A couple of points. First of all, Shmurah Matzah with the standard Hidurim is really that expensive to produce. I know what I’m talking about from the inside.
Second of all, there are precious few, if any, Poskim who would agree that machine Matzos produced today are more Mehudar than the hand Shmurah produced today. People are very very involved with every aspect of the machine as well, and to the degree that they are not there are more Shailos and issues with the Kshrus of the Matzah!
The whole issue of mass Shmurah Matzah production is not simple at all. If you want to gain an appreciation for it – both hand and machine – visit a factory with a Mshgiach who cares and ask some questions.
Q. If one horse is shut in a corral, and one is running free, which is singing, “Don’t lock me up”?
A. Neither one. Horses can’t sing.
Little Froggie is quite right. He (at least I assume it’s a he) had really toad the line on this one.

A big question dealt with by the Acharonim on this Amud is why the list of Mechitzin agreed to by all Shitos is missing Shelishis Afilu Tefach, which Rashi DH Hilchesa clearly writes is part of it as well. I suggest that it is because the list is comprised only of those Halachos l’Moshe mi’Sinai related to Mechitzin that we have dealt with thus far in the Masechta. If this is so, then the original question is answered as well.
Practical applications of Lo Yilbash. The various Shitos in the size of a Kezayis, and how they got there, and the questions on them.
I never throw away broken appliances or other things that can be taken apart. I even haul some broken things in from the dumpster. I give these things to my kids with screwdrivers and hammers and pliers etc. They can be solidly occupied for hours with them. And I don’t think that the concern that they will destroy valuable items is too great. Just make sure that boundaries are clear. Obviously, with two-year-olds (such as the one in China), all bets are off.
… when you don’t remember the last time you spent time doing either Hachanah for or Chazarah on a Shiur that you attended.
When you no longer need two irons. (One Fleishigs and one Milchigs.)
Here is how one might identify them:
Their wives wear only black hats.
They say “Oy” for Cholem but also pronounce “Sav” with a hard “T” sound.
They wear colored velvet kiparkas.
a) A Guten Erev Shabbos!
b) Amen! v’Chen l’Mar! (to men; I don’t think that I’ve ever heard “v’Chen l’Maras” or any equivalent)), or Amen! You too!
toilet paper roll. The closer one gets to the end, the faster it goes.
“Continuing on the 20 blatt ago theme, so the proof that he was a expert doctor is that he was never able to cure a mule bite.”
No, no, no. The proof that he was a expert doctor was that he knew that a certain kind of mule bite was not curable – the proof of THAT being that he was able to cure any other kind of wound.

“She shouldn’t have made brochos on something that did not belong to her.”

Try ironing the underside, with the hat upside down and the crayon on the cloth. You could also try a stiff brush, and even some gentle sandpapering could work. These last two ideas I have used with success, by the way.
“Medrashim are full with the account that the Jews had no problem whatsoever, even when both were drinking from the same source.”
LF, the earliest source for this is the Yalkut Me’am Lo’ez, written about 500 years ago. There is no Midrashic account of the famous “two straws, one glass, Jew-gets-water-Mitzri-gets-blood” which has been the inspiration for the ubiquitous kindergarten project seen this time of year. It is unknown if the YML said it mi’Sevara, or if he somehow had some source that we do not.
proper English translation – gut feelings.
Unless, of course, you play baseball for a living.
So, to recap – one explains a joke by croaking?
LAB – Kol and Kal mean precisely the same thing. Kol has a Ta’am under it, and Kal does not. Same thing with Es and Eis.
It doesn’t say THE authoritative biography. Any well-researched and documented work is authoritative. It comes from the word “authority” – as in an authority on the subject.
Is he or she Jewish?
Every one of the letters ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ? has two pronunciations – one when it has a Dagesh (dot in the middle), and one without. We Ashkenazim have only retained the two different pronunciations for Beis/Veis, Kaf/Chof, Pei/Fei, and Taf/Saf. Teimanim still have Gimel (“g” as in giant)/ Rimel (rolled “r” like the Israeli Reish, which is itself incorrect) and Daled/Dthaled. As stated above, the correct “soft” Tav is Thav (as if with a lisp), but in certain Ashkenazi countries it became an “s”. Conversely, many Sefardim dropped this pronunciation altogether and retained only the “Tav”, similar to what happened with the Gimel and Daled. Ben Yehudah adopted the Sefardic pronunciation when he officially formulated Ivrit, probably so that he Sefardim living in E”Y would accept it.
This is the worst blizzard in the Holy City in well over half a century. Barely a tree remained whole. Pargolas, roofs, and awnings are down everywhere. It is the equivalent of a three-four foot snowstorm on the East Coast. Some things you just can’t be ready for. Take Superstorm Sandy, for example.
It’s the Shedim.
Here are two of my favorite limericks from my youth (not written by me):
There once was a man named McHall
Who fell in a spring in the fall
‘Twoud have been a sad thing
Had he died in the spring
But he didn’t – he died in the fall
The bottle of perfume that Willie sent
Was highly displeasing to Millicent
Her thanks were so cold
They quarreled, I’m told
O’er that silly scent Willie sent Millicent
to the-art-of-moi:
It was noon, you buffoon!
Because THEN people would know where they were GOING!
Personally, I think that Popa bar Abba is the jerk. He’s the one jerking everyone else’s chain, after all.
As mentioned before, the order of Daf Yomi follows the order of the Mishnayos, not that of the printers of the Vilna Shas. While the order of the Gemara seems to make more sense, the order of the Mishanyos always goes from Masechtos with the most Perakim to Masechtos with the least number of Perakim, in descending order.
Big and fat? Popa bar Abba should be the last one to throw that particular stone (veha’Meivin Yavin).
At least I’m not gullible enough to think that gullible is spelled with one “l” …

I would like to remind you that ever since a certain party in Boston, it has been decidedly patriotic to set tea free.
Or you could write:
I would say I’m sorry about breaking your mug
But apologies are not really my cup of tea
While writing a rhyme ’bout your teacup
My poetry hit a slight hiccup
Then I thought of a word –
The verses were cured!
Exhilaration then caused me to leap up!
(gasp) But … but it was impossible! Everybody knows that!
And after you promised not to … (shakes head sadly)
I find this entire thread extremely offensive. EVERY SINGLE DAY, MILLIONS of innocent plants are murdered in the name of vegetarianism! And as if this wasn’t enough, now people are cavalierly discussing eating their unborn babies! Stop the madness!
And Bookworm120, “milky” and “meaty” are the way that the British – adults and children alike – refer to fleishigs and milchigs. It’s a cultural thing.
This whole thread is more than bit kooky.
What did Terach say when he beheld the carnage wrought by Avram?
Oh my gods!
A nineteen-year-old girl went to her father for advice in Shidduchim. He told her, “Actually, I’m not a good person to speak to. I didn’t do so well. Ask your mother.”
WIY – I don’t get it. My fridge is tan.
Sam2 – Um, no. All of these Masechtos were always learned in the Daf Yomi cycle. You are probably confusing this with a different issue. Namely, Shekalim had no specific pagination unlike the Bavli. When R’ Meir Shapiro first established Daf Yomi , the common Gemaros then had a 13-Daf Shekalim in the back. That is why the first couple of Daf Yomi cycles were only 2,702 days long – nine days shorter than the present one, which is based on the common printing of a 22-Daf Shekalim. (There are also 12- Daf and 30-Daf printings of Shekalim. I personally wouldn’t mind the 30-Daf one!)
Twisted: There are various theories, the most common one is that R’ Meir Shapiro wanted to finish the entire Seder Moed, just as he included Tamid, Midos , and Kinim to finish the entire Seder Kodshim. This theory fails, however, when we consider Seder Nezikin, which is missing both Avos and Eduyos. The theory of R’ Mordechai Kornfeld of Kollel Iyun haDaf is that when we learn the Halachos of Korbanos and the Beis Hamikdash then it is as if we have performed the Avodah (Menachos 110a). Therefore, All Masechtos lacking Bavli that have to do with Kodshim were included. None of this has anything to do with why the Yerushalmi Shekalim is printed in the Bavli This has to do with that which it is not much longer than the Mishnayos, which would have been printed there anyway, and therefore it was included.
The only reason why the Aramaic in the Yerushalmi is harder than the Bavli is that we’re used to that of the Bavli!
I think that they may be called sour sticks.
Number three is Chamtzutzim – a relative of sour belts.
