You know you’re not a yeshiva guy anymore when you see a lomdushe abbreviation (eidus shebatlah miktzaza, kim ley bederabba miney, etc) and you draw a blank.
I am usually makpid on chalav yisroel, but when there is no chalav stam I’ll drink it.
Spinal Tap’s Black Album was fiction, as was Nigel Tufnel’s special amp which was so loud it could be cranked to 11, and the drummer that spontaneously combusted during the performance. Metallica’s eponymous Black Album was fact.
The Rutles were a legend that will last a lunchtime. All you need is cash!
Ask your LOR.
Ben-Gurion was known to exclaim, better 1 neturei-kartanik in Yerushalayim than 10 Zionists in Chicago.
Rebbetzin David wrote much of the Pachad Yitzchok.
I was 12 when the double album came out… both the MBD double album and the Use Your Illusion double album… nothing lasts forever, daaga minayin?
I was 12 when the Dark Side of the Moon came out… the Wizard of Oz was never the same.
I once heard Rabbi Drillman Shlit”a say that Rav Hutner used to say about himself, The Alter built the ershte plotz (bottom floor) and Rav Kook built the tzveite plotz (top floor). Doesn’t sound like a repudiation. He didnt’ say hallel on yom ha’atzma’ut, but he was no NKnik. More like non-zionist than anti-zionist.
Sam2, the mesilas yesharim talks about excess conversations with women in shaar haprishus, He makes it clear that it may be technically mutar but it’s wrong. The mishna of al tarbeh sicha im isha is in avos, not seder nashim. The Rav ZT”L said similarly when someone asked him about women dancing on simchas torah- there’s nothing halachically wrong but it’s wrong anyway.
Being a mod means that you bear responsibility for the content of every post that makes it through. Are you ready for that level of responsibility?
Sam2, what are the big sugyos in Shabbos?
Reb Moshe ZT”L had Dibros Moshe throughout shas. He wasn’t limited by what his yeshiva did. If he was, he couldn’t have been the poseik that he was.
Slabodka’s influence has waned.
I was 12 when the Black album came out. After that, nothing else mattered.

[insert really lefty response here]

On the ball, I was thinking about this the other day and trying to rack my brains why Greece should be so important 2,000 years after its decline.
The sephardi meforshim say Greece and Rome are one and the same, and the 4th golus is the Yishmaeilim. this could be the final end of the 3rd golus, leaving the 4th to happen now.
I was 12 when the White Album came out. It was a seminal moment of my formative years.
The problem with Zionism is [insert lengthy screed stolen from frumteens mod here].
I beat Joseph to it!
This was also a major machlokes between Volozhin and Slabodka.
You find many more rishonim and achronim on nashim-nezikin than on moed. Clearly this is an old preference.
“Fargin” is the perfect Yiddish word. It expresses such an essential position of yahadus.
“Imagine” is about atheism “Above us only sky, no religion too”…”imagine no possessions”.
Thefrumguy, the mods have confirmed that there is an active stalker here. People need to be careful what info they release.
The book “In Their Shadow” vol. 1 mentions how someone spoke to the Chazon Ish about the yeshivos learning aliba dehilchesa instead of learning lomdus. The Chazon Ish turned it down, saying everyone must have a chance to become a gadol. The time for learning aliba dehilchesa is after one becomes a talmid chochom.
The Maharam Schiff at the end of Bava Metzia mentions that in his yeshiva they went from Bava metzia to kesubos. Nashim-Nezikin is where the lomdus is.
There is a famous cartoon where a bunch of wolves are shedding their sheep disguises and one of them says “For crying out loud! Isn’t anyone here a real sheep?!”
shusa deyenuka beshuka, oh de’abba oh de’ima.
Do you mean the Rutles?
Welcome back AYC! Your return really meant a lot to me.
The best chocolate is the one someone else is eating when you’re hungry.
There are perks to being on hatzalah.
Most good rabbonim recommend pre-marital counseling. It’s tough to go from “me” to “we”. The poison in any marriage is focus on the self. Mussar helps as well.
MBD said he doesn’t put out cd’s because thanks to pirating, there’s not much money in them. The money is all in concerts and weddings, and putting out singles is good enough for that. The album is dead.
Agreed 100%.
BMG’s say is done using a third-party organization that is not BMG. So they manage to have their say without affecting their non-profit status. Standard loophole. Many voters went against the vaad last time and voted for Christie instead of Corzine. history shows who was right.
Please see my new thread which, if implemented, will greatly reduce the accusations and greatly improve the trust of the cr.
One issue not being discussed- who is “guaranteeing” the thousands of dollars to be paid upfront? What controls are in place to make sure the money is safely in escrow and won’t be “borrowed” by an administrator who’s behind on his mortgage?
People like Rav Dessler, Rabbi AJ Twerski and Rabbi aryeh kaplan have mainstreamed much of chassidish thought already.
Itche-Srulik, was it Vaad harabbonim or Kupat Hair?
What is the frequency Kenneth?
