Depends on the age of the bochur. In my mesivta days in the mid 1970’s, the mesivta bochurim in my yeshiva were not allowed to have beards. Shaving was considered normal back them. And yes the shavers were not lift and cut.
“but Rabbi Moshe Feinstein permitted it at weddings based on the Pesach seder.” what is your source for this?
“miss out on a once on lifetime event”. Same line was used in 2012 by the previous siyum.
Does english as spoken by someone from the UK sound different then someone in the USA? how do you pronounce schedule? ˈske-(ˌ)jül or she-(ˌ)dyül. Does american english sound different in the northeast USA and Southeast or Midwest? Same thing in Hebrew, dialects develop.
No I do not like “all” pizza. preference thin crust, sauce and either mozzarella or muenster cheese
BaltimoreMaven: and how much traffic do you expect on a legal holiday like New Year’s day?
ITP22: “did not operate at a loss in the past 10 years was 2012” coincidence that was the year of the last siyum).
Funnybone: Some people agree with your opinion; others with GH.
I wonder if the OP would have written his/her comments if SY Rechnitz attended. As already noted Ruby Schron attended (one NY real estate mogul) supporting a former NY real estate Mogul.
No one person donated $5,000,000. Individuals were charged a certain fee for attending and that money was supposed to be sent on as political contribution. I do not believe I have any “right” to ask these individuals why they chose to spend their money this way.
How about “not everyone wants to go”.
apusatayid: what if there is a massive snow storm that shuts down public transportation or roads leading to Seacaucus?
However, since the actual day of for daf ayin gimmel in niddah is shabbos parshas vayigash, sponsor a kiddush in your shul for your own siyum celebration.
No.
YA: Sorry YA but IMHO it’s called hypocrisy.
GH: is this the first time you noticed this phenomenon in “thread bumping”?
YA: Define ancient mesorsa please.The whole movement we know as chasiddus starts with the Baal Shem Tov and is what 300 years old??
GH: 1. At one time Moishas online/fAX service did not honor the sales prices as was clearly stated on their website (i am not sure if that is still in effect).
2. I and many others prefer to see meat, chicken, and fruits and vegetables before we buy them.Years ago, Moishas and KRM tried the leave 1 bag of groceries as a deposit fo the wagon and then come back for the bag when returning the cart.
I am not sure if what I am about to write is halachically correct but my sevara is that once you pay for your groceries and take the cart to your car you become a shoel (borrower) and are responsible for any damage or loss except “meisa machmas melachah” (I.e. wheel falling off the cart).
Unkelos as printed in the Mikraos Gedolos has בּר סטי וּמָרוֹד

YA: While he started calling himself the Rebbe of Satmar it was a continuation of the sigheter chassidim.
YA: Nothing is “wrong” with saying Israel. I was taught many years ago to refer to it as Eretz Yisroel. Why does it bother you so much how I refer to it?
yabia Omer: Prayer book or siddur? chumash or bible? David or Dovid? Moses or Moshe?
for the shidduch resume.
BlueLotus:
The OP stated that the guests are not allergic to any ingredient.1: The OP stated it is being servedn as part of a meal where people are washing and eating bread.
yy: NYC provides for curbside collection.
DSNY provides free regularly scheduled curbside and containerized
garbage and recycling collection services for every residential household,
public school, public building, and many large institutions in New York
City. Curbside sites are collected either two or three times per week
and containerized sites are collected from one to three times per week,
depending upon individual need, which is based on population density.Because they wont come into a private driveway and take it out for you.
Just wondering if your trash pickup is shabbos day, do you not put it out because maybe the sanitation person is a yid?
As happens many times in the CR, the original question gets derailed based on the responses. The OP asked about what a typical frum family spends on groceries. The OP did not define groceries but some took this to mean food only without any non-food but necessary items. Also we dont have a reference to “typical”. Most members of my household are adults (both medioraisa and under secular law). KG has shown a way (although I do not agree with some of his choices) that it is possible if you severely limit your food purchases (no meat, chicken or fish most of the week) obvious small portion sizes then the food bill alone can be around 160-175. However, most people I know do noyt limit the word groceries to food items only.
KG:”One onion one carrot a zucchini and a parsnip cost more that $3??
My recipe calls for celery 2 to 3 carrots, 2 zucchinis and two to three onions and dill and turnip too. The children like the soup vegetables.. Oh i forgot under your budget plan the children dont get any extras of food they like. And where do you get a bag of beef bones for $2?no. american cheese in the pasta. its called mac and cheese
quite tasty reallyNot in my opinion. Im not a mac n cheese fan. at least not american cheese.
(if you cant figure that out, then just cook for six and throw out the extra 2 portions)
How about being clear when you post! throw out the extra portions – ever heard of Baal tashchis.
Klugeryid: Let me try to figure out who and what you are feeding.
Let’s talk numbers of possibility
Family of six children
Two Dozen eggs $2
Bottle milk $2.40
Cream cheese $4
Two boxes macaroni (constantly on sale at shop rite) $1.76
Total $10.16 and you’ve fed your family amply. Times five days $50.80 for the week
You can add whatever you want to this basic.
Brick of cheese $14
Bottle ketchup $3
Three orange juice $9
2 Family packs of chicken bottoms $24
Package of hot dogs $10
Fruits and vegetables $50
Total $160.80
Without shabbos.
Why is $150 so hard to be true for a family of four children?
I left out by accident
Three -2 pound loaves of bread (more than enough for a week)
So add another $10 to my list
Making the basic cost $60
Take off a family pack of chicken and you are still at the 150-160$ a week range
*********************************************************
First are you feeding a family of eight with six children or a family of 6 with 4 children? You post says both .“Family of six children”
“Why is $150 so hard to be true for a family of four children?”What is the menu? Cream cheese sandwiches and scrambled eggs for breakfast?
Whats for Lunch? And not every yeshiva provides free lunch for its students.
Dinners ? 2 family packs of chicken bottoms yields 12 quarters – if it’s a family of six that’s two dinners. Last I looked there were 6 dinners in a week. Are you only serving pasta the other 4 nights with no protein (ie fish or meat?) 1 pack of hot dogs (8 pack or 16 pack?) Most people I know eat two for dinner. Family of six needs 12 so you will either need three 8 packs or 1 16 pack and 1 8 pack for two more dinners. Pasta 1 16 oz box is 8 servings 2 boxes might make 4 dinners for 6 people f they only eat the serving size.
No breakfast cereals allowed? No fats (oil, mayonnaise, butter margarine? Sugar, salt, spices?
What about non-food items – toothpaste, laundry detergent, dishwashing detergent, health and beauty aids (shampoo, soap, deodorant, feminine products, tissues, toilet paper, paper towels, napkins).BTW., when you say children do you mean toddlers, under 10 or teens? Do you know how much teen boys eat?
As fort shabbos can of tuna (1 can for a family of 6?). %4 meat for chulent? I have to ask if your chulent is pareve as $5 worth of meat might be battul b’shishim to the rest of the ingredients.
I suggest you rethink your list.
ubiquitin: This is almost a daily occurrence.
“Is this pure Torah event or a massive fundraising event? It can’t be both.” The last siyum already proved it can be.
rational: It’s possible that the briskers are machmir like the mechaber in OC 123:2 (also see the Rama)
http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=49623&st=&pgnum=286
http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=49623&st=&pgnum=287
What section of the VTL are they citing on the violation?
GH: The building on Lydig and Barnes Avenue (2126 Barnes Avenue) continued as the YIPP until about 10 years ago when it was sold as the costs to maintain the building far exceeded the shules annual revenue.
You ddn’t mention Chazzan Samuel Vigoda.
If it is a definite halacha say something but if it a halacha where there is a machlokes poskim and some follow one opinion or the other ask a rav for guidance. For example, standing or sitting by kiddush. Halachah to sit but many people have a minhag to stand (ARIZAL). not eating foods with vinegar between Rosh Hashanah and (Yom Kippur and for some until shmini atzeres). Minhag or halachah?
I have heard that since we lein vzos haberacha and the hebrew word for cabbage כּרוב which has the same osiyos as בּרוך.
laughing: The OP stated outright “None of them are allergic to any of the pasta’s ingredients.”.
Call the Star-K for clarification
I know someone who told his chaver on Simchas Torah after chosson bereishis May you be zocheh to stand under another chupa this year, and that year the chaver’s daughter found her zivug and he takeh stood under another chupa that year. Just shows that a birkas hedyot given with the best of intentions can be mekuyem.
I have made numerous chasunahs B”H and have not heard of this. We generally have the chosson/kallah come with us to help choose the siblings suits mostly “blue” or dark gray but not black (unless a black suit was just flattering to the siblings body type).
Lightbrite: from what i heave read it is specifically Spanish olive oil, not all olive oils.
Koltuv: I don’t know if it till true today but the CRC back in 2016 sent out a kashrus alert stating that Tomer was not-glatt kosher meat and not recommended. At one time, in the US, “hamon ahm” was not machmir on glatt.
I guess you should buy your supply for Simchas Torah before October 18th.
I would have to see it before I made a decision.
Yes. Most containers state that it van be used up o one week after the expiration date. If it smells ok and not discolored its possible it is still good but I have my doubts. Based on my personal experiences.
Some read it but misinterpret it.
