kitovParticipant
Gadolhadorah, was your fire coused by a federal pacific electrical panel?
That brand of electrical panel is know to be faulty and the government isn’t warning the public.
Many homeowners are unaware of the danger.
I purchased a home with such a panel and needed a replacement quickly.
The cost of replacement varies widely so it pays to shop around.
I used Angie’s list to find a reasonably priced and reliable electrician.kitovParticipantI think Abraham Lincoln wore a kapota.
March 6, 2018 11:08 am at 11:08 am in reply to: He’s Hot, She’s Cold; Windows Open or Closed? #1482032kitovParticipantThe solution to obtaining warmth is buying an electric heated blanket or electric heated throw.
These reasonbly priced appliances have warmed up my life
And made me want to tell everyone to buy one.
Before I got them i was shivering in bed even under several blankets.
But now I enjoy the gentle warm under this soft heated blanket all winter.
Anytime your sitting someplace and feel cold just wrap yourself in a heated throw and feel the instant warmth.
Energy use is minimal no need to turn up the thermostat and heating bills.kitovParticipantakuperma home made food is supposed to taste better ?
Well sometimes it doesn’t.
For Instance store brought pizza tastes better then homemade.March 6, 2018 10:28 am at 10:28 am in reply to: every home must have a fire sprinkler system #1481907kitovParticipantSmoke detector and fire alarms are better then nothing
But not a solution to a matter of life and death.
What good is an alarm if your faced with a fast moving fire and you have no escape route?
The modern home is filled with plastic items that act fire acelerants engulfing a home in flames in a few minutes.
The risk of being trapped by a fast moving fire is too great to ignore.
For those that have the funds a fire sprinkler system
Is the best investment to protect lives and property.kitovParticipantDonald Trump is not that bad for new york.
His policies are helping wall street and big banks
That make up the city’s economy.
Plus he has promised to build infrastructure projects most likely in new York his hometown.kitovParticipantLook for kapotas in a used clothing store.
kitovParticipantOK lightbright tell us the secret ingredient in the rebbetzin hummus.
People been waiting 10 months to hear it.
Secret Recipes! no more secrets?December 28, 2017 3:05 pm at 3:05 pm in reply to: FAST APPROACHING: The End of Secularism in Israel #1438903kitovParticipantROC , don’t blame the cheradim of USA for not moving to isreal.
If the cheradim leadership will move first then the followers will follow them.
But as long as the leadership stays put
The followers will stick here like glue.December 26, 2017 1:04 pm at 1:04 pm in reply to: shalom mordechai is OUT…..BARUCH HASHEM! Its Zos Chanukah #1436654kitovParticipant@joseph
the price of kosher chicken and meat produced in rubashkins former plant is being sold cheaply now in Walmart and in some crown heights grocery stores.December 26, 2017 1:03 pm at 1:03 pm in reply to: shalom mordechai is OUT…..BARUCH HASHEM! Its Zos Chanukah #1436651kitovParticipant@chabadshlucha.
I didn’t say it was worth putting rubashkin in jail
in order to reduce the price of kosher meat.
I just made the public aware of the fact that they benefited from rubashkins suffering.
certainly I am unhappy with the fact that he spent time in jail
and I am happy he got release from jail.December 22, 2017 8:30 am at 8:30 am in reply to: shalom mordechai is OUT…..BARUCH HASHEM! Its Zos Chanukah #1433539kitovParticipantwe have rubashkin to thank for the low price of kosher chicken from the postville plant .
the result of the overzealous prosecutors forcing the plant to be sold for pennies on the dollar helped the buyers (shor habor) sell kosher chicken for a greatly reduced retail price.
this benefits all of us kosher consumers.
at least rubashkins suffering wasn’t for naught.December 3, 2017 5:19 pm at 5:19 pm in reply to: What about American Jews? Where can we escape to in case of emergency? #1417422kitovParticipantThe frum American jew can hide among the Amish people .
kitovParticipantJews don’t like to move.
Most Jews died in the plague of darkness
Since they didn’t want to leave Egypt.
And when the call to rebuild the second Temple
When out most stayed in Babylon.
And today when the doors of the land of isreal are open.
Most Jews in exile are waiting for moshiach to ask them to move to isreal.kitovParticipantI like Hewlett-Packard computers for their reasonable prices and the fact they are sold in local stores.
Hewlet packerd is also an established brand with a good reputation.kitovParticipantYou don’t spend much if you bring your date to a pizza shop.
kitovParticipantKeep it .
Why waste a good stamp returning junk mail ?kitovParticipantYou are insecure since the Rosh hashona and yom Kippur holidays.
The aim of those holidays is to give you a feeling of insecurity
In order to help your soul rise to a higher level.kitovParticipantA wife is a friend/enemy according to the Torah.
‘Ozer kinegedo’ ( helpmate but against man) is how the Torah discribes the nature of a woman.
A perfect example was chava who gave Adam the forbidden fruit to eat in order to kill him.
A wife can be so treacherous that rabbi gershon made decree against poligomy.
So the answer to your question … should your spouse be your best friend ?……. probably not.kitovParticipantA vote for Murphy is a vote for higher taxes and spending
On election day the democratic voters of new Jersey will vote their preference.
I say democratic voters because most of new Jersey voters are democrats.October 15, 2017 12:39 am at 12:39 am in reply to: Moving to the suburbs to escape the Orthodox ghetto #1380547kitovParticipantJoseph listen to me.
Cleveland offers free yeshiva tuition vouchers.
New York and new Jersey doesn’t offer free yeshiva tuition vouchers period.October 15, 2017 12:32 am at 12:32 am in reply to: Moving to the suburbs to escape the Orthodox ghetto #1380533kitovParticipantJoseph , the rav was talking about communities that have no Orthodox Jews.
Cleveland has everything an orthodox Jew needs to thrive.
Granted it doesn’t have the size or the intensity of Brooklyn.
But it doesn’t need to have it.
It depends on the depth of ones commitment to Orthodoxy.
If one wants to remain orthodox
one can easily do so in Cleveland.
If one wants to go off the derech he can also do so in Brooklyn.
I think rav miller would agree with that.October 14, 2017 10:30 pm at 10:30 pm in reply to: Moving to the suburbs to escape the Orthodox ghetto #1380468kitovParticipantRav miller said this decades ago
When orthodox Jewry was mostly located in the Brooklyn costly ghetto.
Now however Orthodox Jewry has spread all over country (thanks in no small part to the chabad movement) and one can move away from the Brooklyn costly ghetto and live an Orthodox Jewish lifestyle while saving on housing costs at the same time.
I can talk from personal experience since I moved from queens to Cleveland.
Here i can purchase a home with in walking distance of a synagogue for less then the cost of a rental apartment back home in queens.
Plus I save on property taxes too.
Last but not least yeshiva tuition vouchers are available here in Cleveland.
If rav miller would be alive today he would recommend orthodox Jewry move to Cleveland.August 28, 2017 7:59 am at 7:59 am in reply to: Additional Societal Casualties Of The Shidduch Crisis #1348218kitovParticipantOne of societal Casualties Of The Shidduch Crisis is reduced population growth .

When the likely hood of meeting is slim to none
?August 27, 2017 1:06 pm at 1:06 pm in reply to: Chareidi Extremists Protest On Shabbos Outside Home Of Store Owner…’ opinions? #1347899kitovParticipantWe need a chief rabbi in the united states to teach us right from wrong.
August 27, 2017 12:24 pm at 12:24 pm in reply to: Would a live YNW Coffee Room get-together interest you? #1347894kitovParticipantTzfasta meruba lo tzafsta.
The Talmud says if you ask for too much you get nothing.
So I am not requesting a real live coffee room.
Instead I would settle for a voice chat coffee room.kitovParticipantStatues are idols and need to be removed.
kitovParticipantHomes with open floor plans are difficult to heat in the winter and cool off in the summer.
Just one drafty window or door can allow all the heated or air conditioned air to escape.kitovParticipantWe should help the poor as much as we would want to be helped if we would be poor.
kitovParticipantVitamin A in large amounts can be toxic to the liver.
Vitamin A Is added to skim milk.
So drinking to much skim milk isn’t healthykitovParticipantDon’t wait for a shadchan to find you a shidduch.
Even girls with perfect résumé are having a hard time finding a shidduch now.
The best thing for you is taking the direct route.
Go on Jewish dating websites.
Find some frum single men there and send them a lot of text messages.
Maybe you can snare a date with some of them.
perhaps one of these guys will fall for you despite your handicaps.kitovParticipantWas is a Talmud chochom ?
To find that out we first have to know what an am haretz is ?
I believe an am haretz is some one who does not know even a pasuk Torah.
With the bar set so low everyone is likely to marry a bas Talmud chochom today.kitovParticipantUsing the internet is an issue I almost sure everyone will be makil (lenient) about eventually.
When the gedolim realize they can’t stop something controversial from taking place they eventually become makil (leinient) about it.
Take a look at other controversial issues and see what happened.
First machine matzohs.
When they first came out they where considered forbidden
Because you can’t clean a matzoh machine from chometz properly.
Today everyone eats machine matzos on passover.
Second yeshiva secular studies programs.
When the tzar of russia demanded the natziv teach secular studies in velozian.
He closed the yeshiva down .
It was impossible for him to even contemplate such a thing.
Today every child attends such a yeshiva.
Similarly with the internet .
today its impossible for them to even contemplate it .
But i think they will allow it and use it extensively like for example the Orthodox union and chabad does today.
give them time and every Jewish rabbi and Jewish institution will be on the internet.kitovParticipantHair clippers are specialized implements used to cut human head hair. They work on the same principle as scissors (wikipedia)
kitovParticipantCatch yourself with all due respect we can’t have blind faith in your definition of emunah.
Show us some proof from the Torah that your definition of emunah is the correct one.kitovParticipantI use a wahl hair clipper to shave off my beard.
It works nearly as good as a shaver for the purpose.since EVERYONE uses it for haircutting.
I figure its got to be kosher to cut your beard with it.kitovParticipantYup I don’t like Zionism either but I would say this the Jews have an obligation to gather in groups even in galus times and fight the gentile enemy like it says in the megillah “lamod al nafshayhem.
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.kitovParticipantThe kys dating website has shadchanim on site for those persons who need to work with a shadchanim.
The kys dating website also lists some single events from time to time.kitovParticipantYou have to cook your own meals
kitovParticipantI am also recommending the MIT MAZEL online dating website run by the chabad/lubavitch chassidic movement.
Google MIT MAZEL dating to find it.kitovParticipantI once used a audio tape recorder as a chazon.
I would record some tehilim on my tape recorder
then i replayed it while I said tehilim along with it.
It gave me more enthusiasm to say tehilim.
I think it’s better to say tehilim like this then not to say tehilim at all.kitovParticipantI agree with you those that post on internet chat rooms/bulletin boards shouldn’t talk about setting up mechitzas.
I can tell you a few other places where being machmir is chumrah.
Not walking in the city streets during the summer time is a chumrah.
Not riding the subway during rush hour is a chumrah.
Having a separate bathroom/bathtub for women in your home is a chumrah.
It’s great if you can be machmir and keep all these chumrahs but most people can’t and don’t and will remain conflicted.kitovParticipantI would recommend krias yam suff dating website.
The website is free and geared towards Orthodox Jewish singles.
Google kys dating to find it.kitovParticipantMechitza is a halacha in a shul or at a wedding.
Mechitza is a chumrah on a internet chatroom/bulletin board.kitovParticipantCutting entitlements is the third rail of politics.
Trump and his party will voted out of office if he does that.kitovParticipantDo you know of a Belgian chocolate that is kosher cholov yisroel ?
kitovParticipantAssurent I fail to understand what mesirus nefesh has to do with it.
Would you say that your prayer is more effective in a shul located on top of mountain than one located on main Street ??
If the answer is no then why should amuka be any different ?
If the answer is yes then let’s build shuls with out doors where the congregation can climb through the Windows to get in perhaps then our prayers will be answered.kitovParticipantYou can be machmir (stringent) on your self.
But you have no right force chomras (stringentcies) on other people.kitovParticipantapushatayid name one yeshiva that has been able to drop the secular studies program in North America.
Many rosh yeshivas don’t like to teach secular studies .
If they could forget secular studies all together they surely would. -
