you are wrong….everything is about MONEY! $$$$$ OIY!
Maybe you could tell these people next time to bring the foods that they need to the simcha and you will gladly pay for it. that is what we do when we go to affairs of our non frum relatives and we can’t eat there.
forty nine, Boruch Hashem.
and you write better things dear poppa? 🙂
If I have a kugel I want to warm for shabbos lunch I stick it on top of the crockpot, which we have on a timer.
Leaving an oven on all of shabbos is not good for the oven and makes the house hot.
what do your parents use for the choulent?
Sukkos in Israel is the best! Wish I could be there.
I know collegegrad, I was in your shoes once and I feel your pain. it hurts.
I am going to a wedding tonight…girl is not tall (5’3, 5’4) and the guy is over six feet. If you want a taller girl then ask the shadchan how tall the girl is and just don’t go out if you feel height is important to you.
just watch, you’ll get married to a young lady who is taller than you!
I deleted it and went on with my life.
I don’t understand, won’t the neighbor be carrying anyway by pushing a stroller and carrying a diaper bag?
I don’t think this is normal at all and there may be something wrong that she needs to see a doctor. If she is a close friend you can ask her how she is doing and how she is feeling and if she asks why you ask tell her what you have been noticing and you are concerned. If she ended up having a brain tumor chas v’shalom and you didn’t say anything you would feel awful.
I have a friend who is divorced and she took it upon herself never to speak badly about her ex. I have alot of respect for her.
another friend always badmouths her ex, in front of her kids too unfortunately and it gets them upset. Nobody wants to hear about her ex, I told her in a nice way to go for help/therapy. Important to let it go…go on with life.
oh that’s too bad, but better to call it off before than end up divorced.
I guess if the guy is learning full time he needs the support and if the parents of the girl will not support she has no business going out with this guy in the first place.
May your friend find her intended one at the right time.
We used to know someone who worked for the OU and he said that Rabbonim call the OU all the time and then will put their sticker on the product, based on what the OU says.
When we go up to shamayim after 120 years I don’t think the first question we will be asked is “did you only eat heimishe brands and products?”
Personally, I buy what is cheaper. So if the ungers tomato sauce is cheaper than the hunts tomato sauce, I’ll buy the ungers.
My husband did not like it when I chewed gum so I stopped. It is for sure not a refined thing to do but if it is done quietly and without blowing bubbles and cracking it I think it’s okay. we have worse things to worry about, unfortunately.
might come out too wet if you put in more concentrate so try some splenda or a bit of sugar or honey.
I actually fall asleep in the little “cocoon” but I know some people can’t handle it. You should speak with your doc maybe he can suggest something.
My parents also went through the war, and it really has made a big difference in the way I was raised. Right now at this stage of my life I miss having relatives and family (all were killed in the war).
knowing that my relatives died for the “crime” of being Jewish made religion very important to me and I wanted to grow up and have a family and raise Jewish children so there should be a continuation. Judaism was and is very important to me.
Did your parents let you get a job when you were young? my father never let us babysit…he was always watching and worrying about us. we were also taught to not trust anyone…
I have also noticed the behavior of frum Yidden at the Monticello Walmart. I think they are on vacation mode. All we can do is work on ourselves, and make sure to do a kiddush Hashem especially in public. If you are on line and have a full shopping cart, let a person who has just a few items go ahead of you. Be polite, walk on the side of the street and not the middle, just because you are in the country doesn’t mean there are no cars that need to go by.
By the way, you can alert the cashier that someone put icecream in the fridge and that there are cards all over the floor. Or pick them up yourself.
I think a miscarriage is early on in the pregnancy when the baby is still a fetus and a stillborn is when the baby is at term and is not alive at birth. 🙁
I didn’t have time to read all the posts here about facebook. I think lovesbeingjewish is well meaning and wants to do something for Leiby. It’s kind of amusing to be on one website communicating with people you don’t know in the coffee room and not to be on facebook (I know all of the people on my fb page and never communicate or friend strangers). Some people might read this and say Hey, this is a good idea, and delete their account. If that is what will be good for them, great, and if they choose not to it’s their personal choice and they may be doing another great mitzvah and be on a very high leval in other areas. Who are we to know or judge, only Hashem knows.
Yes, we would love to do something for leiby and each of us has something that we chose on our own that is meaningful. Misaskim is in desperate need of sefrei Torah for availim and I thought it was a good idea for the aliyah of Leiby’s neshama. Others have given or done other things.
If one cannot afford to give money for tzaddakah right now, then one can pick another mitzvah. Like loving another Jew. Smiling to others, be nice and dan lekaf zechus. Try to always make a kiddush Hashem. Hold the door open for another person when you go into a store. Saying please and thank you. Just making sure you are a mentsh and make the world a better place where our children feel a little safer.
thank you.
Always runs with scizzors fast…
I see you are very torn. You want to be one of the crowd, just like everybody else, accepted by the community. But you are feel different than the others because you love art and have different ideas and a different upbringing.
My advice to you is to be careful in who you express your thoughts to. You can’t expect all FFB’s in your community to understand your view and where you are coming from. If you make comments about their chassidic ways and minhagim and question them, then you are the one who is setting yourself apart, and she or he will respond to that. Be careful who you share your viewpoint with, and that they will be able to understand you, and you won’t feel so different.
I am hoping that after poor Leiby’s death we will continue to have more achdus in the Jewish community. It’s not us and them. We are all Jews and we are all in this world together.
I bought most of Shabbos this week, I made choulent in the crockpot and I made fruit soup for friday night (no cooking involved for the soup). but I ended up making some chicken soup because my husband wanted it.
I never felt comfortable letting my children go collecting money. I would write out a check myself and give it to them. In light of the recent tragedy I think that parents should accompany their children while collecting.
Refuah Shelayma Blabla. You are admitting that you have this illness and are taking steps to get better, and IY”H you will. There is a young woman at my gym who is looking very anorexic and we are all very worried about her. She claims she is fine but she is withering away and has become very withdrawn. It hurts me to look at her and I worry she will be hospitalized soon. It’s a scary disease.
My kids refuse to work at such camps. It’s a choice. The camps get away with this because there are so many teens that are looking for jobs at these camps, that would pay for the privilege.
Even if a father does not smoke in front of the children, the smoke lingers on his clothing and his breath. that can’t be too healthy or pleasant to be near.
hope it’s not strep, refuah shelaymah!
Torah Rhymes and Riddles is a cute book, keeps the kids interested.
Observanteen, first of all I want to wish you mazal tov. How kind of you to be so caring and considerate of your friend. Maybe it would give her chizzuck to tell her you will daven for her under your chuppah and have her in mind for shidduchim and won’t forget about her. You may have bochurim for shabbos and find a great shidduch for her!
My daughter once showed me the best place to daven at the kosel. If you go through the kotel tunnels they have a shul in there with a separate area for men and separate are for women. It is clean, cool, and quiet. Just tell the people who run the kotel tunnel tours that you are just going to daven and they will let you though for free.
Nestle’s choc chip cookies (on the bag of choc chips) but those choc chips are dairy so you may want to get pareve choc chips. enjoy!
Mrs. Critique,
I think better the girl is in the CR than in another website, no? and of course she has time on her hands, school is over, camp didn’t start yet!
My neice went to camp with her best friend last year and the best friend did not want to stay with her but wanted to make new friends. So even if you went to camp with your best friend in your bunk she may not want to be around you so much. so this may be a good thing!
Hatzlocha Rabba in camp!
I like the Ami magazine. Was just a little surprised last night when I read the words “Oh my G-d” in one of the articles. Not that something is wrong with that, but I ususally don’t see those words printed in frum magazines and newspapers.
Maybe people aren’t giving gifts because they are making or contributing to the sheva brochos. Food is very expensive these days….
I like to give gifts and I try to stock up on things on sale, like nice drinking glasses for the shabbos table, a picture frame, a nice naigel vaaser cup. and I write a nice note wishing them mazal tov and all the brochos!
If you can’t afford a gift I think your gift is attending the wedding which does cost you gas and your time.
May we only have more simchas in klal yisroel!
I am glad we had benchers at our chasunah…my husband always makes kiddush using OUR bencher, making it very special to me. If you go to a wedding you don’t have to take a bencher if you have too many at home. Leave it for the chosson and kallah and their families who don’t mind having extras.
My problem is what to do it I am invited to the chasunah and then I am asked to contribute money towards a neighborhood sheva brochos. so what do I do, get them a chasunah gift or give $ for sheva brochos. Boruch Hashem I have many simchas. Hard to give both!
Maybe the reason they didn’t give a gift was because they had to contribute to one of the sheva brochos. Sometimes the neighbors rent out a hall and chip in, so they consider this the gift to the young couple.
I would probably give them a little something, even if they didn’t give for my simcha.
Hashem should bless klal yisroel with many simchas!!!
When our daughter returned from seminary she started getting all these letters asking for tzaddakah. Our Rov said that since she lives under our roof she does not have to give them.
When you send to seminary the girls get on these lists.
Now I am getting lots of automated phone calls at night, be the lucky winner, press one to enter. I guess it’s cheaper than sending out mailings.
Refuah Shelaimah to Mr.Rottenberg and may him and his family know no more tzaar. I saw pictures of him, AWFUL! 🙁
Adorable, it wasn’t for you but that doesn’t mean that seminary wasn’t a valuable experience for your friends. To each his or her own.
And Kol Hakavod that you didn’t go just because of peer pressure.
If a parent cannot afford to send a daughter to seminary then they shouldn’t send! end of story!
I am so happy that everyone is okay. It’s a miracle! 🙂
HaLeiVi, cats hate getting wet. Tigers like water and love to go swimming but regular house cats detest water.
Always here, if you do decide to get a kitten again, you can train it to not go on top of your table. Any time it goes on the table, clap your hands and say no, and you can give it a gentle shpritz with a water bottle. good luck.
