apushatayid: That’s what cultural conditioning does to a person. They thought it was delicious because growing up oyster was a delicacy to them. To FFBs, who grew up with the pasuk “sheketz hu lachem” it in fact becomes sheketz (detestable).
lbj:(Mrs. Johnson? Is that you?) I’m just curious what gave you the idea that anyone who has a facebook account is a fallen person.
We’re playing a word game where each player posts a phrase containing a word from the phrase above it. We started with yiddish sayings but somewhere along the line it switched to pesukim and maamarei chazal. It’s really simple. Deiyezooger posted the maamar above your post, so I respond with

minyangal: Let me join the chorus saying that you are right and the official troll-in-residence is wrong again. Prayer is a very important mitzva, in fact easily one of the most important. If you attend minyan every day and make all the zmanim, you have a better record than many Orthodox. I won’t sugar-coat it by saying that I think you’re doing the right thing, because I don’t. As far as I’m concerned you are violating halacha in a way that has historically caused major divisions in the Jewish nation, but that doesn’t negate the fact that you are davening and I don’t see how a Jew can tell you to stop. Keep it up.
prof:
a- I’m currently giving shiurim to Jews with next to no Orthodox background. Can I pick your brain a bit about topics?
b- The Lithuanian/White Russian Jews paskened from the chayei adam who requires women to daven shmoneh esrei. Just another factor for the discussion.
If you can’t move the location then go, eat beforehand and only order drinks. Do not try to play games like “well everything in the salad is kosher and they might not use the same knives…”
Chein: That is correct.
Englishman: If being from the same country as talmidei chachamim and tzaddikim makes one yichus, than even the Hungarians must acknowledge that they are not the “elite of the elite.” That honor goes to the Israelis who are from the same country as the neviim or –if you complain about the new yishuv — Iraqis who are from the same country as the Amoraim.
Englishman: That’s funny, I thought the elite were the talmidei chachomim? Or the kohanim? Ingarischer edited
Let’s take up a collection for the Neturei Charta nosh campaign.
Can mine be changed to “shelo asani frummak”? Or at the very least “proud modern orthodox” like Feif Un?

bpt: No, it requires rosho v’rubo. All us libi b’mizrachniks have to drag the rest of our bodies along eventually.
A rough English translation for vatranus would be “passivity” or “easy-going.” It means being willing to forgo something you are actually entitled to in order to avoid machlokes. It’s a very important mida since it helps you avoid ka’as.

A chandelier isn’t enough. Chandelier matches floor matches mezuza cases. Otherwise you have a Galitzianer wannabe.

BP girl: You’re right, “flashy” would be a better word.
bear: So since my great grandmother was Rumanian and I don’t keep that siggeeeleh, do I qualify for Saygec Arosz?
Get the cotton. Personally I can only stand to put the wool on on shabbos in this weather.
Yekkes are more understated and classy. Hungarians are more ostentatious and gaudy.

As always, ask a rav who is familiar with both you and the issue you’re asking about.

I’d like to thank the Neturei Karta for their generous donation to the JNF through the purchase of specially marked bags of Osem products. Their generous gift will go a long way to building a bombproof recreation center for the children of Sderot. May they be zocheh to contribute further to the building of the land of Israel.

Two weeks ago we were milchigs for shabbos. Eggplant lasagna Friday night, German pickled salmon Shabbos afternoon.
Probably because his parents, older siblings, and every adult he sees are always talking about the shidduch crisis.
charliehall: Or decide it isn’t worth it.

There are other pages that talk more about it.

“My averois here in a place where we are bringing people back to Yiddishkeit… are worth more than your questionable mitzvah of yishuv ha-aretz.”
This is what is wrong with you kannoim. It isn’t a mitzvah, fine — there are such opinions. It’s better for my avodas Hashem in America — in hachi nami, stay gezunteheit. But you don’t leave it at that, you feel the need to attack everyone else and in doing so, say things that are beyond the pale of yiddishkeit. I once heard a proponent of this shita, not NK mind you, but mainstream as you please say that we shouldn’t care whether or not moshiach comes or daven for it because our tafkid is to stay in golus and moshiach will come whether we daven or not. He felt the need to say this because it happened to be the shabbos after 5 iyar. The Divrei Yoel zy”a himself falls into that trap in Vayoel Moshe (I believe siman 74, have to check) when he says davening is also a violation of the three oaths. I beg you as a fellow Jew, don’t let your kannaus make you say things you’ll regret after 120.

Adding too many exclamation points doesn’t make you right.

(Trying to keep it in the theme of these three weeks.)
Let’s conduct an experiment.
I will ask two recently married close friends (one shanah rishona) to host couples at their shabbos tables this week. We’ll see what happens.
Hi. Welcome.
Tosafos in Mesechas ??? ???? on daf alef…
is the longest tosafos in shas. It’s the one that contains every chazal that people quote that doesn’t actually exist.
Since I’m a MO Jew who went to charedi yeshivos, I have plenty of friends who don’t eat by me, and plenty of friends whose houses I would not eat at. Sometimes accommodations can be made, when friends who keep cholov yisroel come over, we do only cholov yisroel (cold only because of keilim.) If we have someone over for shabbos, we ask about shechita preferences as well as allergies. When I meet friends whose kashrus standards aren’t my own, either they do something similar or we eat out. So far I’ve been dealing this way for years and my parents have been doing the same since before I was born and none of us has lost a friend over it yet.
If you want an extreme example, we once visited one of my father’s non-Jewish friends from college (going back over thirty years). He bought kosher cold cuts, kosher bread, kosher cake, and a new knife all so we could eat there once. Another non-Jewish friend of his has a drawer with three sets of kosher dishes (read 6, milchig plus fleishig) for when his Jewish friends visit.
Getting serious again, because one thousand nine hundred and forty-one years ago today, the walls of Jerusalem were breached by the Roman army.
I’m in favor. I’m also in favor of lowering the drinking age to 18, and permitting parents to serve alcohol to their kids. (Many states restrict or forbid it.) Studies have shown that Jews and Italians have lower rates of alcoholism than other groups because they’re introduced to it at a young age under controlled circumstances.
