beee: Please reread your OP. Was “lounge” supposed to be “long or longing”?
However, once it was invented and became widespread, we had a way to cool off. Yes, I heard how people used to sleep on the fire escapes of apartment buildings to try and cool off.
Once again, Freddy, one would have to live in or near Baltimore. So technically, it does not have the potential to help “tons of bochurim”. Unless you are expecting all these “tons of bochurim” to uproot themselves from NYC, Lakewood, Miami, Chicago, etc. I understand it is great information for one to have but does have a limitation.
I didn’t say their was any problem with Baltimore. However, if one lives and works in LA or NYC, then it is not as you wrote ““the yeshiva ” for guys who want to learn shtark and work”.
Many put it in cholent.
Do you know a specific program that had a kashrus issue or are you just generalizing?
SD: I don’t know how old you are but in the 1980’s the air conditioners in my house kept the rooms plenty cool and did not dim the lights. I disagree with your notion that R Moshe didn’t know how an air conditioner worked, What metzius changed? They are more efficient and quieter? Are you next going to claim one shouldn’t fly on an airplane because an engine blew on one? Can’t drive a car because it my catch fire? What about indoor plumbing? a pipe may burst. How far do you want to go?
Switch to dried out hadasim
Provided you want to live in Baltimore.
Is there a problem looking for a solution?
screwloose….I mean Screwdriver delight: Are you trying to say that air conditioning is a new invention that wasn’t invented until after R’ Moshe was niftar? If you are, then your rant is worthless. I don’t believe any gadol has ever stated that air conditioning is outright assur. Proof? When R’ Moshe was asked about using timers for AC he would have said AC is assur not it is assur to use a timer to turn it on.
if I recall correctly, R’ Moshe was asked about running an air conditioner on a timer for Shabbos. His answer did not indicate that using air conditioners were assur. As I heard many times from Rabbi Shlomo Perl A”H, he ran his air conditioners the entire Shabbos.
me12345: Rabbi Kalisch and his staff accepts boys who are “on the way down” so as to stop that momentum and turn it around.
When the city repaved the streets last year, all the homes that had curb cuts before the repaving had them after the repaving. I know that all the homes on my block have the driveways and easements stated in their deeds. Unless you have clear proof that the driveway is illegal, I would advise not to park in front of it.
Joseph: Total paid to the shadchan.
frumnotyeshivish: can you please clarify to which of my posts you are commenting on in Reply # 1508548? It doesn’t seem to address any post that I made in this thread.
Professional shadchanim generally have a set fee. We have not had a professional redd any of my children’s shiduchim so we talked it over with our machatunim and decided on what we thought was a fair amount and then split the cost between both sides. It was in the $1500 – $2000 range.
slonimer: Maybe in your neighborhood your statement is accurate; most, if not all, of the driveways in my neighborhood are legal.
Section 4-08 (f) (2) of the NYC Traffic Rules states:
(2) Driveways. In front of a public or private driveway, except that it shall be permissible for the
owner, lessor or lessee of the lot accessed by a private driveway to park a passenger vehicle
registered to him/her at that address in front of such driveway, provided that such lot does not
contain more than two dwelling units and further provided that such parking does not violate any
other provision of the Vehicle and Traffic Law or local law or rule concerning the parking,
stopping or standing of motor vehicles. The prohibition herein shall not apply to driveways that
have been rendered unusable due to the presence of a building or other fixed obstruction and,
therefore, are not being used as defined in §4-01(b) of these rules.A driveway is defined as (Section 4-01(b)):
Driveway. Every entrance or exit authorized pursuant to applicable law and used by vehicular
traffic to or from lands or buildings abutting a roadway.DY: I have no personal knowledge if the owners/managers of KRM know who owns the beer distributorship. There advertisement only states that as their practice has been for years, they bought enough prior to pesach so they don’t have to buy until shavuous. I don’t know how much beer they actually sell but I am sure it is less then what is sold in ShopRite.
DY: I don’t know if it was any easier then to determine who actually owned the chametz over pesach; the supplier or the distributor. I also don’t know if they used non-jewish suppliers as most of the salesmen I saw while working in KRM were frum.
I don’t know if you can tell the Malach Hamaves to come back later.
DY: At one time (back in the 1990’s), KRM sold their Chametz through R’ Asher Zimmerman Tzatzal, who required a minimum of 4 weeks of inventory of all chametz to be purchased prior to Pesach. It could be that they were doing what they always have done.
DY: I don’t see where the ad says what you wrote. It says this has been “our practice for a number of years”.
The Kollel Store in Boro Park has advertised that they purchased enough supply of beer before pesach and sold it with their mechira and will not have to purchase from the distributor until shavuous.
Harris101: Two of my cousins attended the yeshiva as well as others from my shul. I don’t have any personal knowledge other then how I see these bochurim daven and learn. One bachur went to EY as a “brooding” teenager to come back to Chutz Laretz a smiling ben torah.
Yeshiva Toras Chaim
As I have heard a few times from R’ Moshe Meir Weiss…..we cannot judge these survivors. We were not in their place. He would tell the story of his uncle who survived physically but not religiously. At one point during the war, his uncle gave advice to Rabbi Weiss’s father that saved both their lives. Rabbi Weiss stated that who knows the reward his uncle will get for all the torah that he and his siblings learn due to the act that his uncle’s advice saved his father’s life.
I am pretty sure that any shul/yeshiva with a coffee pot will accept a donation.
DovidBT: I agree with you but I have never seen it done with the hand matzos but is common among the machine matzos. Bought “Shoprite” machine matzos months after Pesach and it tasted fresh.
Joseph: bulk was whole wheat from BP bakery, regular was from Shatzer (burnt), one DIL needed thinner matzos and her family uses Lakewood, Pupa Tzeilim from the Rov of my mechutan’s shul (present from the Rov to my son).
CTL is definitely not new here. My wife prefers to drive especially long distance trips. My sister has always been a beter driver than I am.
A search of the WWW has found that Breadberry on 60th street and 17th Avenue does sell Haddar Milk powder (CY) for 6.69 for a 10 oz canister. I do not know how much milk it makes. it is also available at Amazon. Based on what I see a three pack at Amazon is $31.99 and the instructions are “Use one cup Haddar Milk Powder in a container add 3 3/4 cups water and milk powder, one quart milk.”. Doesn’t sound very economical to me.
DovidBT: CS is not CY. I was working in 2 different kosher grocery stores at the time and the CY product never moved. I remember some CS powdered milk from years ago and I personally thought the taste was not like real milk. I have not bought such a product in years.
T22T: If you read the entire “OP”, he uses the word “join” which in my Brooklyn parlance equates with the word “visit”. One of the definitions of visit is “a stay or sojourn as a guest.” Generally when one is a guest it also includes eating.
DovidBT: Powdered CY milk was tried about 20 years ago. It did not sell well and has rarely been tried again.
Read Rabbi Feiner’s message on the home page.
One of my sons was friendly with Yisroel Levin Z”L. I had to deal with him on these same type of thoughts. Thankfully his brothers were a huge help in dealing with his feelings.
I have never heard that children do not visit parents or in laws for this reason.
I didn’t see any dates on my boxes of Shatzer, Lakewood, pups zteilim, or Boro Park matzos.
May you and your family see much nachas from the “rach nimol” as well as from all your other “eineklach”.
G613: It goes back to Europe as many young couples moved into the kallah’s parents house and as hakoras hatov for their support the naming went to the wife. From the chumash we see that Leah gave names to her first 4 sons, Rachel named Bilhah’s sons and Leah named Zilpah’s sons. Rachel named Yosef… וַתִּקְרָ֧א אֶת־שְׁמ֛וֹ יוֹסֵ֖ף לֵאמֹ֑ר. However, we also see that the father’s sometimes named the first born….Er, was named by Yehuda (as it says “vayikra”) וַתַּ֖הַר וַתֵּ֣לֶד בֵּ֑ן וַיִּקְרָ֥א אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ עֵֽר:. Yehuda’s wife named Onan as it says Vatikra וַתַּ֥הַר ע֖וֹד וַתֵּ֣לֶד בֵּ֑ן וַתִּקְרָ֥א אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ אוֹנָֽן: By Tamar’s twins, it says both times “Vayikra” וַיִּקְרָ֥א שְׁמ֖וֹ פָּֽרֶץ: and וַיִּקְרָ֥א שְׁמ֖וֹ זָֽרַח:. We also see that Yosef named Menashe וַיִּקְרָ֥א יוֹסֵ֛ף אֶת־שֵׁ֥ם הַבְּכ֖וֹר מְנַשֶּׁ֑ה. Moshe Rabbeinu named Gershom וַתֵּ֣לֶד בֵּ֔ן וַיִּקְרָ֥א אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ גֵּֽרְשֹׁ֑ם כִּ֣י אָמַ֔ר גֵּ֣ר הָיִ֔יתִי בְּאֶ֖רֶץ נָכְרִיָּֽה:
Personally, my wife and I never divulged the name to anyone before the bris.
147: I didn’t see CTL asking for naming suggestions. I didn’t want family members even suggesting names to me, let alone outsiders. How do you know that his daughter and SIL don’t already have a specific relative that they want to name the child for.
The cost of not printing advertisements would cause the cost of the magazine to be prohibitive to the reader. All printed newspapers and magazines cover most of their costs with advertising, not the news stand price or subscriptions.
ctlawyer: I understand zerizim makdimim but bris and kiddush before davening shachris?

IMO, purchase prepackaged products like Flaums Tuna spread, Egg salad, whitefish salad, and make the seuda on the day of the bris in shul.
There is one from Avrohom Fried (I think it is the album just after No Jew will be Left Behind).
laskern: I am not sure that the answer to the electrical outage question is that simple. Although the person didn’t do anything, the water itself (if it totally cooled) is still being cooked on shabbos. I am not sure if it will be then considered like the Chamei Teveryah.
See Shulchan halevi Chametz Umatza Perek Yud Beis Hehara Yud Alef (page 123). The way it was explained to me he held this Lchatchila.
ubi and others: I have confirmed with Rabbi Gersten of the OU that Rabbi Belsky held that Kitniyos is more than just a minhag and is a chumra so much so that one who cooks kitniyos in a pesach pot must kasher the pot.
Is this the Al Zeh on the MBD Kumzits album?
