Hizaharu bivnei aniyim shemeihem tetze Torah.
DY: I assume that someone who simply can’t afford it would be the rov.
My unscientific observation is that the children of the full tuition paying gvirim, (those young motivated go getters who got where they are because they are very aggressive) have a much higher incidence of ADD.
But don’t you just love the guys who say, “Not to mention . . .” and then they go right away and mention it!
I think that if one is called a Ferd by someone whose screen name AND subtitle contain the word ferd, he should not be too insulted. Like when members of a certain race call each other the N word all the time and its perfectly fine, kind of as a professional courtesy.
That wasn’t even remotely all my point. (Ayein b”Rush Limbaugh, demonstrating absurdity by being absurd.)
My point was that surely Rabbeinu Tam would also recognize that Rashi Tefillin are fine and kosher. Yes, using the expression Karkafta etc was over the top, but saying that Rabbeinu Tam held that his zaida Rashi was not yotzei tefillin his entire life b’shogeg is almost equally absurd!!
I have confidence that our dear friend Popa, whose own absurdity I was responding to, understood the point I was trying to make.
Did Rabbeinu Tam think that his maternal grandfather, the Gadol Hador, was a karkafta d’lo manach tefillin, what Chazal call a Poshei Yisroel Bgufo? And what Tefillin did Rabbeinu Tam wear at his Bar Mitzvah? Surely at that age he didn’t dare argue on his Zaida!!
Good old Reb Doniel will decide who belongs in kollel and who does not. What learning is valuable, and what is not. Probably worked it all out during the time he saved by skipping piyutim at the mixed seating shul that he’s trying out as the Chazan.
Surely wherever you’re trying out has some kind of Mesorah. Please don’t me meshaneh.
MSS laid the bait, and AZ responded. So (s)he did contact them directly!!
“And that’s a campaign promise!!” Mayor Figalely La Gardenhose, When Zaidy was Young, Vol II
Hey its warming up here! Gonna be in the upper 50s by Shabbos! Perfect weather for walking to a Shalom Zachar!
Es iz oich nisht mein gesheft, but I think that your point was clear in the first three paragraphs. Why was the nasty add on at the end necessary?
In the words of that sage, the late Rodney King, “Can’t we all just get along?”
Gefen: I was at the local collection in my town on Sunday afternoon. To me it looked like a lot a people took the opportunity to get some early spring cleaning done.
I hope that the school opens so the children can learn how to spell!
If I had a dollar for every thread started in the last week blaming the hurricane on Gay marraige . . . !
If she is born from a Jewish mother, there is no prohibition against her marrying a Kohen.
In halacha l’maaseh, we do not pasken that Akum v’eved habah al bas Yisroel havlad mamzer.
Oomis’s eitzah would work at tables of 8 or 12. But as most tables at most halls seat 10, the math doesn’t work.
Not quite sure why BaalHabooze butted in to a private conversation.
Wookie jooky comes from Marvelous Midos Machine by Abie Rottenberg.
My favorite Kunda line is when Mayor Figalely La Gardenhose says, “And that’s a campaign promise!”
Yes, interjection, I agree. But it is important for men to focus on the Venutian parts of the book, and for the women to try and understand what Martians are like. But if you read it to try and figure out how the other person should treat you, rather than vice versa, that can be a recipe for disaster.
Also important to note that there are very few 100% Martians and very few 100% Venutians. Most people have a mixture of the various traits. I know that personally I come from Mars but occasionally feel like having a Venutian moment. My wife on the other hand does sometime offer very Martian like advice! (Especially if you ask some of her sisters!)
The source is Avos D’R Nosson first perek. The tana is elaborating on Asu Syag Latorah. He mentions there four people that made chumros as a syag Latorah. The other three had positive results.
The mi sheberach for Behab is said on the first Shabbos in Cheshvan which is not on Rosh Chodesh. That would be on Parshas Noach this year. So Behab is Monday and Thursday of Lech Lecha and Monday of Vayera. It is always done on Parshas Noach unless Rosh HAshana/Sukkos/Shmini Atzeres is Thursday. On those years Parshas Noach is Shabbos Rosh Chodesh. So the Mi sheberach is said on Lechlecha. Behabe would then be on Monday Thursday of Vayera, and MOnday of Chayei Sara.
Shimusha rabba
If it took less than an hour and a half, it was probably so unclear that it was a waste of time.
I think va’era is very difficult. So many sections begin with the same words but different trop. Many times it says Emor el Aharon, or Netei es matecha, or several other common phrases, each of which has different trop.
Wolf: C’mon, you should know the difference. The nesi’im are exactly the same as each other. But the mussafim are just a bit different each day!
Or metzitza b’peh, as was voted on by the same board of health in the same session.
R’ Nosson Tzvi’s grandfather (R’ Avrohom Shmuel Finkel) and his wife’s grandfather (R’ Leizer Yudel Finkel) were brothers, sons of the Alter of Slabodka. He was therefore a second cousin to his wife.
I know mishpachos of very choshuve people that have done so. I even know of a mishpacha m’yucheses bYisroel that has 10 children. In that group are 2 brothers married to sisters, and two sisters married to brothers.
I think Popa is using the word malshin as a verb rather than a noun. He’s not giving him that name. He is only describing the specific act of going to the government against a portion of mitzvas mila as an act of malshinus. Hence he was (lower case) malshin, as in one who engaged in specific course of behavior. Not (capital) “A Malshin” as in a nasty pejorative. (which may also be true).
There was a thread already up on this.

Chabad propoganda.
Loads of Uncle Moishy songs are parodies.
We’re a family and like a tree . . .
Willaby WOllaby . . .
And so many others. Not sure what the chidush is.
Can you use wine weeks after opening for cooking? I have a really good wine that I opened a couple weeks ago for shabbas and I feel bad throwing it out.
So where are you, Dunwoody?
Unless there is something I don’t get, not sure how one can be successful building a kehilla if one bases a RH Drasha theme on anything associated with Austin Powers.
I must be getting old if V’zakeini Legadel is already a classic!!
There was a boy in the family with a yarmulke . . . .
The NY Jets also bring about achdus.
It was right to be malbin pnei chaveiro barabim like that?
Ahhh! The innocence of the Pre-Joseph/AYC/Jothar witchhunt days! We used to be able to ask these questions.
I know about 8-10 regular posters. Almost all of them have one commmon denominator, we are landsleit at one level or another. There are a couple more from other places that I have figured out as well, with whom I have not communicated that information. Tried once on a thread where someone gave himself away, and I connected us (in a way that no one else would work it out, my brother in law is his uncle) but the mods didn’t let it through.
Who said anything about Chicago?
Yes I was there. Sorry I had to leave in the middle of the most entertaining speaker!!
I do remember the vort from the Alter. I think the one who said it was the host rosh yeshiva. I can’t promise it was him, because there were so many that rolled one into the other, so I may be confusing them. But I don’t remember that follow up!
Yichusdik: As a general rule, before Matan Torah, when the story of Yehuda and Tamar took place, we were not bound by the Torah. It was kept on a voluntary basis. (rofeh hametzaveh el hacholim) When one saw a spiritual opportunity, one could take advantage, even if it was not within the letter or spirit of the law.
After Matan Torah, we have no such license, unless with a navi, and a hora’as sha’ah, according to the principals of what Eliyahu did on Har Hakarmel. (Melech hametzaveh al ha’am)
My daughter got married two weeks ago. My new son in law cried like a baby. And I was happy to see that he considered it a very serious moment.
Are you missing 80 Vilna blatt, or 80 Artcroll pages? That would only be like 15-20 regular pages!!
How about the Lubavitcher Rebbe and virtually anyone else. Pretty much the same, although not quite as extreme on Rav Kook and anyone else.
Yichusdik: I never thought I’d see Ida Crown and Yeshiva high school in the same sentence.
Syag: I wrote some things about our recent shidduch. My in-house baking consultant told me I gave away too much info. It was still in the first 20 minutes, so I went in and deleted. I would’ve thought that if it’s blank, the Mods wouldn’t have bothered putting it up. Oh well!!
Syag: My talents extend to shopping for ingredients, and driving to the delivery spot. The talents reside entirely with Mrs. Midwesterner. But I’ll be sure to pass it on!!
Mazel Tov to Syag on the simcha in her family this week!! Enjoy the cake!!
Thank you very much!!! Simchos by you b’karov!!
