Midwest, you’re saying that only Muslims kill, and not RCs?
I’m sorry, too many lost lives from illegal immigrants from our southern neighbor, and they are RCs.
Please keep in mind, that if someone from those countries operates a successful business, they won’t be moving to America. Only the ones with problems seek a new life, and “they’re bringing their problems with them (us) “, and, “they’re not sending us their best. ”No, Midwest, I’m sorry (and I’m also a Midwestern, shpitz rachmonus), but they are *not* as clean as you make them out to be.
The young girl from Germany last week can prove it all. Was it worth her precious life?
How about all the drugs that our southern neighbors bring in? And the murders and rapes they commit?
Is it worth all those innocent lives, when applying rachmonus to those who take advantage, and bite the hand that feeds them?i’m sorry, but no rachmanus, even for 1000’s of people, can equal the loss of EVEN ONE INNOCENT LIFE !
what you did in 1956 was much different. you were not b’chezkas rapists, murderers, drug dealers, etc – that are killing so many innocent americans, germans, french, and other people of the worldthe only thing that’s inhumane is having those people come in illegally, and do terrible harm to the locals (rape, murder, etc.)
a guest CANNOT take over the host’s home – PERIOD !!!immigration is a two way street – both sides have to abide by the rules
Ten years later?????
part of the problem is that we’re forced into a Catch 22 situation.
One one hand we *have* to get married.
on the other hand, we *can’t* do it on our own (boys and girls meet freely on the street)
so we’re at the disposal of the shadchanim
not every husband/wife combo are a good shadchan (you have to know how to present things, how to “bend the truth”, etc. etc.) – so the REAL shadchan does need to take an active roletraining girls not to get married?
the unfortunate results of that is that they could become “frei” rapidly.
it is easier for an older boy to remain frum. he can either stay in yeshiva longer, or even in working, he goes to minyan 3x daily, has night chavrusas, shiurim, whatever.
but for an older girl the opportunities are sadly limitedlittle that i know: you’re right, i don’t have a reference, but i believe i heard it on a shiur – so def the onus is on me to prove it, thanks.
look, i’m a huge opponent of smoking, i’ve been around this world for over a half a century and never put a cig in my mouth (and IYH for the 2nd 1/2 century too 🙂 )
BUT, i must say this, that i believe the issur of v’nishmartem is only if the person will die that minute, like jumping off a cliff, or whatever
but if it’s just a disease that accrues in one’s body based on poor habits, it’s certainly not a good idea, but i don’t think a person is specifically “oiver” on v’nishmartem
ALSO, how can we justify the weekly intake of kugel, kishke, cholent, and the like (besides for the lack of regular exercise) ?Nixon:
“potatoes didn’t come to eastern Europe until the mid-18th century”.
Wow, so you’re saying that PK isn’t that traditional after all?LC: גאון אתה מאוד. The famous ריבאייזען. Thanks 🙂
I’m being serious now.
It can be assumed that all the traditional ashkenazi Jewish foods are rooted centuries ago in Europe.
How then, did they make potato kugel without a food processor?GHatorah,
Any sefer that’s written but a mechalel shabbos, you can tell immediately by the connect that it’s not pure Torah, so hopefully none of them will ever wind up in the beis medrashgavriel613, we have to get a bit more lomdish here.
if it’s shavuos, maybe the poster is in EY, where there’s no 2nd Day YT.
BUT, if he’s in EY, you have to prove that he’s indeed a Ben Eretz Yisroel, and not a Ben Chutz Laaretz who’s staying in EY, and is obligated in 2 Days, but is still posting.
so, if he’s posting on YT sheni, is there an issur of accepting his post? maybe we hold that electronic devices are d’rabonnon, and posting on YT2 is תרי דרבנן, which we can be meikel witha regular israeli BY girl will not be interested in an american bochur anyway
the personality types are TOTALLY different
so don’t even bother going thereThe minhag in klal Yisroel is that his niggunim are acceptable, just not his derech
If Big Pharma is in cahoots with China, how are they allowing Chinese medicine?
The last time the losing candidate received more popular votes than electoral was in 2000 when Al Gore lost to George W Bush.
Then Senator Hillary Clinton said, “We must do something about reforming this outdated system. ”
Guess what? In sixteen years she didn’t do a thing, and it came back to haunt her.
Exactly what (candidate) Trump was saying, that she’d be a terrible president.the reason why this is important news on YWN is because some of the readers still feel bad that President Trump beat her.
So just hammering home the point.then they should get some Oxidant to whiten up their shirts 🙂
President Trump is well on his way to becoming the most productive president our nation has ever elected.
little i know: 100% agreed, brains isn’t everything. BUT, if she’s very smart, and he’s not, they’re gonna run into difficulties in day to day conversations, and general family mgmt
joseph: that’s how this whole thread started, by the “label” of a store worker being looked down at. (i don’t think it was a salesman, but rather a stock boy, or something like that)
Joseph,
I, as a computer programmer, take your comparison to a lawyer as a compliment. Maybe my boss will see this and give me a raise 🙂
I do however realize that both these professions are considered to be white collared, but not a store employee.
Obviously all limud haTorah is supreme, but there are lower and higher levels, and the girl should be able to seek out what she wants.if a girl wants to marry a boy who’s “into learning”, and you’ll ask her to give an example of what that might mean, she’ll probably answer something to the affect of “a bochur who learns deep gemora and halacha” (i would imagine the sems explain what real talmud torah is)
so, how disappointed will she be when she finds out her chosson is only capable of learning chumash/rashi & kitzur?
same thing (lehavdil) with working at a store vs. a higher level jobdon’t worry, all the seforim stores have tons of brochos seforim on display up front
so i say that ?? stands for ??? ?????
“doesn’t even know what Shabbos is”
experience has it that they DO know what Shabbos is, and all the learning/mitzvos they had before are still with them
the best thing for them (and you too) is to keep on being friendly to them, take them out to ice cream, etc.
often times when ppl go otd r”l it’s because they feel isolated. if you show them the true colors of a friendship, they’ll go back to being frum simply by osmosis
hatzlocha !

var phrase = “Enter your phrase here”;
for (var i = 0; i <= phrase.length; i++) {
document.write(phrase.substring(0,i) + “

i believe it was the steipler gaon zt”l who said that nowadays (that was some 30 years ago) if a child goes OTD rch”l, that does NOT have a bearing on the siblings, since the street has shlepped him away
how much more so in 2012 – Hashem yishmor aleinu !
here’s a quote from that article:
“With regards to the exact date and time of Rabbi’s Weil’s ‘petira’, Mr David Seldner contends that there are differences between the local council’s version and the universally accepted version. The date on the Korban Netanel’s tombstone is 7.5.1769, which was on a Sunday (30 Nisan 5529, Erev Rosh Chodesh Iyar). However, according to Jewish sources, he was niftar 15 Iyar 5529, which was the 22 May 1769 and was on a Monday. To compound matters further, it is a well-known historical fact that Erev Shabbos was the day he was niftar. In fact, the levaya was attended by many gentiles, who regarded him as their ‘wunder-rabiner’.”
when you’re back on this thread even though it’s been idle for 2 years
in my search of kivrei tzaddikim in Germany, i went to the city of Karlsruhe where he is buried, but missed his kever by about 300 feet (i received some contradictory information from various sources, and missed it, then had to catch a train). boy did i feel terrible – but IY”H next time.
anyone been there before?
torahis1: you’re completely missing the point what doc’s trying to say. Imagine your spouse (assuming you’re married) repeatedly telling you “I love you”, and then a minute later physically slapping you. Those love words are meaningless. Same thing with Hashem. If somesone says “G-d I love you, I’m a good Jew at heart, etc.”, and the next minute’s he’s driving on Shabbos – well you get the comparison.
Doc, you’re 100% (not 50%) correct. This “live and let live” smecks of American liberalism, which is very foreign to authentic Yiddishkeit.
come to EY, that’s the way it’s done here
I also heard Rav Miller zt”l saying: “There’s only one place for a TV in a Jewish home: out the window.”
dd, you don’t know the rules of gimatrias. Each word can count for 1 point, and the “kollel” (total sum) can be worth another point. (Note I say “can be”, since it’s not a MUST.) So therefore, add 2 points to each word of “pere adam”, and add 1 point for its “kollel”, and there you have it: 329=329
brooklyn19: i got this gimatria from the baltimore teacher (forgot his name by now) who does internet awareness seminars in frum communites. (you’re right, i should have said it initially b’shem omro)
the Tohu Vavohu one i heard many years ago from an Odom Gadol (who probably wouldn’t want his name floating around the internet, so i won’t mention it)
Also, what mussar I get from this letter – how many Gedolim from the list are no longer with us! Hashem Yerachem – let us all do teshuva!
(please correct me if I made any mistakes)

This letter was written on Rosh Chodesh Elul 5752 (August 30, 1992) – there was NO INTERNET THEN! (I guess this is what you’re hinting at Joseph, correct?)
1) TV stands for Tohu Vavohu
2) in Gimatria: ??????? = ??? ???
It has a lot to do with how the parents raised the kids in the USA, and their level of gashmiyus. Yes, if you’re the type who has 3 cars, a huge room in the house for each kid, Florida vacations every winter, etc. etc., then you’re truly running a HUGE risk. but if you’re “down to earth” you have a much better chance of success.
… when you write an “Out of the Mailbag” letter entitled “Coffeeroom Crisis”
I’ll take Bava Metzia to complete Seder Nezikin – bl”n
i live where it’s much more kadosh than the internet: EY
ppl, pay attention to the dates. this started 2 months ago, and now you’re coming back expecting her to still read this? maybe this is yet another reason why “You Know You’ve Been Spending Too Much Time in The YWN Coffee Room” – ppl responing to threads from months back! 🙂
… when you send the YW Editor the following email:
“you’re closing down too many geshmacke threads lately – com’on, let the oylam shmooz :)”
Darwin agrees with a Geminist? what a chiddush 🙂
… when you stop being a baal gaava and actually listen to some of the advice given
i’m glad bogen didn’t nail me, after all, what can be wrong with learning kitzur ? 🙂 ?
Jewess, FYI, the Editor is a man (I know him)
thanks to “Will Hill” for starting probably the nicest thread in the cofferoom!
I once got a brocha from an Odom Godol to learn Kitzur Shulchan Oruch, so I started a website http://www.kitzur.net (surprise, surprise 🙂 to promote learning this sefer.
notpashut, it’s not poshut what you’re saying. It all depends on your line of work. Many if not most olim from North America come with white collared experience, and earn on the higher level of EY salaries. And of course, with the falling Dollar, it doesn’t help all that much to earn American salaries
And besides, I think you missed my point about Switzerland. What I was saying is that, granted, in EY you don’t earn as much as elsewhere, but you automatically get EMUNAH points while living here (or at least they’re easier to acquire here), and they’re “???? ?????” (as written in this week’s parsha Chayey Sarah).
