I agree, some people really get too drunk on Purim and end up missing the purim seudah in which they have a mitzvah. What really hurts me is when I see small boys running around with cigarettes in their mouths.
At home I do the treadmill.
At the gym I do bootcamp, step aerobics, kickbox, pilates, and weights. my sister calls me the gym rat. love it.
It has become acceptable in the frum community to wear light color nail polish. I don’t think anything is wrong with it and would allow my daughters to go for manicures (but they don’t want to…)
no, it is not right for boys to get very drunk and make a big spectacle of themselves on the street. I feel it is very wrong when I see bochurim and young boys SMOKING, “because it’s purim and we can just let loose and do anything we want”.
But there are many people who do the right thing, I am so impressed by the young boys and fathers who go to learn early Purim morning after megillah (called Yeshivas Mordechai) and for the ladies who prepare beautiful purim seudah and daven with kavanah that day and are moser nefesh to hear megillah when there is so much to do!
I like to put on a hat or something subtle on purim…it makes my purim a little happier. and the men are too drunk to notice.
This should be our worst problem in klal yisroel, chosson cards and lots of vorts to go to!
Very good advice from Shuli but even if you follow that you can still break out from hormones. If you have a very severe case you may want to ask your doc about accutane.
Did you apply to other seminaries? BJJ is very hard to get into.
Ofcourse…I am sorry you still feel bad about what happened and that it hurt you. If you could find it in your heart to forgive these people it would be such a zechus for you and your family.
And IY”H you will teach your children and teens to give an adult a seat (even if she’s not pregnant). good shabbos
You just started shidduchim at the age of twenty SIX? I thought most guys start at twenty three at the latest.
Look at the other details about this girl and if you like what you hear maybe you can give it a try. Twenty five is really not too old for a twenty six year old, is it?
Popa, people are suffering from skin picking and picking lips..
“I have a terrible habit that when I’m bored, nervous or just anytime, my fingers find their way to my lips and I start picking, pulling, ripping… I wish I can stop but I can’t help myself, did anyone have this habit and successfully stop? How?”
another poster wrote about picking her lips so much that she is bleeding, and she feels bad that she picks on shabbos.
they are seeking help here, not jokes.
not funny popa_bar_abba. You wouldn’t write this if you suffered from this. It’s important to show sensitivity to others.
It isn’t meant to be sliced and served on a plate like a potato kugel or noodle kugel. I serve it in the baking dish I baked it in with a spoon and everyone takes what they want.
If you want to slice and serve you’d be better off with an apple kugel that has the eggs flour oil, if you need a recipe like that I can give you…
I like to order from kerenaniyem.com They are nice, reasonable, and the money goes to tzaddakah.
nothing happens to the crunch if you bake it more than an hour. if you bake the apples first I would NOT add any water because the apples and cranberry sauce have enough liquid.
I have tried it with canned apple filling but my family likes it with fresh apples.
ten dollars an hour…plus five for car service one way. worth every penny!
You could also try putting bandaids on your fingers to remind you not to pick your lips and to make it harder to pick.
Skin picking and hair pulling (trichotillomania), to my knowledge, is a habit and one form of OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). If you google “help for skin picking” there are many web sites that can be helpful. I wouldn’t say someone picking their lips has underlying psychological problems, it’s just a habit that they do without thinking that for some reason they find pleasurable. Except that it does damage to your lips. You could also seek out a cognitive behavioral therapist that deals with skin picking and set out a plan of action how to stop (no you don’t have to talk about your deep problems, childhood etc.) good luck!
I think the problem with short sleeves over long sleeves is that alot of times it is a tight short sleeved shirt over a long sleeved shell. It’s kind of a cool with it look and I cannot imagine a Rebbitzen or school principal wearing one. Personally,
I have no problem with this layered kind of look and my girls do wear it although one daughter chooses not to.
But I do not understand why the standard of the length of skirts got SO SHORT! but that’s another discussion…
New Square. The guy who works the dairy department told me to get that brand, that is what his own family uses. and store in the back of fridge on top shelf, not on the door. So it will stay cold and fresh.
I think the teacher would understand that the child wasn’t feeling well enough to do the homework. Don’t feel pressured about it. Refuah shelaimah.
Why should they have to call before they walk in the door? Cause you took your shoes off? What else did you take off that you don’t want anyone surprising you?
Twiggy, that’s what I thought, how can you eat all this fruit and lose weight. But it works! Instead of reaching for a snack that has points you eat an apple or other fruit. Weight watchers has done alot of research on this before they came out with this plan and people are loving it and eating healthier than ever.
I think it might have been loshon horah to specify the school the girl attends. Would have been better to write that she goes to a Bais Yaakov in a frum neighborhood. am I the only one who feels this way? Is the coffee room becoming a little bit the gossip/loshon horah room?
You can say to your host “What can I bring?” This way they can tell you what they could use or if a gift isn’t necessary.
And for sure helping clear the table is much appreciated.
I could work out twenty four hours a day and not lose, for me I have to also watch what I eat.
I think if you lay off the sugar and white flour the pounds will come off. Whole wheat grains, brown rice, and whole wheat bread is more filling and tastes better (in my humble opinion).
The best gift was for sure my wonderful husband.
wolfish, that is great! Were you able to keep the weight off? That is the hard part…maintaining!
This recipe can be simplified if you buy the Hadar Apple Crisp Crumb Topping with oats. just cut and cube the apples and mix with the whole berry cranberry sauce and put topping on. So easy and delicious, just made it today.
Oh, I didn’t notice that it was a men’s thread, sorry.
too fattening!
how about “HELLO”??? I forbid my kids from saying that and I cringe when adults say it. makes my blood boil for some reason, LOL!
that is so nice to light nairos early in the zchus of cholim, I should do that.
If it’s just the family I start planning shabbos on wednesday, shop and cook on thursday, and do salads on friday along with setting the table and cleaning up the kitchen/house. If I am having company I start earlier…
Call project YES in Brooklyn. They provide help for siblings of OTD kids.
You are not alone. There are many kids that are OTD and it is very hard for the parents and siblings. But this will make you stronger and you will have alot of understanding and ahavat yisroel for every Jew. Daven to Hashem that he should help your brother come back to Yiddishkiet. Hatzlocha!
seminary= camp plus tests plus $20,000.
I’m with chayav inish livisumay! I hate unloading and putting away the groceries.
Poster…what is a bid pony?
When wigs looked like horse hair, many frum women did not cover their hair. Now that they look so nice, many women now cover their hair, so that is a big plus. And some have a hechsher, cause we don’t want that indian hair avodah zorah tarfus on our heads!
On the other hand, I saw a shaitel yesterday that had almost neon orange high lights….way too much! (and the woman likes it like that).
I don’t think the article is true. Don’t believe everything you read. they just want to make the chassidim look like barbarians.
