    I intended that I am unfamiliar with the particular one you are citing.

    Now, as it happens, I am not familiar with it.

    My test was not focused on halacha lamaisa, so we really only learned the ??, ??. And ??? ?????, ??? ???, and various ??????? as required.

    1. A fly falls into a thick cholent and cannot be found? Half a fly? Piece of sheretz?

    2. A piece of issur which is raui lehiskabed is mixed among heter. Then it was cut up into pieces some of which are raui lehiskabed and some are not.

    3. Why is the din of od kama naga different by a knife from a spoon?

    4. I stirred a pot of meat with dairy spoon, then still without realizing, added more meat.

    5. When will lo noda make a difference?

    Of course girls should have to give a picture. They are the ones who ruin their shidduch potential through their negligence (some of them, others through genetic things, bla bla bla).

    It is no different than asking if a guy smokes.

    I get annoyed by commentary like this.

    I don’t think that is the case at all.

    Some people seem to think that just because they married the first person, anybody can.

    I have no idea why you did and others don’t. I have no idea why some people get married at 19 and some never.

    But if you need to have some answer: Just assume you were able to marry the first one because you are a particularly shallow person, and nothing made any difference to you.

    On the other hand, the good side of him getting elected would be that shortly thereafter, – we’d see a HUGE increase in American aliya!

    That is a pretty horrible thing to say. You should ask the mods to take that down. And this as well.

    It sounds like you are happy when there is antisemitism because it leads to aliya.

    No, why do you think they would. Guys understand if you don’t want a smoker, or whatever.

    Health is a state of mind and well being, not a number.

    Neither is wealth. Yet both of them are well suited to being measured in numbers.

    You can’t make powered milk out of pig fat, so if it is powdered milk, you know it isn’t pig fat. Or hooves.

    Well done BPT.

    Is her health something she values?

    Is her appearance something she attends to?

    Is her appetite a healthy one?

    Is her self confidence intact?

    All one question. Is she thin/slim/unfat/pick your PC word?

    Is her and your yiddishkeit / middos on the same page?

    Ok, a good second question.

    Why don’t you tell us some more.

    How much background in learning do you have?

    Did you attend a yeshiva high school? (don’t tell us which one if you don’t want.)

    What have you been doing since high school?

    What kind of college are you looking for?

    If I have pants that are too short, I throw them out. I don’t even think about it at all, I just throw them out.

    If I put them in the back of my closet, I might wear them accidentally one day.

    rebbetzin: there are no rules. the way I play is I post a phrase which has anything to do with the previous one, usually by sharing a word root, or by sharing the same letters.

    Although, I do agree that working towards goals in learning is a positive thing. Where I learned, that was always encouraged.

    When you say “the yeshivos”, you mean Lakewood? Lakewood is not exactly a yeshiva; it is more of a beis medrash. Many people in Lakewood are working on similar goals.

    And when you say some yeshivos (chabad, sfardim, modern orthodox), who do you mean?

    Modern Orthodox would be YU.

    There are no large sfardi yeshivos in America.

    I am not aware that chabad has a program similar to what you describe.

    However, I do agree that working towards goals in learning is important. Where I learned, that was always encouraged.

    Drunk = Chillul Hashem.

    Right. So this is the exact argument I am rejecting.

    The gemara says to get “drunk”. Many poskim read this literally, including the shulchan aruch.

    Rav Yisroel Salanter was seen on purim lying drunk under a table. (I heard this with the exact tracing of the story back to the Alter of Kelm. The end of the story is that as soon as they klopped “barchu”, he stood and acted completely sober.)

    Even the shittos that hold that the gemara is bringing the story to show that you should not get drunk anymore, agree that previous to the story, you were supposed to get mind numbingly drunk. Otherwise, why were the amoraim doing it?

    There are writings which discuss why G-d would want us to get drunk, and you can read them. I saw one in the back of the small sefer ???? ????????.

    Now, we can discuss how to go about it, and what other considerations there are, and which shittos we paskin like.

    But remember this. There are very valid shittos that you are chayav to get very very drunk. It does not behoove you to make light of them.

    I’ll say. BJJJJJJJJJJJ sure is the Gold. Just wait till you see my awesome shidduch. I’m telling you, I am so excited. Shidduch crisis? That’s for Bnos sara girls. I’m going to BJJJJJJJJJJJ.

    Maybe I’ll try to set you up with my husband’s friends. If you’re nice and also give me wedding presents.
