Yochie – indeed we learnt in Yeshiva. The extra-curricular stuff – like cooking cholents, etc. – was done late at night when returned to the dorm.
cherrybim – although I don’t live in Brooklyn, someone brought me gala from Pomegrante, which was pretty good.
Feif Un – our R”Y also was strongly against us making cholent in the dorm. He said that besides the fact the dorm smelled a whole week from cholent, he was also afraid that the Yeshiva was going to get the name as the “cholent making Yeshiva”……..
onegoal – indeed we had toasters & microwaves, much to the Hanhola’s dismay. We had hotplates & crockpots as well. But, since all of these things were ossur to have, as per fire department rules, they were always being confiscated. I think guys actually put a can of baked beans in the dryer once, but I forgot if it exploded. But like the magicians say – don’t try this at home…
We used to grill hot dogs in the dorm by wrapping them in silver foil & then pressing a hot iron on it. This worked for grill cheese as well, just needed a seperate iron for milchigs & fleishigs.
I usually only eat herring & kichel (or crackers) at a Kiddush. Schwartz’s matjas is the best by far. Make a l’chayim or two on some geshmake bourbon & you have true oneg Shabbos!!
I have heard it & it is really an amazing story.
Two points:
The good thing about p’tcha is that if it falls off your plate onto the floor, it’ll just bounce right back up onto your plate.
Also, I heard that people have started making pareve p’tcha out of cow’s socks…
bpt – that is a very true statement.
Wild Turkey Rare Breed is an excellent bourbon. I recently started buying the Wild Turkey 101 – which is also very good.
cherrybim – it is a bit lighter, pretty smooth, and has nice flavor. Overall very nice taste. I’m not great with adjectives in describing bourbons, but I enjoyed it. Not sure of the price, as I had it by someone’s house. I think that it available in most wine stores.
I agree, there’s no other way to drink bourbon other than straight…
Sacrilege – I only drink straight… I did have a shot of Maker’s Mark in between, but that’s only because I like variety.
Of course, this a serious position which I don’t take lightly…
Sacrilege – bourbon of the week – Pouge. I was fairly impressed with it – all-around nice taam.
I don’t think it’s a chuptza. It’s their right to charge what they want. It’s the customer’s choice to purchase the paper or not.
Kol Haolam Kulo. I agree with everything they write there!
My kids call their great-grandmothers (they should live till 120!!) Bubby ___________(first name).
I think that it’s a tremendous z’chus that have have great-grandmothers. Hitler ym”sh killed my great-grandparents, so I never had the z’chus to meet them.
These are also probably listed in the phonebook so search their names online:
Rabbi Yaakov Perlow (Brooklyn, NY)
Rabbi Mattisyahu Soloman (Lakewood, NJ)
When I was a Bochur, I was never redd to any girls who smoke, so I never really thought of the question.
I sometimes take a sleeping pill before a flight, which greatly helps…
Y.W. Editor – “Bist du meshuga” is a bit different than “are you nuts”. I assumed you heard it from him & that’s why I wanted to get an exact loshon. But thanks for the knock on Lakewood…
Y.W. Editor – although this is a great story – I highly doubt that Harav Shmuel ZT”L said – “Are you nuts?!” I think that he wouldn’t have used such a loshon.
Crocs/slippers are good for going thru security – when you need to take them off & put them back on & comfortable for the flight.
rt – I fail to see why this is a goyishe topic. Yidden for many doros have had a shot of bronfin after the fish on Friday night, as well as on Shabbos morning with their herring & kichel. Today, we’re B”H blessed with many great options of quality bourons to enrich our oneg Shabbos. What’s goyish about that?
jl – please don’t take my advice seriously. It was on a lighter note, only intended for Sacrilege, as per other threads.
On a more serious note – you need to ask questions that will help you understand if this boy is appropriate for your daughter. Before calling the boy’s refs. – make sure you know what your daughter is looking for. Based on that – come up with questions that you can ask that will help you get a picture if the boy is what your daughter is looking for.
Sacrilege – you would be surprised… It’s not so pashut to convert someone who is deeply commited to his scotch…
Did you ever ask a guy on a date what he drinks? That would be an important thing to ask. It says alot about him…
Sacrilege – you missed the most important question…. bourbon or scotch – if the guy says scotch – you send him packing….
I think that a Frum Yid can enjoy a good shot of bourbon on Shabbos or a simcha. It has nothing to do with getting drunk.
Sacrilege – I will tell you – Old Grand Dad 114 does pack a good punch….
Sacrilege – If you make it in lakewood – I’m there! With the roads full of ice & snow piles, I aint coming to the 5 Boroughs.
I think that before & after you shovel your snow – you need a good anti-freeze to warm yourself up – like Wild Turkey 101!!
BP Totty – I don’t think anyone disagrees with you. Most people who are in the parsha of shidduchim have been helped by a mentor/coach in addition to their parent’s assistance.
BP Totty – I agree parents should be the 1st stop on the advisors list. But, that doesn’t mean that it has to be the last stop. Singles may need additional guidance in shidduchim & dating coaches can help. Noone is saying that parents shouldn’t be giving advice. Of course they should!! But, if issues arise that the single needs coaching from an experienced dating coach, their help can save the shidduch.

I don’t recall any of my Rebbeim serving us alchohol at their homes when I was a Bochur. I guess it’s the Rebbi’s choice – if he wants to have 25 intoxicated Bochurim on a Friday night in his home or not… I think most of the Rebbeim’s wives have enough on Purim dealing with their husband’s drunk Talmidim…
BP Totty – although parents are always very helpful, many times – singles need to speak to an outside person for additional guidance.
memo – there’s an excellent dating coach in Brooklyn. I don’t want to post her name publicly, as I don’t think that’s right. But, ask a few singles in the Brooklyn area, chances are most know her.
estherhamalka – you got lucky B”H. Unfortunately, many singles – both young & old – need some coaching.
Sacrilege – Most kiddushim have only “vybisher” shnapps in the women’s section & the good stuff in the men’s section. So, if you see Derech HaMelech in the men’s section – you can trade him a bottle of chocolate liquer for a bottle of bourbon….
Being that I’ve never tried either nail polish remover or rubbing alchohol, I can’t give an opinion on them. But, a good bourbon tastes great even in a blind taste test…
Sacrilege – I think it’s in the Rowan’s Creek family. Always happy to share a good bourbon….
Sacrilege – here’s the Bourbon of the Week – Noah’s Mill. I had it a while ago, but then this week I had it again & was quite impressed. Decently priced with a nice taam.
tzippi – I think that criteria can be determined by each boy’s parents/Rabbeim. If they feel a boy is ready – that’s their call. My point was only that a boy’s maturity usually is connected to when he knows he needs to begin shidduchim.
ronrsr – I agree that many 18 year old girls find 18 year old boys rather immature and boring. But, then again they might find 22-23 year olds also immature and boring. My point was only – if a boy is in the mindset that he needs to get married at 18-19,chances are he’ll mature at that age, as opposed to if he knows he doesn’t even need to think about shidduchim till 22-23…
ronrsr – maturity gap is created by how we set up our system. A boy who knows that he needs to get married at 18-19 (chassidish-style) will mature at that age. If he knows he doesn’t have to get married till 22-23 – he’ll wait till then to mature…
TheChevra – that’s my point. If they have a system that’s working – it pays to see why it’s working, while our system isn’t…
tzippi – I didn’t say the girls should start at 22-23. The chassidim start the boys & girls at 18-19. If you want to copy them – you need to start the boys at the same age as the girls.
