when I had the question, I called a Rav, and his Psak was its Asur, unless I get permission from the producer. I called the producer and he said NO. I offered to mail a check for copy (same as original cost) and he still said NO. So no, you dont buy rights to do whatever you want. You buy the right to use the purchased copy you paid for, nothing else.

Ari, what is your source of Parnassa, and how would you feel if someone would bypass your services and cause you a loss of income?

Poeple, please dont be selfish and look for every excuse why its mutar. For you its $10, for someone else its their Parnassa.

Please.

if no personal reference, and many times its written to be displayed – what is the problem?

yes, people do purchase it. if he doesnt know how to write, he would buy it same as he would buy her a ring.

Chassonim, I sugget you tell your Kalla: “I prefer you do not display it” if thats what you wish.

OTOH, I know a girl who wrote her classmate a nice poem for her engagement, which the couple included in an album of cards, and shared with friends. One bochur, a friend of the chosson was impressed with the depth of midrashim combined (a rarity in our day and age, huh?) and was asking if the writer was a single girl. Today they are a happy couple.

His original interest was created based on her depth, thinking, talent, expression.

big debate if children do. associated with serious conditions. I would say: dont.

which employer provides food? be polite and appreciate what you get. For those who need a babysitters in Brooklyn without a long list of requests, I can match you with some very good people. Day time for sure.

wedding gowns for family members, crowns for kallas (I can donate some for anyone who opens a gmach), shoes coats in excellent condition, used furniture gmach (shadchan, no need to store it, just accept calls with descriptions of wanted/ want to donate and connect them), loan of sheva brachos outfits for imemdiate family or kalla (again, can take numbers, size and connect ppl, no need to use your home)

I got a prob. when I am asked to order food, I order for mostly non kosher people, and am given a budget based on non kosher, so I order Kosher, adn end up paying out of pocket for the balance, and wodner maybe allow them to order and bring something from home. Only gain for my financial daily subsidy is knowing sometimes that a jew eats kosher. (a jew sometimes in group, not always).

Lia, What a chutzpa on her part.

first, for you to give her, is simply assur!!

How to do it diplomatically? “we right now have committed our charity”.

when u see avovda zara “shaketz teshaktzenu”, of course you are not permiited to support avoda zara!!

Be proud she appreciates how charitable we are.

while no personal connection, I know of a lot of wonderful families that owe their wholesomeness to BYOBP and Rabbi Shapiro. Some who had no chance elsewhere. BH.

As Hakaras Hatov, I would suggest parents to come up with a committe of parents who can raise funds to bring things back and return Rabbi Shapiro. Raising funds takes a lot of work, but survival of teh school is important.

We dont want to be forced out of Brooklyn to Lakewood, and still in our hands.

And let me share the news, Lkwd schools are very choosy, and you wont have a welcoming committee awaiting you, for many ordinary families.

Are Gedolim guiding the show here? probably not. Does Rabbi erenreich have a saying? same answer.

Sad. Something can be done, and should be done.

Why should litvish be forced out of Brooklyn?

we paid for storage for gifts, we had a small place… so anything that could fit into a wallet was appreciated!

bird, can you email me?

bird, cant you google him like I did? you will be thankful you met him. Dr Ingber

Gimpel, it simply turned to what really stands behind the post. If one asks: How can I hide from responibility/ law while enjoying the benefit of others filling up my slack, the answer is: why are you avoiding responsibility. Ma Damcha Samuk medamo. so always there will be some “spiritual” souls, counting their summer homes and saying why spiritually you dont need to have a responsibility. it is not an easy sugya.

honey mustard – if put on skin and baked –

1. how long do you bake covered, and how long uncovered?

2. I find that flavor remains on skin only which my family doesnt eat – does anyone get somehow flavor on the actual chicken? How?

Thanks

Never hang up. Its wrong.

In business, its a good way to lose your job. You want customers to treat you well? maybe at the Airlines Club at the Airport. Other jobs, typically, clients approach can really range.

you will always meet bosses who are unreasonable, clients who are unreasonable. Survive. with grace is even better!

Certainly a charachter builder, aka as “middos”.

for honey mustard, or soy honey – how long would you bake? covered?

for rice: if I bake my chichen for 2.5 hours, wouldnt rice be too soft?

CS is being nice to clients and resolving, not being a mechanech. It is understood when they are upset at the company, they call the company, and you represent the company, so being yelled at is a part of the package. Your job is to be pleasant, LISTEN, apologize for the issue and calmly try to help. If being nice is too much for you, if you take it personal, if you feel you DO NOT represent the company, the job is not for you.

CS is restoring client trust in company – How would you do it? certainly not by a chinuch approach…

he is going out with many girls and it adds up?

well, for calcualtion purpose, his future wife is going out with others at the same time, and others are spending on her….

So it all evens out.

and iyh she will make for him many many meals, 3 /365 a year for litvish, more if you are chassidish, so its a small investment..

if the girl is 18, and she is not comfortable – ask her. It should be her option. “I would like to take you out for Dinner, would that be ok with you, do you prefer milchig or fleishig”

and a superb head counselor, who really cares and available, and makes a hugh difference for campers experience, placing them in the right bunk, etc.

Ari, negia is a Halacha, its not an opinion, and I find the entire posting photos of young ladies distasteful.

if you see someone wearing a beautiful sheitel, ask them where they got it and how happy they are with it, that is best way. you have to like the appearance, and you can be the only judge. asking strangers? who says you like what they wear?

Not all Shevys are good quality. Ask, ask ask.

One more thing: ask the person if she needed any service after the purchase, how easy it was to get to the seller. A Kalla friend bought a new expensive one from someone who sold her a nice shaitel, and did a fine job styling, and promised to be available during sheva brachos for touch ups. it has been 2 yrs and she still didnt return any of the calls and msgs with kids etc. Collecting 3.5k was quick, anything after was impossible. so ask in advance.

eclipse, is it over?

making a plan to work for earrning is such a logical thing to do. Right now, for every young person considering marriage. Marriage is a responsibility. The Kesuba you sign means exactly that. Rely on charities when you are young and able is lack of self respect. go get a job, like the Tanoim did.

yossi, I agree with your post – prob cant use maaser, but if OP has issues paying for dates, I suggest he thinks how to afford a wife and a family, so no disaster is approaching… feeding a family is much more than cost of a date.

OP, if you dont want to spend on the paper, can arrange with a friend who buys/ subscribes – reading a paper a few days later (even a week or so) is still full of good articles. Just took a Bina sitting here since Erev Pessach, (was bh very busy), and still enjoyed it.
