    hello:

    Do you know what a source for a concept that a real dough which is baked in a normal manner, should need to have a toar lechem? I don’t see that in the MB.

    a man whos active in nk was in a train station and suddenly a guy starteed screaming at him hey you filthy zionist murderer etc so this man went over to him and told him hey im actually on the way back from some pro palestine conference and he told him about nk well the guy was dead impressed and said sorry i didnt ralize that some jews are also against those bloody zionists and he shook hands and was so nice after.

    So basically, this guy figured out a way to save himself in antisemitic situations, by pledging allegiance to the anti semites.

    This has happened before. In WWII, we called them the Judenrat.

    You will not need to change your diet or take additional medicines.

    But Caracas Chick was told she needs to eat healthy, make sure to drink properly, and exercise.

    That may or may not be a change for some people.

    yungerman:

    I do wash on a slice of pizza, and I don’t know what that has to do with a wrap.

    I generally consider the issue of pizza to be whether cheese and sauce can make pas into pas kisnin, which the beur halacha says it cannot unless it is similar to hors d’oeuvres (meaning, made in small pieces for snacking purposes.)

    One poster here said the issue by wraps is whether there is a toar lechem. I haven’t looked at that in a while. Perhaps you could say the same thing for pizza, but that I have never heard of, and then you would not wash even on more than a slice.

    except for making sure I drink plenty I have not had to make any changes, I exercise regularly and eat healthy,

    Oh. I do not exercise regularly, and I do not eat healthy, and I sometimes forget to drink all day (except beer of course).

    In fact, I just made myself a grilled cheese, which I made properly on a pan with plenty of margarine. There was no butter available.

    I have never heard a good reason why it would not be hamotzi (assuming soft wrap, the only type I’m familiar with).

    I don’t know of anyone who says it is mezonos, but I can’t guarantee there isn’t anyone.

    Probably the same people who use the brooklyn eruv. (See, any thread can be made into a fun thread.)

    Do you really think 1 case of hepatitis is worth $75,000,000 to prevent?

    Or even $15,000,000?

    Suppose there was a cure for hepatitis that cost 15,000,000 per dose. Would you say it should be covered by health insurance? Would you pay for it out of pocket if you had the money?

    popa: after reading all the responses, do you still feel that one cannot do the same sports/excersizes as before the donation?

    This has nothing to do with how I feel. This is simply the fact. Once you donate a kidney, you are not supposed to do any contact sports, and there are all sorts of other lifestyle changes as well. Ask your doctor.

    What are the numbers for chicken pox?

    What percentage of the population who does not have the vaccine has severe problems from chicken pox?

    What percentage of the people who get the vaccine have severe reactions to it?

    Until we answer those questions, isn’t this all just speculation?

    I don’t see how that has to do with what I am saying.

    They are guilty of two things:

    1. Making large prominent mistakes, and publishing buried retractions.

    2. Failing to do proper research to find out anything about the stories they run.

    What does that have to do with perspectives?

    Oh yes, the Times is very reliable.

    ARE YOU BLAZES KIDDING?

    They don’t even make an attempt to get stories correct, the entire system is about sensationalism. They exist to sell papers, and they were pretty good at that until the internet came.

    Any time there is a story about the frum community, they completely botch it. When it is about the Hispanic community, we just don’t know.

    I recall one time when R’ Ovadia Yosef was in the hospital, the papers published a picture of ultra-orthodox jews praying outside the hospital towards his window. Or maybe saying kiddush levana?

    Did they bother to find out? They don’t care.

    And let’s recall a little story we knew about. Where they portrayed the jewish victim of an arab mob, to be an arab victim of Israeli police!

    Did they publish a retraction? I don’t recall, but I assure you it didn’t have the same prominence.

    What percentage of people suffer severe side effects from the Hepatitis B vaccine?

    What percentage of people who are not vaccinated, in the US, and do not engage in risk factors, get Hep B from blood transfusions?

    I know it is uncommon to die from vaccines. But it happens all the time. There are 300m people in this country.

    That is not the consensus of the medical community. If you donate a kidney, you need to make substantial lifestyle changes, such as no more contact sports or potential high impact sports.

    You are confusing the medical community at large, with the kidney donation propaganda.

    Huh? Why does my making sense out of something that bothers you mean I am making it into a commodity?

    If doctors charge money for kidney transplants, does that make life a commodity?

    But the fact that men should do something while women shouldn’t, or women should do something while men shouldn’t, to me it is sexist.

    Define further please. Do you mean even if there is a good reason which makes sense?

    For example, suppose there are separate bathrooms for men and women, does that bother you?

    Suppose that girls in Orthodox communities have shidduch resumes because of the laws of supply and demand, but boys don’t, does that bother you?

    I heard i believe from R’ Wallerstein that the luchos were like the kiddushin (i.e. ring) and if Mmoshe Rabbenu didnt break the luchos we would have so to speak been married with Hashem and committed adultery by sinning with the egel so it was a favor Moshe Rabenu did for us.

    Well, wasn’t Moshe the shliach kabbala? So isn’t the kiddushin chal when he gets it?

    Texting is good. Since people began texting, it has cut down on the noise level in shuls, as nobody is talking on the phone.

    Presumably, this is because texting is more efficient and they are able to finish their business before davening.
