses. Also I don’t think they can just stop dozens of people getting off a bus.
**** I have seen this at the Junction in Flatbush (15 – 20 people exiting the bus) and yes they stop everyone and ask for their ticket. Most of these inspectors are MTA police and can issue you a summons for trying to avoid them.****Why would anyone stop and have their time wasted once they are off a bus?
**** It takes between 5 – 10 seconds to be asked for your ticket and hand it to them. Hardly an inconvenience.*****Besides unless they have inspectors on board to check every individual who boards the bus, many people can get away without paying.
****2 or 3 inspectors board the bus and ask to see the tickets. If you don’t have one they escort you off the bus.****
Also can they give you a fine if you didn’t have time to wait for the receipt because you ran on to the bus a second before it closed the doors?
****Yes****
Or if you misplaced the ticket?
****If you paid with a Metrocard, you can ask for a history of its use and prove you paid.****
Or you paid and didn’t know to take a ticket?
****The machine tells you to take your ticket.”***What if you don’t give them your info, are they able to arrest you on the bus?
****I dont know about an arrest since it is a misdemeanor. OBSTRUCTING GOVERNMENTAL ADMINISTRATION SECOND DEGREE (A Misdemeanor) PENAL LAW 195.05****
Since this system was started in the Bronx in 2008, why are you first questioning it now. I live in Flatbush and my daughter works in Williamsburg. The SBS saves 20 – 30 minutes over the local buses.
There are MTA workers at certain stops who board the bus and asks to inspect the receipts. Other inspectors collect the receipts from those exiting the bus. No receipt, $100 fine.
Actually I am wondering why a thread started in 2008 with one comment in 2013 needed to be bumped.
I am pretty sure that ZA requires a hat and jacket for davening.
CTL: Thanks for the info. I never realized why my child’s BG goes crazy when taking certain medications.

Choose a cook book and try all the challah recipes printed there. The one you like the most is the “best”.
In the shul where I daven they are not allowed to make their verbal appeal until after the Kaddish for Aleinu (Nussach Sefard). If they don’t like it, they can walk around and collect without the announcement.
DY:I believe he is discussing the sections around when going south from exit 120-89 where the speed limit is 70 MPH.
One if by land; two if by sea?

I don’t know about foods with 7 except for:

Sales prices in other stores (ShopRite, Glatt mart) are ~6.99/LB

When my children were in elementary school, we never had a time limit for how long they should stay at the table. If we saw they really wanted to go play with their toys, we let them. It took us 15 minutes to give brohos, sing sholom aleichem and eishes chayil, kiddush, wash, and make hamotzi. By the time we finished the fish, they were already at the table for close to a half hour. Again, there is no one size fits all answer.
In today’s generation with the limited attention span of most individuals, presetting a time for how long a seuda should take is almost pointless. In my parents house the shabbos seuda usually was completed within 45 minutes.
I am not sure about 5-7 course meals. We genrally have only a 4 course meal: fish, soup, main, dessert.GH: You site MB 289:10 as a source for your comment “one should consult his local rav”, but I don’t see those words in that sif koton.
Baltimoremaven: I have taken the question seriously. I know that my children are not the type to sit and listen to someone reading from a sefer or from divrei torah sheets. They are more into talking about the shidduch dates they have been on, what’s happening at their workplaces, who in the neighborhood are celebrating smachot., how are their married siblings faring. One of the key points in trying to answer a general question is define the age of the “children”. Are we talking yeshiva ketanah age, mesivta or HS age or young twenties. Most of my children are now between the ages of 20 -28 and what keeps them interested now is different from when they were teens or under bar/bat mitzvah age.
haimy: I don’t use any sefer other then one that we use for singing zemiros. I agree with ZD that one of the ways we have our children enjoy the shabbos meals is to make or purchase foods that they like to eat. When my children were younger we used there parsha sheets as a springboard for discussions around the table. We will use articles in the Yated or Mishpacha as talking points.
DY: Please share with us the list of foods that came down with Moshe Rabbeinu from Har Sinai that are in your word “Shabbosdik”. What makes a food shabbosdik? If I or my wife or children like to eat something then in my house it is shabbosdik and can be served even if someone else sitting at the table doesn’t like it.
DY: If you don’t like sushi and it bothers you, don’t serve it. While it might ruin the ruach of “your” Shabbos it does not ruin the “ruach of Shabbos”. Sushi is eaten often in my house (both on Shabbos and during the week) and my children like it (even if I don’t). I shouldn’t serve it to them because I don’t like it? At one time I did not like guacamole but my kids did and we kept serving it. Eventually , I too started eating it and now look forward to it at the Shabbos Table.
DY: Please explain why. It says in the zemer Yom Zeh Mechubad – BASAR VDAGIM VCHOL MATAMIM. IMHO, sushi falls under the VCHOL MATAMIM.
We did after trying other options. It helped for our children who needed it.
T22T: I never claimed it to be a minhag. My parents told us that they didn’t tell anyone an exact date and they didn’t expect us to tell them an exact date. Nor do I expect my children to divulge the due date. We did tell our parents after the first trimester that we were expecting and a general “around chanukah” or “just after pesach” as the due date.
I agree with you that the case you mentioned the parents had a right to be upset.
T22T: It seems that even you agree one doesn’t have to state the exact due date. As I stated above (#1526704) we told our parents around a certain time period, not an exact date. If you tell your friends the expected date and don’t tell your parents then I can see that as a zilzul of your parents kavod.
T22T: I don’t know if there is a source but my parents didn’t do it and I followed their lead. I know that I didn’t want phone calls like “it’s 2 days past the date, why aren’t they inducing or why aren’t they doing a c-section”. That is a personal choice.
My parents did not believe in telling the due dates. We followed them and did not divulge the exact dates, only around the date (early June, middle June). There are those who do not say anything about the pregnancy during the first trimester unless she starts showing.

If it is really assur why are there a number of Roshei Yeshiva who walk around with a smart phone?
What device are you using to listen on?
My son is currently enrolled in their program. It’s only been a few weeks so I can’t really offer any opinion.
DY: Unfortunately, I don’t have time to run to every store, purchase the $7.50 or $10 minimum to get the sales price. If one does have hat time, kol hakavod.
T22T: You also have to factor in the costs of refrigeration and refrigerated trucks for delivery. I generally don’t buy shmaltz herring but I know that many people buy the herring from Schwartz’s and they generally have more then 5 pieces of fish in the container. The first question is how much does the raw herring cost as that is the first ingredient.
I am just wondering if the OP also questions the cost of a roll of sushi when you get one small piece of fish, a lot of rice and other ingredients, and spend $8 – $14 a roll.
DY: Thanks for the info on NPGS however I am in Flatbush, not in Lakewood. Yes, Normans is $2 but is not whipped and has only been available for a short period of time. And yes, a current sale at KRM for J&J is 2.99 but the regular price is 4.49.
Haimy: one cannot separate the ingredients as it is factored into the price. It is like saying why is cole slaw $5.00 a pound but don’t include the cost of the mayo and vinegar in the price.
has been granted s’micha and own the Teudas S’micha.
For the same reason, a mixture of flour and water before pesach costs $15 – $50 / LB. The cost of the labor involved in cutting the fish and the onions, the cost of oil, making the various “sauces”, packaging and the space to age the fish. Regular old fashioned pickled herring costs about $7 – $8 for a 26 oz jar.
DY: Where can you find CY cream cheese for $2 per 8 oz container?
Depends on which state the person is going to practice in. Every state has different rules and regulations. In NYS, the provider not only has to apply to be s Medicaid provider they Asldo have to enroll with the individual MCO to accept their patients. Every MCO has s different reimbursement schedule and overall it may not be worthwhile. As to chested, s doctor can waive copayments or other fees to patients to fulfill chesed.
Do you have any sons and if yes, did you hire someone to write their bar mitzvah pshetl? If yes, then you should hire someone to write her speech.
How about rasing funds though a gofundme page or through the chesed fund?
The problem with this question is that we don’t know which song he is actually referring to as there is one on
the London Unplugged album, Dov Levine on the Vchulom Mekablim album, Dovid Stein has a version on his Melech album.While I understand the reasoning (especially if funds are tight), proper ettiquette is to invite the married couple. I remember attending weddings of my wife’s classmates (she was the first in her class to get married) even though I didn’t know anybody there.
So then why say it in EY? Are you saying that those who daven Nusach Ashkenaz all say Morid Hatal like the opinion of the GRA?
screwdriver delight: You wrote “and will be saying Morid Hatal my entire stay, as per the custom here.” As if we don’t say Morid Hatal in Chutz L’Aretz this time of year?
ZD: Who are the machmirim on the cleaning process, men or the women? What I have found is that the women are more machmir then the men are. As to manufacturers producing non-gebrokts items, no one is forcing them to do it. I am not forced to buy anything. I eat gebrokt; however, I am makpid on shmura matza and most gebrokts items are made with 18 minute matza.
