In Boro Park I’ve seen women wearing shpitzlach and driving. I don’t think there are any in KJ, but maybe there are.
Source is there. Source #60, the original report of the story.
It’s possible that the officers that were leaning on his back (thereby compressing his chest) were more responsible for his death. No grand jury was asked that question. Only the officer that did the “chokehold” was brought before a grand jury.
It’s on the wikipedia page. True, popa may have written it but it sounds right.
One very significant thing edited out of the video is the radio call for EMS. Police placed Garner in recovery position and watched to see him continue breathing until the ambulance arrived. When EMTs came he was still breathing. He died of a heart attack en route to the hospital- possibly from the stress of the situation. Whatever the case is, EMS was called.
Ummm… I just watched the video. He was clearly resisting arrest. After he said “I can’t breathe” the police officer removed his arm from around the neck. He then stuck to restraining the arm after which Eric was still speaking meaning he was breathing. So based on the video I would say no, he was not choked to death. The protesters keep showing the still of the chokehold- they don’t show that he was alive and alert after that.
I still don’t get what was cheating about Harry following the prince’s instructions in the Half-Blood Prince. Isn’t potions all about following instructions to perfection? He may have been following a better set of instructions, but he followed them perfectly. Had he been really lousy at following instructions a different set wouldn’t help any.
Insurance actually does pay for lifestyle counseling. Doctors however will tell the patient “you should exercise more” and then bills for the annual lifestyle counseling. It’s hard to enforce.
It says you should have as many zechuyos as a rimon. Don’t you get schar every time you do a mitzva? Hopefully you’re doing each mitzva more than once.
Do men have a sense of smell?
Isn’t tznius a mitzva for men as well? Men aren’t either supposed to be attracting undue attention to themselves. like RebYid23 said maybe men shouldn’t be in the knesset either…
Isn’t it exactly the same in reverse as well? A man can’t just skip off on his obligations to his wife either.
It’s hard to teach emunah. Emunah is best taught by example. If you want your students to have emunah, hire teachers that allow students to ask questions. Have the teachers teach navi, chumash or halacha, and the emunah will be given over to the students as well.
Yiddish is a Germanic language, so any Chinese worker that studied German in high school has a chance of understanding you. Did you ever hear airline announcements in German? Pretty clear to understand, no?
Rabbi and Rav are two different things. You don’t need to have semicha for somone to call you Rabbi. You can politely say “Just call me Mr. Frumguy. If they continue calling you Rabbi just let it be.
Can you eat baby jars? Maybe spice some up and they’d taste fine.
Nopes. RebbYidd23 knows a lot about noses. His/her profile page used to say something about writing poems about them.
Also DaasYochid- -1 years is way better than powdered water.
Dry water, an unusual form of “powdered liquid”, is a water-air emulsion in which tiny water droplets, each the size of a grain of sand, are surrounded by a sandy silica coating.[1] Dry water actually consists of 95 percent liquid water, but the silica coating prevents the water droplets from combining and turning back into a bulk liquid.[2] The result is a white powder that looks very similar to table salt.
Typical RebbYidd23 to say laser-guided scissors, but I’ll stick with robots.
popa- I actually looked up your question because I got curious what J.K.R. says to that. Muggles can become werewolves, and the ministry captures them and keeps them under control. It is also possible to die from werewolf venom, so many muggles that get bitten do not survive.
Chochmoh bagoyim taamin, torah bagoyim al taamin.
Horcruxes are worse than just dividing the soul. It’s premeditated murder (there’s a spell that needs to be said before avada kedavra) with the intention of a second one. In order for the horcrux to be of any use, the soul entrapped in the item must take the life of another person. The diary tried sapping Ginny’s life to come back to life. A horcrux can only be made by someone with no regard for human life.
I’m confused. Why would a french fire be any less scary than an american fire?
Didn’t you see it all over the news? It’s an every day thing. Almost every flight will have one person with an allergy. People don’t like to face it, but honestly the world is becoming more hostile towards religion.
I was once on a flight where there was a person with a nut allergy. He purchased one seat, just like everybody else. The stewardess went around and let everyone in his vicinity know that they will not be getting peanuts, and will not be permitted to eat any nut product in flight. People who had a problem with this could request a seat change. The airline did not require him to pay any extra money beyond the cost of a regular seat. Maybe they saved enough from not having to serve 15 people peanuts :).
I once spent a very uncomfortable flight sitting between a husband and wife. None of them wanted to change seats with me as they both wanted aisle seats. The flight was full. The whole flight they were talking over my head and passing their baby back and forth. On a bus it would be over in a short amount of time, but a flight is very different.
If the husband would switch seats with the wife there would be no issues at all. If anything a long flight would have a better reason for extra care not to mix with the opposite gender.
Can I eat chocolate when my post is in moderation, or is it only my post that can eat the chocolate?
What does my username say about me?
DaasYochid- and on Simchas Torah, they open the Torah for aliyos every fifteen minutes or so. While the women are watching.
Lior- the chumra you were mentioning doesn’t allow looking at a sefer torah either. According to what you were saying, there would be no difference between a woman watching hakafos or dancing them.

I once got paid wayyy more than the going rate. When I said I don’t have change, she just smiled and said she didn’t want any.
I think it’s quite clear that handwriting shows the writers frame of mind while writing the given sample. To track a tendency you’d need several samples over a period of time.
The best way is to make sure to wear a skirt of proper length yourself. If it’s someone who might be mekabel, just tell them about your seamstress, and mention what a fantastic job she did lengthening your dress.
You mentioned his financial stability, but what about his emotional stability? Why isn’t he doing these phone calls?
Another option that may work is rotating classrooms. Since real estate is expensive, eliminating that would result in significant savings for a school. If classes are held in parents homes, in a class of 20, a parent would have to give a room for the class for only one month every second year.
gavra- Do you really think you understand exactly what chazal said better than these yeshivos do? What’s your opinion on girls tuition- as far as I saw, chazal didn’t discuss that obligation on the father.
Chochom-ibber- I never said you have to give. I believe the yeshiva has a right to give without having to publicize the list.
What ever happened to matan b’seser and giving the pauper dignity?

Oh its a race? the pressure is mounting you’d better rush more
Cute.
I hint an opening for an invitation all the time. I say how much we love guests, and I ask what her plans are. If she doesn’t get such a broad hint, she’s obviously not looking for an invite.
Francorachel3- It’s hard to respond to you now without insulting you but I’ll try. Did you ever do anything to these people that they owe you a favor? Is it your “right” to have people invite you out for meals? Or, is it a nice thing for someone to do? I don’t think anyone has to do anything for you. Based on your attitude, I don’t know why people would want to either. It sounds like you wouldn’t really appreciate the meal, since that’s what they have to do anyhow right? From the divorcees I know, most would be none too thrilled being treated as anything less than a mature independent adult capable of leading her own shabbos meal.
@Gamanit,
I couldn’t disagree more with your suggestions. The divorcee is going through a hard enough time with the stigma of divorce, people taking sides without knowing the truth about who did what to who, and asking for invitations is very uncomfortable for many people. I believe the onus should be on the inviters. Look around you next time in your neighborhood for who might need a meal and some company. Don’t wait for people to ask you to invite them,most times it will not happen unless you’re very close to them which is a whole different issue.
Seriously? You’re saying people have to assume you want to eat by them? Do people in your community typically invite married couples for regular shabbos meals? If so, you can expect invitations. If it’s not the norm, why should people think to single you out for being divorced? Most divorcees say that they just want to be treated like everyone else.
I think withholding a get makes sense if the husband still believes that the marriage has potential. If he is a cohen, it makes even more sense as they cannot remarry each other should he give the divorce. But, of course, common sense should be applied. If there is no potential for a happy marriage, they should at least aim for a divorce without battles.
If you look under the word Reply you’ll see on the gray it says Post:
I sometimes wrote near my signature that I’m only signing because they’re making me, not because I mean it.
Since no one wants to make an offer only to be rejected, why don’t you let them know that an offer might readily be accepted? When shmoozing with someone you’re friendly with, why don’t you say “I’m having such a hectic week, I didn’t get a chance to arrange my Shabbos meals yet” or something like that. Like that they don’t randomly stick in an invitation in middle of nowhere and feel silly if it’s rejected. Like ChanieE said, you can’t expect people to read your mind.
There are a few unmarried 60ish year old women in my shul, but only one unmarried 60ish year old man. So maybe look a bit more carefully… I also know more divorced women than divorced men. I’ve heard of divorced men marrying single women, but not really vice versa.
