Wow I have never heard of that. That is an amazing segulah so interesting! I will pass it along to all my pregnant friends.
Why did Rav Shlomo forbid it?
Go to the police. Now.
I thought it was more of an old wives tale
I once asked my Rabbi in high school this question. I believe his answer was ” stay away from it”. In my opinion it is A’Z ( not that my opinion means much). I believe that though, because whatever the “results” or readings show, will spark some kind of reaction. Fear, excitement, caution. It is the belief in it that will get us into trouble. Possibly.
I got one that was summer themed. It came in a pail with a shovel attached. Inside was Swedish fish, an orange juice box, beach ball gum balls, vanilla cookies, a mini water gun filled with candy etc.
It’s not healthy to hold it in. Some people are able to just let out a little squeak, I am not one of those! I have come to accept that when I have to sneeze it will be loud and big but there is nothing I can do about it.
More of a modern yeshiva day school where my sister goes is 20,000 a year K-8.
Yes exactly. My co worker is pregnant and we spend 9 hours a day together only with a 30 minute break. I don’t expect her to hide in the parking lot and eat but she also doesn’t flaunt what she’s eating.
For pregnant women who are not fasting it is not so easy to hide on a school setting.
Soliek that is a really ignorant thing to say. If Alex’s ( making up a name)mother and father die in a car crash, is it ok a certain number of years later to laugh about it and say hey, hey, hey its been long enough kid time to get over it. No. Have a little class.
I personally use it to keep in touch with friends, mostly from high school who i other wise wouldn’t be keeping up with. ( Because of distance, and we all have families and get busy).It is also a really great way to share pictures with family. Yes of course it can be used for bad things, but so can most things. I am not friends on facebook with anyone that i think is going to post things that i do not want to be seeing. On the rare occasion, i have just ” unfriended” someone. I think it is a personal choice, everyone in the CR is going to give you a different opinion. I enjoy facebook, its fun to see whats going on in my friends lives and update them on mine.
I thought it was only the Moon. Why the Sun?
No you do not need to stay in one of the Disney resorts to get the packaged meals. I stayed in the Double Tree which is a few miles away, and still got semi-delicious wrapped prepared foods. The Double Tree is pretty well priced depending on when you are going, but Magic Kingdom is around 50 $ a person or it was the last time i went which was only 3 years ago.
aries. So well said. None of us were there, who are we to judge. Baruch Hashem we didnt not grow up in the 30’s 40’s. It is because of the women in those times, in the US, that halacha and yiddishkeit has been kept, we should be PRAISING them, rather then discussing just how short there skirts may have been, or just how many hairs were sticking out of their hats. When did Torah become a contest? I don’t want my daughters to think that the most important part of there morning is to see who can get the puff of hair in front of their headband higher, as is the concern of many a young bas Torah in BK or Monsey. Something has happened to our priorites, and it needs to change.
Before i respond, to all those arguing about frumkeit and halacha and yelling at everything being said that you don’t agree with, YOU are on the internet right now conversing with men and women. Be a little less judgmental perhaps.
I agree with those saying the women of the 60s and so on were extremely frum! My grandmother wore a scarf/hat, didnt cover every lose hair, but i can safely say was as frum if not frummer than any woman i know now! Times do change yes and we roll with the changes, and i understand that. But lets not call some of these chumras Torah. Not having a design on your boot is NOT halacha Popa, neither is the kind of nylon tights a young girl is wearing. I had a friend in a BY type school, she was told that if any of her married sisters were seen on the street in makeup, that she would be kicked out of school. In what way does this make sense? Her parents want her to learn torah, she wants to, but her older married sisters who happen to live near hers actions can result in her termination at school? I just don’t know how society got this way.
I have never gotten so frustrated reading anything on this site before. What is the point of procreating if we are not going to be involved in the child rearing? It is not the Rabbeim who are responsible for raising our children. That is our job. That is why Hashem gave us the beautiful bracha to be able to have children, and have a family. And kollel-wife, maybe YOU do not like to have dinner with your children, and maybe YOU find it hard(?) that sometimes your sons may want to go get a nosh at the store, but that is part of life. You get married, you raise a family, and you spend the rest of your days trying to build on that family and ensure YOUR values and the values of Torah within them. Why is it that so many of you want to send your young children away? So that if they go off the derech you can say ” oh its not me i had nothing to do with their upbringing?”.
And to those of you who said you dont trust parents to raise their OWN children? Who are we as individuals or as a whole to decide how ANY child is to be raised other than our own? If i want to raise my child to have no midos, nebach but that’s MY choice. That is why it would be MY child. This is a silly thread and it makes me sad that there are beautiful children out there who’s parents cant wait to send them off.
OK first of all, yes it is everyone’s preference, but to the OP…saying Christ (yemach shmo) is really inappropriate. As is acting as though Hashem is going to strike down on you if you say Christmas instead of Xmas. Especiallly those who live in the real world, in America ( not saying those are synonymous), but it is appropriate if you are greeted by someone you know is non-jewish to wish them a Merry Christmas. Yeshu was a Jew, Christianity formed itself AFTER his death. Yes it was his followers but he himself did not actually branch off and form his own religion. Saying Adolf hitler yemach shmo i think everyone can agree on, but Christ? …Not as much.
They have no purpose they have no goals. They are lazy, they clearly DONT want jobs, they are a nuisance to the community around them, and i beleive that they are losing steam fast. I went down to to go eat by Milkstreet cafe, which BTW was closed due to the OWS barricades, and i went past the protesters and was APPALLED. Aren’t they ANTI capitalism????????! They were selling buttons, hats, shirts, bags, magnets, and the list goes on. They were SCREAMING at passerby. Yelling at the police officers, who i felt so bad for who just have to stand there all day trying to keep some semblance of order. What angers me is that some people say they are so peaceful and they walk in an orderly fashion and who are we to make them leave. If you had been down there when i was 3 weeks ago you would have seen that it was chaos, absurdity, smelly, unseemly, and just UNAMERICAN. If they want to protest against our sour economy, go to washington. Even that would do no good, but at least they would be in the right place. What they are is a joke. I know so many people who have been struggling to find jobs, and have had to settle for positions which they are too qualified for. big deal. That is life. It may stink now but hopefully it will get better. Crying and decorating signs, and asking for handouts for over 2 months?? PLEASE! Go to interviews like everybody else, keep looking there ARE jobs you just need to look and maybe settle on what they isn’t what you had hoped for but it will have to do for now. I am sorry but i have no sympathy for these un american fools.
I broke off an engagement, and BH it was a very smart albeit tough decision, and i am happily married now. I just read here that someone said
“how do you know it is for the better and that it is a good thing”?. If you are engaged and know in your heart it is NOT right, and you are not happy and this is not the person you want to spend your life with and have CHILDREN with and go to bed with every night for the rest of your life with, calling it off is a blessing. Its only unfortunate that it got that far to begin with. In my situation it was a very quick shidduch, we seemed to have enough in common, everyone was getting engaged, but then weeks later i just realized it was not the person for me. I caught the person in a number of lies and (sketchy) situations, a few family members had some bad feelings about it, i just couldnt go through with it. I dreaded waking up every morning. Then i did it. BARUCH HASHEM. It was hard, it was embarassing, people spoke about me and my family. For a few months..then it was over. 2 years later i am SO happily married and in love with my husband and more mature. It WAS for the better.
Who ever is saying ” stop worrying about the money”, either is bH comfortable enough that they have no need to worry, or has not had to invest in things such as seminary yet. That is a foolish thing to say.
Anyway.
Seminary in Israel and seminary here are SO different you cant compare them. The experiences girls get in Israel is just on a different level, a beautiful level. She just got there. Please please don’t make yourself sick over this. Wait a few weeks, a few months, and youl see she will make the best friends of her life there, she will meet amazing rabbanim, she will grow spiritually. It will be great.
When i was in college even, i was 5 hours away from home and the first 3 weeks i would call my mother everyday crying hysterically, i even missed a class or two because i could not function i wanted to come home so badly, i was so mad at myself for choosing to learn so far away…at about the 1 month mark, i calmed down and realized how great it was to be so independent, and my years in school were some of the best in my life. It takes a while to grow up and get used to being away from mom and dad. Give her some time.
BUT it is perfectly ok to fret that you have just wasted 21 grand, because to most people that is a fortune.
Ok. Texting in itself is not wrong. I think parents overreact, i am not yet a parent so when i am one i will reconsider, but texting is not wrong its that ” instant gratification” creeping up, and the urgency that young kids feel. When i was in day school, ( i got a cell phone in 8th grade right after 9/11), and in highschool, they were absolutely not allowed in class, it never really happened but if someone was caught with the phone out it was taken away and not given back until a parent came to pick it up. So as far as texting in class, that shouldn’t be an option. Texting in a meeting or lecture is that persons own decision and problem, noone should be on here judging them or criticizing. If you think it looks rude then YOU dont do it. Dont worry about someone else. As far as texting boys and girls..this is what really gets me!!! If you have children in bais yaakov and the like..and allow them to know boys/vice versa/ outside of school, then catching them texting them should not be a shock. My husband used to teach at a boys school in boro park, charedi school, black and white he taught 6th 7th grade, but a lot of these kids said they ” had girlfriends”, and went on “dates”. 7th grade..i know..but still. If you have a young in a school like that, but let him spend time with girls outside of school and give him a cell phone..hes a human being what do you expect.
they are rioting…they are throwing rocks and tomatoes… these people are not “frum” people…they wear the costume but dont act the act…..
WADR, I hope you say the same thing about “Muslims” who terrorize.
I am sure he does say that about muslims who terrorize. Just because they are charedi does NOT mean what they are doing is in any way shape or form ok. And to HEALTH, you people?????? There are many different forms of tsnius, if you cant contain your yetzer harah, then LOOK AWAY. Dont you dare say it is ok to scream and YELL at young children and there families, while they are just trying to go to school and live a normal life.
I work in a school in America, and every year when i have israeli children in my class, ( modern to not religous at all), they tell me they are shocked that there are ultra frum teachers mixed with modern ortho, because in israel you are persecuted if you are not unltra charedi, and vice versa. It is SO SAD that it is that way, and for anyone to read these recent articles about the RIOTS, yes they are RIOTS, and to not consider what these charedim are doing a HUGE chillul Hashem, is beyond me. It is almost Rosh Hashana > Yom kippur, do you really think Hashem wants THIS? Or should i say do you really think Hashem will FORGIVE this?
Yes, i would really like an answer to this as well. anyone?
Ok. There are a lot of really good points here. I just have to make a correction. Aposhitermaidel…it is not always so that signs of autism do not show up until 18-24 months. I have been a teacher for many years, more specifically have worked with countless children with autism, and i can tell you that some children begin to show signs well before the age of 18 months. I work in a pre-school pre-k facility, but i do work with state organizations on evaluating younger children, to see if they are ready for pre-school. Although there is no anecdotal evidence to prove that vaccinations > autism, there ARE studies in PROGRESS that suggest that those who become autistic are BORN with it, but that since these vaccines are a BIG shock to the sytem, which any MD will agree to, that this shock brings upon the autism sooner then it would have come out on its own. There are only what some studies suggest, i found it very interesting, as i have been trying to research this topic on my own for the past 5 years.
Either way..vaccines are good, they protect our families, our children, our futures. The pros far out way the cons.
1 method of vaccinating that many people i know do, is spread them out over 9 months. Instead of getting the MMR very close together, ask your doctor if you can do one every 3 months.
