UJM– 🙂 i agree with you, fish juice is the best
NY pizza tends to be the best, the old McDaniels pizza on Kings Highway in Brooklyn was amazing….
YWN, take down the debasing headline about EY looking like Baltimore!! I know its outside of the Daled Amos of NYC , since you dont know much about the town, please keep your rhetoric to yourself
Takes2totango– HOW DARE YOU?? Who do you think you are making a claim like that which is preposterous! HaRav Avigdor Miller Zt”l was one of the greatest tzaddikim of our generation and an anav and temimusdiga person and everything he exuded was of that nature. There are always followers of anybody who may not be an image of who they are following, but for the overwhelming majority of Talmidim of HaRav Miller Ztl they are very much like HaRav Miller Ztl was (and I Davened in his Shul for 15 years)
Because its a ridiculous law! I know a story of an American man who got imprisoned in EY bc his wife kvetched to the Israeli courts when he happened to be in EY, and he is a decent guy who is just trying to get visitation with his kids..Its a foolish law bc alot of the time it isnt warranted
don peppinos is terrible
Jimmy “beepbbeepbeep” Carter as bob grant used to say
John Bolton
It just doesn’t make any sense that Trump is considering Romney. Trump has said in the past that loyalty is very important to him. How could he give the job to a guy who trashed him in the worst way for a long time..its ridiculous!
RebYidd23 —-how do you know that women didn’t photoshop it?
Its a mussar haskil, the Cubs won their fist world series in 108 years!, their fans were waiting and waiting and are so happy now..BUT in a few days it wears off and its old news and doesnt give a person any real satisfaction, unlike Torah and Mitzvos and serving Hashem which does last and give real satisfaction
Wealth does not equate to happiness HOWEVER if a person is struggling and cannot make ends meet and this causes distress for him and for his family on a regular basis, then YES money can buy the happiness he needs, but it does not automatically eliminate regular problems
all I know is, if Rav Moshe was ok with Cholov Stam in certain situations then I am.period.

Trump. Cruz and Rubio just seem too much like politicians, and while he is a huuuuuge baal Gaavah, for a Presidential candidate that is a good thing
all of the above:)
Dash—thats not true in the Jewish religious book market. There are completely different metrics than the mass used book market
try jewishusedbooks.com they buy and sell jewish books
Uber and Lyft are amazing! I know in Brooklyn regular car services are plentiful and the wait usually isnt long, But out of town a regular taxi can take forever to come, and with Uber or Lyft is is usually no more than 5 minutes and the same price or cheaper, PLUS alot of times you can get a coupons for FREE rides for referring someome etc.. I just got Ten $5 credits on Lyft..All in all its a great service
In Baltimore here, almost everyone puts chairs out..In my opinion, if you spend hours of backbreaking work digging out you have a right to put a chair there..at least for a few days or so.
When I moved to Baltimore from NY I never knew of that concept,however in NY people would prob just move your chair and take the spot, and I dont blame them since parking is hard to find in NY
zahavasdad — Curious, what kind of trade shows? do you buy wholesale there?
Oh please..Trump is a good guy.He, along with millions of others are sick and tired of the direction of this country and the bought and paid for politicians who dont change anything. He has the guts and strenth to actually to something positive no matter what his opponents say. Is he a little over the top? yes. Is he a big shot/baal gaavah? def yes. But that is really irrelavent for a presidential candidate
I remember pre-artscroll…love the Tikun Meir (nothing against artscroll at all,their items are great)
If you dont like Gefilte Fish, you should really check your yichus..:)
popa- you are allowed to lie for Sholom, but not if it is a situation where you dont HAVE to do that specific thing. In this case he doesnt have to drive her.
Huh? did you change the title? this is whole other issue..
I think it is wrong, especially since your wife doesnt like the idea. Im assuming she doesnt like the idea because the woman is in your age group and it would constantly make her feel uncomfortable. Bottom line: Sholom Bayis comes first.
I remember walking in Brooklyn that morning at around 9am and it was eerily quiet except for the endless sound of sirens far in the backround..Shortly after,not knowing what happened yet, I went into Moti’s on 16th ave to get breakfast and about 20 people were crowded around the counter looking at the news of the towers on fire..a few minutes after the towers collapsed there were tens of thousands of pieces of paper flying sidesways through the street and you could actually read the words on some of them (these were papers from offices in the towers)..Plus looking down ocean parkway towards the city was a plume of smoke for days after..Unreal day
Moms Knishes were amazing!!!…mashiach agent- I dont think there are any kosher places in Richmond, maybe in Norfolk but its far. Or stop in Silver Spring or Rockville
147, you answered me: “justsmile613:- Even I know that Israel is just about the safest place on earth, and in Israel I have no problem letting my very young children go out alone and on public transportation, and even very late at nite. …. No way in Baltimore.”
Dont know what bad exp you had in Baltimore, and Im sorry you did. But it is an incredible,close,amazing Frum community with EVERYTHING you need for a frum life and while some parts are not the safest in the world,in general it is comparable to other US communities. The reason Baltimore gets such a bad name somethimes is because of west baltimore. But no frum person lives anywhere near there. In NY you have inwood,harlem, In NJ you have Newark. In Cleveland there are bad neighborhoods etc, but dont misguide other people who dont know anything about Baltimore. I grew up in NY and when I moved here didnt know much about Balt,but learned quickly what a special community it is.
..Just to second something in “workingmom”‘s amazing post – Baltimore’s gashmiyus level is WAY WAY below the typical frum place, and not because people dont have. There are many wealthy people in Bal,t but they choose not to flaunt it.
“Any Jew who hasn’t already evacuated Baltimore is being Mevatel a Mitzvah Asseh de’Oraisso of “veNishmartem Me’od leNafshosechem” each & every second that s/he is remaining in Baltimore”
147—-total shtus and Loshon Hara! You obviously dont know anything about Baltimore. When outsiders look at Israel and see things going on they are frightened to go but in reality it is fine–Baltimore is B”h relativly safe. Bottom line is, we are in Golus.
I also challenge you to find a more cohesive community than Baltimore frum community, the achdus here B”h is incredible,not to mention chesed and everything else you need,plus much BETTER quality of life than alot of other places..As far as the carpool issue you mentioned, I will take that over ny traffic anyday.
vochindik–I live “in town”=passaic:)…..btw, just for the privilege of being able to make a right turn on red in NJ is worth living out of NYC. period. Whenever I am driving in nyc, my nerves get frayed from waiting for all those lights, it is really less stressful living out-of-town because of that in general (i lived in brooklyn for many years also)
yentingyenta—-you way, way off. I live in Passiac…There are MANY houses available for between $200k-$350k, 400-500 are around too but that was the bottom price 5-7 years ago. The property taxes one issue though, they are avg bet $6k-$11K/yr.
