mentsch1- Do you have semicha? Did we appoint you as our rav?
MRS PLONY- Yes, only one teaspoon. Just enough to color the milk. That’s what the recommended serving is if I remember correctly.
Since a recipe must have at least two steps (in my opinion) here’s the easiest I can think of:
Chocolate Milk
Ingredients:
1 tsp. Chocolate flavored syrup
7 fl. oz. Milk
Directions:
Pour both ingredients in glass. Stir and enjoy!
Actually, it’s quite easy when clicking in from the “freshness” column.
I recently got two gifts that were given to someone to give to me a long time ago, and the messenger forgot about them until she found them while pesach cleaning and delivered them. I don’t have any of these people’s phone numbers or addresses, but I’d love to say thanks. It’s a shame they didn’t include a card with their gift, I really would love to thank them.
I was referring to a kallah watch.
The minhag of giving a bracelet upon engagement is very old. It is certainly much older than the “minhag” of a diamond ring. The watch is unnecessary, but a bracelet should be given.
gavra- I was referring to people who live in small apartments, not in 16 foot semi-attached homes. A small apartment simply cannot hold more than the couples immediate family and one or two friends. It is precisely the poor people that truly need the halls.
Next thing you will tell me is that Shiva “at home is not always feasible depending on setup, timing etc”
Ummm…. gavra, shiva sometimes is held in another persons home due to various reasons. Among my friends, most did a lchaim/vort combo. Most of the friends who did this in a hall did so because they cannot afford a home large enough to host more than a handful of people at a time. The kallah’s friends would have to arange taking turns coming to say mazal tov. I think al tadin es chavercho is very much applicable here.
a mamin- they wish to be pregnant, or do they wish to be parents and pregnancy is a step on the way? For people who have lost one or more pregnancies, it’s nine long, stressful months.
DaMoshe- it looks like your research was done only from the Zionist perspective. While the Satmar rebbe did not want to cooperate with the Zionists on coordinating rescues on his people, he did work really hard to save their lives. He encouraged his followers to go into hiding or get visas to America. He felt that working with the Zionists would be causing many of his followers to lose their religion altogether. It is preferable to die than to lose Olam Haba, is it not? Don’t forget that the Satmar Rebbe himself went to Bergen Belsen. He didn’t exactly take the first flight to the US when trouble came along. Read what Dr. Ferenz Kennedy says about his time in Bergen Belsen with the Rebbe. You don’t have to agree with him, but try to open your mind a little to another perspective.
Are you sure your oven is fully preheated when you’re putting the cookies/cakes in? Also, if you use disposable baking pans it might take a bit longer. They don’t conduct heat as well as the reusable type.
I don’t know whether it’s true or not, but in order to collect the entire collection you would have to spend about $100. The doll isn’t worth more than maximum $20.
cherrybim- for me the message in pesach hotels, being as I can’t afford it myself, is that some people have more money than me. Since they can afford it, why should they not go? If I feel jealous, maybe I need to work on myself a little. Or maybe I should get a job to earn the money to go myself.

Israel is a strong and successful country, with a great economy, a resilient, well-educated and increasingly religious population, and a bright future.
A great economy? Seriously? And that’s why so many people are seeking jobs or better pay… People with college degrees can get as little as $10 an hour. People with high school diplomas can get more here.
I’ll admit it- you got me curious enough to google it. I love Wayside School! It exists to the same degree as the 13th floor in other buildings.
Thank you Gamanit, for giving a living example of why we try to be careful what references are allowed through! π
L’maaseh there will be people smoking on pesach/chol hamoed. Do you want them being over on two aveiros, or rather only one?
Sam2- Traffic is a new danger. Fires are not. While we should be doing everything to preserve life, not doing something is not the same as doing the opposite.
I don’t think anyone here is saying that a smoke detector is not a lifesaving device. There is however a big difference between not having a smoke detector and starting the fire yourself. People here seem to be having a hard time distinguishing that. If it reaches a point where AED’s become inexpensive, will it be endangering yourself not to carry one around with you?
How is faulty wiring negligence? On part of the company, certainly. But on my part, how would I know? I once had a lamp that burst into flames randomly while I was using it. B”H nothing else caught. We had firefighters come down just to make sure there’s nothing wrong with the wiring of the house or outlet. They determined it was a wiring mistake of the lamp itself. We had that lamp for years and it was always fine. We need chasdei Hashem every minute of every day that we’re alive.
DaMoshe- if you were to be getting your brother’s credit card bill, would you keep it between you and your brother? Or would you notify the credit card company that you and your brother, while related, are not the same person?
Anyone here is always on the best of terms with their siblings? Siblings can fight sometimes, but it doesn’t mean they don’t care about each other.
stam a deya- Do you know what qualifies as a vaccine injury? If my parents would be the litigating type they could have sued for my “vaccine injury” as a child. While the doctor was giving me an injection, I strongly pulled my arm away. The needle ended up cutting my arm a bit and it was bleeding. There you go- vaccine injury.
You left out the most popular one- chicken soup.
So I finally came up with a theory about Quirrel and the references to his teaching in the past. Hogwarts is not the only school in England… it’s possible that Quirrel taught defense against the dark arts somewhere else.
Honestly- about 1mm.
Is there a vaccine for the plague?
There is a vaccine to protect people who are at high risk of exposure to the disease, such as military personnel under certain operational circumstances, or animal handlers in plague endemic areas. The vaccine requires multiple doses, frequent booster shots are needed and it can have significant side effects. The vaccine is not available for general public use.
When I was a working teen, my parents paid for all my needs. My wants I had to pay out of my own pocket. This included any extra clothing, cd player, camp, etc. I ended up buying most clothing myself.
Is this like by the Bronx Zoo where you can bring back the cup next time? If so, go ahead.
I know I was always taught that kids dress up as what they really want to be, but now that I’m older I don’t really buy that anymore. When I was little I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. Why did I never dress up as one? I thought it would be a boring costume. I wanted to wear something different.
cozimjewish- Google what color is the dress. It never looked anything other than black and royal blue to me… which is odd because it seems that most people saw it as white and gold. I think it has to do with what percentage of the day you spend in well lighted areas. People who spend more time in the dark have probably adjusted to add more light to everything they see. I spend enough time in well lit areas to automatically take away some light from everything…
Do red velvet cupcakes and vanilla cupcakes count as two different minim?
As I’m a woman, I’m not familiar with the gemarah. However, I don’t see how it’s possible for a woman’s chiyuv not to be d’oyraysa. The mitzvah of birchas hamazon is not a shehazman grama. It’s when you eat a meal, whenever that may be. The busha I can think of for a man to me yotzei by a woman is simple. Since birchas hamazon is mentioned straight out in the torah it’s a busha that he wouldn’t know it. He has a chiyuv of limud torah while a woman does not.
Yes. An author can name a character as he/she pleases, but a parent has to pay attention to what the child would want.
Agree with RebYidd23. Do an old-fashioned basket.

DaasYochid- While inappropriate movies are clearly wrong, movies with clean content are simply not appropriate for people truly focused on being frum. If we someone who does not fit in to our community we should start paying them some more attention. If we can’t find them a place in our community, we should try to help them find a place in another shomer shabbos community. There’s no need for them to lose their yiddishkeit completely.
They aren’t pushing for changes in the program for this school year. They’re requesting changes in the program written for the upcoming school year. As of next year they will be excluded if the program stays as is.

inquiring mind- yes. It’s not like a dish with nonkosher ingredients. It’s a fish, which according to the torah needs fins and scales to be kosher.
Kind of like what oomis said – Does the resultant salmon have fins and scales? The torah gave us that to tell us whether a fish is kosher or not. That’s all we need.
be good- while you may find it funny, for the op this is a difficult situation. While I don’t have my own car, if someone tells me his car is currently out of commission it isn’t funny. True, he can take the bus or train like all other car-less individuals, but that’s not what he’s used to. The op also didn’t mention for how long her husband will be away- it might be more of in the range of two weeks.
Did your enemy ask for forgiveness, or did you just decide on your own to forgive? I’m also trying to imagine what would have to take place for me to consider a fellow jew an enemy…
I don’t think the freezer is affecting the shidduch crisis for one very simple reason. The boys coming out of the freezer now will be dating at the youngest girls who left seminary approximately seven months ago. If they would begin dating six months ago they would be dating the exact same girls. If they get engaged shortly after leaving the freezer it doesn’t affect the age gap at all. Only if it takes them five months they can begin dating the girls that are currently in seminary.
apushateyid- that milk would be cholov akum, not chalav stam. There’s a big difference between the two.
It depends on the animal. A lazy cat usually doesn’t mind being dressed, but a more active one can be very irritated. If the animal is in pain then it’s assur.
That wouldn’t be polite. Come and watch all cars for a day you’re sure to see at least one.
