iacisrmma: Thank you. Now I wonder what that stands for?
Ayin a scissor Emes Emes Ani ?
If I had one I would want to freeze dry cooked organic peas. Plain. No seasonings. They are so tasty and so expensive at Whole Foods.
Me too, but they’re huge. And my current kitchen is a very comfy closet with limited counter-top and cabinet space.
Plus yea, right not my parnassah has bigger fish to let swim peacefully.
Some people focus on their responsibilities in Olam Hazeh. They don’t think of earning a reward for the next world, like living for Heaven. Rather, serving Hashem here because that’s what is known for sure.
Dunno, I noticed that some people focus more on the afterlife, which to me feels weird. I want to be good in this world (though I am not totally religious so I don’t know if I can reply here). I believe that our souls are immortal. Just not expecting some eternal prize for doing mitzvot. More like getting closer to Hashem.
Is that weird?And am I misunderstanding why some people fulfill mitzvot for the sake of a good life in Olam Habah?
Thanks
I like Abba_S’s suggestion:
“I would start by asking him about his relationship with his kids. Once he starts talking about them eventually the ex-wife who has custody of them will come up. “
Also, take note about the way he talks about his ex. Tone. Whether it’s pleasant or etc qualities. That may give you a glimpse of his outlook on women in general too. IMHO, even if things went sour, besides venting, hopefully there is a lot to appreciate.
Talking about his children is good. You have the right to ask and it shows that you care and understand that they are a big part of his life. It’s a smart way to lead into learning more.
Though, maybe on the other hand, he wants to have a solid relationship with you before talking about them. Either way, it could allow him the chance to open up more and show more of himself b’esrat Hashem.
B’Hatzlacha!
What if you start a group? Can you host? Or find a teacher to sponsor?
Maybe Hashem put you in charge of making it happen?
The risks are different in Israel.
Even between religious and secular Jews, depending on whether they and/or their children serve in the IDF.
It may be safer and more socially acceptable to hitchhike in Israel and totally normal to go to a stranger’s home for a Rocha tzorayeem, which is more risky in the US.
Yet then there is terrorism and missiles in Israel in the backdrop. If not physical then that alone can also psychologically damaging.
Yet ain kmo ha comradery b’Aretz. And obviously living in a holy medina can infuse one’s life with so much meaning that it affords higher tolerance to cope with the challenges.
There are so many angles here
So a box of bacon bits can legitimately sport a K?
Some people have multiple usernames.
If you are you for sure, then all you really know is that besides you there is only Joseph. All other posters including me could be a fig newton of his imagination.
Moderators may appear to be malachim in real life.
Whoa. I found 5-6% to be the understatement of the year. Wishful thinking.
Are you talking about Gets or civil divorces? Because we know that those number are quite different given that, ahem, yea, sometimes one party asserts spiritual control on that end.
Conveniently that helps boost the statistical facade that everything is Aleph-okay ba’bayeet. Again, just my opinion.
It would be good if children were taught about healthy relationships in school.
A couple foreseeable issues would be that the teacher may not know be versed him/herself in the matter, and if children learned to decipher unhealthy versus healthy relationships, they may point out troubles at home or with neighbors.
It could be cause for adults to check themselves (and how many really could handle that?)
What is the spiritual effect of restraining a child by leash like an animal?
With stories about how we have both a G-dly and animal soul, and how it is our job to elevate ourselves with our G-dly neshamah, would using animal restraints not have detrimental spiritual affects?
Is there a sheitel gemach place in Israel where women can donate hair during their time in seminary to make wigs for poor kallahs?
When not just daven dutch?
How do astronauts keep Shabbos?
I don’t eat electronics
May the holy portals be cleared for all the brachot to come through please Hashem
No it’s only proper to recite shehakol before passing out
Let it what? Keep eating without a bracha?
LU +1
Meno: That’s the kosher version
“Idol worship isn’t a bad thing altogether that’s why people do it”
That was a quote from a rabbinical student who was telling me that my joy of yoga was actually an averah. He said that if avodah zara wasn’t appealing to the masses then people wouldn’t fall into its trap.
I was responding to yehudayona. Sorry if anyone didn’t read the words before and after.
Furthermore “On weight loss and nutrition we hear that calories ingested and calories burned don’t affect your weight.” –Not what I said. I said that there is more to it. It was in reference to a poster who advised the OP to pretty much just get in shape as if there may not be other factors.
And indeed this was paraphrased by a medical doctor who was invited by the dept of anthropology as a guest to explain why certain populations of individuals are obese. Medical doctors and nutritionists understand that being healthy happens in social and environmental context.
Point is, yes if someone is in an environment that pushes one to eat eat eat and lounge lounge lounge, one will have to swim against the stream in the sense of being additionally mindful about nutrition and taking care of oneself.
Moderators… This message is important. After having certain posters, especially, weigh down on the OP’s position, posters also could find learning more would allow them to be more sensitive.
I see that not everyone wants to read. That’s a different issue.
Thanks for posting
8 month old thread about nothing.
6 month old thread::: is it possible to answer this thread saying that one comes here to just listen, when technically posting means that you’ve at least “talked” once?
Or does that not count as talking because this person only posted one time to answer the question and then receded into the alley?
Americans are literally coming to Israel to put out the fires 🙂
It’s Monday and we still have cold kosher turkey yay!
Someone with Prosopagnosia isn’t able to tell apart faces. It’s considered being like facially blind. Different story though
Bisli Bamba!
“yogurtized” is an excellent adjective!
I wanted to say that it is more runny. Then that sounded weird. The next best word was thin, but then it’s not like traditional yogurt is fat. Just thicker.
Maybe it moves faster and is less condensed than standard yogurt.
DaasYochid: Both are multicultural. They can be very open-minded and welcoming to other strains. Technically yogurt making containers need to be sanitized beforehand, like with boiling water. Otherwise whatever is on your hands and/or in that glass/ceramic/etc-ware will grow too. A milky petri dish.
DerShteygingYid: Did that affect their numbers after they made the rule? I wonder if people who went there then had to find another place where they were accepted.
-My hypothesis is that at least one moderator is a rebbetzin or like a rebbetzin. At least one gives amazing advice and it’s a shame that she must hold her tongue in the CR.
-Another is an aba whose children are grown.
-Another has a smicha and prefers not to be in front of a huge crowd, so he gives back by moderating.
-Another one started the job and then brought his/her friend in to work when a spot opened up.
Those are my guesses.
Abba_S: Sorry the world won’t stop spinning for you
iacisrmma: I’ll make a note of the time lapse only if you spell out your username phonetically please
“No one can cause anything to happen – only Hashem! (lilmod ulelamaid) “
Which is why Smokey the Bear never gets a gig in Israel
Lol bump
Break me off a piece of that shoko babka?
Anyone want to translate showjoe’s post bavakasha?
Yellow teeth is a big side effect from hot coffee.
Solutions:
-Use a metal straw when it is less hot. –
-Rinse your mouth out after.
-Tan and stay tanner. The darker your skin (works with any color) the more white your teeth appear.
-Give your friends, family, and coworkers B&W Goggles to wear whenever you hang out
Or…
-Be happy that at least you have teeth!
People may respond differently to stimulants. Also the amount of caffeine makes a difference. And one’s tolerance
People who go to Dunking Donuts coffee drive-thrus are really paying for the coffee
Who wants to define soporific?
Lol they make chocolate leben?
Yes def the plain version. I was drooling over those Lebanese round flatbread things in the shook or someplace where they make it before your eyes and then spread leben on top with zaatar and roll it up
Chocolate leben with za’star would def be interesting to say the least!
The whole healthy diet and exercise thing imho is more challenging for frum Yidden, women and men.
-Gyms are limited.
-Yoga may be considered avodah zara and thus not permitted.
-Wearing skirts also adds another challenge to working out (though yes I know that women do it despite the restrictions, but there is a big difference in range of movement compared to untznius attire)
-Shabbos is full of eating and restricts walking long distances
-Yom tovim also full of eating and lounging
-For men, prayer occupies time that could be spent at the gym
-For women, raising children and being in the home or at work limits time to take care of oneself
Yes people somehow manage. Yet there is added stress and hurdles to get through. Stress alone inhibits metabolic efficiency, adds weight to the torso, etc. Plus being so busy can mean less sleep. Sleep deprivation is another way to gain weight despite genuine efforts to be healthy.
Back in the day I did this 5am bootcamp while going to college full-time. I ran around doing bootcamp crazy routines with a yelling drill sergeant every weekday. I may have gained some muscle but lost more body fat when I stopped the program and just slept more instead. I replaced manic morning bootcamp with evening fast-paced yoga and it was a way better fit.
The whole, what you put into your body and what energy you burn = what you will weigh is a myth. There are many additional factors here.
What does a Rav’s bracha for shidduchim do? Would it potentially override any insecurities?
DaMoshe: May you continue to always have no stress and only sweet good and may that extend to your family and loved ones always and please say Amen. 🙂
Yays B”H.
