Well, if you have read the news page here you will have seen:

(Friday, December 2nd, 2011)

Strictly Orthodox Jews are being encouraged to take up kayaking, football and a range of fitness activities as part of a new scheme aimed at making the community healthier.

Charedi communities have set up sports groups and exercise sessions through the Maccabi GB Enable Project, which uses funding from Mayor of London Boris Johnson.

And the comment on it from thenagain which is hilarious…

They should create competitive sports tailored to the chareidi community. Some suggestions:

2) Shachris Mill- Teams of 10 compete to see which can complete shachris in the shortest possible time. Words dropped constitute demerit.

Can anyone in the coffeeroom add to these?

Cinderella started telling us her story but the problem is that she wasnt finished by midnight and she hasnt been seen since

BTW tzaddiq that limerick was really good. Why not post some on the limerick thread http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/limericks

Lovely day? Yes not bad actually. The largest public strike in a generation has affected some of us with most schools closed (many Jewish schools were open but some were closed depending on teachers belonging to unions etc) so lots and lots of people were forced to take the day off work to look after their kids. City centres and recreation sites were packed. Rubbish bins were not collected and all council (local government) jobs were not carried out. Non emergency medical operations and facilities were badly affected with ambulances in some areas of the country only responding to life threatening situations. But the forecasted 12 hour wait at immigration was a fallacy with queues moving normally. Courts and tax offices were shut. But Yeshiva World was functioning normally BH.

You apparently did not try my tip to you in the second half of my post. Try it and give me feedback here. It works every time. But make sure you spell exactly as they appear in the titles so look out for misspellings!

Goq I dont believe it! Only one year? Happy Cranniversary to you! Feels as if you’ve always been one of the family. We look forward to sharing many many more cranniversaries with you!

There was once a land

not far from my PC

where everyone was

as happy as could be

until one sad day

something did change ‘er

when posters were warned

of a horrible new danger

there were people out there

as sweet as a doll

who were really – whats that word

oh yes its a troll

they seemed so fantastic

and a very good talker

but really in fact

they were being a stalker

it was mainly one person

doing it all the time

so wait till they find him

he’ll pay for his crime

but the damage has been done

and the cr is wilty

and the best poster here

was accused of being guilty

he is a real mentsh

of this we all know

with his middos shining thru

wherever he did go

but there was a time

that he stood accused

of the crime of being too nice

and with Joseph he was fused

to protect us all

the mod was being cautious

but the end result

left us all nautious

Aries I’ve been a lurker here for a while and enjoy your comments usually but your post which implied that most yeshiva boys are molested was most out of order to say the least. I was in the yeshiva world until my Chasuna and beyond but never saw, experienced or was aware of any such abuse. And nor are any of my friends who between us were in many yeshivos! Be careful what you say and write, especially in public.

Chana your OP was very well written. Well done. But while most people would not ignore a crime committed before their eyes, the more subtle knowledge that something is going on that should not be that you have not witnessed yourself is very different and is what seems to have happened in these many but individual alleged cases.

BH there’s loads of words. Here are some. I’ll begin with 3 letter words and go up to 7. Cot hot rock sock hock hoot horse noose notes roots hooter scooter

I’m winning hands down with my list above. Nobody has managed to translate a single word into american yet. Are there really no words there that you recognise/recognize? Have a go. First person to get most words can have tea with me in china cup and tea set (which, for the teenagers out there, means not cups made IN China but cups made OF China. Comprendez?)

The problem is that the Americans do not speak English well. Who can provide the meaning for the following words? I bet you cant get all correct…

abseil aubergine barrister bedsit buggy bespoke biscuit bonnet candy-floss caravan courgette estate-car ex-directory fly-over fortnight full-stop greengrocer hob hoover handbrake ice-lolly icing-sugar jumper kitchen-roll lodger lollipop-man lorry motorway nappy number-plate overdraught petrol plaster plimsoles postcode rubber rubbish rucksack sellotape serviette spanner sweets trainers marrow verruca whinge windscreen bumper zed

do not knock the place. Some of us actually live here!

lol 🙂

Jothar I appreciate that you are well intentioned but please demonstrate how you have been proven correct other than the fact that one moderator has temporarily suspended ayc’s account pending his reply to an email from YWN. I also do not recall a single post from ayc where he is attempting to pry information from posters. So please provide links to some of these posts. Thank you

An amazing davening thought from rav yitzchok reuvein rubin of manchester, uk

Sometimes things get in the way and we find davening difficult. To understand how this works, picture the akeida. Avrohom Avinu had risen to the highest level of closeness to Hashem. At the ultimate moment, Hashem stayed his hand. Avraham was so enthusiastic he looked around anxiously for some kind of sacrifice to offer. Out of nowhere appeared a ram. But this substitute had one drawback: it was entangled in the thicket by its horns.

Avraham worked on freeing it from the thorns and only then did he sacrifice it. The Torah is telling us something very special here. What emanates from the head of a ram? Its horns. What emanates from our heads? Our thoughts.

Just as the entangled horns of the ram kept it from becoming a sacrifice, so too our thoughts can get entangled in thorns of self illusion or brambles of anger, keeping us from coming closer to our Heavenly source. And like Avraham Avinu, we must get up and untangle. There is always the need to work at clearing the way for our next step.

When the great anav Rav Yehuda Zev Segal zatzal, the Manchester Rosh Yeshiva, gave out his brachos, he said “Al tihye birchas hedyot kal b’enecha – even though I am a hedyot, my bracha should not be insignificant in your eyes because every bracha is very powerful, even from someone who is a pashuter hedyot like me”!!

I know some married men who dont wear a kittel on yom kippur or seder night. Usually ashkenaz wear for both rosh hashana and yom kippur and sefard wear only yom kippur. Most ppl wear seder night. And talking of seder night or pesach, come on guys there’s no end of ‘strange’ minhagim that people do. Anybody know of any? Eg keeping some bread in the freezer over pesach?

Please please take the time NOW to say a kapital tehillim or two for a tremendous Talmid Chacham who learns constantly day and night, diagnosed with liver cancer who’s in a critical condition. Have rachmanus on a true Torah yid who baderech hatevah has only a short time left on this world, and learn or say tehillim for

ALTER YEHUDA MORDECHAI SHIMON BEN MALKA.

Thank You.

This policy has held and is holding. Several local councils have put on record that they will evict the entire family of every rioter convicted in spite of the fact that the other family members will suffer. So why is it one rule for the UK and another for Israel? If the UK can do this, what gave everyone the right to criticise Israel for doing the same when of course terrorists are far, far worse than looters? Total hypocricy!

There are already gps bracelets and watches etc specifically designed as a tracking safety device where parents can know instantly on their cell phones where their child is. It even alerts them if the device is removed. Do a google search to find out more.

On the main issue of safe stores or homes, it would work amazingly if they all had cctv cameras that were either networked or internet linked. Then the issue of can we trust this guy to run a safe place is sorted because they cant hide the fact that a particular person or child entered the store. And faces can be picked out by computer in seconds. In the UK, police cameras pick out faces of known trouble makers in seconds amongst crowds of 85,000 at soccer matches.

Something tells me that english gold blend (that probably refers to the number 1 gold blend coffee in england which is nescafe gold blend – which incidentaly is swiss) is a gateshead resident. Why else would he have the misguided view that gateshead is the largest growing kehilla in europe? Nothing can compare with yerushalayim karta d’shufraya, and anyway the fastest growing kehilla in europe is manchester, as it has been for the past 20 years. Everyone wants to live there besides Carlos Tevez… Unless you mean proportionally because every time another ten families move in it doubles in size??? Anyway if you want to discuss english issues, wait 20 years until the first frum british site opens. Ywn is predominantly for Big Apple news.

9 new threads per month? That’s a lot. Unless you’re spinning us a yarn! So the man of mystery is the new watermelon!?!? Are the threads spaced out? See, even if I dont post often, I’m still in the rade!

Tremendous mazeltov to the Nussbaums of Manchester, England, who just had a baby girl, their first child after 27 years of marriage!! What a simcha! May Hashem answer everyone’s tefillos letovah!
