so i think the correct answer to the shopping cart question was definetly NOT that she calls or faxes in the order cuz that would be lazy…

As far as which way the cart is pulled/pushed your guesses are as good as mine

😀 just saw bar shattya’s new blurb. way to go mods.. high five friday

epitome…

love love love love the word. Its intense in phonetics and in meaning and just rolls right off the tongue

apologizing doesn’t diminish the gag-worthiness…

and that last thing i can’t really explain you kinda just would have to get it

Kapusta that was a little preacherish

gag

“I just felt this needed to be said.” of course you did.

Let ZK express his opinions, the Mods allowed it

The best ITFAPOD was the one about the headless chicken who survived its be-heading… think they named him mike or sumthin

or how bout Rabbi Blum’s nobel prize worthy “bagel theory” on brachos…

For those trying to understand the issue with pony shaitels, I once heard the explanation that since pony tails are worn by a very large percentage of frum teenage girls, it signifies a “besula” and a married woman, an “aishes ish” is not supposed to look like she are unmarried, which she may be confused for if she has the same hairstyle.

That’s why many poskim in Eretz Yisrael have an issue with married women wearing pony shaitels.

To Mod:

“im sorry it bothered you but i am not interested in grammar when it gets in the way of clarity of expression”

There is no clarity of expression if the reader cannot even get through the sentence as a whole because you’ve decided to break it in middle. Shame on you.

and yea I know I’m a little comma happy

Sacrilege,

“I doubted you working in the fashion industry in your first post, now I am sure of it.”

Are you sure now that I don’t work in the Fashion Industry or are you certain that I do?

And to everyone else: Forget long denim skirts, this discussion just turned nerdy. Like everyone think for yourself you have the facts or opinions or whatever and just deal.

Tznius is the most important attribute for a Jewish a girl to possess and I kind of thought that would be obvious. For all those of you who vehemently maintain that denim is zero breach of tznius, ha. haha. I’d love for you to sit in Fashion Marketing 101 for just one session, and I think there would be no need for discussion.

Shrek,

“I can take a skirt that was intended by the fashion industry to show more leg than frum Jews find appropriate, add a piece of fabric to the bottom, and now it is perfectly fine for any rebbetzin to wear.”

It is obviously not the same skirt anymore with the added piece, and if the fashion designer would have made the skirt 6 inches longer originally, the intentions would have been different.

Well, by that logic if I took a Jean skirt and attached a piece of satin to cover the entire thing so that you could not see the denim, then I presume that would be ok. Of course the Fashion Industry’s mindset is relevant. Duh.

Girls who do not wear jean/denim skirts for tznius reasons are definitely in the ranks of those who understand tznius in the spirit of the law, and it is an admirable sensitivity.

I have formal education in Fashion Marketing, and would just like to let you know that in the Fashion industry the “jean/denim” material is used to connote a certain theme which is against Torah and Halacha and the core of our Jewish value system.

So whether or not you personally associate jean/denim with improper shall we say taavos, the material has been produced and mass marketed for years with those intentions (ask anyone in the fashion workforce, they make no secret of this).

Not wearing jean/denim skirts is not a crazy unnecessary chumrah, that is practiced by those who are needlessly “restricting” themselves. It is a reflection of a true understanding of tznius as not only a list of rules, but as a defining factor in the life of a Jewish woman.

Why is everyone losing sight of the fact that learning Torah is the most vital component for the perpetuation of this world (I can start with sources if anyone objects), and that if the boys of today are being encouraged to extend their years in kolell, what audacity it is that most of you are writing it off as something only very few should be doing, as it is not the way for a ‘Torah Society to function.’

Um, if thats the way it has started to function then why take that nachas away from Hashem. I think we owe G-d more than to discourage his children from learning His Torah as long as possible.
