Yay, Mendelsohns. Tastes pretty similar to when buying from store.
Kings and queens never buy new furniture. Only used antiques.
A lot of clothing, cleaning products, housewares, some brand names, a little bit of everything.
Health, your post should be in the topic of “chumras”
My post mainly adresses the problem that we have amongst us, MANY 12 years plus Yeshivah educated kids, who are cold, clueless and blase about Yiddishkeit, some nevertheless observing Mitzvos, some not, never mind Chumras. This is not according to me, it’s according to the well known speakers who are trying to be Mekarev them.
I recently listened to a shiur on Torahanytime by Rabbi Bentzion Shafier “Teaching Yirat Shamayim”. He says our Chinuch system is “building castles on sand”. We’re focusing on how to be frum to the letter (Halacha) and not why we have to be frum and what our goals in life should be, how it enriches our lives and the Gadlus of Hashem and belief in Hashem.
He says the typical good Yeshiva student when asked if they had a choice of being a Goy in public school, free to do as they please, or a Yid in the Yeshivah system, with many rules, hesitates, and worse, often answers honestly, the former. This is after many years of school.
We’re in denial about the true love of Yiddishkeit among our “good” youth. He says he gets asked regularly by “good” kids and “good” young adults (not with emotional problems or histories) “Do we really have to follow all the Mitzvos?” “How do we know?” “Why?” He feels these questions should have been answered early on in school and reviewed.
He says the basic questions that are answered which a Baal Teshuva hears in his first Kiruv class, arent touched on in twelve years of school. Then we wonder why are youth walks around clueless and aimless, and doing things by rote (I add, sometimes only publicly, unfortunately, as with the Orthoprax). Rabbi Rietti has spoken similarly, giving over necessary facts and figures that crystallize the validity of the Torah (a can of worms, an unwanted topic in many frum schools), that twelve years of school sadly never focused on.
We assume that our children understand the purpose of Jews, the validity of the Torah, and those in Chinuch gloss over it, and focus on the minutae of how to be frum and not the feelings behind it.
bomb, its along the lines of when surgery is performed on me, its major surgery. When the identical surgery is performed on you, TO ME, its minor surgery.
All depends on who is going under the knife and who the crisis is affecting.
K E B E, placing food on a crockpot works if you have a small family, but if you have a large family or lots of company and are warming several courses, its not doable.
Its upsetting to think that outsiders see us as doing risky things in the name of religion, leading to additional use of fire department and ambulance and hospital personnel. I wish there would be an easy solution. Non stop use for 2 or 3 days is more than most appliances are made to tolerate, in addition to carbon monoxide issues.
coffee addict, if you find an easier or a tastier method, please let me know. Im always looking to try something new.
ctrl, u got a job for me where I can read recipes? im coming!
I personally dont measure, but I think if I did it would be similar to below measurements.
For medium to large size roast:
Onions- 1 or 2, cut up
Garlic- half bunch
Ketshup- 1/8 cup
Honey- 1/8 cup
Paprika-1 Tablespoon
Wine- 2-3 Tablespoons
How long what degrees? I cook it on the stovetop on low flame until I see the meat looks like its starting to lose its firmness and is almost falling apart at the edges. Then I let it cool somewhat and refrigerate it and slice when cold. Liquid can be strained and used for gravy with addition of 1 Tablespoon of flour to thicken, and if desired a tablespoon of honey and ketshup. Reheat slices in gravy and serve.
I hope you like it.
Onions, garlic, ketshup, honey, paprika, wine.
Midwest2, When it’s being used as a parnassa, we can expect problems.
While I agree that there are yechidim among Shadchanim who are heartless and tactless, the most highly paid of all Shadchanim, barely eek out a living from it and have to put up with a combination of uppity and whining singles and parents,etc. day and night because of a Shidduch crisis ~t o t a l l y~ not of their doing! Therapists get paid $200 per 45 minute session for listening to others tell them their problems, whether they care or not and help or not. Shadchanim listen day and night for nothing!
Whoever criticizes Shadchanim should be forced to become one! Big talkers!
pac, Choshuve people by whose definition?
Oy. Those who know, know, those who dont know, better they dont know. Im sure the pros and cons were debated heavily though.
pac, He should go down for marrying a shiksa. That itself is more than enough reason.
Very recently choshuve people in Lakewood supported and encouraged voters to vote for a Jew who was married to a shiksa, who was running against a frum Yid!
This was one of those days where I wish I could have been two places- Chumash Seudah and Parade! Shucks!
