Will Hill says;
‘Women wearing real-looking sheitels are clearly doing so with ulterior motives. Be wary of them.’
Thanks for the laugh and I cant stop,,,,
would you mind being a
little more specific in what you mean by ‘alterior motive’ and ‘be wary of them’? LOL
I
‘Somehow, women associated illicitly with Kennedy men seem to end up dead.’
Well then its no coincedence, How do you know that it wasnt a cold blooded murder??
The following is an early ‘New Year’ wish. Relevant, but humorous,,,,
May your occupation, whatever it may be, homemaker or doctor, lawyer or tailor, house husband or stock broker, give you much satisfaction.
And may it also earn you enough money to send your children through college and graduate school, and to support them ever after.
May you see a rainbow, may your child hit a home run with the bases loaded, may your team score a touchdown.
May the Sabbath Queen enter your home and enable you to follow the teachings of the Torah with love.
In this New Year that now begins, may your hair, your teeth, your facelift and your stocks not fall, and may your blood pressure, your cholesterol and your mortgage interest rate not rise.
May you win the lottery, and thereby acquire a host of long lost relatives, and may you remember Beth Tfiloh when you win.
May Israel stop being the punching bag of the United Nations. May it be able to live a normal life at last. And may it bless the world with its morality, its wisdom and its creativity. And may we support her wholeheartedly, and love her because, with all her faults, she is family.
And may we meet on the streets of Jerusalem in the year to come, and if the Messiah arrives, may we recognize him or her.
May this year be happy, healthy and prosperous for you and your loved ones.
I remember when
Iwas dating it was proper for the boy to call the girl directly and set a date. Today, in many circles (nOT JUST BY THE CHASSIDIM), the shadchan arranges the meeting zithout the tzo young people speaking by phone beforehand…Jewess,
HERE, HERE!
Well maybe this story will shock you more, actually I posted it on another blog but nevertheless:
A little boy of about 9 years old ran out to the garden of his shtiebel during leining one Shhabbos to play. When he returned to the Bais Medrash, he noticed that an elderly man had occupied his seat. H e politley claimed his place . A few minuites later, the father of that little boy approached the elderly man and said, ,yes, this indeed is my boy,s seat, please find somewhere else to sit,
So if parents dont enforce basic DE for others, how do you expect the kids to have it?
Can you be CURRENTLY reached by email?
JOJO,
The Bais Yaakov system was the same 30 years ago as it is today.Intense learning in all areas of limudei kodesh, with difficult meforshim was very common always.
Its always good to know a little bit of everything !
I totally agree with Joseph. No good will come out of this!
Besides ‘Ain Chodosh Tachas Hashemesh’
Disputes amongst us have been going on since the beginning of time and an article like this, although its meant with the best intentions can only lead to more damage.
dont you think it would be more logical to restrict these youngsters from certain blogs instead of catering to them instead of adults?
Couldnt agree more! The most shocking part of the whole thing is, that instead of telling her to bring this issue to a professional, some adult posters are discussing this with her as if she is a grown up.
This would be the best example of how internet can harm children.
Why doesnt YWN make a special blog just for youngsters?
Matisyahu,
I will thank you not to play the ‘spin card’!
When I said ‘sick…..’ I was referring to the manner in which you alluded a woman should stay in doors, even if mitzvohs require that she be out!
I still say that the shiur I heard from rav Twersky is as I rpeated it!
Is it possible that your not aware of everything?? Throwing around expressions like ‘absurd and am haaratzish’ is not just Gaavah(which btw, is something the ALMIGHTY hates) but it might fall into the category of ‘Hamalbin….(welll, you know what that leads to RL)
Choose your words carefully my friend, and make sure to get your facts straight before your choished someone of misinterperting anything(choised biksheirm, wow! I must say for someone who preaches how we should go about life here in order to achieve there, your not giving a very good example)
Thridly, if your intimidated by the knwoledge many woman have, it still doesnt give you areason to demean anyone with falsities!
I personally am not jealous at those who flaunt their swanky lifestyle. I envy those who are able to give tzedakah in massive amounts!
I think THAT type of jealousy is ok. Our sages tell us ‘Kinas Sofrim, Tarbeh Chochmoh’
So people, next time you have the urge to ‘outdo’ your rich neighbour, never mind the lexus. Instead, give an abundance of tzedakah, publiclly(even if giving it quietly is a bigger mitzvah) because then you’ll encourage your competitors to do the same thing and at the same time, the less fortunate wont be jealous but will admire you. Even if they are jealous, that jealousy would be ok.
Everyone is happy:)))
Good idea, isnt it?
The Din is leather. I have been wearing canvas shoes all through the years, before cocs were invented. Let me tell you, they are sometimes MUCh more comfortable than leather shoes. I remember one year I was wearing plastic shoes which looked EXACTLY like leather (this was on YK). People were wondering , and I asked a Rav who said there is no inyen of Maras Ayin in this case, I can wear whateve as long as its not leather.
sorry, ‘Shisho Chamishe Torah’
Should pro-freikeit commentors be given a voice?
Why not?? Why are you so intimidated by people who have questions? Answer them with confidence and dont forget you have the Torah on your side so there is no reason for them to get to you.
Cantoresque apparantly thinks that because he MIGHT be able to say a nice ‘Shma Koleinu’ on Yom KIPPUR, he is worthy of having Maran Harav Hagodol Rav Chaim KANIEVSKY call him on his cell phone to confirm a story he was involved in because he doubts the credibility of the mesenger(a prominet Rebbetzin)
Wolfishmusings turned Chamishay Chumsha Torah into Shishei Chumsha Torah. His latest Addition? THE GUINESS BOOK OF RECORDS..
Rabbi of Berlin wants an apology because he thinks I insulted him for BLANTANTLY deeming a story told by someone in the name of Rav Kanievsky a ‘fairy tale’.
I mean; who are the challengers here exactly?
Matisyahu,
That was a wonderful expose’. I can imagine what your Bar Mitzvah Pshetel was like. You probably ‘knocked their socks off’.
Seriously, you did quite well until you tackled the following issues.
No, I dont think I misunderstood Rav Twersky. The fact is that Hashem is a Baal Rachamim, and it makes perfect sense for us to be able to speak in our defense by pointing out all our mitzvohs and Maasim Toivim in order to lessen our final psak. Did you know that if a person lived his life as a Rosho and is choizer Betshuva on his deathbed, everything is deleted? (Ad Yom MOSO tICHAKEH lo…..)I stand to be correctd, but I think every Jew gets a MAXIMIUM of an hour gehenom, regardless of his deed.
There was a story recently about a secular Jew who was cliniquely dead for some time, they send him back down because he had certain zechusimn, now he became abaal teshuva. Here is the link:http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7332930594849349840&hl=en
Your right, as I mentioned before, my reaction was a bit harsh. But please dont play ‘physcologist’ and tell me that I’m a feminist. What I meant to say is that a woman can be soiche to do mitzvohs OUTSIDE, AND be an Akeres Habayis. Assuming other wise would border on the ‘American Shtus’ of Male chauvenism. Pleae dont let yourself be brainwashed by secular society and understand that women have mitzvohs that might require them to be outdoors, and YES , after my time, I plan to excuse myself for being ‘oiver’ on Kol Kevudah…(in the literal sense) very confidently. May no JEW every transgress anything worst.
Gut Voch to you,
NOW,,,,
Its not a Posuk, its a Chazal!
Whatever the case, please tell means in the figurative sense and be kind enough to verify it,,,,
