popa_bar_abbaParticipant
I believe they do actually discuss coffe and cocoa beans being kitniyos because they’re beans.
That isn’t very nice of you, and I’m not even sure what that insult is supposed to mean.
You’re barley.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantAs you sit down to your seder next week please remember there is a group of people sitting down to their seder who have not had a new joke to laugh at since yetzias mitzrayim.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI am modern orthodox.
It is different because the hareidim are all focused on being frummer than the next guy instead of doing what Hashem wants.
Like for example this thread. Here you started a whole thread just to prove how frum you are. Is this what Hashem wants?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantMeanwhile, the 75 year old popa is still proud of the 5th grade popa for outsmarting the whole world.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantExcellent point popa. Though many of the top franchises are not food related as I said.
Yes, but the kosher ones are.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantKosher franchises don’t work because kosher restaurants are few enough that they can each have their own name recognition.
When you travel, it’s easy enough to ask a local what’s good.

popa_bar_abbaParticipantGot 2 big bottles of the Welch’s grape juice. Will be trying it out for the arba kosos on Pesach, be’ezras Hashem.
You have to use wine.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantDo you think you did? The way you say “if” makes it sound like you think you didn’t but you think someone might feel good if you say this.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantalcohol kills acid?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThe only grape juice we buy is Kedem. The first time I drank a different brand was on a trip to Israel, and the taste was awful. (except that an Israeli guest we hosted recently, thinks our Kedem is awful tasting and his Israeli brand is delish.)
Meraglim
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThe plan is to bring down the crazy price of grape juice, and of course sell big
Grape juice is expensive? It’s cheaper than orange juice, and just about any other fruit juice.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWhat a kiddush hashem! Even the people who watch things that shock LF the entire flight, still go to Eretz Yisroel and still dress like yiddin!

Three kids in two weeks? That’s incredible; mazel tov!
March 27, 2016 8:39 pm at 8:39 pm in reply to: CHEAP wedding singer in Brooklyn- need help asap! #1144610popa_bar_abbaParticipantSorry, no links. Google ShayaHecht.
Google Shaya Hecht sang at our wedding. He’s good. And his father Yoel is known to shoot people at their weddings as well.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantDo you get the most expensive esrog? Do you use a sukka kosher according to the Chazon Ish? Do you eat matza that you baked in a chaburah according to shitas hoRosh?
We’re talking about me? I thought we’re talking about sds’s friend.
Chazon ish on sukka is a daas yochid, not the mechaber following the pashtus of the gemara and all rishonim.
Same with shitas hoRosh.
And you could you compare hiddurim in esrog that nobody holds is not kosher, with a safeik chiyuv?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantIt’s very sad how people who are machmir on so many things throughout the year are all of a sudden meikil when it comes to Purim and the mitzvas hayom.
Do you get the cheapest esrog? Do you use a sukka kosher according to some shittos? Do you eat matza that’s shemura according to some shittos?

Kallah k’mos shehi.
March 18, 2016 3:46 pm at 3:46 pm in reply to: Invited to the Wedding Feast, not the Ceremony-would you be offended? #1143027popa_bar_abbaParticipantI’ve been to two weddings so far of people I originally met on the CR. I did not drink heavily at either.
March 18, 2016 4:07 am at 4:07 am in reply to: Invited to the Wedding Feast, not the Ceremony-would you be offended? #1143022popa_bar_abbaParticipantI totally want to come now. This sounds good.
March 17, 2016 6:28 pm at 6:28 pm in reply to: Building Torah In Cherry Hill – Be A Part Of It! #1142697popa_bar_abbaParticipantpoppa what is irr?
internal rate of return. See, if I invest 100 and get back 200, that sounds pretty good, right? But what if I told you it was over 100 years, now it sounds pretty bad, right? That’s IRR.
March 17, 2016 3:37 pm at 3:37 pm in reply to: Building Torah In Cherry Hill – Be A Part Of It! #1142693popa_bar_abbaParticipantyes, but that’s over 6 years. So the IRR is what? Like 46%?
March 17, 2016 3:32 pm at 3:32 pm in reply to: Invited to the Wedding Feast, not the Ceremony-would you be offended? #1143018popa_bar_abbaParticipantat 15, 30, 45 and 00 I’ll be calling for a fresh glass of Whisky.
Are you sure you’ll still be able to notice my picking my nose after all that? Maybe I better’d come early.
March 17, 2016 4:27 am at 4:27 am in reply to: Invited to the Wedding Feast, not the Ceremony-would you be offended? #1143012popa_bar_abbaParticipantOn one of those weeks I actually am going to a wedding. I bet I’m related to CT lawyer.
Let’s make a sign so we can recognize each other. At exactly every 30 and 00 on the clock, I’ll stuff one finger up each of my nostrils as far as I can reach. Please be on the lookout.
What will your sign be?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantIt’s a defense mechanism; it’s too hard unless you can blame them.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantsell stuff from china on amazon.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThat even a single Jew could even consider a vote for the candidate of Louis Farrakhan and David Duke shows that we do not learn the lessons of history.
Says the voter for the candidate of Jeremiah wright
popa_bar_abbaParticipanthmmmm
popa_bar_abbaParticipantnice, thanks for that.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThat can actually happen if someone decides that something is really just DE without asking.
And is more likely to happen to someone who followed the OU’s advice and asked every 3 months, and it changed within the 3 months. (And presumably has a spreadsheet with each item he asked about and the last time he asked, along with the past 50 years worth of OU emails and product alerts, which he consults each time he goes to the store like a good little O-U jew.)
popa_bar_abbaParticipantYale, New haven
Where they decide CTlawyer’s taxes, and ours, whether or not you think so
popa_bar_abbaParticipantIn any event, on the second date, you aren’t supposed to go to a lounge. You are supposed to take the tram to Roosevelt Island and go to the starbucks there, and then walk along the east river if the weather isn’t too bad.
Everybody knows this.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantHow about ping-pong?
Sounds like a great idea if you don’t want to know the other person’s name at the end.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantCompletely disagree with the above. Bowling, and many similar activities, are terrible at stimulating conversation if its already difficult.
Think about how you bowl. One person sits, and the other bowls. Then the bowler comes back, and if you don’t have anything to say, its easier for the other to go bowl his/her turn instead of staring awkwardly. You go through two games in a half hour, and then what?
When you go to a lounge, the only choice is to sit and talk, so that’s what you do. If it starts awkward, you talk awkwardly. Talk about the cliche weather if that’s all you have, and then make fun that you’re talking about the weather.
People like to make fun of yeshivish dating, but it works. We have a way better track record at high proportions of the population getting married quickly and into good marriages. Certainly way better than the critics.

popa_bar_abbaParticipantI also bought some Pareve english muffins this week. Should we consider them also milchig?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantPurim night has been ruined by fundraising.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI think their concern is that people will think DE needs only be treated as milchig as a chumra, or that the only problem is actually cooking it with meat.
Maybe they shouldn’t put a hechsher on anything milchig or fleishig, in case people think that if it’s kosher you can mix it with anything else kosher and that basar b’chalav is only a chumrah.
For that matter, maybe they shouldn’t put a OU-D on Thomas English Muffins, since the shulchan aruch says it’s assur.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantShould they not allow Oreos to have a D on it? Should they not disclose that the only issue is equipment?
bring back DE
March 13, 2016 2:48 pm at 2:48 pm in reply to: Out Of The Mailbag: (Flatbush Kiddush: Tznius & Drinking Out Of Control) #1142569popa_bar_abbaParticipantThere will not be a Klal Yisroel in 20 years.
Well, it’s been 7 years since this prediction, and I think we’re doing ok.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI think the OU should be ashamed of itself, as a general matter.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantOf course there are differences. If labeling is the issue, an alert consumer can catch it.
Sometimes. Do you assume they pay more attention to whether the label says pareve when the ingredients say “cassien” instead of “milk”? I doubt that.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThere are different types of unreliable. Mislabeling (for whatever reason) ? mistakes in halachah or poor supervision.
Why? Is it any different to label pig kosher because you weren’t watching them bring the pig in, versus because you weren’t looking at the labels they were putting on?
This, by the way, would be the perfect thread to admit that you were wrong (not about Dirty Chips, about Jolly Ranchers).
v’chein l’mar
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI don’t see any distinction between labeling something pareve which is milchig, based on a mistake in policy versus a mistake in labeling.
Either way=unreliable
popa_bar_abbaParticipantSuppose you have a lunatic who proposes to prove mathematically that the reason for global warming is that people don’t eat enough cholent thursday night, and his math seems to work out in theory. But nobody wants to study in practice if there is global warming or if people aren’t eating enough cholent, or maybe they did study it but buried the results because it didn’t show what they wanted.
The nimshal is that I don’t agree with the math.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantEveryone knows how tough it is in today’s economy to get a job. There simply are not enough jobs for the number of potential employees (whether this is actually currently true or not is irrelevant to my point).
…
If an askan sets up a job training and placement program because of the unemployment crisis, that’s not a chisaron in bitachon, that’s a very big mitzvah.
Yes, but if the askan’s program is taking out ads in the Yated urging people to start hiring people the same age as themselves, we’d all post here making fun.
The nimshal is that the shadchan doesn’t have to be the same age as the couple.
