Most schizophrenic poster: Joseph
Great one Shticky Guy 🙂 ROTF
Yochie; the missing words are melech chadash. A true melech chadash wouldnt know Yosef. But of course he would know Yosef if he wasnt really new just old but with a new user name…
Cos nothing on earth is certain (besides death and taxes). So everything is only KEN ZAYN. Only h.shem knows for sure. A mentch tracht in der ribono shel olam lacht. Only He knows.
You think this is a bit over the top? Ken zayn!
Dont bring the chazon ish or even the steipler into this. Questions like these are time-sensitive & should be asked of gedolim of our generation. But it certainly makes sense not to l’chatchila look for a girl/guy who is so much younger/older for many reasons, some of which are mentioned above eg maturity gap, shiduch crisis etc.
It doesnt suprise me that many bachurim dont see the problem here at all.
However, if in the individual circumstances someone knows both parties and feels that is a passendig shiduch, then to say they shouldnt ‘red’ it at all and should forget it completely just because of the age gap is also wrong.
I think not using stuff made in Germany during the war is a good moral issue. But not to use ANYTHING made during the war years? I dont think so. Anyways it would be esp hard for me. It would mean i cant enjoy my mother…??? ;-(
Halacha pesuka: ANY part of a woman’s body that attracts attention and a man looks at for pleasure is considered an erva and ossur, ‘afillu etzba k’tanah’ . And this includes even finger nails and definitely toe nails!
My current most heartfelt song without a doubt:
Chazek kiryasi… Shabbos hayom laHashem from Gertner’s album Asay Asay! Someone sent me a youtube of him singing it at a chupa to the words of mi bon siach. Phenomenal and hartzig indeed!
A wonderful sight met my eyes
It was a fantastic suprise
Its been so quiet for a while
But limericks are now back in style
And the best ones for sure are Shticky Guy’s
To his poetry i was humming
And couldnt stop my feet drumming
You have a great gift
So dont cut us adrift
Shticky Guy please keep them coming!
Shticky Guy: It can be argued that the guy in your story should be called a ‘Liggener’!!
A young boy was sitting at the family computer, typing fiercely. His mother asked “What are you doing?” He replied that he was writing a story. “What’s it about?” she asked.
“I don’t know,” he replied. “I can’t read yet.” 😉
Thought I’ll revive this old thread litoeles harabim
Charliehall: Regarding staying indoors, B”H Jews aren’t systematically murdered on Christian holidays any more. I don’t think any shul anywhere in the world has cancelled Shabat services this year based on the custom you mention.
We never stop any minhag or derech just because the times change. We still for example keep 2 days yomtov in chutz la’aretz when there’s no s’feika d’yoma anymore
AC: He wasn’t hanged, he was crucified. Wouldn’t that be ‘Skilah’?
Firstly he was ‘hung’ on the cross as the poster above also says. Secondly, after this he was actually hung from a tree. When some yiden tried to take his body down that night so not to leave a Jew hanging overnight (lo solin nivlaso ad boker?), they were seen and suspected of hanging him. This is why the goyim say we killed him when it was in fact the Romans
Aishes chayil you’re too knowledgeable to be an aishes chayil. Methinks you’re more of a gavra rabba.
TEST: lets see if i understood how bold works
And blockquote: according to the clock in which room of your house do you bring in shabbos?
mod 80 pls answer. Git voch!
</What does the word nittel mean?>
Nittel comes from the word nitleh, the hung one, from toleh.
When was he killed? The gemora sanhedrin says 1st day pesach (though all drawings of ‘The Last Supper’ show large round matzos -a big kushya!) The goyim say that he was born on 25 Dec. Seforim write that actually he was a mamzer as we know, and therefore his birth was obviously kept secret so nobody knows the date of his birth. However they chose 8 days before their new year to say he was born on 25 Dec. so that his bris would have been on new year day so they celebrate both days when he would have had a simcha.
Thanx a lot, Mod 80. Have a very merry shabbos. Ps according to the clock in which room of your house do you bring in shabbos???
The Manchester Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Yehuda Zev Segal ztv”l, used to say every year that he would personally take upon himself any gehinom that anyone gets as a result of learning on nittel nacht!!
You’re 100% correct. Its better to ‘show your white teeth’ by smiling and making them a feel a mentch. Most ppl have maaser money anyways and are only gonna give a small amount so whats the big deal. Smile and give it. The guy probably prefers a smaller amount given where he feels treated with sympathy that a larger donation where he’s belittled or embarrassed in the process. The problem is that a tiny minority of meshulachim do give the others a bad name. One was once collecting for his child’s chassuna and i gave him an appropriate amount which he wasnt happy with. He began shouting at me ‘I have 9 other kids at home. Do you know what that means?’ This annoyed me so i said back ‘yeah it means you’re gonna be back another 9 times…’
Moderator 80
You get people who are only too happy to correct your TYPO errors!
…but we are moderators nor softwear engineers…
Dont give up your learning… 🙂
ps how do i put a quote in bold and indent it to the right with a nice grey line down the left? This would be a pull for me to the cr.
Mod 80: Can you arrange for spellchecker on ywn posts to facillitate the accurate spelling that you are requesting.
And while i’m asking, can you also arrange to show the number of people who visit a thread (hits) even if they dont post anything. It would be a very useful addition and would certainly add to the pull of the coffee room!!!
Finally, how do I change the word ‘member’ under my user name?
I find this astonishing. What rav was this and what is the mekor for the secular new year that you referred to?
Yes at this thread I often peep
And enjoy the limericks quite deep
But although I do delve
I wont write in myself
I’m scared I’ll end up in a heap!

Inheritance:
A man went to his lawyer and stated, “I would like to make a will but I don’t know exactly how to go about it.”
The lawyer said, “No problem, dont worry about it. Just leave it all to me.”
The man looked somewhat upset and said, “Well, I knew you were going to take the biggest slice, but I’d like to leave a little to my children, too!”
If religion means nothing to you then why shouldnt rachel cohen go out with john doe? It happens the whole time. Look at today’s news…Lauren Bush is engaged to David Lauren, the son of famous Jewish fashion designer Ralph Lauren, and Chelsea Clinton recently married Jewish investment banker Marc Mezvinsky. Its (unfortunately) not a big deal
Chofetz Chaim
what 2 nights a year do we wear a tallis by maariv?
How about Kol Nidrei Night and Motzei Yom Kippur
I dont mind to be the first to admit that I couldnt translate some of those words! I’m actually quite shocked aswell. Its back to school for me!!!
Not as well informed as WIY:
You are correct. Each act of tzedoko is a mitzvah, and as you brought the quote, its better to give $1 to a hundred people than $100 to one.
This is brought in several seforim.
So, WolfishMusings, subject closed me thinks!

Its a bit harsh to call the father names like that after he must have been up all night in hospital thru labor and the birth of his child, baby only born at 6.00am, he couldnt have left hospital for a while after that, and then having to walk from the hospital to shul which could have taken an hour or 2, most probably got to shul late and didnt have a second to check the name properly!
#1 Shticky Guy
Its a great story! Thank you. Any more…?
What I do is to always hold something in my right hand when coming to a meeting eg papers or a bag etc. Then just say firmly and politely that for religious reasons you may not shake hands with people of the opposite gender. It has always worked for me and you know what – ppl respect you for it!!! They know you will not compromise on your standards. Hatzlocho!!
Nice ones shticky!
Here’s a few more…
1. “My husband and I divorced over religious differences. He thought he was G-d and I didn’t.”
2. Two men met at a bus stop and struck up a conversation.
One of them kept complaining of family problems.
Finally, the other man said: “You think you have family problems? Listen to my situation:
“A few years ago I met a young widow with a grown-up daughter.
We got married and I got myself a stepdaughter.
Later, my father married my stepdaughter.
That made my stepdaughter, my step-mother.
And my father became my stepson.
Also, my wife became mother-in-law of her father-in-law.
Much later, the daughter of my wife, my stepmother, had a son.
This boy was my half-brother because he was my father’s son.
But he was also the son of my wife’s daughter which made him my wife’s grandson.
That made me the grandfather of my half-brother.
This was nothing until my wife and I had a son.
Now the half-sister of my son, my stepmother, is also the grandmother.
This makes my father, the brother-in-law of my child, whose stepsister is my father’s wife, I am my stepmother’s brother-in-law, my wife is her own child’s aunt, my son is my father’s nephew and I am my OWN GRANDFATHER!”
“and you think YOU have family problems!!!”

A woman called her mother complaining that her husband was being horrible to her again.
“I’ve had enough Mum” she said. “I wanna come back and move into you for a week to teach him a lesson”.
“Dont be silly” said her mother. “If you want to teach him a lesson, why not have me move in with you for a week!!!”
