notpashut,
About time. I don’t think you have to be afraid to say what you know is true. Everyone on the “other side” (I put that in quotes because I know we should not be calling it “sides”) seems to be able to say whatever they think. You don’t have to be afraid of anyone except H-shem. And by the way, the only reason that I didn’t write what you did is because I know it’s true but don’t have enough knowledge to back it up when i get hit with all the questions.I think you do. Keep it up and stop being so afraid to say the truth.
squeak,
Thanks! Let me know when I reach that milestone!
About the cake, good idea! (I think yoyo wants a cake that you can eat !)
LOL-literally :-
I can only try,
Thanks!
(Sorry, the comment that i posted asking for someone to explain it again was after you gave the first explanation…)
BTW, I see that you did the lists and nothing happened to the rest of the thread. Should I try it or risk ruining the thread?

who’s the one who can’t spell??? ahem… “
1. I wrote that you have a hard time misspelling not spelling
2.I guess I’m slow, I don’t get what you’re getting at.

I still don’t get why we don’t see a laser beam. What are you referring to by a laser beam? Maybe i am misunderstanding you. Isnt that the light that you don’t see the beam?
Funny, i was a reader of this website looooooooong before I got a screen name! LOL! I never should have!
didn’t augustus or some kind of other roman emperor whipe out 10 days from the calander at one point?
SJSinNYC,
I have to say, I’m very impressed. I can’t understand the sports thing because I was never involved but I think getting rid of an obsession is one of the hardest things!
Can someone explain again how the ul and ol work?
brooklyn19
Wow! You actually admit to something being hard for you? (Even if it is only that you can’t misspell!)
squeak,
soon as I saw your post, I knew you were referring to the grammar. But my 8th grade teacher (I still remember!) said it is supposed to be “healthy for you”! I guess maybe she was wrong or I remember wrong. (Now, please don’t comment on my grammar usage. thanks!)
P.S. Did I put the e’s and i’s in the right places?
charlie brown,
Thanks so much. I know you probably knew that all those i’s don’t really belong there but you really helped me out with my embarressment. I don’t know how I can ever thank you!
YW Moderator-99,
btw, what’s the difference!
SO! I was #500 from the posts that were NOT deleted! NOW i feel better!
YW Moderator-99,
How can you do this to me?!!
squeak,
That is rediculous. That is what I thought. But it really doesn’t make sense. Whatever.
SJSinNYC,
NotPashut is obviously way more knowledgeable than me and responded pretty thoroughly. Any comment by me is superfluous. One thing I do want to mention is that you say that you don’t consider “yeshivish” people to be more “frum” than modern orthodox (the movements, not the individuals). I disagree.
So why does a flashlight show the beam and not the laser?
BTW, dont have internet, I think I had the honor to be post #500. Isn’t there some kind of award for something like that??? I noticed that the thread said “500 posts” and my username was listed as the last post! Wow!
Why aren’t my lists working?
:'(
Curious,
I copied and pasted it in Notepad and it looked REALLY good! I just didn’t realize right away, but the candles are on bottom. Nice work!
By the way, where do you talents lie?
brooklyn19,
You’re crazy! What if the guy you went out with looks at the coffee room all the time and when you go out he realizes that you fit “brooklyn19″‘s description!? He’ll never marry you! LOL!
As a side point, isn’t it just the BEST therapy when someone is angry for someone else to say, “CALM DOWN!”? The angry person usually becomes as calm as a duck, no?
dd,
I don’t think everyone is ashkenazim. But right now I am speaking about ashkenazim, not sphardim.
oomis1105,
Why was that more likely to have been spoken that way in the times of the bais Hamikdash? Were some dikduk rules made up later on? Also as some previous posters mentioned, different shvatim had different pronunciations even in the midbar . In that case there is no one correct pronunciation.
Joseph,
I think I remember that temanim are supposed to pronounce gimmel and dalet differently with a dagesh kal.
SJSinNYC,
It’s true, but as far as I know, it is definitely not the correct havara for ashkenazim. I think it only became popular since the Hebrew language came about. That’s why, I think it is incorrect to be using that havara for lashon kodesh. If you are speaking the language (which is NOT Lashon Kodesh) then use the correct accent. But really, I don’t think it makes sense to use it when davening/learning
squeak,
Thanks for your response. I am aware that Israel uses the sfardy havara for the language. But why do American, usually the more modern, schools use that havara? I believe they use it at all times, to learn chumash etc. Are they trying to teach the hebrew language as opposed to Lashon Kodesh?
brooklyn19
Well don’t worry, I probably make you look studious.
Why didn’t mine work?
I’ll try again and someone tell me what i did wrong 🙁

I asked this question in a different thread and did not receive a response,
Why do some people pronounce all Tav’s with the hard sound “t” and never use the “s” sound. As far as I remember (correct me if I am wrong) Tav is pronounced /t/ when there is a Dagesh Kal in it and pronounced /s/ when there is not. It’s possible that I’m wrong but I think that there is no Dagesh in the Tav in the words kesuba, Shabbos, Mitzvosai (AKA Ketuba, Shabbat, Mitzvotai) just some words I came across recently.
I know this is the Israeli accent but that is not the correct havara (at least by ashkenazim.
Anyone?
can anyone answer my question that I asked before?

SJSinNYC,
I don’t want to be disrespectful, because I know it bothers you very much when people speak with disrespect to eachother (I don’t mean to be sarcastic in case I am coming across like that). Basically, I don’t this post will have any effect on you, but just to explain why you will never agree with eachother. Although in almost all aspects I can barely ever come up with one thing that you say against “halacha”.
You say that you don’t feel that you need gates [gedarim] for yourself.
I know this is a bit out of context but anyone can feel free to look at your post and I don’t think the words around it change it much. I think it is a bit scary. You seem to trust in yourself a bit too much. I am sure you are very trustworthy but you are still human. Chazal tell us that one should not trust in himself. (I dont remember the exact wording.) Again, I doubt I will have any influence on your life, but realize that when people seem to be equating “yeshivish” with more frum, see where they are coming from. They are not referring to the black hat. (Most people from more MO backgrounds who become more “yeshivish” don’t think they are doing a big mitzva by putting on the black hat. I assume they want to fit into the community around them which I think is pretty normal. That is usually one of the later steps.)
FYI, all the laws of muktza are pretty much gedarim.
squeak,
E is the answer
(how many pickles would I eat if I would like pickles?)
never thought that line was for an answer. thought it’s just a cute tongue twister.
I can only try,
that is v. interesting, but if it is true (and I’m not sure that it is) that light can only be seen through matter, then your argument does not make sense because there would be no light at all.
lesschumras,
I’m not sure that I get what I said that evoked your “response”. I don’t actually go around spitting at decorations in case you don’t understand figurative language. I don’t recall using the word “shvartze” in the near past or accusing other jews of being frei. Your post lacks any connection or flow and doesn’t make much sense to me.
“If you don’t want to see the lights, move to Israel or Saudi Arabia.” Did I say that they don’t have a right to use those lights? I have no problem with them using it. I just don’t think that we as Jews should enjoy it.
“It’s possible that I’m wrong but I think that there is no Dagesh in the word kesuba.”
I meant that there is no Dagesh Kal in the Tav of the word Kesuba.

There is no moderater, 42, 72, 86 or 99. It is all maybe one or two people.

I doubt the computer would recognize what you have to say. I cannot really understand people’s speech over age 99. they usually don’t speak too clearly.
I can only try,
Is it because light can only travel through matter (the gases in the air) so we wouldn’t know day and night? But then you probably would have mentioned more things then shabbos and yom tov such as zmanim for tefilla.
It’s true. I never click on sticky threads.
noitallmr,
Why can’t it go straight from our thoughts, or better yet, our subconscience (sp).
brooklyn19,
I didn’t figure it out. It was obvious. I tought myself how to type on my own way before high school with a program that was probably made in 1941. But I used the course in high school to improve my speed. My accuracy is pretty bad though. I type 2 letters forward on one backspace! LOL!
“lol don’t worry i got credit for that class. i waltzed through high school :} (with pull… i know – it’s nauseous…)”
Are you accusing yourself of being lazy or only boys who don’t take english? 🙂
I can only try,
we used to play that at birthday parties (without all the twists though). A good idea would also be to include small prizes in each layer such as erasers and sticker but I guess that wouldn’t work for the 15-yr-olds
This is unrelated to the topic but TOHIGHSCHOOLGUY’s mention of the “ketuba” made me write this.
I am curious why some people pronounce all Tav’s with the hard sound “t” and never use the “s” sound. As far as I remember Tav is pronounced /t/ when there is a Dagesh Kal in it and pronounced /s/ when there is not. It’s possible that I’m wrong but I think that there is no Dagesh in the word kesuba.
Can someone explain this to me? Do you use these pronunciations in Davening as well?
brooklyn19,
Please! When anyone sees those lights it is associated with their holiday. It is GOYISH. Please don’t advertise the fact that those lights make you feel cozy. It is unfortunate that we are so entretched in the goyish culture that instead of wanting to spit at their decorations, we actually enjoy looking at it. It’s very sad.
When you see the word “intelligent” and think it’s referring to you… (I guess that would only apply to me though.)
The lights used in e”y is out of ignorance. One purim, all the children were walking around with santa costumes.

it sounded to me like he was asking a question, not making blanket statements.
