brook19, and you went to Ashkenazic B.Y. schools.
brooklyn, that was the impression I got, lol 🙂 Shouldn’t that be on the Random Questions thread?
Actually a couple of times you used the Sephardic havara, like “Bat” Mitzvah. (On some other thread.)
brklyn19, are you Sephardic?
dont have internet – just ask me, and don’t bother her. 🙂
Why do women live longer than men?
Because G-d adds them the time that they wasted on parking.
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
Why don’t women need drivers licenses?
There is no road between the bedroom and the kitchen.
How many men does it take to open a beer?
None, it should be opened when she brings it to you.
What’s worse than a male chauvinistic pig?
A women who won’t do what she’s told.
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he wants. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn’t want.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
So, G-d made Adam. Adam was walking around one day and realized that he was lonely, so he asked G-d for a companion. G-d said, “I can make a woman for you. She will cook and clean and do everything you ask her to. She will wait on you hand and foot. It’s going to cost you an arm and a leg, though.”
Adam said, “Well, what can I get for a rib?”
brooklyn, what time are you expecting me?
Notice the continuing avoidance of naming a single purported Rabbi that supports or allows televisions in the home.

intellegent, Many Rebbes and Rabbonim didn’t allow themselves do be photographed for that very reason. They held it was a form of Avoda Zora.
The Chasidim do it like that.
asdfghjkl – what was the subject that you got rejected?
illini07,
By time you find out if you lost your Olam Haboah due to your television habits, it will be too late to do anything about it.
As far as your refusing to name your Rabbi, name ANY Rabbi who is on the record supporting television in a Jewish home. I have trouble believing you will find any, but in the unlikely event I am mistaken, please do name ANY that are on the record as such. Our side has given you a boatload of the most respectable Rabbi’s who declared otherwise.
Not a single kiruv worker will ever advise someone to come to shul by driving on Shabbos. CHAS V’CHALILA!! They will all advise to better stay home!
Isn’t the whole idea of the CR itself bitul zman?
Too many tragedies have occurred from what simply started out as an “innocent conversation.”
Sounds like theres a few people here who are allergic to supporting the Torah.
The people who focus on looks/beauty as a priority, are nebech usually the ones who later regret their choices and end up…
Did anyone already suggest adding new moderators to help things move along?
There obviously isn’t more than 2 moderators (78 & 99?) considering the long times it takes posts to be reviewed/approved.
Another interesting facet regarding posters here that I’ve noticed, is that the youngest posters come in two extremes. Either totally Torah-oriented, meaningful, from the heart, and indeed wisdom that reflects beyond their age; or followers of the shallow liberal/modern ideology picked up from the latest edition of the New York Times. (The older posters do seem to come in greater varieties, with some middle ground.)
Its an interesting observation.
Well, well, well look what we have here… the return if the G-man, eh G-boy!
And what do you know? Looks like my analysis here:
was right on the mark, denied as it was!
Give Darwin A Break.
cantoresq,
Thanks for all that. Were the Neolog’s religious practices closer to today’s Orthodoxy or Conservative/Mosarati? And are there any meaningful practicing Neolog communities left? (BTW, the “status quo” practiced Judaism like the Orthodox [i.e. it was just a political division]? And what has become of them?) What caused the rift in 1868?
Where can I get Weinberger’s writing?
To all those I missed… sorry!

charlie brown: You are some character…
I can only try: Try in things other than riddles…
nameless: Who are you anyways?
havesomeseichel: We all look up to you.
Now who have I missed/offended??
Feel free to explain your own name… You chose it, not me!
Heimish/Yeshivish/Ashkenaz
cantoresq: Can you explain (to the non-Hungarians) who/what the Neolog’s where? Are they somewhat akin to todays Conservative/Mosarati’s? What were there beliefs? (And what about the “Status Quo”? When did they disappear, why, how where they different?) Do they still exist in meaningful numbers? Were they only in Hungary?
rabbiofberlin: That sounds quite “mixed up”! What are you… a heimishe litvak of sefardic heritage?
yoshi: How are you 1/3, 1/3, & 1/3!?!? Heritage can be broken in 1/2’s or 1/4’s (or 1/8’s, etc.) But 1/3’s are impossible!! (And what is “other” anyways that you speak of?)
I could pretty much guess most posters affiliations.
Why not post yourself, it would be interesting!
Hire a bunch of additional moderators so comments post within a reasonable timeframe. (Especially for those of us outside the US of A, who have long no-post periods.)
Charles Schwab – I’m your customer!
cantoresq – Is cantorial music merely your passion, or do you practice it?

…when you (think you) have a psychological profile of the other frequent posters in the Coffee Room.
No one answered the original posters point. If you are so keen on relying on the heter to eat Cholov Akum, why are you not also following Reb Moshe’s psak that using a timer with an Air Conditioner is ossur on Shabbos!?
oomis, The quoted meforshim are 100% Toras Emes. As true today, as the day it was written.
A womans place is in the home. (This is per the Torah.)
jf2 – what is your religious affiliation? that last comment of your strongly indicates it is something OTHER than Orthodox.
Thank G-d we still have people willing to stick by their religion and not water down Judaism to feel-goodism.
This is 100% Toras Emes.
My question is as follows. We all know traditionalists will never do any of these neo-feminist pseudo-religious ideas.
So why are we discussing hypothetics that is essentially limited, in practice, to the fringes?
And of course, the Gedolim both in Eretz Yisroel and America have assured a Jew’s books that tried to peddle evolution as being compatible with the Torah.
The Gedolim have made clear that evolution is kefira and Keneged HaTorah HaKedosha.

Evolution is just a theory, not a fact. (And a false theory, at that.)
Past evidence for evolution has been overturned. In the past, major scientific revolutions have overturned theories that were at the time considered factual.
In the past there have been scientific hoaxes regarding evolution, such as the Piltdown Man forgery.
Pieces of “evidence” for evolution such as Ernst Haeckel’s 19th-century embryo drawings, were not merely “scientific errors” but frauds; Biology textbooks have continued to reproduce such “evidence” long after it had been debunked.
Evolution is a pseudo-religion (evolution is based on faith, supporters of evolution revere Charles Darwin as a prophet, and supporters of evolution dogmatically reject alternative suggestions out-of-hand.)
Evolution is “unfalsifiable” (there is no tests that could be made that would demonstrate that the statement is false). Any “fact” can be “fitted” into the evolutionary framework. Past events of speciation are not observable and repeatable, and therefore evolution is not falsifiable. In 1976, Popper himself said that “Darwinism is not a testable scientific theory but a metaphysical research programme”.
Report: Hamas says its officials met Obama aides before U.S. election
By Avi Issacharoff, Haaretz Correspondent
The Arab daily Al-Hayat on Tuesday quoted a senior Hamas official as saying that United States President-elect Barack Obama’s advisors met with members of the Palestinian militant group before the U.S. presidential election.
Ahmed Yusuf, a political advisor to Hamas’ Gaza leader Ismail Haniyeh, reportedly told the London-based paper that, “The connection was made via email and after that we met with them in Gaza.”
Al-Hayat reported that Yusuf also said the relations were maintained after Obama’s electoral victory last Tuesday. He said the president-elect’s advisors requested that the relations be kept secret so as not to aid his rival, Senator John McCain.
During Obama’s campaign, he pledged that his administration would only hold talks with Hamas if it renounced terrorism, recognized Israel’s right to exist, and abided by past agreements.
On Saturday, Hamas political bureau chief Khaled Meshal told Sky News that he is willing to hold talks with Obama, and that he is challenging the newly elected leader to follow through on past statements indicating a willingness to sit down with America’s chief adversaries on the world stage.
Rabbosai!
We have been forewarned!
Now we must forearm!
Let us hit the Beis Medrash! The Beis Hakenneses! Let us tear up shmayim in our tefillos that this rasha be defeated off his throne!
mazal77: Whats the address for that site? I’d love to see it!
An alte maaise.
gmab:
Patience is a virtue.
Do you support aborting the unborn fetuses of animals, or just human abortion?
gmab:
All we have is conjecture with your secretive posture. But STILL, no need to get all bent out of shape and repeat yourself twice and respond 3 times to a simple thought.
I get the strong sense that gmab is at home with his parents, behind their YeshivaNet controlled access, who have no idea what kind of mischief he is up to here. They feel safe with YeshivaNet, but gmab being the klieger kinnd he is, wants to show he can be up to no good even WITH that service.
Give gmab a break. Maybe he’s an alte bochor and doesn’t want to discuss…
illini:
Its deeply entrenched in the Torah itself:

Learn to love it.
the oilam notes with much satisfaction that sammygol has made the leap from blog to forum, and we welcome him to the coffee room for the very first time!
round of applause please! you may all take your seats now…
Itzik,
I’m not sure they are trolls, as much as they are genuinely krum. They literally live, breath, and bought hook line and sinker into the egalitarian American secular culture with all its excesses and immoralities. And then they actually try to make their egalitarianism and secularism and immoralism into the new age Torah no less! And even worse propogate it and attempt to annihilate any true rendition of the Torah.
Literally on this very site you have more than a handful of such unashamed posters. I venture to say that in online forums they outnumber Torah True individuals. (Probably as a result of many Torah True Yidden eschewing usage of the internet.)
