    I prayed before the last time I refreshed the page to see if the Mods updated it. I’ve never prayed for an update.

    Foremost, get married if you can and try.

    That said… thought of two nice things about being single right now:

    1) Eating with your hands

    2) Not having in-laws

    If a man is studying Torah he can hold postpone getting married.

    As for the yetzar hara not getting to him, I heard that men today simplysimply cannot reach that level of being unaffected, considering we are referring to a man who is naturally attracted then he is required to be getting married.

    Plus there is the whole a man isn’t a man without a woman and he needs to be married or at least try to fulfill his purpose in this world.

    I have heard mixed things. You are a complete person as is. Yet without your other partner in marriage one isn’t complete because the neshamah needs its other half.

    Guessing this is also important in making kefir…

    I know for making yogurt, it’s important that the bowl/dish/vessel (glass or ceramic) is sterile before use. Pour boiling water inside and out and let it sit.

    Do not touch the inside rim with your hands. Whatever strains of bacteria are in the container will grow. You probably don’t want to be consuming whatever germs are on your hands or sponges.

    This is what I thought::: Hundreds of hundreds of years ago, I thought the that it was common for one rabbi to write and send one person’s shaila to another rabbi to collaborate, at times. The teshuvos weren’t written for public access. They were written for rabbonim as a resource to help them posken. —Is that right?

    When did us regular people have access to such answers? The internet makes it way easier. I know that Ohel Chabad has records of almost all of the Rebbe’s letters for people to read.

    When did seforim of compiled teshuvos become available? To rabbinic authorities? To commoners?

    Thanks

    Listened to a shiur today on TorahAnytime. The rabbi said that Moshiach is not going to be someone expected, as posters mentioned here.

    He specified that Moshiach is not going to be coming straight out of Lakewood or anything.

    So any potential Moshiach’s should probably move out of Lakewood once they get on the straight path.

    OR… Hashem made it so that the rabbi would say this and so it will be shocking when Moshiach comes out of Lakewood.

    Like opposite day. Which one is it? Too much thinking. Eeeks.

    I remember this story from childhood! My Rebbetzin at Hebrew school was such a great storyteller:

    Esther was nervous that she wouldn’t be fair enough in the eyes of King Achasvarosh. Her dress was plain while all the other women wore fine cloths. The other women wore elaborate makeup. All Esther had was the pinprick of blood to color her cheeks and lips.

    But Hashem did a miracle. He made Esther the most gorgeous woman in the room. She glowed from her neshamah outward. King Aschasvarosh was taken by her beauty. He chose her out of everyone to be his queen.


    That story always stuck with me. I learned that my neshamah is the true beautiful thing that matters and it will color the way others see me. And the way that we perceive others. Such a powerful thing to teach little girls and boys.

    I had no clue that snuck was casual. That totally is going to change my writing.

    I don’t know if I’ve heard people say lending. I say loaning. Do they mean the same exact thing?

    I think lending is what someone does casually for another person. A loan comes with conditions, whether with formal documents or some unspoken agreement. That’s my interpretation.

    In shock, his brother’s killer spit out the mouthful of spaghetti and matzah balls he was chewing when he saw the email. Somehow someone knew. Someone that was still alive.

    At that moment he made a vow to do whatever it takes to ensure his freedom. Even if that meant killing another spy. Even if it was his brother. Or his brother’s sister’s friend’s brother.

    Quickly Oscar changed out from his checkered shirt and jeans into a white button down with black slacks. He would leave no stone unturned. Which meant that once again Oscar G. Stone would be going by Menachem M. Grossman.

    Suddenly the bas Kol reminded Rivky that she wasn’t permitted to attend the exacerbation with Mordechai ben Schnitzel. The White House was prejudice against his type.

    Rivky didn’t understand why people were so rejecting of beagles but were okay with hygienic labradoodles. It all reminded her of what Bubbe would say about what those people did to us back then (she was referring to the time when the city used red light cameras so that they can mail people fines).

    So Rivky gave Mordechai a steaming hot schnitzel and changed the oil in her neighbor’s kofermobile.

    Lauren knew it was all a lie. Mordechai was canine. Rivky was Lauren. And Bereishes was really Skyping.

    Juan Javier Jose Julio Jones said that he was too busy to talk then hung up. Rivky knew that he was up to writing with Bereishes Ben Avraham. J5’s latest question dealt with curly cords from cordless phones.

    At that she legislated that Mordechai ben Schnitzel accompany her to the event. Tragically Mordechai ben Schnitzel also didn’t have anything to wear.

    Rivky this time needed another strategy. She sent Mordechai off to the abandoned shul pool. She emptied 64 packets of instant coffee in the water. Subsequently she poured in 98.5 packets of artificial sweetener. Then left the premises.

    When Mordechai returned he looked like a brand new man.

    All violent debates aside, Rivky just couldn’t figure out what to wear to the presidential exacerbation. All she had was her white artificial Shabbos dress that got torn in the spin cycle of her artificial washing machine.

    Quick she called the rav. He gave her a heter to buy a newly used Shabbos dress from their tzadakah fund. She ordered it on Amazing Savings’s website as the 4 gallon tub of coffee brewed on her umbrella.

    After it was boiling and ready, she tossed her former white artificial Shabbos dress in the backyard kiddie pool and then dumped the 3.5 gallons of coffee on top. As the dress turned mocha, she gleefully chugged the half gallon of coffee. Then she called Juan Javier Jose Julio Jones.

    So if the rabbi knows both parties in depth, was in a position that he could do such a thing halachically speaking, then he could theoretically order two people who are ambivalent about each other to marry.

    Wow. I was thinking of his brother Rabbi Manis Friedman, shlita’s, talk where he shares the story about visiting a depressed boy.

    Everyone was telling the boy that they love him and Hashem loves him.

    Then Rabbi Friedman came in and said not to listen to that stuff. Having Hashem love him didn’t make a difference and may not necessarily be true. The truth is that Hashem needs him in this world. He is needed for his unique neshamah which is way greater than love.

    It’s def possible that both are true. Honestly though I hear “G[o]d loves you” way more from people who aren’t Jewish and are typically Christian. Of course, Christianity is based off of Jewish teachings.

    I guess that hearing it here can balance things out so that it’s associated with Judaism too.

    Thank you

    She doesn’t have to be in a rush to meet with a shadchan.

    Talking to the shadchan may help her deal with why she got divorced (selecting a more suitable mate for her for life).

    Also that wasn’t really answering her question.

    Some shadchanim specialize in helping certain populations of individuals. It can enhance their focus and pool of potential applicants.

    Then again some may do well working with anyone and everyone.

    On the other hand, others may serve underserved singles, such as individuals who have been divorced, are older, and/or have specific health issues.

    Ummmm…so I am going to rain on the parade here.

    Isn’t “Hashem/G-d loves you” a very nonTorah perspective?

    That’s what I learned. Hashem doesn’t necessarily love us.

    We have a mission here. We are needed in this world (not the same as Hashem needs us because He doesn’t need anything but we are still needed in a different way by Hashem).

    I literally drive by billboards that say “G[]d loves you” paid for by XX.XXFM Radio, the nonJewish radio station.

    It is nice to feel loved by Hashem. Everyone loves love and needs love.

    Still the whole Hashem loves you thing imho and from what I learned from rabbonim is that is not a Jewish teaching or saying.

    Okay clear skies now
