“Kedusha should go upwards.” What do you mean by that please explain.
I say give $20. You never know when you may need him! It is also a kiddush Hashem.
I hear you, always runs with scissors fast. Sundays are a hectic kind of day. Maybe you could hire a babysitter to watch some of the younger kids while you take out the older ones or your husband is available to help. Gam zeh yaavor your kids will grow up fast! good luck and goodd Shabbos.
Ken Zayn, my husband always holds the door open for me.
Ajax and all other cleansers should be in a locked cabinet out of reach of small children.
Maybe you could get a teenage girl to help you during “crazy time” in your house. Some schools have a program and they send girls to help out families.
I am not an expert but it seems to me that these women have OCD in which they take religion to the extreme. They need to be seen by a professional and take medication. I pity them.
If the minhag hamakom is that yeshivish people wear white shirts, then you wear white shirts. Unfortunately we live in a society where people will judge you by the way you dress. It’s a fact.
Popa bar Abba, I didn’t realize it was just a high school in Brooklyn. thanks.
Sounds like they are jealous of you. Forget about it.
Maybe they made this new policy because the girls want to date guys with white shirts and don’t understand that CC is a very good yeshiva, colored shirts and all.
I don’t see the problem with wearing a ring on your left hand if you are single. Unless it looks like a diamond or a wedding band.
Agreed.
Ha ha Agreer, soon the kallah will have to give her chosson a kesubah under the chuppah, with how much she will support her husband with.
Someone was just telling me that she went to Bais Yaakov in williamsburg a long time ago and the chassidish girls did not go to the classes in which they had to use seforim as that was their minhag.
I think it’s a great idea! go for it. I wish they had shiurim to watch at my gym.
do your kids keep cholov yisroel? would you mind if they would eat cholov stam once in a while? if the answer is yes, then you shouldn’t eat the cholov stam. just my two cents.
you will be in gehenom for being in the coffee room. JUST KIDDING! 🙂
someone once told me that a young man went to pick up a girl on a shidduch date. came to the house and sat down with the father while the girl was getting ready. the father asked “so, what is your plan?” so the bochur answered “if you want a plan, get a cell phone.”
nowadays you can take courses on line and there are various programs available in the ny area for men and women (rebbitzen bulka, sorah shnierer, raizel rite).
You should discuss with your parents what options/courses they would allow you to take, do your research and present various schools to them.
It is up to the parent to do research into what school to send their daughters. If the school is very into learning things by heart (memorizing) and learning things that you don’t think is needed, don’t send there. let the buyer beware.
Try going to a nutritionist who can teach you how to eat better and weigh you once a week. If you are diabetic your insurance might cover the cost.
Choose an exercise that you enjoy. I like to walk on the treadmill while listening to something. Try to plan your workouts for the morning (or else it never gets done).
Wishing you good luck and gezunt!
I kind of see your point, but in the coffee room there is no way you can get in touch with the other person and there are no pics. It’s not like facebook.
On the other hand I would not like it if “Abbaofthree” would be communicating with other women even in the coffee room.
Shmuelgr, your high school should have Rabaim that know you well enough to direct you to a yeshiva that would be the right fit for you. Chofetz Chaim is a really nice yeshiva, I wish you hatzlocha.
just substitute coffee rich or juice for the milk.
Not so nice to be on the cell phone during speeches and chuppa etc. but it’s better than talking and disturbing.
For some young ladies it’s good to go to seminary in Israel. But for some it’s not.
Zehava’s Dad, that is true, but if you switch colleges not all of your credits may be transferable so you have lost more money that way.
I have relatives who are not frum and I have watched what they go through in deciding what college they send their kids too. They go with their kids to the open houses to the schools they are interested in and see the campus, the dorm, and the heads. True they are deciding on a four year college and seminary is only a year, but still it is quite a bit of money to spend on a school you never saw.
I know a principal who makes it her business to travel to Israel and visit the seminaries before she suggests them to her students.
I just find it amazing that we plunk down twenty thousand to send girls to a seminary that we have never seen nor met the staff. It’s not like you can fly over to Israel to attend their “open house”.
I am wondering what Arig’s daughter is going to do now that she is home. I hope something good will work out. hatzlocha!
Go for it! I know so many people that are happily married who met at some sort of chessed event. Hatzlocha rabbah!
Why won’t you just go grocery shopping first thing in the morning when the store opens? You will have the store almost to yourself and no nosy people.
does anyone look for the trophy husband? Does that exist?
yosemite national park in California is also beautiful.
I don’t understand how skinny means pretty. I would understand if the mother ask if the girl is pretty, nice looking. a girl could be thin and not attractive.
I am taking a break from trying to make shidduchim. So tired of being asked by the mother of the boy “Is the girl skinny”? Their very first question and their main priority. The girls don’t ask if the boy is skinny!
Feif Un, I hope your wife has a better fast next year. I was in bed all day but that is what I have to do if I want to make it though the fast.
I think it is great you are in no rush to get married and you have other things in your life. that being said, perhaps you should still do your hishtadlus and go to shadchanim. Maybe if you meet someone you really like and he likes you then you would feel like you would like to get married. No harm in going out on a few shidduch dates. Hatzlocha rabba!
LOL 600 kilo bear!
if the challah is pareve you could toast it and put butter on it. Or you can toast it and have it with cheese or peanut butter and jelly. comes in handy because now the minhag is only to eat pas yisroel.
I’ll take the flowers. 😉
One of the things that amazes me about most of these Israeli seminaries is that we americans plop down thousands of dollars on a school we have never seen, nor have we even spoken to the heads of the seminary. The girls wait by the mailbox in February (?) to get the letter of acceptance to these schools. Then comes the packing the shopping, more packing and shopping. They finally get there and oh no, there are all these changes! The food is not like mommy’s, they miss being home for shabbos, they have to share a room with two other people, it’s so hot/freezing, the homesickness and the tears come. This is all normal and part of the seminary year. The one thing I would suggest is maybe call the aim bayit of the seminary and mention your daughter is really homesick. I am sure she has a trick or two up her sleeve for homesick girls. Good luck!
If you really don’t think she is the one for you then I don’t think you should go out a second time. Why waste her time and yours? hatzlocha rabba and may you meet the right soon at the right time.
when we were first married we did not have a washing machine so my husband used to bring the wash to the laundramat.
How about the young men having resume’s? Only the girls have resumes. I’d be happy if they would just have a resume, forget about the picture!
picture good. How much money her parents will give a month even better.
Mommamia, I bet your cleaning ladies love you and don’t quit on you! If you treat a cleaning lady with kindness and respect they will do ANYTHING for you…happily. and a little holiday tip once a year is a must, in my opinion.
I love the lazy susan’s, great for spices.
I think that in todays workplace, everyone calls each other by first name only. It is commendable that the woman left the job because she did not feel comfortable being called by first name. But what if she has a family to support and can’t get another job where they will call her miss or mrs? This is for sure a question that she should ask her Rov (as much as I love Rabbi Falk’s sefer, he is not paskening for everybody, just giving guidelines).
Come on over and meet my daughter! And bring your son! I agree with you one hundred percent!
