bk613, maybe my previous response to you post is not showing up due to its tone, maybe it will show up, but I am repeating my request here. Please explain in fancy terminology that will blow everyone’s mind away, how the fact that “DNA produces RNA so the vaccine is affecting and modifying the DNA’s natural response” is untrue because it is written without fancy and technical scientific jargon. Thank you in advance.
Always ask, you realize what the statistics are? Covid-19 has a 99% survival rate while we are getting no numbers on the supposed “vaccinations”. Furthermore, doctors and healthcare professionals have different opinions. Anyway, to each his own. People are followers or independent thinkers. There are pros and cons to each group and repercussions according to each individual. I choose to be independent rather than follow the herd.
coffee addict, thanks for the lead
Always ask, The dialect of the Jews from many Slavic speaking countries like Ukraine, Moldova, Russia and was different from other primarily Slavic speaking countries like Galican, Poland and Lithuania, of which the dialects were also different from each other. I don’t remember the pronunciation of the kumets as in the word ברא with the Russian dialect, perhaps they pronounce the kumets with the “ooh” sound like Galicians (and Hungarians) like I believe you meant to write that the person from USSR pronounced the word buru, did you mean like booroo? I can’t remember, how Lubavitche pronounce the kametz, that would be the Russian dialect. The difference that I know for sure though is that in the Russian Hebrew/Yiddish dialect tzeirie is pronounced as ay like in “they” while in the Galican (and Hungarian) dialect it is pronounced like a fast “I”. Also the chirik in Galician dialect is ee while in the Russian dialect it’s oo. The Galician LH/Yiddish dialect is the same as the LH/Yiddish Hungarian dialect and different from the Russian/Ukrainian/Moldovian dialect.
Avi K, of course Yemenites can speak Persian, the question is if they are indeed speaking or spoke that language. Persian is not Arabic at all and is completely different. No one speaking Arabic would say they are speaking Persian and vice versa. Perhaps the people who told me they were speaking Persian between themselves were wary of saying they were speaking Arabic. I’m not saying Wikipedia is the authority in everything and everyone but someone who is familiar with the subject wrote on the page of Jewish Yemenites that they speak Judeo-Yemeni Arabic and Arabic is different than Persian and if there are any similarities at all between the two languages, certainly the Judeo version of Arabic is an even greater difference from the Persian language.
The descendents of Mizrachi Jews in Israel have indeed mostly adopted the Israeli accent which is Sephardi. And that’s why I was confused where this accent is from. After you told me that Persian Jews pronounce the “hes” I’ve done more research which and learnt that many older Mizrachis in Israel and some Israeli singer retained the “hes” but most of the rest of Mizrachi dropped the Mizrachi Jewish dialect and are speaking with the Israeli Hebrew dialect. That’s why I was confused where that dialect is from since some Mizrachis still spoke with that accent and some didn’t.
Ashkenazim have a soft and hard ת.
Regarding some communities pronouncing the “ד” with the “th” sound, I have read an article where a Yemenite said that their pronunciation of the LH letters were the original pronunciations and he gave an example that according to halacha the letter “ד” from the word “אחד” in Krias Shma needs to be drawn out but that is only possible if it is pronounced with the “the” sound. ( I tried it but it’s hard for me to do, firstly because Ashkenazim were taught to draw out the ח and secondly the “the” sound is not easy to stretch out but still doable as opposed to the hard “d” sound)
YO, how about the secular and politics don’t mix? It is they who have made a mockery out of Yiddishkeit in Israel and desperately want to harm whatever remnants of protection of Yiddishkeit the Zionist government still harbors. The secular are to be mocked for wanting to hold on to governing in the Land of Israel of which they have no rights to if not for our connection through the Torah which they seem to destroy.
The bottom line is that we are are giving covid-19 shots ( they are technically not vaccines) for a viris with a 99% survival rate which is absolutely ridiculous! This shot is still experimental and does not incur any liability. Many side effects are being reported by the media, but the most critical affects we don’t know about are the long term affects of this shot that injects a person with DNA that alters their DNA response.
Yserbius, DNA produces RNA so the vaccine is affecting and modifying the DNA’s natural response.
Always ask, and here I thought you were a Mizrachi…Are your ancestors from Lithuania? Very few Lithuania Jews survived the Holocaust.
If you are telling a story about a Jew from the USSR then the Galican dialect is not relevent. The Russian and Galician dialect are different. And where do the Hungarians come into the picture. You are all over the place.
Two Yemenites told me they speak Persian but Google says Yemenite Jews spoke Judeo-Yemeni Arabic, a distinct version of Arabic, so I don’t know what they really speak between each other…but anyway, doing some research, it seems as if the Yemenites also pronounce the ches as hes. I guess Mizrachim, not Sephardim say/said hes.
Anyway, getting back to the topic of Yiddish, it’s definitely not going away and English is not taking over Yiddish at all. Everyday spoken Hebrew is very successful these days as a Jewish language. English is only only a first language for America and Candian with the exception of most Chassidishe.
Thanks for the info. So I am deducing from your info that currently Jews originating from Persian communities, Iran and Iraq pronounce the ח with an “h” sound. Some Sephardim I asked said that it’s the Yemenites who use the “h” sound but perhaps I am mistaken, I believe I’ve heard Yemenites say the “ch” sound. However Yemenites do speak Persian so maybe I misheard and they do pronounce the ח with the “h” sound.
coffee addict, you are right, I haven’t met rebyidd23. But that doesn’t answer my question why a kid would want their face painted red?! 🤔 Or why a parent would want to paint their child’s face red?! 🤨
I’m worried about the harmful Reform and civil laws that may be passed during this current government. I am also worried about the hundreds of thousands of non-Jews that are integrating with Jewish Israelis. Regarding security, I am not so think that this supposedly liberal government will be less reliable than Netanyahu who always immaturely stopped campaigns to route out Hamas which gave them time to become deadlier and more dangerous over the years. I may read them wrong, but IMO leiberman and Bennett will not let Hamas off the hook as easily as Netanyahu did.
As for how long this government will last, I think that they may shlep as long as Netanyahu is head of the Likud. I think it’s crazy that Netanyahu feels that the position of the prime minister of Israel belongs to him forever. It’s time for him to step down or be replaced.
Great Rabbis played chess and they had no problem with the chess pieces but I promise you they would never look at video games and they’d be extremely angry that there are frum Jews looking at improper images that most computer games have today.
As for chess being addictive, it is far, far less addictive, if addictive at all, than computer games. One can walk away from a board game much more easily than from a video game.
I’m not saying you can’t ever play with computer games, if the game doesn’t have immodest characters then 45 minutes of unwinding by playing a computer game is ok, but more often than not the games today are completely immoral in character, not with a person knocking down a boardpeice, but with the killing of 3-d lifelike characters and lifelike immodest characters as part of the game, and a player most often does not stop after 45 minutes
of playing immersive games.kollelman, you are 100% right.
Avi k, some Sephardi/Mizrachi Jews pronounce the ח with an “h” sound instead of the “ch” sound and I would like to know which communities/community this pronunciation/dialect originates from.
Why would a child want their face painted red? Please enlighten me.
Chess is not addictive nor filled with immoral imagery.
Always ask questions, what a sad story. The loshen Hakodesh language is our heritage far greater than Yiddish.
On another topic, I see that you don’t pronounce the ח as most Sephardish and Ashkenazim do, as we pronounce it letter chet or ches.
I am assuming you are an Eidas Hamizrach or Sephardi or perhaps Yemenite. Can I ask where you and your family originate from? I have never had a proper explanation where the Hebrew “hes” dialogue comes from.
Always ask, I do have to say that Yeshivishe school has very fine, erliche girls. I didn’t bring up the story to criticize them, I just mentioned it because I was puzzled that they left it out but it proved to me that Yiddish is a language to be reckoned with as Chassidishe can say they have their distinct Jewish loshen.
Chareidy levush today did not originate from the time of the giving of the Torah…the styles first showed up by the non-Jews and was tweaked and adopted by Jews. That makes it Jewish, it doesn’t have to the fashion that the Yisraelim wore 3000 years ago. Same with the Yiddish language and foods Jews adopted from Europe or the Middle East, they become Jewish when they are adopted by a large eidah of Jews and repeatedly used for centuries, it became part of our identity. Regardless of how and from which language the Jews spoke in mitzrayim originated, if only they spoke it then it is became a Jewish language which set them apart from the Egyptians.
There are over a million Chareidy Jews with distinctive levush, Chassidishe, Yeshivishe, Sefardim, Yemenites, all who learn Torah. Regardless of the Torah learning, actually because of Torah learning, Chareidy levush sets us apart from non-Jews and reminds us that we are Ivrim and we are different. Jews should be able to be identified as Jews, that is part of being a Jew.
Jews were are Ivrim, we are apart and that is what keeps our identity strong so that we don’t assimilate. We can’t only learn the Torah, we have to live by the Torah with a Jewish lifestyle and one aspect of living a Jewish lifestyle is with Shem, loshen and malbush.
Always ask questions, Chassidim don’t say ein chadash otherwise they would still ride with horse and buggies and travel with ships. And they wouldn’t eat pizza and sushi…and they wouldn’t have multiple cookbooks with recipes of all kinds of delectible dishes using 21st century processed ingredients. Nope, Chassidim could use sugar without any issues when it became available, because they had/have no problem with new innovations as long as it’s ok according to halacha. They keep their distinctive Jewish dress and language as the Yisraelim did in mitzrayim. I was once at a (English speaking) Yishivishe school production that was set in the times of yetzius mitzrayim and spoke about the fact that Jews were rescued because of their Jewish names and malbish. I was surprised that they did not mention the third reason, loshen, that they spoke their own language was the third reason Hashem took the Jews out of Egypt. But thinking into it, since the students didn’t speak their own Yiddish language, they didn’t mention it. Chassidim can certainly say they speak their own Yiddish language. I’m not criticizing Yeshivishe or any other Jews speaking English or another secular language as their main language, I’m just staring a fact.
A newspaper named Der Emes would be spelled in Yiddish דער אמת
Pronunciation of Yiddish/Hebrew is not according to the so-called “Gefilte Fish line” because while part Polish, Lithuanians, Ukrainians and Russians Jews may have enjoyed their gefilte fish peppery and while the part Polish, Hungarian, Checkoslavakian, Austrian, German, etc. Jews enjoyed theirs sweet, it has nothing to do with the pronunciation. Only Hungarian Jews and many Galician Jews pronounced the vav as “git” while everyone else pronounced it as with the original “gut”. After the war when most of the Chassidim left alive were Hungarians, they had a big hashpuah on many other Chassidishe who were the ones that did not drop the Yiddish language, and today majority of Chasidim pronounce the vav as “ee” besides for in Israel where they the “ee” pronunciation is not as widespread even among Chassidishe. It seems as if the Hungarian pronunciations of vav and yud as “ee” and tzeirie “aih” as in laihn (lein) are more recent adaptations influenced by the Hungarian language as opposed to centuries old because they have not infiltrated pre-Holocaust Israel.
There’s nothing wrong with spelling phonetically but using the “vav” correctly instead of a “yud”, doesn’t have to do with so much with phonetics as both letters are pronounced “ee” by a vast majority of Yiddish speaking Chassidim. It is more that they are simply not knowledgeable of the original Yiddish spelling. In fact, spelling words correctly with a vav instead a yud is also spelling phonetically because originally the vav in yud are distinctive but and spelled accordingly but not in Hungarian Yiddish/Hebrew where the pronunciation is the same and so the spelling is interchangeable to whatever one feels like using. And it doesn’t matter. As I see it, every single living language has evolved whether it is in pronunciation, evolution of words, spelling of words, grammar etc. The Yiddish spoken today is one of the least evolved languages so exchanging the yud and the vav doesn’t bother me.
Video games, television, goyishe novels, and goyishe movies are not about bitul zman as much as terrible influences. We can see the results of the influence these kinds entertainment have on our society; I do not believe the US will last much longer due to the terribly immoral influence these kinds of entertainment are having.
And while I’m not one to kasher the internet even with a filter, how can you compare leaving comments on YWN to killing, or killing with, 3-d lifelike characters, many of them portrayed extremely untzniusdig, and enjoying killing “lives”? Do you think it doesn’t have an effect on a Yid?
Perhaps there are innocent games where one can release stress, however, generally these games are very addictive. “ADHD” here mentioned here releasing stress with games, however these games are extremely addicting for individuals with ADHD due to its brain stimulating nature.
Even if adults would play only innocent games to relax for a while, it is very immature for adults to have an entire discussion involving such a juvenile topic. When I first learned how much people are paying for video gear and how serious many 50 year olds are about playing videogames, I thought ok, what can we expect from people who have no concept that we are here for a purpose, but when I see how frum adults are talking about a fake, CGI created reality, I say “we need Moshiach now!”
I realized after posting my previous post that it contained many mistakes which may make it hard to understand. I am reposting here with the mistakes fixed and the moderator can delete my previous post if possible.
. DSLRs dont autofocus in video, only mirrorless cameras do
. DSLRs and mirrorless cameras need seperate lenses. Even when buying used they will be way over your current budget. In addition, cheap and dark lenses (with an aperture f4 and smaller) which generally includes kit lenses as well ( the lenses included with the cameras) will make the quality of your photos look like it was taken with a very cheap camera. A good lens is as important as a good camera. You can get a 50mm F1.8 lens which is generally a good lens that is also cheap however they are only useful for portraits and not for candid photography that you generally take in camp. For everyday candid photos you need a zoom lens and a USED good quality, bright zoom lens can cost upwards of $500.
. The best cameras in the closest price range to what you mentioned are the compact cameras, the Sony DSC-RX100 mark 3 and the Canon 7x Mark 2 (the Canon has a longer zoom lens). In new condition they are above your budget but you can buy them used in good condition on ebay in the $350-$375 range. These two cameras have great, bright lenses that are good for low light photography and for good quality images in general. These cameras also come with manual controls which is crucial for professional photographers and videographers, you have to expose the images by using manual control and not letting the camera decide the exposure in automatic mode. These cameras are excellent for learning how to control the camera to shoot professional photography and videography.
Eventually when you do have the money, you can buy a good mirrorless camera and a fast bright lens and also an external flash with a trigger and lightstand ( make sure the camera has a hot shoe to be able to attach a flash) and at that point, once you mastered basic camera exposure settings, you can learn lighting on and off camera.
ADHD causes laziness only if you are not occupied with what you enjoy doing. Find a job that interests and stimulates you and you will find that you don’t want to stop working. ADHDs are generally very creative and smart and it is extremely hard for them to do occupy themselves with something they do not like to do. Don’t use ADHD as an excuse to take the easy road in life and do nothing because it is just an excuse, you need to want to be productive. If you know what you enjoy working in/with then go for it. If you don’t know what you enjoy doing then explore what your interests are and turn it into a way to make an income.
n0mesorah, lying and biased reporting leads to violence and the reporters have blood on their hands. Defending these anti-Semite reporters mean that you defend their defense of violence against Jews. Words have the power to destroy (and to build). Words are not trivial. It is Hitler’s words and his that about his rise to power. The liberal media is what is today causing the collapse of the US and it is the liberal media that is goading violence.
We don’t particularly have to combat anti-Semitism, we can just defend ourselves. But certainly Jews who support the lies and violence are pouring oil into the fire.
n0mesorah, there is no difference between biased reporting and propaganda. If it is not the truth, if it is biased reporting then it is propaganda. I did not conflate reportage and violence, I said that anytime anti-Semitic reportage OR violence is defended, excused or rationalized by Jews it adds fuel to the fires of anti-Semitism. However, the fact is that biased reporting, which is the spreading of lies, does bring people to violent behavior as we have seen anti-Semitism exploding all over the world goaded by “biased reporting”, i.e. propaganda, of the narrative of the poor Fakestinians and the brutal Israelis/Jews. This gives those who want to destroy us a license to do so.
n0mesorah, you do not realize but you are excusing and rationalizing AP’s behavior continuously. And the fact is that when Jews rationalize and excuse, and oftentimes defend, anti-Semitic behavior, whether is reportage or violence, then we cause further hatred towards our own people. This is the reality.
No one needs to defend their breathing normally without being muzzled. Baruch Hashem in our community we understood that after the pandemic raging in March, April, may, June and perhaps July as well, I can’t remember exactly, of 2020, there was no further need of wearing masks. Everyone is always in danger of contracting and spreading viruses but we don’t control the world and it’s stupid to wear masks indefinitely at this point. Hashem controls the world, not us.
Wow, to hear the defense of an abhorrently anti-Semitic news agency being defended on a frum news site. I keep on seeing repeatedly Jews sticking up for Jew haters. And then we wonder why we are hated so when we have these kinds of people amongst us!
Every language used in daily life evolves. English, French, German, they are all different from 1,000 or even 500 years ago. English, in fact, has changed so much, we would not understand the early versions of the English language at all, while the core words of the Yiddish language has not changed as drastically. Although hard concentration is needed, anyone who knows Yiddish would be able to decipher the Yiddish written 500 years ago.
Amen, I hope moshiach should arrive speedily.
Throughout history many Jews often calculated with gematrias and cheshbonos and in the end moshiach didn’t come. We believe every day that he can come without all these cheshbonos. If he comes, I’ll be overjoyed. And if he doesn’t come now, I wasn’t relying on cheshbonos anyway.
1/2 lb per person always works for me. I’ve never had to little, usually it’s just enough with 3-4 few slices left over.
emiller4025, if you don’t mind my asking, what compels you to live within the community and stay with your family? Do you care deeply for them that makes you stay or is it out of familiarity? I have a relative that went OTD, he lives at home but comes and goes as pleases. He doesn’t have a normal marriage with his wife, but they do it to keep the family intact, and from his side, why not? He can still do as pleases. So I wonder if such a dynamic is in all families where the father has gone OTD.
Don’t take my question personally, I’m just trying to figure out why someone who doesn’t believe in Judaism stays in a frum environment.
You should reach out to get the help your husband needs, whether it’s a Rav or GYE. If your husband wants to change he will when he gets help. If he doesn’t want to change there’s nothing you can do. You then have two options, if he still wants to stay, you can keep the family intact which it can be exceptionally hard living with such a husband, but it’s a better environment for the kids where you can control the environment way more than if you take the second option which is divorce.
Remember, ultimately there’s nothing you could do to prevent him from living the life he wants, it’s his bechira.
I feel your pain and hopelessness. Stay strong and may you have a complete yeshiah.
Regardless if the virus is natural or lab-created, the fact is that China ignored early warnings by doctors and scientists and even persecuted these individuals. They hushed up the situation and that’s how it grew out of control. Either way, the Chinese government are viscous people who don’t care much about human lives. And the world and the media is quiet about them, hushing up every article that points a finger on those guilty of not stopping the spread of coronavirus before it spiralled out of control..
Klugeryid, indeed, asking for an investigation of an corrupt government employee is not an impeachable offense. The drug addict, Hunter Biden, needed to be investigated in any case. Trump could likely have wanted to kill two birds with one stone and that’s irrelevant as long as there was cause for Biden to have been investigated.
Hunter Biden is a drug addict who did nothing to warrant his eceiving his $60,000 a month salary. Obama also wanted him removed from his post. It was not an offense for Trump to have asked for him to be investigated. Certainly, it is not an impeachable offense, except for in the corrupt US Congress that is currently led by Democrats whose only purpose in life since Trump was in office was to get him removed. That is total corruption by the Dems, not by Trump.
The bottom line is that this impeachment will not pass in the Senate and Trump will in the meantime get enough support because even people who were Democrats are seeing their elected leaders doing nothing but be busy with witch hunts for 4 years…
Ahem…excuse me. I have mistakenly written one article of impeachment as contempt of Congress…it’s really called obstruction of Congress. What a kangaroo court. As much as I mostly agree with Trump policies, I’m not even such a big fan of Trump as much as I hate the abuse of power by the Democrats.
