    First of all Mod-25. Please meet LU. She is adorable. Also the queen of lashon hara.

    Really it is pretty cool that you have the number 25. Two plus five equals seven. Seven equals Shabbat. The seventh day.

    The coolest thing is that you have a legacy. You must have been put here to complete a mission.

    One that only the Mod-25 neshama can fulfill.

    25 also rhymes with Alive. Jive. Beehive. Chive. and Dive.

    Then again, sorry that wasn’t validating of your feelings. You came here new and suddenly all these posters are wondering if you are someone else. Then you find out that your Mod name number is a recycled jersey. Etc.

    Do not compare yourself to anyone. This is your journey.

    You inherited a name. In Judaism this has great meaning.

    A Prepper. Like the people who are literally preparing for the end of the world.

    They generally have a least a few of the following:

    -Bunkers or secret hiding locations in strategic areas

    -An action plan, which may be shared with family, and hidden from neighbors

    -Enough water and non-perishable food to last for months to years

    -A deep need to prepare for a disaster

    -Mistrust of the govt’s ability to provide for him/her/them in times of disaster

    -Walkie talkies

    -Weapons

    -Maps of evacuation routes

    -An excessive collection of flashlights, generators, and/or camping gear for the exclusive use of an impending doomsday

    Someone may stop doing the aveirah for the short term, but it risks the person later being disillusioned, resentful, and going the other way.

    There is a saying that the action will lead the heart to wanting it.

    Does it always go that way in the long-run?

    Ooops I did that today at the grocery store. Someone at the checkout asked the checkout person if there was an Italian take-out restaurant nearby.

    That checkout person turned around and asked my checkout person. The checkout person told them an Italian restaurant in a city 15-10 min away. He wasn’t sure if they did take out.

    So I went over there and told them of a place that I knew. It’s an Italian restaurant that always puts flyers on my front door, which go straight to recycling. I actually saw one in someone’s office earlier this afternoon.

    I thought that it was totally Hashgacha Pratis. Thus, I went over to them and gave them the name of this place that does take out and delivery.

    Yepp yepp totally did not mind my own business here.

    I know someone who grew up frum and goes to kiruv events to make friends and learn.

    He told me that he is not eligible for the cool fellowships where people go on trips to other countries for a couple hundred dollars if they just learn for X hours for X weeks because he came from a frum household.

    At the same time, he told me that he sometimes struggles with keeping Yiddishkeit 100%. Yet since he went to Jewish schools growing up, the donors who pay for the secular Jews to learn overlook him as part of the program.

    So from what he told me, it sounds like at kiruv events, he is an outsider insider.

    I have a book of tehillim with the name of a Guf place to pray for on its cover. It’s vintage.

    Someone told me that it was a place and I don’t remember what happened to that place. I think I brought it with me.

    Did they sell books of tehillim for Gush Katif?

    Are they selling books of tehillim for Amona?

    Meno: I think I am wrong about why they did it. I read a couple things and maybe misinterpreted it.

    From Kosher Today:

    “According to Rabbi Moshe Elefant, COO of the Orthodox Union (OU) Kashrus Division, certified kosher K-Cups used in the machines no longer have the OU symbol on the individual cups although they remain on the boxes that they come in.

    Thus, a kosher consumer who randomly finds a K-Cup without a box may inadvertently be using a non-certified K-Cup causing one rabbi to suggest that the user of such a Keurig machine might have to refrain from using the machine for 24 hours, run a kosher K-Cup through the machine and even kosher the two metal pins.” (Kosher Today)

    If it is kosher, then the label would be on the box of k-cups, not individual packages.

    The OU stopped labeling the individual cups because it could be misleading. If someone used a non-kosher k-cup right before the person comes in with his/her k-cup, then the Keurig machine would not be kosher; thus the coffee also wouldn’t be kosher anymore.

    Takahmamash: Does machlokes also mean that “there is solid halachic backing to hold either way” (takahmamash)?

    If something is a machlokes, it is a debated argument with opposing sides; do each sides always have a solid argument that one can follow?

    Or do some machlokes come to a consensus that we do it __this__ way?

    For example, the whole debate about a mezuzah going up vertically vs horizontally. Eventually it was decided that we affix mezuzot diagonally.

    —-Was and/or is that a “machlokes”?

    Maybe a toot (tut) sadeh is similar in language to…

    tapooach adamah (potato)

    tapooach etz (apple)

    Tapooach is the fruit… apple of the tree and apple of the earth. Unless it means another word.

    So toot sadeh is the berry-like-fruit-maybe of the field.

    Is there any other toot? Toot of the sea? Toot of the desert? Toot of the tree?

    It’s not a traditional thing. Not orthodox or anything.

    Just a thing that some people do that isn’t tied to Judaism, per se. Just want to include their dog.

    Thus far I know of one person, indirectly, whose dog had a Bark Mitzvah. A doggie tallis and everything (just a piece of fabric with a Magen David, for show).

    Btw, learned two things today:

    1) The dogs did not bark when the Jewish nation (Israelites at the time before matan Torah (“giving of the Torah”) but one people) left Egypt. Because they restrained their voice, which was very hard for them, we give them treif meat when there is an uncertain shaila (question) on whether the meat is kosher or not, and in cases where the slaughter wasn’t kosher for sure.

    We don’t give meat to the frogs, because while they jumped into burning ovens, that was not as difficult for them as a dog holding back his/her bark.

    Learned this from today’s Torah Anytime shiur on animals and the parsha Bo.

    2) From a Chabad rabbi today, I learned that the meaning of the dogs not barking is that the Jewish people left Egypt in peace. That was the miracle of the departure. It was daytime and the dogs did not bark for they let the Jewish people leave in peace and tranquility.

    Yepp yepp.
