The way of wise ones is for a man to establish a work which provides for him first; then purchase a dwelling house; then espouse a woman.
Definitely don’t go to seminary in Tsfat.
Hospital etiquette question: How long after they pull the plug could you ask to use the outlet to charge your phone?
There’s no i in abcdefghjklmnopqrstuvwxyz.
I hate to educate you in this matter, because it proves that your childhood was lacking, unfortunately. Where’s Zaidy is a tape by R’ Shmuel Kunda, a”h.
I went to a restaurant, and I saw a guy wearing a leather jacket, eating a hamburger, drinking a glass of milk. I said, “Dude, you are a cow.”

vBulletin is a very popular forum software, and I believe version 5 offers a mobile site toggle at the bottom of each page.
R’ Shmuel Kamenetsky said that it’s assur.
There’s a Yaffa wig shop in Bnei Braq that apparently has a one-hour service. The sign outside says ??? ??? ???.
Also it’s fun that you didn’t say where you’re leaving from.

Thanks, FriendInFlatbush, for an exact repetition of what I said.
Shiv’im panim latorah.
I’m sorry for not being clear; I did not mean to cause offense.
Of course I know that many people who were not wealthy had everything detroyed, and definitely needed and deserved the money they received from tzedaka.
That being said, it is impossible to deny the fact that the two communities which were hit the worst are widely known as being wealthy, and that a lot of tzedaka money was given to people who had no need. And please don’t quote me the thing about the hundred runners.
Now all the people whose third Bentley was destroyed in the storm can receive tzedaka money!
Great minds think alike, and so do we.
I only keep shabbos about 1/7 of the time.
This is all explained at the beginning of Where’s Zaidy.
A friend of mine flew to Israel on Turkish Air and he told me that the security guards in the airport in Turkey all wear sandals.
How do you chase crooks if you’re wearing sandals?!
I want to go to Turkey in sneakers and rob the whole airport.
liveright – You took the words out of my mouth.
Respecting authority.

I’m a pretty regular gut and I wear a celvet yarmulka. I wouldn’t be caught fead wearing a mon celvet one.
The Gemara in Bava Kama on 38a-38b shows that R’ Shmuel Bar Yehudah was quite sad when his daughter died.
On the other hand, the way Ulah comforted him was by saying “?? ???? ??? ?????? ??? ???? ???? ??? ??? ?? ??? ??? ???? ???? ???” and Rashi says ??? ?? ??? ?? ?????. ???? ??? ?? ??? ??? ???? ?????
eclipse – Are you referring to my name change? I’m now LAB.
Also, the guy in the video is known as the Rappin’ Rabbi, and I believe he is the one singing. He didn’t write the lyrics though.
It’s actually not a Josh Groban song, although he may have made it famous. It’s originally Secret Garden, sung by Brian Kennedy.
No I didn’t, but my friend made the video. They did approach me a few months ago to make a video for them, but it wasn’t practical (I’m in Israel).
gavra – I agree. Maybe we can add that believing that one race is inherently superior (in terms of intellect/accomplishments etc.) to another race may not be a problem, but that does NOT mean to treat them with any less respect.
Just as you know that mentally retarded people are intellectually inferior to non-retarded people, that obviously does not mean to treat them with any less respect.
And no, I’m not saying that blacks, or any other race, are retarded.
This is what the Rambam says (Hilchos De’os 6:9); it’s a good thing to remember when people do things like this to you.

(emphasis mine)
The term “racist” first appeared in the English language in the 1930s.
If you are indeed a racist, who said that’s a bad thing? American media?
Historically, racism was not considered inherently bad according to basic moral code, judging from the thousands of years of socially-accepted racism.
The current Western world we live in condemns racism. They also promote gay rights.
I could probably make a similarly unfunny joke with any object.
A boy in shidduchim is like a hot pepper. First he’s washed off, then he’s chewed up, then he’s spit out!
A boy in shidduchim is like a mailbox. First he’s stuck in the ground, then he’s stuffed with papers and resumes, then he’s emptied out!
A boy in shidduchim is like a dog. First he’s cute, then he barks at everyone, then he’s put down!
I could do this all day.
I heard that he spoke at a bachur’s siyum on Shas, and he commented how nowadays when a bachur learns twenty blatt a zman second seder, he’s considered to have gone quickly. Ten blatt would be b’iyun, seven blatt is even more, five is even more, and a guy who did two blatt must be the best bachur in yeshiva! So a bachur who finished Shas…
I can’t completely help you, but a starting point might be the Gemara in Bava Kama on 6a (by the two dots starting with ?????? ?? ?????:)
knows around 1rd of Shas
Huh? Is that a number?
Also, I heard a great line from R’ Elya Ber Wachtfogel about bachurim who “finish Shas” but I won’t say it, in case your son has photographic memory.
They accept after Pesach and Sukkos; usually not for Elul Zman. For Winter Zman, no dating until Tu B’Shvat. For Summer Zman, no dating until Tisha B’Av (official end of zman).
If you’re dating a girl before the zman starts, you can submit her initials to the office and continue dating her.
If you break the freezer rules, the Roshei Yeshiva will not come to your wedding.
I once won 200 bucks for a Jewish essay contest. Hardly a scholarship.
See Mishnah Berurah 48:5 for a discussion on whether or not one should shuckel.
If someone’s home is broken the roof might fall on them and cause a serious head injury.
To the best of my knowledge unflavored coffee is kosher anywhere. I didn’t say to buy a donut.
Go off the D!
Click on his username and look at the URL. It says wellinformedyid.
Ah. Now I get your joke. +100!
Why is this a sore topic with you? When people tell me that Aspirin doesn’t work, I don’t call them ignorant or cynical.
Thank you rationalfrummie. Sometimes people can’t defend their own statements, because they look too, well, defensive. I appreciate it.
I’d just like to point out: I’ve heard people try to “prove” Breslev’s general worldview, namely that happiness is a core part of Judaism, by quoting the famous phrase “Mitzvah gedolah lihyos besimcha”. This is a quote from R’ Nachman himself. All you’re proving is that this is Breslev’s view, not Judaism’s in general.
Ivdu es Hashem b’simcha is a pasuk in Tehillim (100), which also has the pasuk (2) Ivdu es Hashem b’yirah.
I usually go to Dunkin Donuts and get a coffee. I’ve been there as early as 6:30 AM. It’s right before you leave the terminal, on the right side. I’m sorry I can’t help you with food.
golfer – How about a poem detailing the differences between defiantly and definitely?
When people steal the Aveirah/Chumrah Song it bothers me but I don’t really care, because I did it for the attention, not the money.
Sidebar: the money from iTunes does go to yeshiva, and that might be some serious la’avin.
For example – anyone who suggests that all browsers be uninstalled and app installation access password-protected, here’s a fun fact: All Google (among many other) apps have built-in browsers. That means that Google Voice, Google Earth, etc. can all get full access. Sometimes the access is as obscure as clicking a link buried deep in the EU agreement or license information. You would never know this in a million years, because you have no desire to find it.
writersoul – There would be absolutely nothing dangerous about a gun which is completely incapable of firing bullets.
The purpose of the comments was to point out that it is nearly impossible to completely prevent a child from gaining access to the Internet on a tablet. Where there’s a will there’s a way.
Maybe try to understand people’s comments before you pounce on them because they don’t fit with your world views.
