commonsense

oneofmany, black coffee does not require milk so someone who drinks black coffee could use an empty milk container for their coffee… really not worth the explanation.

I’m pretty sure they expect you to do so.

I know for a fact that the Ginsberg’s do not allow cartoon characters based on non kosher animals into their house be it in book on clothing etc. it is very probable that they do not know who Mickey Mouse is. I do not think the children have an idea that there is such a place such as disney land.

watch the sales. I got a new laptop by staples last year for about $350 with 4gb ram and either 320 or 500 gb hard drive, you can get more now for about the same money or a drop less for even less money and they are brand new not refurb.(all brand names)

I didn’t know him well but have seen him around since he was in his low teens. I am incredibly sad at his petirah. I truly think there is so much we can learn from him. He did not have much in his life in any way that most of us count, yet he never seemed unhappy or angry. He seemed to be a true mekabel that Hashem chooses our lots in life and he just carried on making the best of what he could. I am sure that he lived his life’s tafkid to the fullest and that his makom in Gan Eden is right next to the Kisei Hakovod. Yehi Zichro Baruch.

hey,it makes sense. we are taught “Hadoros holchos u’mismatos”. so it would stand to reason that each generation is somewhat less than the one before.

To me hearing all the opinions and comments even the many I disagree with is, an eye opener to the fact that Hashem made us all different and that not everyone thinks like I do. It helps me remember this and keep my mouth closed when I am dealing with people in real life.

they sell omega 3 in liquid form for and I believe chewables for kids, just check the dosage and adjust for adults. you can get small prenatal and iron pills that are easier to swallow.

there are many very large nice homes in Monsey that you can rent out.

google sasson vsimcha matchmaker list, it is a a list of shadchanim with details of the clientele they have

try Chaim Berlin, the food there is the best! otherwise you have Az Yashir, Kamenitz, Mercaz Hasimcha and I am sure there are many more.

Wow!!!!! This should be posted in every shul and yeshiva!

they are just starting interviews in the NY area.

whatisleft, they haven’t even had their interviews yet, so for a while.

why dafka a bors? There are many nice cheaper hats available.

When everyone gets so bothered by what everyone else does when posting. You all have the power to close any thread you don’t like and not read it or participate in it. Stop getting so bothered about stupidities.

When posters get so caught up in the minutiae of other posts. So what if every word is not typed perfectly. We are all typing fast and some of us are not perfect typists and will make typos or have grammatical errors. If you can understand what the poster is saying, good enough! This is not an English class, it’s an informal forum and posters shouldn’t have to worry about the technical correctness of their posts.

if you’re voting for hamantaschen, you just haven’t had good latkes. when you’ve had good latkes you will know that there is no comparison. a hamantasch is just a cookie, a latke is wow!

first of all, no is complaining about the video or the song they are complaining that these boys were performing them on television. This song is geared to a religious audience because YBC sell pretty exclusively to the frum world and usually does not try to market to the outside world.

Personally I highly agree with all those who think it was inappropriate to have these yiddeshe neshomalach perform on live TV.

Sam2, kosher food might not be a huge problem but how about a minyan? and if he has kids, other jews to be around for positive influences. there is much more to where you live than just the availability of kosher food.

on 16th and 41st there is the Living Torah museum, otherwise not much to see except shopping. If you are male you can go into one of the many yeshivos in the area and learn if you are so inclined.

to all those who are responding as if $150K is a lot of money, think again. I am sure he means 150K on the books which comes out to about 90K after taxes. that’s the amount he actually has to spend. now figure about 24K on mortgage. 15K on tuition he is already down to 50K to live on. believe it or not that is not so much money. every expense has gone up. gas, electricity, insurance, water, food, clothing, phone etc.. it adds up very quickly. realize that trim cannot get any gov’t help such as heap and never gets a break in the frum world because he makes “so much” money. If trim would come to your simcha and give a very minimal gift you would think he is being cheap because he has a “good parnasa” every mossad that he or his wife have had or have an affiliation with expect support because they make “so much” money. At the end of the day they are left with very little. People who don’t make very much but get every program and also help and breaks from within the frum community actually seem to have it easier.

zahavasdad, i know why the day is termed black friday and do not consider shopping a non jewish activity. the reason the stores go into the black on that specific day every year is because that is traditionally the day to start holiday shopping. most stores have the holiday music and decorations and sometimes workers in costume during the black friday shopping.

YW-Band toys r us has 1 for $130 with a $30 gift card. also there is a $10 gift card with $75 purchase that might apply as well. this is not on black friday, it is now until Wed.

Zahavasdad, Black friday is traditionally the day to start shopping for the big gift holiday which is why black friday is not exactly a jewish concept. While i see no problem with us taking advantage of the great sales, I don’t think it’s so appropriate for jewish stores to call their sales black friday sales.
