    At least 95% of people phrase the first line of Kaddish incorrectly.

    Most people say:

    “Yisgadal V’Yiskadash Sh’mei Raboh, B’alma Di V’ra Chir’useih V’Yamlich Malchuseih…”

    The correct phrasing of the first line is:

    “Yisgadal V’Yiskadash Sh’mei Raboh B’alma Di V’ra Chir’useih (COMMA!!) V’Yamlich Malchuseih…”

    (Granted, we say Amen in the middle of the line, but it should still be phrased correctly)

    So take the chametz out of the bags.

    Ayyyy but what about the crumbs?

    Just dump them on the ground. That’s what bitul is for. (I think – maybe crumbs are even batul automatically)

    And even if the animals are Jewish, they probably don’t mish on Pesach, so they wouldn’t eat your food anyway…

    I once went to the kosher subway in queens with a friend. I didn’t order anything so I don’t know if the food was good, but my friend ordered some kind of deli sandwich. They took out a ziploc bag containing one portion of deli and put it on the sandwich. It was very unappetizing for me. I’m not surprised they closed down pretty quickly

    in reply to: Why don't Rubik's Cubes have purple? #1143055

    Participant

    According to the internet, it seems the logic behind the coloring is that adding (or removing) the color yellow from any side will produce the color of the opposite side (e.g. white is opposite yellow, because white + yellow = yellow).

    Purple isn’t created by adding yellow to anything, and adding yellow to purple would produce something gross

    I heard a story about a professor who wanted to show his class that wikipedia was not a reliable source of info. He went on wikipedia before class and edited an article with some outlandish fact, with the intention of showing it to his class. When he actually opened the article in class, the line he put in had already been deleted.

    Avram,

    He basically said he’s surprised that there are people in Miami Beach who would get up for an early minyan.

    If I were to say, “I’m surprised there are people in MD who actually get up early to daven with a minyan”, you wouldn’t find that cynical?
