popa_bar_abbaParticipant
that has a nice ring to it.
Actually, the people in question are quite unlikely to have a ring. nice or otherwise.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantwould be doing woman’s Mezumenet
I hold that when you do, you say “Maharatotai nevareches.”
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWell if we are going to follow the Rema I look forward to everyone wearing tefillin on Chol HaMoed, eating dairy an hour after eating meat, and going home immediately after maariv on seder night rather than staying in shul to recite Hallel.
I don’t think anyone was advocating a rule that “we always follow the rema.”
I don’t know why you would read these comments in their most extreme form.
Also, the rema says to be machmir and wait 6 hours (YD 89:1). And I do wear tefilin on chol hamoed, and I don’t say hallel seder night in shul. So not quite sure where you’re going with that.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantDr. Pepper…
Chaval al d’ovdin.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantIs your boat a troller?
September 14, 2014 5:22 am at 5:22 am in reply to: mature enough to go to EY, mature enough to start shidduchim #1031977popa_bar_abbaParticipantDY doesn’t care about the shidduch crisis. I’m telling AZ on you.
September 14, 2014 5:18 am at 5:18 am in reply to: mature enough to go to EY, mature enough to start shidduchim #1031976popa_bar_abbaParticipant42%
popa_bar_abbaParticipantshkoyach writersoul. I don’t think I was spaced in last time this was bumped. Give to him over the head, with a rolling pin.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantReform?
September 12, 2014 3:42 am at 3:42 am in reply to: Craziness!? On average there are 86 single men to 100 single women #1032046popa_bar_abbaParticipantI don’t believe that number.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI remind you all that the first time I was blocked from YWN by Mod 80 it was for stoning a chazzan with esrogim.
September 11, 2014 11:52 pm at 11:52 pm in reply to: Im Going to Uman.I will pray for you there. #1038453popa_bar_abbaParticipantCan someone explain this whole Uman thing? Why do you have to shlep to Ukraine to daven? There are plenty of good minyanim around the world.
REally? Apparently boro park doesnt have even one!
popa_bar_abbaParticipantlo kashya.
We say that shir is appropriate to Hashem. We don’t say that is what we are going to do!
popa_bar_abbaParticipantShtuyot. They were like malochim. Ma sh’reasah shifcha al hayam…
Ask better.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantDY: Remind me again if the Torah says they davened or sang on yam suf? Remind me again what we do on Rosh Hashana?
Recall that “oz yoshir”, after they were saved. And before they were saved, Moshe davened. Not yoshir.
September 11, 2014 6:21 pm at 6:21 pm in reply to: Im Going to Uman.I will pray for you there. #1038447popa_bar_abbaParticipantAnd maybe they are looking for old men?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantBoth.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantDY: shira is for malochim. Tefilla is for people.
September 11, 2014 3:27 pm at 3:27 pm in reply to: Im Going to Uman.I will pray for you there. #1038443popa_bar_abbaParticipantI’ve always figured it stood for
Ani
L’uman
V’ishti
l’azazel
Weird, I guess it was wrong, but it always made sense.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantCan anyone rank the BP shuls according to which of the above characteristics they have. I may be willing to compromise on some (e.g. Bavli v yerushalmi)
September 11, 2014 12:20 pm at 12:20 pm in reply to: Im Going to Uman.I will pray for you there. #1038432popa_bar_abbaParticipantHow’s the political stability, right there?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI know a girl who did sherut leumi by working in a seminary. I guess we could both agree that is bad?
September 11, 2014 12:11 pm at 12:11 pm in reply to: Im Going to Uman.I will pray for you there. #1038430popa_bar_abbaParticipantYou’re going to a war zone? How about WE’LL daven for YOU.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantUnfortunately, the lack of safeguards is not unique to this seminary, or to seminary at all.
Oh, of course. I’ll readily concede I’m only talking about the ways seminaries exist in practice, and not the whole concept.
September 11, 2014 4:07 am at 4:07 am in reply to: Expanding on the Shidduch Crisis Math (Catastrophe) #1036557popa_bar_abbaParticipantAlso, strong work PAA! Excellent!
popa_bar_abbaParticipantDY: I disagree. In which do you think a girl would be more susceptible to being coerced by authority into breaking tznius? I think seminary.
I’m not paskening halacha here, and I don’t either pasken that sherut leumi is assur, but I can tell you as a parent I’d feel much safer with my daughter doing hasbarah in an office as sherut leumi and sleeping in my house than going to seminary across the world and sleeping I don’t know where. How about you?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantOf course. And do you think a seminary girl can leave at her discretion? She’s 6000 miles from home. If anything, I would think the authority dynamic is even more powerful in seminary than in sherut leumi.
Sam, I believe the way I am saying it is correct.
September 11, 2014 1:37 am at 1:37 am in reply to: Expanding on the Shidduch Crisis Math (Catastrophe) #1036552popa_bar_abbaParticipantI think it’s both unrealistic and somewhat ethically questionable to artificially push forward boys who are not ready to get married.
FTFY
popa_bar_abbaParticipantin yeshiva, or on yeshiva world?
September 10, 2014 1:10 pm at 1:10 pm in reply to: Is there a diplomatic, kind way to give Mussar? #1031838popa_bar_abbaParticipantHave you considered writing a passive aggressive post on ywn about it?
September 9, 2014 9:41 pm at 9:41 pm in reply to: "BlackBerry Passport" – BlackBerry's new phone #1031682popa_bar_abbaParticipantOh, I assumed it meant the blackberry execs were gonna take all the money left in their accounts and run away to a different country.
September 9, 2014 6:57 pm at 6:57 pm in reply to: Would you rent your apartment to a financially stable divorcee? #1031880popa_bar_abbaParticipanthmm. Looks like DY may be correct. do some googling on the federal housing equality act.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI’d be much more afraid of the people running the seminary.
September 8, 2014 5:21 pm at 5:21 pm in reply to: Would you rent your apartment to a financially stable divorcee? #1031856popa_bar_abbaParticipantChildren at home? What sort of “apartment” are you looking for? A room in someone’s house?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantTrue but at the age that they become women, their single counterparts are also women.
yes, but you shouldn’t be disrespectful to married or single women.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI call my married friends ‘girls’, too
These aren’t all your friends.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI don’t think this is a women’s issue. The older single men seem to be expressing a similar sentiment.
Shtuyot. I’ve never heard a man express anything of the sort.
I don’t think that vacuum exists. I think the issue is that nothing is as valued as her role in marriage, not that other things aren’t considered accomplishments.
Other way around. Nothing is as unvalued as her role in marriage. If society valued her role in marriage, it wouldn’t leave her out in the cold like this.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantlol and it all comes together.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantpopa_bar_abbaParticipantGelilah is a rather big kibud. It is questionable why it is often given to children rather than to adults.
I know. Some idiot once made a whole thread here about how he hates getting gelila.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThis discussion is retarded.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantlol I got gelilah last week
popa_bar_abbaParticipantA well written, heartrending irrelevant response.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThat wasn’t how he said it.
He was saying that the non-frum take their cues from us about what we treat as really important, and then they do only that.
So if a jew in vilna is mezalzel shabbos but still doesn’t do melacha, then the jew in paris does melacha.
Nothing mystical.
September 5, 2014 1:13 pm at 1:13 pm in reply to: What are the Signs that Moshiach's arrival is imminent? #1031090popa_bar_abbaParticipantI asked a very powerful mekubal this question. He said moshiach would come after I sold my house and gave him the money. So now I’m pretty sure its gonna come any day, but I can’t ask for updates bec I have no money left to pay to see him.
There’s a reason they’re called mekubals and not noseins.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantComes home from work and wants to relax? Why doesn’t he come home from work and then work more online remotely? Bum.
September 5, 2014 2:54 am at 2:54 am in reply to: Health insurance for Seminary – Advice needed #1030845popa_bar_abbaParticipant1. Because the seminary doesn’t want to be in the position of laying out tens of thousands of bucks in case of emergency if the hospital won’t accept your insurance.
2. Yes, get AIM. The better one. It is very user-friendly.
September 5, 2014 2:51 am at 2:51 am in reply to: How do I contact Rabbi Bablul the mekubal? #1030963popa_bar_abbaParticipantHe only exists on the CR and Imamother, so I think you should try the contact us page on one or the other. (See, e.g., Google.com)
In a different story, I thought you had to be married to use imamother.
September 4, 2014 9:58 pm at 9:58 pm in reply to: Bracha for Breadcrumbs/Cro�tons in salads #1030834popa_bar_abbaParticipantIf they are deep fried, it isn’t at all clear that the bracha is hamotzi.
September 4, 2014 12:53 pm at 12:53 pm in reply to: Does popa_bar_abba Have Ruach Hakodesh? #1120223popa_bar_abbaParticipantPba IS a mofeis.
As it says, “v’nasati mofsim b’shomayim u’vaaretz dumb v’ish v’simros oshon”
Who is dumb, and also a man, and emits clouds of smoke? Hevei omer pba.
