Here where I live the parents give kids alcohol and they encourage drinking. Believe it or not!
Mazca that is really the most beautiful post I have read in this thread, thank you. 🙂
Look at his character and at his personality. That’s what you live with every day.
Wolf: I’m a she. 🙂
Well as a woman, I have no comment.I just don’t know any straight thinking orthodox fellow women who feel deprived. So unless you are a woman, don’t speak for us. Thank you.
Yes, there are a lot of shabbos here. People get very used to it.
Follow your instincts. And remember that its real life not a movie, there’s no music and special effects. Be realistic.
Oops! Sorry pookie!
ROB I didn’t know dancing with the sefer torah falls into the category of dire needs. How can you compare it to famine?
I will not say anymore its pointless.
The good thing about your kids seeing sloppy drunks, when they get older they won’t be too tempted to look like that!;)
Uh…. Bygirl who said they went shopping? Pookie just said she was in jersey gardens.
What’s the average of guys people go out with before they get married?
Outoftowner don’t hate it 🙂
If women want to dance out of happiness for the torah, I personally think that they can dance at home with other women and with their little kids. But women don’t have the mitzvah of tefilin, davening with a minyan, wearing a yarmulka, or doing HAKAFOT! Men are dancing because they have to do the hakafot of simchat torah, they dance because they are happy to be doing this mitzvah. Women are not commanded to do these mitzvot for a reason.
Don’t burst my bubble!! 😉 for me its fun!
Oh well pookie! I guess I get excited with American shopping cuz I don’t live there.
Rab Moshe said that we can’t use the eruv. Here where I live there is an eruv of about 6 miles, for ashkenazim only, sefardics can use it Al yedei goy only. We try to use it the least possible for chinuch.
This is pathetic! Why aren’t women happy being women?
Okay as a woman I would NEVER take a ride from a guy and I would never give a guy a ride. Whether I was single or married, if a woman with children in the car would stop, then MAYBE…. I would consider it!
Ooh! Pookie how was the shopping?
I understand the the situation of the yeshiva boys on their way to yeshiva, sometimes in very cold weather they could be waiting for a bus to come for a while, many men on their way to daven see the young boys and it really could make a big difference in their day if they are given a ride. Just be careful and do follow your instincts!
Rob: if you are saying that it isn’t applicable nowadays due to fact that it is “only” a minhag, I can assume that eating rice on pesach for ashkenazim would fall into the category of MINHAG and therefore it is permitted?? Certain minhagim are hundreds of years old……
I stayed home for certain reasons…… My kids went today to a very nice farm with their grandmother and on Monday to a nice park.
The mishnah berurah clearly says that what doesn’t apply is not entering a bet hakneset daven. It says clearly that even nowadays it is prohibited to look at the letters of the sefer torah.
Huh?
Mods are a little shy lately! 😉
Oomis the reason that a woman when niddah has more tumah is because when a woman is tehorah she is so kadosh that when she becomes niddah she leaves a very large void.
Why is this making me laugh??!!!!!
Hey! That’s a personal question!!!;)
Really? People think we live in shacks and ride around on donkeys!:) It can’t be farther from the truth.
Whenever you want you can come to Mexico and ask around for mybat. Come to think of it it’ll probably be easier for you to find me! (less people than in NY!!)
So mods… Are you enjoying your chol hamoed outings?
Okay here’s why you can touch a mezuza and not a sefer torah:
1 the sefer torah is holier than a mezuza or tefilin 2 the mezuza has a cover, one cover is enough for the mezuza. The cover of the sefer torah recieves a high degree of kedusha, its too holy to touch. Probably if the sefer would have additional coverings a woman would be able to touch it.
The atzei chaim, the sticks that you hold it with receive a very high degree of kedushah as written in the shulchan aruch, or hachaim 141.
Ir why don’t you check in amazon if they have any cookbooks, even if they are not religious I’m sure you can adapt them to cook kosher.
For 1 dollar??? Buy it if it makes you happy. For entertainment purposes only,don’t expect to win.
Haifa: what’s LOR?
I understand what the wolf is saying. Its true it does depend on the type of person, its a not one size fits all decision.
wow! Thanx mepal!!! That’s so nice! Now …. Ill just get to NY and ask around if anyone knows a mepal!;)
Oomis maybe the problem is not the sefer torah. Maybe its for another reason, I will try to check why.
The hotels are expensive, there’s no parking, people are ahem…. Rude, don’t get me wrong I do like NY but if I have to buy an airplane ticket, rent a car, pay for hotel, etc I can really go anywhere. LA, Miami, etc.
55 55 55 55!!! all together now! 55 55 55 55!!!
Mepal to tell you the truth, when I go to the states NY isn’t always my first option.
I guess I’m missing out of all the NY area chol hamoed fun!
🙁
Only emes
It could be that they changed the law. Before you could enter the US with a birth certificate. Not anymore.
Maybe super Joe can fly them!
Oomis
I didn’t make it up its a halachah written in the mishnah berrura. Any questions take it up with with the halachah. Not with me.
Yes jothar. The world turns. But look at how many celebrities just spend like there is no end. Money could finish. Especially if they are spending faster then they could make it. (Michael Jackson)
Sukkot is a beautiful holiday!
You can travel to the US with an expired US passport to prove your citizenship. They have to receive you. But Israel must be different maybe because of security reasons.
So…. Did everyone have fun on chol hamoed today??
