Or, or, knock on the door of a different female neighbor, and tell her to knock on his door and tell him.
Why me?
I don’t talk to men.
And I do?
Yes, you wear full length skirts and don’t braid your hair.
There is no clear rule for these things. It depends on who is person is. If you’re not comfortable, there’s probably a good reason for that. Even if you are, maybe you shouldn’t be.
Who says you have a right to be frum on yenem’s cheshbon?
Suppose you don’t have tefillin and only your neighbor’s wife is home? You have to knock on the door, ask for the tefillin, and put them on. And deal with your nisyonos. You can’t not do mitzvos because you have nisyonos.
You definitely should have rang the bell.
This is not the same as those mentioning gedolim, rebbeim who are in their 60s and older that smoke. They got hooked when smoking was acceptable, cheap and all the medical dangers unknown.
Also, once you’re over a certain age, you may as well because lung disease takes a while to develop.
Most top guys used to smoke. I’d basically say that sadly, in the yeshivish yeshivos, if a guy did not used to smoke that is a red flag.
Of course, if you want a husband with a decent chance of living past 60, skip the top guy and get a nonsmoker.
Me. I put my arm through the sleeve.
What did you do when you were in yeshiva?
I put it on one shoulder, and looked like a retard
Who in the world wears a jacket for shachris? then you hang it over one shoulder? or button it without putting your left arm through? Seems retarded.
I would come to this sheva brachos.
Mazel tov!
Ask whichever rabbis is going to officiate, I’d guess.
Depends, What is a non-frum job?
Like be a priest.
I had a post on that thread http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/annoying-jewish-telemarketers#post-584607
Parents three rows to my left changed the diaper in the cabin.
I’m ok with that.
I don’t find this offensive

The Europeans haven’t changed much in 2000 years.
They’ve been practicing religious coercion the whole time; the only difference is first they coerced you to be Catholic, then some of them coerced you to be protestant, now they coerce you to be atheist.
Utah has clearly never even visited Utah.
I have. See my published works (cr threads).
A couple of interesting alcohol laws in Utah. Beer is limited to 4 percent alcohol (3.2 percent by weight). You can’t have a bar, so it needs to be a pyruvate club with a membership fee. So they charge like a 5 dollar membership fee.
Never. It’s the one place in the world you know you’re entitled to forever–why would you pay for it?
lol
Almost as bad as marriage
You’re dating one of the 12th graders? Which one?
but if it does not work out, unlike some other yeshivas, they will not re-brand themselves as another kind of yeshiva so that people can maintain their shtellars.
I’m def not taking a job there then.
sorry, can you please rephrase your last post. I’m not following.
are you dating someone from there? I think their first class is like in 11th grade, so that seems unlikely. I assume your mother knows the answers to these questions if she’s looking into it for your brother.
Ah, that’s the new yeshiva. It’s very good. The people who run it are excellent. I’ve heard only good things.
I actually assumed you were talking about the older boston yeshiva (the mesivta), and was sort of trolling as if you might mean ohr yisroel.
Which one? Also, why are you getting involved?
Carter.
There are ways to tovel without using the ocean
Because of Joseph’s posts. They showed me how beautiful the torah is and how it makes its adherents into good people.
I admit it was I.
To wit, I did attend the Pennsylvania School of Higher Lunacy, a prestigious school in Philadelphia committed to the study of the moon. I also have Facts 1, 2, and 3. Fact 4 was that I went to Penn law, but it was untrue as I am a 3L at Columbia.
Date a smoker.
The Agudah used to have their yearly convention on Thanksgiving weekend and served Turkey at the convention
Mitchila ovdei avoda Zara hayu avoseinu
I’m having turkey tonight. I cooked and carved it. And made turkey soup from the bones
What’s it called
?
Does anyone know of a reliable weekday Shachris Minyan in Downtown Boston.
Without having to travel to Brookline
Sure, drive to Brighton!
It is both a parent problem and a kid problem. If someone uses a leash/harness to safely give a child space, that is very different from using a leash/harness in place of teaching a child safety, boundaries or to follow directions. Or in place of them learning it. It becomes a problem when it is arbitrarily used just because it’s easier. Same goes for videos, babysitters, candy, pacifiers etc.
Please come to my house and show me how to teach a 16 month old anything.
I should also mention that my baby still occasionally brings me the harness to put on, to communicate that we should go on a walk.
LU:
By the way, I’d like to welcome you to the small group of posters who have ever taken anything they said back, or qualified it at all. There’s about 2 of us.
Just to repeat: I agree that the harness is less freedom than walking without one (although I’m unconvinced 18 month olds need or want that freedom). But you should agree that it is more freedom than the stroller. So first we should criticize the people who stick their kid in the stroller instead of letting them walk themselves to the park or the store or wherever, and once we’re done with them, we can worry about the people who use the harness.
I call it a harness. The OP called it a leash.
1. Do you use a harness?
We used one for my child from about 16-21 months.
2. Do you personally know people who do? If yes, are they Frum?
Yes, a maggid shiur in a very prominent mainstream yeshiva, whose family my inlaws are close with.
4. Is this whole thing a joke or serious?
I think it’s a joke that people think there is something wrong with it. Yes, in brooklyn most people don’t use them. But in Brooklyn they also don’t use Baby Bjornes.
5. What is a harness anyhow? Never saw one – wouln’t know what it was if I bumped into it. Think of a backpack shaped like a teddy bear, with a long tail. And the shoulder straps buckle in front.
I’m talking for example about walking on a sidewalk of a street with cars driving with an 18 month old who likes to run.
Your choice are to either use a harness, a stroller, or hover over them. Choice 3 is only possible if you don’t also have am infant or a 4 year old.
Most people I see choose stroller. I chose harness.
If you can’t see why choice 3 would be stressful, you should speak to a therapist because you are repressed
