Hatzola is there for anyone that needs it R”L. They put their personal schedule to the back burner for any call. No one should have the chutzpa to speak bad about them no matter what.
PosterMemberbpt, i love your perspective and agree 100%.
PosterMemberI think there will be a tremendous amount of chizuk and inspiration to gain from an asifa of so many pple and the tremendous achdus of so many gedolim unified for the purity of Klal Yisroel, if you feel you are too holy to join than maybe you are the one that can really use it most.
PosterMemberA school is allowed to set rules to keep teh girls on track. If you go to a certain school you have to follow their rules. I dont think a girl should have such an impossible time getting off of facebook. Apparently, this causes lots of harm.
PosterMembermiritchka, i gve you a lot of credit the way you keep your house clean. I agree 100% that walking into a clean home is a nachas ruach and after I read your post it gave me a push to go a clean my kitchen.
Bye for now folks!
PosterMemberI wore the uniform of the school when I taught 5th grade, the girls found it hysterical. I wore a pony and a sweatshirt.
Recess time all the teachers jumped rope in the hallway, for that age this was perfect. These kids think teachers are inhuman whatever you do is funny even if its not creative.
For 8th graders you need to be shticky.
PosterMemberI have a friend that went to a chasidishe school and then wanted to go to sem in EY. When she went for the interview that principal was shocked at how this girl knew more than the BY type aplicant.
I think there is a misunderstanding about the education in chasidishe schools.
PosterMemberI cannot decide if I should include a baked item in my mishloach mano this year because some pple get uncomfortable eating other peoples home baked goods, so if they will give it to their goyta why work hard????????
February 4, 2012 7:14 pm at 7:14 pm in reply to: Gourmet Glatt is finally opening (old Friedmans location 39th street) #850157PosterMemberI didnt understand from their ads what they are going to be…

3) a few diff stores/ a mall sort of thing?
Anyone have a clue
PosterMemberAsk your doctor if you can add it to a drink. In a drink with a lot of flavor like ice tea you wont be able to taste the medicine. I once did that with a vitiamin I had to take which I procrastinated taking because of the flavor.
PosterMemberapples, carrot sticks, compot (fruit soup), sweet potato
PosterMembermommamia22, great question. My son procastinates bedtime by saying he needs the bathroom. SO i take him, then 5 min later he says he needs again, we go and nothing. this can go on and on…
PosterMemberNechomah, since you’re experienced maybe you can help me.
My sons teacher said that he would not use her bathroom. He held himself in until he came home. Is that normal? What can I do. She said he told her he needs to go, and then when he got to the bathroom he shyed away. She said all the kids use the bathroom so she couldnt figure out why he refused.
PosterMemberThanks loads for all the amazing advice. B”H my son is basically trained. I want to tell all parents before they train DONT GIVE UP!
I was ready to quit after teh first day assuming my son just wasnt ready.
PosterMember75k. Appreciation cannot pay your bills. 25k can.
PosterMemberThere is an agency in Lakewood called Rock a by baby. They can send nurses to Brooklyn. My sister used them in lkwd and then my sister in law in BP. I can fish up teh # if u r interested.
PosterMemberI suggest you buy it in a Jewish store cuz u could have many shabbos issues. My sister just bought a beautiful GE refrigerator that had great rating. She got a great price online.Then someone notified her of the shabbos issue so she called a frum appliance repair guy and he told her that there is no way to avert this problem and no frum retailer would’ve sold this to her.
She ended up returning that one and going into a frum owned appliance store in Boro Park and got a Kitchenaid.
PosterMemberI also beshowed. Though we had three beshows and for about 1 1/2 each. I was very excited to get married since our beshows went well and we heard such wonderful things about my prospective chosson. However, when I hear about girls that are crazy over their chossonim, that cant wait to speak on the phone, or that say they got everything they dreamed of plus more, I can honestly say that I didnt feel that way when I got engaged. I was excited to get to know my chosson better.
PosterMemberIt’s for a thank you card that I want to give. I want to include pictures of my children and a good quote.
PosterMemberhappiest, if these thoughts bring you to teshuva then its good to think of it. But you cant let yourself get depressed.
PosterMemberI was in middle of class when my teacher came in sobbing that there was an explosion in Manhattan. WE thought “explosion” maybe a car blew up…then we heard teh details.
September 6, 2011 8:31 pm at 8:31 pm in reply to: why do girl/boys blush at the opposite gender? #806173PosterMemberYou only blush before you get married, while opposite genders are a novelty.
PosterMemberI think it means shomer shabbos
PosterMember* Lisa Frank stationary

* DO u remember Kodac film, u just gave in a roll and didnt have to sit by a kiosk choosing pictures
PosterMemberWe used to go to Catskill Funland every summer- what fun!
Also Apollo Mall was great! Slowly stores started closing one by one. We got shoes for the new school year every summer at Bass.
Oh – how we loved the truck “moms kosher knishes – eat them hot eat them cold…”
The ice cream truck in my days sold ice cream pops. I hear nowadays they have soft ice cream! YUM!
PosterMemberFor diff reasons, I need chizuk in this area.
truth4ruth, can you tell me a little about it?
PosterMemberI love the AMI so dont talk to me about this. There is tons to read in it! Did u read about the ice creamstore in Queens that sells 5,000 flavors. Was anyone there?
PosterMemberI worked as a lifeguard in camp and got paid nothing! Our pay was being in a camp environment with friends.
I know this is a day camp but it is still fun. No one forced you to take teh job. If the pat is too little work in an office, which is not as enjoyable!
PosterMemberHaving married a chasidishe boy and not coming from a chassidishe background, the technical differences are:
1) Tisch – Friday night after the meal the men go to the rebbe
2) We follow one direction, we have one dayan, specific minhagim, there is no wishy washy…
3) My husband goes to the mikvah every morning (what does that mean to me? lost towels!;) )
4) Levush
5) speaks to our children in Yiddish
6) My husband doesnt have conversations with females other than family. He will not strike up a conversation with my friend or neighbor.
In other aspects, the fact that my husband is very warm, sings loads of zmiros etc. I dont know if this is bec he is chassidish, I am sure there are vareme litvaks too.
PosterMemberYW Moderator-42, who are u reffering to by FRUM JEWS. I dont watch movies on airplanes and I am a frum jew. If I wouldnt watch a movie in my dining room, why would i do so on an airplane?
PosterMemberA Swiss guy, looking for directions, pulls up at a bus stop where two Englishmen are waiting.
“Entschuldigung Sie Bitte, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?” he says.
The two Englishmen just stare at him.
“Excusez-moi, parlez vous Francais?”
The two continue to stare.
“Parlare Italiano?” No response.
“Hablan ustedes Espanol?” Still nothing.
The Swiss guy drives off, extremely disgusted and frustrated.
The first Englishman turns to the second and says, “Y’know, maybe we should learn a foreign language…”
“Why?” says the other, “That guy knew four languages, and that didn’t do him any good!”
PosterMemberA couple was having a discussion about family finances. Finally the husband exploded, “If it weren’t for my money, the house wouldn’t be here!”
The wife replied, “My dear, if it weren’t for your money, I wouldn’t be here.”
PosterMemberThere was this Yid from Brooklyn who decided to go to Russia for a visit. Why not? Must be an interesting place. However when he tried to do some business in the black-market. He was quickly arrested by the police and imprisoned.
When he was brought before the judge, he was informed that doing business with the black market was a terrible crime to society, since the people suffer from the inability of the government to collect taxes and the punishment was well known, death.
Although the Yid protested that he was a foreigner, his protest fell on deaf ears. The judge refused to reduce the sentence.
“The government is trying to stamp out the black market. We have no mercy on people who come here and disregard our laws. However, since you are a foreigner, and we do want to encourage foreigners to come here as tourists and to do business, legally, of course. We want to show the world that the Russian legal system has mercy. Therefore we will allow you three wishes. Any thing that you desire, just ask and you shall be granted them. The only condition is that you can not request to commute your death sentence. After your three wishes have been granted, you will have to pay for your crime.”
“O.K., if that is what I have left to do with my life, my first request is to go skiing in the Carpathian mountains.”
“What?” the judge remarked, “skiing? This is the summer! There isn’t any snow now!”
“Well,” the Yid answered, folding his arms across his chest, “I’m prepared to wait. Because that’s my first wish”
“Let it be so!” The judge banged his gavel on the desk and called the police. “When the snow falls on the Carpathian Mountains, you are to fetch this Yid and let him ski to his hearts content, from sunrise until sunset. Afterwards he is to be brought to me to complete his sentencing.”
Six months later the police came to the man’s house and took him up to the most beautiful ski resort high up on the Carpathian Mountains. The Yid skied all day and after night fall the police whisked him to the judge.
“All right, the state has granted your first wish. What is your second wish?”
“Well, I always wanted to swim in the Black Sea. That is my second request.”
“What?! The Black Sea is frozen. It’s winter now!”
“Well,” the Yid answered, “I’m prepared to wait.”
“O.K.,” The judge said banging down his gavel, “the police will come to you on a beautiful summer’s day and escort you to the ocean where you will swim to your hearts content from sun rise until sunset. Then you will be brought here to complete the sentencing.”
On a beautiful summer’s day, the police came to the man’s house and took him to the nicest resort area on the Black Sea. The Yid swam and swam the entire day and then after sunfall, was ushered in front of the judge.
“The state has kept it’s word. Now you may have your last wish, after which you will be executed! What is it?”
“Well,” the Yid began, “nothing could please me more than to be buried in a cemetery along side of you.”
“What?” the judge said, “but I’m not dead yet. How could we do that?”
“I don’t know, but I’m prepared to wait”
PosterMemberI dont think there is a/th wrong with what Shlishi wrote.
I met a boy 4 times and it didnt work out and yes, I was devestated. We are more yeshivish and by the time we met, we had a lot of research, and so yes, by the fourth time, we almost could’ve gotten engaged….
July 12, 2011 8:16 pm at 8:16 pm in reply to: Whats important to include in a Kitchen renovation contract? #785207PosterMembercheck out how your refrigerator opens up – right hinge or left hinge. Is there space for at least a 90 degree opening.
July 11, 2011 6:57 pm at 6:57 pm in reply to: Are No-Iron Dress shirts (like Paul Fredrick, etc) REALLY absolutely no iron? #785137PosterMemberMy husband tried Lands End, BB, and Jos. A Bank. I still think the BB are the best. By the end of the day my husband’s shirt looks crisp. I know some women that iron these shirts, I don’t and I think they look great.
PosterMemberMy friend’s father is very overprotective of his car. He rarely lets her use it. Once we went out for ice cream, and sure enouigh the car jammed. She was terrified to call her father. We called Chaveirim, they came in a just a couple of minutes and in no time they figured out the problem. AMAZING! (something like the steering wheel being locked…)
PosterMemberMottis pizza shop in BP makes a cheeseless veg whole wheat pizza. Which is whole wheat has tomato sauce and loads of veggies cut into tiny pieces. Its very good. Cant vouch for the amount of calories, but certainly better for the diet.
PosterMemberI have a terrible weakness when it comes to Pizza. I pass the pizza shop and cant resist!
PosterMemberFor sure, we always either brought drawers or containers that fit under the bed (though it was always a hassle to get those stuff out!)
PosterMemberWolf, when I read choice F it made me wonder why you think that way about yourself. You mentioned similar lines in other threads. You seem to be a very nice and honest fellow, there is no reason to think of yourself as a Kofer. You are always better off wearing a Yarmulka!
PosterMemberI thought it was going to be about the new type of Yarmulkas that you get for kids. The ones that you can change the leather strip across it with the kids name on it to differnt colors. Anyone saw that?
PosterMemberWith a wall unit you have a through the wall, in which you need a wall sleeve or if your wall is less than 8 inches deep you can go with a slide out unit.
We use Aj Madison for our appliance needs in brooklyn on 38th street. They have a trailer outside their store stocked with air conditioners, so I am sure there is one for you.
You also need to keep voltage in mind, so I suggest you speak to a professional, lest you order the wrong thing.
PosterMemberI also love it!! There is so much to read in the Ami Living and I see my husband enjoys the Ami magazine very much. It is quality reading.It doesnt come outin Israel though, there is someone in my building that gets it and passes it around when she is done.
PosterMemberBuy a Kemach Ministrone soup pack in the grocery, it looks like the pkg that farfel comes in.
Saute onion and veggies in a bit of oil until soft. Add water. Once the water boils add this soup pack. DELICIOUS!
PosterMemberWhat a nice long list. I guess one can always aspire!
PosterMemberrivky101, Shai Leathers on Geula. They have all the leather siddurim, keychains etc…
For more great gift ideas check out the wood shop in Meah She’arim.
PosterMember…theres a really nice (expensive!) place in rechavia. it has an upstairs and downstairs, i forgot what its called…
SHEYAN AND KEYARA!! They are both FANTASTIC. Personally, I like Sheyan better, its also a bit chepaer.
Another Fleishig restaurant in Yerushalayim is Entricot.
If you want to do more takeout style, there is Burger Bite by Shefa mall on Shamgar. They have great food.
PosterMemberI am also in Yerushalayim Ir Hakodesh, so count me in!!!
PosterMemberI sometimes drink out of a can of sprite or a 20 oz bottle. I wouldnt have done it on a date though.
