LightbriteParticipant
Omgosh TOBS!!! You rock ππππ
I seriously thought the game was done… couldn’t think of any other words!
A+++++++++++++++++ βΊβΊβΊ
LightbriteParticipantRebYidd23, may Hashem help me rescue an insect in need, and may Hashem remind me to think of your when I b’esrat Hashem succeed in His mission to save a life.
PLEASE HASHEM… have mercy on me, when it comes to the insects that I prefer to safely avoid and may you please have us live separately ever after, happily. Thank you! And please surround RebYidd23’s bug killing desires with fake bugs. Thank you.
Shana tova and metukah, but the kind of sweetness that does not attract insects, or cavities.
Thank you π
LightbriteParticipantIs the liver sweet because of the onions?
LightbriteParticipantDoes changing shuls have to be one of those, *WHAM, BAM, & GOODBYE* kind of deals?
Maybe it’s just me, but why can’t you taper off of one shul? Perhaps you already tapered off and are spending more time at another shul.
Sometimes not saying anything leaves it open for you to also go back, once in a while, if you want. Maybe you want to stop by and shake the Lulav and Etrog there, just to wish the rabbi and community a chag samayach too.
It doesn’t have to be all or nothing, you know? When it comes to what to say, you can make it simple and vague. You had other things going on at this shul. You love both places, but clearly you need to be someplace else now. People, especially a rabbi that you were close to, ought to understand and wish you the best π

September 25, 2017 8:11 am at 8:11 am in reply to: North Korea π°π΅ and the proper hishtadlus!!! #1368492LightbriteParticipantGranted a nuclear missIle is super scary. How do we protect ourselves? Is there a solution for American citizens?
What is our histadlus here?
September 25, 2017 8:11 am at 8:11 am in reply to: North Korea π°π΅ and the proper hishtadlus!!! #1368493LightbriteParticipantIt is scary. Praying.
Reminds me of the kid being bullied at school. Which kid? The kid that eventually brings a gun (G-d forbid) and suddenly everyone has to listen because things just so serious.
Making fun of their president hasn’t helped yet.
Please Hashem help.
Thank you.
September 25, 2017 4:40 am at 4:40 am in reply to: North Korea π°π΅ and the proper hishtadlus!!! #1368468LightbriteParticipantI’m confused. We live in America, not North Korea. In the Holocaust, the Nazis invaded the actual countries where Jews lived, targeting Jews in their proximity and spreading out.
By that account, what if we Americans moved to another country, and we were closer to North Korea? Wouldn’t that help North Koreans in doing whatever they want to do?
But no Lightbrite, I just mean to get out of the US before chas v’shalom our lives are in danger. Well, where would you want to go? Is Europe any safer? Is that practical?
With all the trash and bottles in the world, we can just make a Jewish island grounded in recyclables. Theyβve already made a recyclable island somewhere.
Though shipping food would be an expense, and Amazon would probably charge extra shipping for everything too. So to save on postage, let’s stay in tge USA, and ride it out.
LightbriteParticipantWhy don’t they substitute raisins with craisins?
September 25, 2017 4:38 am at 4:38 am in reply to: Is hanging pictures of leaders considered to be Avoda Zora? #1368466LightbriteParticipantIs putting a picture of someone on your computer desktop avodah zara?
LightbriteParticipantAre you also asking if they sold pre-shelled almonds back in Biblical times?
If you were a baby or husband eating almonds, maybe you’d have a higher chance at being served pre-shelled almonds?
LightbriteParticipantSalmon (?)
September 24, 2017 4:33 pm at 4:33 pm in reply to: Is hanging pictures of leaders considered to be Avoda Zora? #1368339LightbriteParticipantWhat if your parents are leaders? Can you hang up pictures of your parents?
LightbriteParticipantWhat if you’re in a wheelchair and cannot stand up?
LightbriteParticipantGmar chatimah tova ve shana tova oo’metukah Lilmod Ulelamaid!!! π
May you and your family have a sweet year filled with blessings, revealed good, parnassah, love and shalom bayis, and all that is best and sweet good for you and for them! May Hashem answer your prayers mercifully and sweetly always, and may you be a strong and blessed kli for all of your brachot!!! π π π

September 18, 2017 10:34 pm at 10:34 pm in reply to: Why its important to show pictures of Married Couples #1366592LightbriteParticipantOoops… sorry typo, I meant Zahavasdad π
LightbriteParticipantiacisrmma: Thank you!!! π Ahh… if your uncle already knows, and is consciously taking the risk, that makes sense… π
LightbriteParticipantCTLAWYER: Lol.
September 18, 2017 5:41 pm at 5:41 pm in reply to: Why its important to show pictures of Married Couples #1366481LightbriteParticipantZD: A+++++++++++++++++++++
Didn’t even see the picture, but I agree that showing healthy happy role model couples, like the Shevet Levi and his wife, is positive for us to see!
Honestly it wasn’t until I started “seeing” happy healthy couples that I realized being married can be a truly great thing.
Amen!!! Thanks for sharing Zavahasdad π
LightbriteParticipantCTLAWYER, WOW!!! Thank you for sharing. Just wow!
LightbriteParticipantBased on what I’ve understood thus far, if you had meat from the same cow…
and could choose eating a raw steak, or some freshly chopped meat (in the first seconds or minutes after grinding, as in CTLAWYER’s home)….
you’d be better off eating the steak or fresh homemade chopped meat than store-bought chopped meat…
because part of the danger comes with bacteria growing on meat that’s been exposed to oxygen and pathogens… (citation internet articles and Wiki)
LightbriteParticipantiacisrmma: Thank you for sharing! π
Wondering… Did you ever inform your uncle about the risks of eating raw chopped meat?
Or would bringing up the dangers here be considered condescending, and especially since the information would be coming from his nephew?
LightbriteParticipantI do believe you’d be a 1998 desk. The 1997 desks typically bear triangle, not left like more recent generations.
September 17, 2017 6:50 am at 6:50 am in reply to: Is it unprofessional to use emojis at work when emailingππ€‘πβοΈπ₯π€πππ¦π #1364892LightbriteParticipant***Please note: If you work for an organization, and talk about it, can you refer to it as “our,” as I did in my response to the OP?
If not, then please read it as, “the organization”
Thank YOU π
LightbriteParticipantWas it after Noah that Hashem said that you can eat animals? Or after Adam and Chavah were expelled from Gan Eden?
LightbriteParticipant… also the quantity of infected meat, or proportion of it to the human ingesting it and that human’s health and age, one eats can affect whether or does or does not register ill effects.
LightbriteParticipantPopa, are you talking about evolution?
Even if they did, that doesn’t negate the current health risks associated with eating raw meat. Landscapes changed. Animals changed. Farming was invented. Animal agricultural. Breeding. Domestication. Waste waters. Sanitation. Backyards. Transportation. Housing. Genetic adaptations… all come into play and may affect whether or not a meat is contaminated, and whether or not one will be directly and/or indirectly adversely affected by its consumption.

September 15, 2017 6:42 pm at 6:42 pm in reply to: Why did Hashem give us two ears but only one mouth? #1364791LightbriteParticipantAnd our two ears are located at opposite sides of our face, with one on our left side and another one on our right side, so maybe we need to listen with both binah and chochmah?
LightbriteParticipantCTLAWYER: You don’t mind the health risks? Did you let your children, when they were young, eat raw chopped meat?
Do you eat it uncooked chopped meat because you’re tasting it to be sure that it’s the right mixture of flavors too?
LightbriteParticipantMeno: To answer your question, my friend said that she doesn’t do it with steak “because chopped meat undergoes processing,” so “it’s safe.”
Her answer still left me wondering.
——
Forget E. coli and Salmonella risks, people can get parasites from eating raw meat too.
Just from looking up Steak Tartare on Wikipedia, this lovely risk came up:
“Parasites [from consuming infected Steak Tartare]
“Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that may be found in raw or undercooked meat.[11] Cultural differences in raw meat consumption are thought to be a cause of regional variation in the prevalence of toxoplasma infection (ranging from around 55% in France down to 10% in the United Kingdom).[12]
Due to the risk of congenital toxoplasmosis in the fetus, pregnant women are advised not to eat raw meat.[13] Latent toxoplasmosis in adults, though not as harmful as congenital toxoplasmosis, has been associated with psychological effects[14] and lower IQ[15] in some studies.” (Wiki on Steak Tartare)
LightbriteParticipantThanks LU π
LightbriteParticipantMy friend doesn’t care what the USDA says. Personally, I wouldn’t eat raw beef or advise anyone to eat it.
The thing is that in her family, eating raw meat while taste-testing was normal, kind of like how people used to eat raw cake batter (but now we’re advised against it because of the risks from eating raw eggs)… granted, I think people generally eat raw cake or brownie batter and cookie dough because it’s delicious… rather than to necessarily taste for what’s missing.
September 14, 2017 8:49 pm at 8:49 pm in reply to: Some boys do better shteiging out of yeshiva WHY? #1364082LightbriteParticipantMaybe because he is better able to focus in his local shul.
He may have a closer relationship with the rav at his shul, or have more one-on-one attention.
He may have less distractions.
The local shul may be closer to home and more conducive to the other parts of his life.
He may feel more comfortable at his local shul, which may come with less pressure than learning at his yeshiva.
Many reasons…
LightbriteParticipantWhat is available in Flatbush/Boro Park?
When looking for a storage facility, do you take into account risks related to humidity, insect infestations, and/or looting — G-d forbid?
LightbriteParticipantI also err on the side of caution and generally would advise against dealing with Craigslist…
Against Craigslist… especially when you want to see your belongings again, want to ensure your personal protection, and can expect to be giving the storage facility personal information such as your name, address, and possibly credit card data.
LightbriteParticipantDid you see the meme that says, “If all world leaders were women, there’d be no wars, just a whole bunch of countries not talking to eachother.
