During March?
All of them.
No offense, but your question is the least interesting part of this story.
Because alcohol reduces inhibitions.
No.
You are correct.
This ???? is a perfect example of how people use halacha to justify their bad middos.
He wanted the seat because he is jerk, not because he wanted to keep a halacha, but he blamed it on halacha. What a chillul Hashem.
I know a set of twins, where the younger is not being allowed to date until the older one is married.
The parents told her they will not make the wedding if she gets married before the older one.
What do you think of that?
At my seudah, there was this one guy who was filling huge buckets with wine and forcing people to drink the entire thing.
I have a friend who is almost 30. He has an older sister who is single. He won’t date until she’s engaged. His parents have begged him, his sister has told him that she doesn’t care and he should date, but he refuses to date. He won’t tell his family that’s the reason, but a few of his close friends know it.
I don’t believe that.
Bar Shatya: I don’t know.
But, my daughter is dressed up as queen esther.
When we went to her ????’s house, she said “Oh! you look so ugly, are you vashti?”
Now, I know my daughter is not quite a supermodel, but isn’t that a bit over the line?
So then I wasn’t talking about that.
of course a psychologist is gr8 for ppl with real problems but can someone with only small problems benefit from them too?
You’re going to need to define your terms.
I suspect the small problems are real problems.
Did Rabbi Akiva’s wife ask if he wore a black hat or yechus?
No, she married an ?? ????, on pure faith that he would change.
I don’t understand it, but apparently she bargained right.
Still, I wouldn’t recommend it.
In yeshiva, we used to bet on whether our friends were going to get engaged to a girl they were dating. The spread would usually start off about 50-50, and adjust based on his mood, the length of phone calls, how much he talked to the mashgiach, and how often they were going out, etc.
A couple of guys were so good at it, they paid for all their dating with their winnings.
We later found out they were in cahoots.
The box with not limits represents everything, and therefore Hashem.
The three boxes represent the goyim’s religion.
Why are you bringing your ????? ??? here?
I also do “Rebbe Tipping”.
We wait until he is dozing off, and then we run and hit his side. If you do it hard enough, he falls over.
I vaguely recall that this only applies if you were born into the lifestyle, but if you acquired it yourself, it is too bad.
what is a proper punishment for a teenager cought texting the opposite gender??? im at a loss
It depends what you are trying to accomplish.
If you just don’t want him to text girls, at any cost, then you punish him severely so he will be afraid to do it again.
If you want him to appreciate that it is wrong, you probably shouldn’t punish him at all, and instead should ask yourself why you haven’t been successful in teaching him that it is wrong.
And by teaching, I don’t mean “telling”.
(Oh, and also, if you punish him, you will probably be on here in a year asking how to punish a boy who doesn’t keep shabbos.
Seriously, how do you think it got to this point?)
Yes, it usually happens with teachers who have a low self esteem, and are compensating for it.
Pardon my causticism, but I am doubtful things in the name of people who I don’t even know who they are after Googling.
No, no dysfunctional family, there were things of major importance that didnt go right in the young adult’s life, despite parents’ huge efforts.
Young adult chooses to have nothing to do with parents, but might, down the line, have some contact with siblings.
Why do I doubt this story?
People who have a good relationship with their parents don’t cut off contact from them.
I assume they are not good parents, and probably don’t have a good relationship with each other either.
Despite their outward appearances.
???? ???? ????? ??? ???? ?????? ???
The ???? (Sanhedrin 74B) says that if Jews have minhag to wear a different color shoelace, then it is ???? ??? ????? to wear the goyish color in public.
Agree.
He’s not engaged in a ritual or any kind of shul.
I think the problem is “Adults not feeling yiddishkeit”, and it therefore is never even passed to the kids.
And, I’m highly unimpressed with the issues of answering questions in emuna. I think the bigger problem is the connection to Hashem is never being passed on by the parents in the first place- because the parents don’t have one.
I count bedbugs.
Doing the ???? ????. Getting outrageously intoxicated.
I know many guys who did that and got engaged that year.
BTW if a psychologist charges an arm and a leg, s/he’s very likely not too good a psychologist.
And the same with restaurants.
Popa: don’t you claim to be female?
That is my other personality. This one doesn’t know what you are talking about.
But do firemen always wear their hat whenever they appear in uniform to do a job, even if it is not fire related?
For example, I bet when they go to businesses to do inspections, they wear their hat, even though there is no fire.
How about backpacking in Zion National Park?
I’m not carrying the torah.
Not mentioned in Shulchan aruch, rema, shach, taz in siman 89 where you’d expect it to be mentioned. Never heard such a thing either.
And lets not forget that any income you make when you sell it is excludable up to 250k for an individual, and 500k for a couple, which means it is also a tax free investment.
Ok, back to the tax incentives.
The US tax code, 26 USC, is highly biased towards home owners.
That is why a straight analysis of the costs will not be accurate.
The interest on your loan, and your property tax, are both deductible. Depending on your marginal tax rate, that could be substantial.
Of course, market conditions change, and it may not be a good idea right now, but generally, home ownership is a good idea, and you should never pay it off, since then you lose the interest benefits.
It is basically a subsidized loan from the IRS.
What does it mean?
It means you belong to certain communities. Usually.
What goes along with wearing one?
Not necessarily anything. You should get to know the person if you want to find out.
What do you answer to people in shudduchim who say that they don’t want to be judged by what they wear.
????? ??????, ??????????????
I just really want to know halachos behind it. minhagim behind it. etc.
I would think it is a minhag at this point. But I’ll let the other posters tell you about that.
There’s an old saying that a mother would step in front of a bullet for her child.
Taking a bullet for someone is no big deal.
Dying is easy; living properly is hard.
aries: Would you take a bullet for a random child you were passing on the street?
Well, would you take a bullet for a random one of your children?
