Obviously I remember Joseph.
I also remember DYWhat’s with squeak? Moish01? Mods 72 and 42?
Good times.
Figured this is as good a thread as any to say “Hi”
Hey DY,
Ya, WhatsApp requires both parties to have the app.
The Kosher Smartphones actually have Whatsapp on them
But Heywire (and google voice) give u a US number which is with you worldwide. And is free.
There used to be a way to send an sms to israel via google (google chat) but it didnt work for every carrier, and I dont know if it even exists today
Options:
1. Use WhatsApp
2. get them to get a US number for SMS using Heywire
3. make sure have the israeli number correctly. a text to 059-987-6543 should be sent as follows +972599876543
Best place is either newegg.com or amazon.com
Make sure that it works with the bands of the carrier he plans on using.
For example, HotMobile only runs on 3G, 850/2100
What about haftorahs which appear in other haftorahs in part?
Isn’t Haftaras V’yetzei part of Haftaras Shabbos Shuva?
If there are two Shabbos Chanukahs, the 2nd will be miketz.
Move it up a day (meaning if Chanukah starts on Fri). It is Motzei Chanukah which is Miketz.
Nothing to do with a leap year.
Think about it this way, Beraishis will always be the week after Simchas Torah.
Leap year will only start affecting the parshios after Mishpatim.
Pinchos is read in a leap year when Pesach falls on Motzei Shabbos or Tuesday (like this past year).
“Pinchas is 10.6% (a leap year when rosh hashana ws Thursday)
Kedoshim is read 11.1 % of time”
That is MAY be the figures for chu”l
But is isn’t for EY.
When do we EVER read Tazria?
In a non-leap year it is combined with Metzora.
In a leap year it is HaChodesh (Shmini is ALWAYS Parah in a leap year)
Have a look at http://www.hebcal.com/sedrot/tazria
Between 2012 and 2024 Haftaras Tazria ISN’T READ ONCE!!
Actually, Miketz isn’t the rarest. I read somewhere that we read it an average of once every ten years. It has nothing to do with leap year.
I believe Kedoshim/Tazria are rarer. I’m not even sure if we ever read Haftaras Tazria.
FYI there is no such thing as Haftaras Va’yelech. If combined we do Netzavim, if separate, then it is Shabbos Shuva and we read Shuva.
1. Pinchas (Normally when Mattos and Ma’asei are together, Haftaras Ma’atos is read during Parshas Pinchas)
2. Miketz (Normally Miketz is pushed aside cause it is Shabbos Chanukah, but if the first day of Chanukah falls out on a Friday, Miketz is Motzei Chanukah, and its Haftara is read)
3. Hmm, I think it is either Tazriah or Kedoshim.
I’m not sure if there even is a Haftara for Tazria. In a regular year it is combined with Metzorah, and Haftaras Metzorah is read. In a leap year, Tazriah is Parshas Hachodesh.
Kedoshim, when combined with Achrei Mos, Haftaras Achrei Mos is read. When seperate, if Haftaras Achrei Mos isn’t said (Shabbos HaGadol), there are opinions which state that Parshas Kedoshim still gets Haftaras Achrei Mos.
OP,
I fail to see how any of those 4 show a “bias against males”?
If you feel that a “Right” of a woman automatically equals a bias against her husband, there is something seriously warped with your views.
Sha’arei Chesed is anything BUT reasonably priced

The 2nd one was after much editing, after pointing out the errors of my 1st draft.
I read your comment, you are 100% right, but that wasn’t the angle I was coming from. I tried to fix it by saying things such as…
However, I don’t get a vote as to what gets posted and what doesn’t, and those who vote have voted NO.
Despite your clarification, due to the sensitive nature of the issue, we will leave the topic out for now. Hope you understand.
Joseph is correct here (despite the usage of multiple names)
Any beis din which will issue a ruling to beat up a non-existent husband to get him to give a get in a non-existent marriage (as the beis din “allegedly” did in the sting), has some serious judgement issues.
The FDA allows companies not to list ingredients which make up less than 2% of the product.
Just because something is LESS than 2% WILL NOT MAKE IT BITUL B’SHISHIM.
Thus you cannot use the ingredients to prove that something is parve, it is very possible that the item is in fact milchigs.
@yaakov doe
That doesnt make sense on 2 levels.
First of all, it means the person flying fist class on this miles ticket won’t earn miles on their flight, as one does not earn miles on a rewards ticket. Few people willing to shell out for a 1st class ticket will do so without getting miles in return.
Secondly, and I am telling you this from 1st hand experience, should the flight get cancelled, the person who bought this ticket from the travel agent would basically lose their money. If you have a miles ticket and your flight gets cancelled, you get your miles back. You would not get back the money you gave your travel agent, unless the agent themselves gave it back to you.
But either way you’d be stuck without a ticket.
You ever learn that sometimes it is best to be quiet?
A poor mother comes here to ask for assistance, Your insensitive comments did NOTHING to assist her, nor does it have anything to do with anyone’s previous post.
It is also very likely ona’as dvarim/lashon hara considering the context
You want to rant, start a new thread, don’t hijack the one of a mother in pain.
Firstly I’d like to wish you and your family much hatzlacha with this. My heart goes out to all of you.
A few things:
1. Try to give as much warmth and love to your son as he goes through this. Try to instill an environment where he knows that he can be open with you, no matter how difficult the situation is.
There are many reasons why a frum victim might not name their abuser. Examples are (but not limited to) not wanting to get them into trouble, fear of revenge, fear of the backlash when he names the person, fear of speaking lashon hara, protecting the family.
Try to show your son that none of these are reasons to be quiet.
2. Get yourself some help. People often think that the child is the only victim. The parents also become victims. I can tell from your SN and your posts that this is unimaginably difficult for you. In the same way that you want to get your son assistance, get some for yourself.
Good Luck
1. There are Mitzius questions (e.g. Who was R’ Yehoshua Ben Korcha and when did he live? How old was Yitzchak at the tiem of the Akeida?) Which obviously have a right answer and wrong answers
2. We see from this rishonim themselves. Look at some of the Rashbams in Bava Basra and see how he refers to some counter opinions (e.g. HEVEL, etc)
3. NEVERTHELESS, we are not able to take sides. WE can’t say PLONI RISHON was wrong. We can observe from the nature of the machlokes that one is wrong and one is right, we can’t choose, and we should do our best to understand both sides and how they got to their opinion
Behind Gan Sacher (on the side closer to the Supreme Court) There is a small cemetery.
Buried in this cemetery is R’ Gedalia Moshe M’Zvil
There is a segula to daven there, on Monday, Thursday and the Following Monday. Say the tehillim, light a candle, give tzeddaka, and promise that if your request has come through, to publicize that one davened at the kever and was answered.
I strongly suggest, if in Yerushalayim these days, to go and daven there.
I have, on numerous occasions, been zoche to having my tfillos at the kever answered in the positive.
@OP
There is what the Ibn Ezra says and there is you application of his words.
The 2 are mutually exclusive.
For starters:
1. What does he mean when he says “most”? 51%?, 70%?, 99%?
2. What is this nature of this “rishus” he is talking about? You seem to imply that it means theft or shtick. Maybe it means missing out on mitzvos because he is too busy accumulating wealth? maybe it means his bein adam l’chaveiro is lacking cause he is too focused on his money?
3. Is he focusing on the wealthy yidden or goyim as well? (yes, I know goyim cant steal, but this would help us with question 1, namely the percentages)
When a Tzeddaka organization tells you about your past donations, kindly ask them for duplicate receipts of these donations, and you wont be able to donate until receiving these receipts
Joseph,
they did not ask to the extra day in shushan to “finish the job” there was no way they were going to finish the job,nor did they “finish the job”
R’ Y. Eiybushitz says that esther asked for the extra day to show the yidden that this was not teva. and that this was all due to HKBH. Teva would just turn Haman’s day into Esther’s day, the extra day shows HKBH calling the shots
R’ Brevda says that the extra day was done to disprove those who might say this was all in the mazalos, and that Haman got it wrong. The extra day shows that it wasn’t that Haman misread the stars, rather Hashem had a different plan
OP
No business speaking with the man, sounds like you’d have more success speaking with a brick wall.
The real question here is why on earth would someone give someone a teaching position merely as a chessed, when it is obvious that they are quite capable of destroying lives?
Doesn’t seem like it is a concern for the wives who attend the shiur, they aren’t coming for the torah. The bigger concern here is the yeshiva guys.
dunt u need 2 walk arund da wallz of da old sity 40 timez per dayy each and evury day b4 saying da sheera?
Ideas
1. How a real ba’al mussar is someone who can walk down the street, see something, and see the mussar in it.
1a. and no matter how strong the mussar, if someone doesnt want to listen, they wont
e.g. Rebbe Akiva was able to see the mussar in a rock which had a hole, yet Bilam didnt take the mussar when his donkey started to speak with him (and Bilaam decided to start arguing with the donkey)
2. How in Pirkei Avos it says that if we claim that our nissayon was too difficult, Yosef will argue that our nossyonos werent more difficult than his. Discuss his nissayon, use some of the midrashim
3. Just go through a piece of davening, in English, ask if we believe what it is which we are saying? Take the 1st part of Benching as an example. Do we really believe that Hashem provides? That Hashem never withholds? Do we act accordingly?
4. Mon. The Torah was only given to people who ate Mon. What was the nissayon of the Mon? That Klal yisroel went to sleep everyday without having the next day’s portion in their possession yet. Those who tried to save a piece, didn’t succeed in doing so.
5. End of Sefer Bamidbar, Where Reuven and Gad choose money over religion (Better place to graze cattle outside of Israel) How they werent protected, were the 1st into Galus and how they needed more arei miklat, proportionally, than the rest of geographical Israel.
Hope this is a good start.
Good Luck and let us know how you did
Malchus in general or the malchus of hashem/us treating hashem as king?
A person getting hit by a car is an emergency.
A missing child is an emergency
This is in no way shape or form an emergency
Hey Joseph,
I guess Avraham avinu didn’t give too much weight to this chazal when trying to get a Shidduch for his son yitzchak
Ask next year.
Megilla motzei Shabbos this year
Please share with us the names and sources of your so called majority opinions
I believe that just like you don’t blow shofar the day before rosh hashana, and you don’t eat matza from the 1st of Nissan until pesach, one should already refrain from wine
in the taam v’daas, from r’ moshe shternbuch. in this week’s parsha. he has two pieces on ?? ?????? ??? ?? ??? have a look at the 2nd of the two pieces
Nevermore 🙂
Nicely played Joseph, referencing a family member of mine whom u located and later tried to befriend on facebook under an alias.
You are really a Class Act, minus the C and the L
Thanks, always knew you were good for being able to share what type of respect a woman need or need not receive as the case may be.
You probably have enough info to write a book on it
